His earliest known extended series of experiments were in chemistry and heat, specifically on arsenic and on specific and latent heats. This was around 1764,2 twelve years after he had left the university and four years after he had been elected to the Royal Society. His first publication came two years later, on the chemistry of air, when he was thirty-five; this was rather late for a scientific researcher to begin, but in this as in other ways he was not typical. Never in a hurry to bring his work before the world, he was concerned to perfect it before communicating it.

The life of Airy was essentially that of a hard-working, business man, and differed from that of other hard-working people only in the quality and variety of his work. It was not an exciting life, but it was full of interest, and his work brought him into close relations with many scientific men, and with many men high in the State.

  • Karl Jordan: a Life in Systematics
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kristin Renee Johnson for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of SciencePresented on July 21, 2003. Title: Karl Jordan: A Life in Systematics Abstract approved: Paul Lawrence Farber Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the modem evolutionary synthesis. These accounts, while useful, have primarily examined the natural history of the period in view of how it led to developments in the 193 Os and 40s, removing pre-Synthesis naturalists like Jordan from their research programs, institutional contexts, and disciplinary homes, for the sake of synthesis narratives. This dissertation redresses this picture by examining a naturalist, who, although often cited as important in the synthesis, is more accurately viewed as a man working on the problems of an earlier period. This study examines the specific problems that concerned Jordan, as well as the dynamic institutional, international, theoretical and methodological context of entomology and natural history during his lifetime. It focuses upon how the context in which natural history has been done changed greatly during Jordan's life time, and discusses the role of these changes in both placing naturalists on the defensive among an array of new disciplines and attitudes in science, and providing them with new tools and justifications for doing natural history. One of the primary intents of this study is to demonstrate the many different motives and conditions through which naturalists came to and worked in natural history.

Prose accounts of insect actions and mechanisms worked in tandem with visual Metamorphosis narratives embedded in the accompanying illustrations, where artists developed strategies for repre- senting sequences of minute changes over time.

EOA is open to host other open access initiatives similar in conception and spirit, in accordance with the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the sciences and humanities, which was launched by the Max Planck Society in 2003. By combining the advantages of traditional publications and the digital medium, the platform offers a new way of publishing research and of studying historical topics or current issues in relation to primary materials that are otherwise not easily available. The volumes are available both as printed books and as online open access publications. They are directed at scholars and students of various disciplines, and at a broader public interested in how science shapes our world.

Chapter 2 Beginnings 2.1 Introduction At the start of the twentieth century, organic chemistry was not yet 75 years old as a separate and legitimate sub-discipline of the science. Considerable progress had been made in these first seven decades, and the stage was set for the dramatic advances in the science to come in the following century. Most practicing organic chemists are familiar with many of the great German, French and English organic chemists whose work helped the fledgling discipline grow, but few are familiar with the role that Russian organic chemists of the nineteenth and early twentieth century played in the development of the science. And this is in spite of the fact that many of the named rules and reactions that one studies in the first course in organic chemistry are, in fact, of Russian origin. It is the intent of this book to help rectify that deficiency.

  • Pp.070 Obituaries
    70 Linda Legh (1918-2014) This fine hungarian-born folklorist has been said to have re-shaped the world’s understanding of marchen and legends, even as she left behind her a massive legacy of scholarly research in two parts of the world, the whole continent of Europe, and the North American continent, in her eighteen books, and more than two hundred articles. Her work was as both collector and interpreter of the tales of the people, with a particular emphasis on the lives of the performers as in their own native and appropriate contexts. Her life changed when, in 1964, she had accepted a professorship at Indiana University. Her Folktales and Society (1969) is an account of a post WWII study of peasant communities in Hungary, and the tales themselves were to be presented in her Hungarian Folktales: The Art of Zsuzanna Palko. The significance of her work is bound up with the way in which she noted the differences between the two mental climates, something leached out in the journal Indiana Folkore, a prestigious publication which she founded in 1968 and in which she sought to capture the spirit of legend, of the tension between belief and disbelief, and the highly dramatic elements in the story, or the rendition of the believed events and activities. Later she would bring together a number of her articles in the fine Legend and Belief: Dialectics of a Folklore Genre (2001). An excellent obituary of her is given in Folklore, volume 126, Number 1, April 2014, pp. 95-97. Edward Fletcher Cass (1937- 2014) There died in Manchester on 17th September, 2014, Dr Eddie Cass, the President of the Society for Folk Life Studies (2011 to 2014).
