Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Natural History: Chiefly Ornithology Should it be remarked that I have commented somewhat severely on certain parts of the Bio graphy of Birds, I answer, that I should only have taken as much notice of that work as would have been necessary to prove that the new theory could not be depended upon, had not the partisans of the author given me ample cause of provocation. Had they continued under arms, it was my intention to review the whole of the Biography of Birds, together with the author's Introductory Address. The controversial papers which have appeared on different subjects in Mr. Loudon's Magazine are not included in these Essays. Had mine been introduced, those of my opponents must equally have been admitted, for the sake of perspicuity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cultures and Institutions of Natural History: Essays in the History and Philosophy of Science This volume consists mainly of papers delivered at two meetings cosponsored by the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale in Milan and the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. The first, on the Culture of Natural History, was held in Milan, November l4-l 6, I996. The second, on Institutions of Natural History, was held in San Francisco, October 5 - 7, 1998. They followed two earlier conferences on Biology as History (pinna and Ghiselin I996; Ghiselin and Pinna I996) likewise held in Milan and San Francisco. We intend to continue the series of meetings and have publications based on them in commemoration of the Academy's sesquicentennial in 2003. The emphasis here is mainly upon natural history museums and the kind of science that goes on in them. Although the essays were originally written to stand by themselves, when arranged in chronological order they suggest a common theme. To paraphrase Darwin, the culture and institutions of natural history have been, and are being, evolved. They have adapted to local circumstances, diversified, and sometimes even progressed. We may hope that the future holds more than just retrogression and extinction in store. Read as case studies the essays provide valuable insights into not just how, but why, the institutions have come into being and subsequently been transformed. Previous generations had quite different ideas than we do about how a collection of naturalia is supposed to function and how it should be organized. And there were con icting goals and serious disputes about policy, much as there are today. Often, though not always, the institutions turn out to be very different from what had been envisioned by their founders.

T. S. under the titles Science and Scientists, Science or Romance? Evolutionary Philosophy and Common Sense. Although the topics of which they treat are very various, and, it may seem, diverse, they have this in common, that all deal with points raised by the more prominent and dogmatic Evolutionists, whose writings are familiar to the public; whilst the object of all is to show that we have the means of judging for ourselves concerning much which we are commonly bidden to accept on the authority of experts.

Download or read book Essays on the Anatomy of Expression in Painting written by Sir Charles Bell and published by . This book was released on 1806 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First edition of Bell's (1774-1842) important study of the anatomy and physiology of facial expression. The expressions, attitudes, and movements of the human body had always interested scientists as well as artists, but never before had thy been treated with such depth and conciseness. The work reflects Bell's brilliance as both artist and anatomist, and inspired Darwin's own Expression of the Emotions (1872), which he described Bell as one of the founders of the subject as a branch of science.

This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Observations on Natural History, Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, and Geology, Vol. 2 Comparative Anatomy is fit only to be read by those that understand a good deal of the human body and the general animal economy; for if they do not understand the standard, they cannot understand the variations from it. It is too great a task for any indi vidual to make it any way perfect, for he must dissect most animals to be able to class them, and arrange them in such order as to make them intelligible and easier for others to pursue this species of know ledge. For example, if we find that all the lion-tribe are the same [in structure], it will save others from dissecting all this class, or it will enable us to dissect or examine them with much more accuracy. When I compared the human with the quadruped (not considering the intended uses of [the parts in] each, which would make me admire them equally), it always put me in mind of two machines of the same kind, one made by an artist, the other only an imitation of it made by a novice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Museums: And Other Subjects Connected With Natural History Having lately, during an enforced period of restraint from active occupation, had leisure to look back upon the events of a somewhat busy life, it occurred to me that besides the administration, in succession, of two large public museums, and some original scientific investigation, the results of which can be of interest only to the very few, there have been occa sions which have involved a contact with wider and more varied circles. Though the records of these occasions have doubtless been mainly of passing or local concern, it is possible that some thing may be found among them worth placing in a more accessible and permanent form than in the scattered journals or pamphlets in which they can only be found at present. Such of these essays and addresses as seemed suitable for republication in the present collection mainly group them selves under three distinct branches of the many into which the intellectual and educational activity of our age is manifested.
