Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scientific and Literary Treasury: A New and Popular Encyclopedia of the Belles Lettres It may, at first sight, appear that a great disparity exists between the length of the difi'erent articles. It must be remembered, however, that many are merely definitions of technical terms, which could be better and more clearly expressed in a brief sentence or two, than in half a column. The magnitude or intricacy of others demanded a comparatively long discussion; and there are not a few which, either from their novelty or their present popularity, would be considered as too slightly noticed, if the same process of conden sation had been used in regard to them, as was applied to others, of equal importance perhaps, but more generally known, or better understood.

Download or read book Classics of Modern Science Copernicus to Pasteur Classic Reprint written by William Skinkle Knickerbocker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classics of Modern Science (Copernicus to Pasteur) These movements of science have produced a Copious literature which has not enjoyed the same attention and reading as imaginative books, because, once the ideas are known and incorporated into the existing body of scientific knowledge, these scientific writings tend to acquire chiefly an historical interest. Yet they are monuments of the advance of civilization, and deserve a better fate. Many of them are still interesting to read as human documents because they illustrate how painfully and slowly man's exact knowledge of verifiable pheno mena has been accumulated. No one outside of the small company of highly trained scientists can read all of them through, yet most of them have sections which are as readable and as exciting as any mod ern novel. It is the purpose of this book to present to the young col lege student and to the general reader some of the more representative of these classics in the literature of science, bringing together in this convenient form at least some reminders of a vast field of reading where one may browse for a lifetime with interest and profit. If it be used in conjunction with a history of science it will readily supply a vivid sense of the movement of the mind of western civilization, in creasing in us a respect for the effort of our ancestors, and inspire us to encourage and to forward the work of contemporary scientists, and restrain us at least from hindering them in their efforts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Excelsior, Vol. 4: Helps to Progress in Religion, Science, and Literature We must then commence by telling him that the ordi nary rocks which he sees used for building-stones, for paving the streets, &c., or those which he meets with in clifl's or quarries, or of which he sees the rolled and rounded fragments in gravel-pits, were all formed in one of two ways. They have either cooled from a molten condition, the result of intense heat, or they have been deposited and compacted together under water. They are called, there fore, Igneous rocks and Aqueous rocks: The latter are often called Sedimentary, as being the result of the deposi tion of sediment in water; and Stratified, because they have been strewed out so as to form wide sheets, or beds, or strata. The igneous rocks, on the other hand, are often called the Unstratified rocks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story-Book of Science In his unselfish eagerness to see the truths of nat ural science brought within the comprehension and the enjoyment of all, Fabre would have been the first to wish for a wide circulation for his own books In many countries and many languages; and thus, though it is now too late to obtain his authorization of these translations, one cannot regard it as a wrong to his memory to do what may lie in one 's power to spread the knowledge he has so wisely and wittily, with such insight and ingenuity, imparted to those of his own country and tongue. It remains to add that in the following pages the somewhat stiff dialogue form of the original has given place to the more attractive and flexible narra tive style, with as little violence as possible to the author's text.

This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Johnson's New Universal Cyclopedia, Vol. 2 of 4: A Scientific and Popular Treasury of Useful Knowledge; Part I., F-Herman The design with which the work, the Second Volume of which is herewith given to the public, was originally undertaken, was to furnish a convenient hand-book of ready reference, more comprehensive in its scope and more condensed in its statements of fact than any of its class which had preceded it. The favor with which the First Volume has been received, and the flattering expressions of approval which it has elicited from impartial judges of the highest competency, have been such as to assure its Editors that the want they aimed to supply is one widely felt, and that the efibrts they have made to meet it have not been unsuccessful. Encouraged by these evidences Of approbation, and by the confidence derived from their experience in the preparation of the First Volume, they have striven, as the work advanced, to make the performance even better than the promise; and the present volume will be found to more than fulfil the pledges which accompanied the publication of the first. The plan of the work as originally projected contemplated but three volumes. This number, for weighty reasons, was afterward extended to four, but the change was made so early as to affect very few of the subscribers, and with scarcely an exception was cordially approved by these. The expediency of the change was suggested by the gratifying success of the Editors in enlisting, to an extent greatly surpassing anticipation, the active co-ope ration of eminent collaborators both in this country and abroad, and thus accumulating a mass Of material too voluminous to be embraced within the limits originally proposed, and quite too valuable to be suppressed. There has thus been secured to the work the very signal advantage that the freshness of the information it furnishes upon all those topics as to which the progress of research brings change, and the accuracy of its state ments Upon topics of importance of every kind, are attested by the names of men recog nized everywhere as authorities upon the subjects of which they treat. While, therefore, the plan of the work, as laid down in the original Preface, has been faithfully adhered to, the proportional number of articles having the form of systematic essays will be found in this volume to have been materially increased, and the number of articles of all descrip tions bearing the signatures of distinguished special contributors is greater by some hun dreds than in the volume preceding. Very many of these - not fewer than two or three hundred at the smallest estimate - are articles upon topics of interest in science, letters, and constructive art of which the titles do not appear in any contemporary work of the kind; many of them having been, in fact, suggested by the recent progress Of scientific discovery or literary research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science of Common Life The value of an introduction to the scientific method in the School training of both sexes is now fully recognised. There is still some difference of opinion, however, as to how girls can best be taught to appreciate the value of experiment and deduction in the endeavour to understand the forces of Nature. Fortunately, we believe, the idea gains ground that there are no more suitable means than the ordinary operations and practices of the household to illustrate physical and chemical laws. Adopting the general trend of the recent syllabus of the Board of Education, though in no sense slavishly following its details, we have attempted to make students familiar with those broad principles of science without which the intelligent guidance of the domestic economy is impossible.
