Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Rational Breeding In 1886, after having been a breeder of basset-hounds for some fourteen years, during which time I was an exceedingly close observer of the results brought about by the crossing of individual hounds of the same family, of hounds of differing families, of hounds of differing strains, and accidental alliances of basset-hounds with other varieties of the species Dog, I produced - being firmly convinced that there was some reason for the differences in individual, family, strain, and variety types of the species, deterioration, degeneration, difficulty in rearing, and, finally, non-reproduction in the breed - a small work for the purpose of giving the reasons for the above, and for the additional purpose of showing the members of the Basset Hound Club how a better result could be obtained. This small work was brought out, or at least the principles on which it was based, by the Chasse Illustree, in three articles written by Mons. E. Frechon, who, having studied its scientific basis, says: - "It is in the formation and application of these rules that the English have become, and have remained, so far as breeding is concerned, our masters. "Whereas we in France leave everything to luck, awaiting some fortuitous and unforeseen circumstance to produce superior types in a breed, over there (England) they have for ages modified the laws which regulate crossing. They have, I might almost say, 'weighed' the exact proportion of blood necessary to be added, through several generations, to that of some celebrated individual, so as to ensure in the end his type and attributes. "Yet, notwithstanding pedigrees and the like, we, on the other hand, unfortunately for us, continue to breed, trusting to luck, the outcome being, of course, that our produce is invariably destined to be inferior, and therefore beaten by the produce of rational breeding, of breeding reduced to a system of algebraical formulae. Yes, formulae which we may laugh, but a system, nevertheless, which furnishes, nineteen out of twenty times, field prize winners, champions on the show bench, celebrities on the turf, and prize winners at the agricultural meetings." Such, then, are Mons. Frechon's views, and he has put them before his countrymen more in the manner of an Englishman than any one else.

Download or read book Made to Order written by Margaret E. Derry and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal breeding has been complicated by persisting factors across species, cultures, geography, and time. In Made to Order, Margaret E. Derry explains these factors and other breeding concerns in relation to both animals and society in North America and Europe over the past three centuries. Made to Order addresses how breeding methodology evolved, what characterized the aims of breeding, and the way structures were put in place to regulate the occupation. Illustrated by case studies on important farm animals and companion species, the book presents a synthetic overview of livestock breeding as a whole. It gives considerable emphasis to genetics and animal breeding in the post-1960 period, the relationship between environmental and improvement breeding, and regulation of breeding as seen through pedigrees. In doing so, Made to Order shows how studying the ancient human practice of animal breeding can illuminate the ways in which human thinking, theorizing, and evolving characterize our interactions with all-natural processes.

Download or read book Science Serialized written by Geoffrey Cantor and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-03-12 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays examining the ways in which the Victorian periodical press presented the scientific developments of the time to general and specialized audiences. Nineteenth-century Britain saw an explosion of periodical literature, with the publication of over 100,000 different magazines and newspapers for a growing market of eager readers. The Victorian periodical press became an important medium for the dissemination of scientific ideas. Every major scientific advance in the nineteenth century was trumpeted and analyzed in periodicals ranging from intellectual quarterlies such as the Edinburgh Review to popular weeklies like the Mirror of Literature, from religious periodicals such as the Evangelical Magazine to the atheistic Oracle of Reason. Scientific articles appeared side by side with the latest fiction or political reporting, while articles on nonscientific topics and serialized novels invoked scientific theories or used analogies drawn from science.The essays collected in Science Serialized examine the variety of ways in which the nineteenth-century periodical press represented science to both general and specialized readerships. They explore the role of scientific controversy in the press and the cultural politics of publication. Subject range from the presentation of botany in women's magazines to the highly public dispute between Darwin and Samuel Butler, and from discussions of the mind-body problem to those of energy physics. Contributors include leading scholars in the fields of history of science and literature: Ann B. Shteir, Jonathan Topham, Frank A. J. L. James, Roger Smith, Graeme Gooday, Crosbie Smith, Ian Higginson, Gillian Beer, Bernard Lightman, Helen Small, Gowan Dawson, Jonathan Smith, James G. Paradis, and Harriet Ritvo
