Book excerpt: Excerpt from Berge's Complete Natural History of the Animal, Mineral, and Vegetable Kingdoms WE will take a walk a little way into the country. There is a quarry on the other side of the road, and we stroll across and look at the stone. It is lifeless, and is unable to absorb any nutriment. Consequently it does not grow, but only increases in size by accumulations on its exterior. All stones or minerals - for they form the Mineral Kingdom - are inorganic bodies. But look, between the stones there are numerous shells of snails and mussels. How heavy they are! They are as heavy as the layers of bluish-grey limestone in which they are embedded, and are also similar in colour. These shells are the petrified remains of animals which inhabited the lakes and seas thousands of years ago. They furnish us with evidence of what the world was like formerly, and therefore arouse our greatest interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Martin's Natural History: Translated From the Thirty-Fifth German Edition The study of Natural History is commanding increased attention from year to year, in our own and foreign lands. The most illustrious names in science have won distinction in this comparatively modern field, and their contributions have served to excite others to the most enthusiastic and persevering labors to add to the stores of knowledge already acquired. Notwithstanding the splendid results of the labors in these realms of inquiry which English and French Naturalists have made Within the last twenty years, it was left for a German scholar to bring to the task the zeal, ability, and ingenuity necessary to condense into a moderate compass the infer mation now available respecting the Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral Kingdoms. Such an undertaking was bold, and its success was doubtful. But the result has demonstrated the genius and skill of the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from System of Natural History: Containing Scientific and Popular Descriptions of Various Animals In the limited sense in which Natural History is thus to be under stood, as confined to the three great divisions of Animals, Vegetables, and Minerals, a System of Nature is a grand catalogue of the Objects in these kingdoms, in which each individual has a distinctive charac ter and an appropriate name. These individuals, for the sake of ar rangement, are collected into groups, which have something in com men, and which are termed Genera; genera are further combined into other groups, which form in systems what are called Orders; and or ders are finally arranged under one great head, which is termed a Class. This scale of divisions, of which the highest contains the least, is, as Baron Cuvier remarks, a kind of dictionary, where the properties of things are investigated to discover their names, and which reverses the usual order of such works, where the names are indicated 18 de tailing the qualities of the things named.

Download or read book Animal Vegetable Mineral written by Susannah Gibson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the time of Aristotle, there had been a clear divide between the three kingdoms of animal, vegetable, and mineral. But by the eighteenth century, biological experiments, and the wide range of new creatures coming to Europe from across the world, challenged these neat divisions. Abraham Trembley found that freshwater polyps grew into complete individuals when cut. This shocking discovery raised deep questions: was it a plant or an animal? And this was not the only conundrum. What of coral? Was it a rock or a living form? Did plants have sexes, like animals? The boundaries appeared to blur. And what did all this say about the nature of life itself? Were animals and plants soul-less, mechanical forms, as Descartes suggested? The debates raging across science played into some of the biggest and most controversial issues of Enlightenment Europe. In this book, Susannah Gibson explains how a study of pond slime could cause people to question the existence of the soul; observation of eggs could make a man doubt that God had created the world; how the discovery of the Venus fly-trap was linked to the French Revolution; and how interpretations of fossils could change our understanding of the Earth's history. Using rigorous historical research, and a lively and readable style, this book vividly captures the big concerns of eighteenth-century science. And the debates concerning the divisions of life did not end there; they continue to have resonances in modern biology.
