Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, 1918, Vol. 1 The sort of false rumours that I have been quoting above were all concerning matters of high political or military import. But the Middle Ages were no less rife in popular fictions which were purely anecdotal, mar vellous, or intended to act as moral warnings. Tales of ghosts, devils, or impossible natural phenomena, of awful instances Of divine judgment on criminals, heretics, or blasphemers, used to pass freely from mouth to mouth, and sometimes even to get enshrined in a chronicle by some credulous writer greedy of anecdotes. For the sort of thing that would nowadays appear among the 'short paragraphs' of a halfpenny newspaper would in the thirteenth century have appealed to the less severe type of chronicler. The parallels of the gigantic straw berry or the five-ounce hen's-egg of to-day were such things as an apparition of the devil in Essex, or the Swallowing up by the 'earth of a woman at Newbury who was adding appeals to God to rank perjury. If the place was sufficiently remote from the chronicler's abode, the story might get down in black and white. The length of time for which some of these legends passed current is extraordinary. They emerge sub stantially identical in outline, but with place and name and date changed, at very long intervals, and in very different parts of Europe. They were still strong in the seventeenth century, and I Should not like to say that they altogether died out in the eighteenth. They were the parents of many ballads and chap-books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, 1915, Vol. 9 Came like a deluge on the South, and spread Beneath Gibraltar to the Libyan sands. While the general aspects Of the war appeal to the imagination of historians, one part of the world-wide field in which it is waged has a special interest for us as English men. We associate with the names of the cities and rivers of Belgium memories of older battles than those which now turn them to heaps of ashes and redden the waters. There is hardly a place in Belgium or on its borders in which the ancestors of the English soldiers fighting now have not fought in times past. The names of Nieuport, Ostend, Antwerp, Ypres, and many other places take us back to earlier triumphs or reverses. All have their niche in the pages of our military history. \vhy is it that so many of our battles have been fought in this particular plot Of ground? It seemed to me that it would be not inappro priate to consider the causes which have produced the constant repetition of the same phenomena in successive centuries, and to link the present with the past by showing why we were Originally led to fight on Belgian soil, and to make its defence the traditional Object of English policy.

This book was released on 2003-07-28 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces physics students and teachers to the historical development of the kinetic theory of gases, by providing a collection of the most important contributions by Clausius, Maxwell and Boltzmann, with introductory surveys explaining their significance. In addition, extracts from the works of Boyle, Newton, Mayer, Joule, Helmholtz, Kelvin and others show the historical context of ideas about gases, energy and irreversibility. In addition to five thematic essays connecting the classical kinetic theory with 20th century topics such as indeterminism and interatomic forces, there is an extensive international bibliography of historical commentaries on kinetic theory, thermodynamics, etc. published in the past four decades.The book will be useful to historians of science who need primary and secondary sources to be conveniently available for their own research and interpretation, along with the bibliography which makes it easier to learn what other historians have already done on this subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings, 1919, Vol. 1: Report of the Council for the Year Ending 3rd March, 1919; Financial Statements for 1918; Building Fund; Proceedings of the Council (Dec. 1918-Jan/1919) The Council of the Institute in presenting this Report cannot refrain from expressing their thankfulness on the victory of the Allied Arms and the prospect of peace. Before, however, dealing with the work of the Institute during the past year, the Council desire to place on record a brief resume of those activities connected with the war in which the Insti tute, its Fellows and Associates, and British chemists generally have taken a part. In September, 1914, the question of securing adequate supplies of chemical reagents, laboratory glass and porcelain, and filter paper claimed the early attention of the Institute and the Society of Public Analysts. Joint meetings of the Councils of the two bodies were held to consider the matter. A Committee from the two bodies was formed to deal with the question of reagents, and a List of Reagents for Analytical Purposes, with notes indicating the standard of purity regarded as necessary for analytical work, was produced and circu lated to manufacturers, some of whom undertook to provide reagents complying with the tests prescribed. In October, I914, the Council of the Institute appointed a Glass Research Committee, the primary object of which was to provide formulas for the manufacture of laboratory ware. Their work was subsequently extended to embrace many other varieties of glass and has continued until practically the date of the armistice. The valuable results attained arefamiliar to the Members of the Institute from the reports which have appeared in the Proceedings from time to time.

This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is nothing like it on the market...no others are as encyclopedic...the writing is exemplary: simple, direct, and competent." —George W. Cobb, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics and Statistics, Mount Holyoke College Written in a direct and clear manner, Classic Topics on the History of Modern Mathematical Statistics: From Laplace to More Recent Times presents a comprehensive guide to the history of mathematical statistics and details the major results and crucial developments over a 200-year period. Presented in chronological order, the book features an account of the classical and modern works that are essential to understanding the applications of mathematical statistics. Divided into three parts, the book begins with extensive coverage of the probabilistic works of Laplace, who laid much of the foundations of later developments in statistical theory. Subsequently, the second part introduces 20th century statistical developments including work from Karl Pearson, Student, Fisher, and Neyman. Lastly, the author addresses post-Fisherian developments. Classic Topics on the History of Modern Mathematical Statistics: From Laplace to More Recent Times also features: A detailed account of Galton's discovery of regression and correlation as well as the subsequent development of Karl Pearson's X2 and Student's t A comprehensive treatment of the permeating influence of Fisher in all aspects of modern statistics beginning with his work in 1912 Significant coverage of Neyman–Pearson theory, which includes a discussion of the differences to Fisher’s works Discussions on key historical developments as well as the various disagreements, contrasting information, and alternative theories in the history of modern mathematical statistics in an effort to provide a thorough historical treatment Classic Topics on the History of Modern Mathematical Statistics: From Laplace to More Recent Times is an excellent reference for academicians with a mathematical background who are teaching or studying the history or philosophical controversies of mathematics and statistics. The book is also a useful guide for readers with a general interest in statistical inference.
