  • Reading the Reception of Ellen Churchill Semple's Influences Of
    Reading the reception of Ellen Churchill Semple’s Influences of geographic environment (1911) Innes M. Keighren Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2007 Abstract This is a thesis in the historical geography of textual reception and meaning. Its focus is Influences of geographic environment (1911), by American geographer Ellen Churchill Semple (1861–1932). Semple’s book, a treatise on environmentalism, coincided with the emergence of geography in North America and Britain as an independent academic discipline, and it exerted an important but varied influence on generations of geographers. For those who considered it a monument to Semple’s scholarship and erudition, it was a timely manifesto for a scientific approach to geographical research. For others, Influences was conceptually flawed—a text which might damage geography’s emergent academic legitimacy and disciplinary credibility. Accepted by some, repudiated by others, Influences was lauded and criticized in almost equal measure. By attention to archival records, personal correspondence, published reviews, provenance, and marginalia—the material traces of its reading—the thesis examines the different reactions to Influences , and shows that it is possible to trace a geography of the book’s reception: to identify why it was encountered differently by different people, at different times and in different places. Informed by work in literary theory, book history, and the history of science, this thesis outlines the contribution that geography, or a geographical sensibility, can make to understanding the way knowledge and ideas in the guise of the printed text are conceived, transmitted, and received. By exploring the particular characteristics of Influences ’ diffusion, the thesis offers a broader perspective on the different means by which scientific knowledge circulates; how its credibility is assessed; and how judgements as to its acceptance or rejection are made.

  • Whither Climatology? Brückner’S Climate Oscillations, Data Debates, and Dynamic Climatology
    History of Meteorology 7 (2015) 49 Whither Climatology? Brückner’s Climate Oscillations, Data Debates, and Dynamic Climatology Philipp N. Lehmann [email protected] Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin In 1890 Eduard Brückner published his major climatological work with the wordy title Climate Oscillations Since 1700, With Remarks About Climate Oscillations Since the Diluvial Epoch.1 The book brought a new impetus to the ongoing debate about climatic changes and variability, which had been a major point of contention in the climatological community throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. Brückner’s postulation of periodic and global 35-year climatic cycles made a large and lasting impact. Among many others, Svante Arrhenius discussed the findings; and more than half a century later, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie used Brückner’s data collection as important material for his own work in climate history.2 The research and writing of the book, however, had not been an easy task for Brückner. In the foreword, he professed that the completion of the work “had been forced to be delayed again and again.”3 Even a cursory reading of Climate Oscillations suffices to reveal the likely cause for the difficulties: in order to bolster his claims of persistent universal climatic cycles, Brückner had to cover large evidentiary ground. On the basis of information on glacial 1 Eduard Brückner, Klimaschwankungen seit 1700, nebst Bemerkungen über die Klimaschwankungen der Diluvialzeit, Geographische Abhandlungen 4 (Vienna: Ed.
