  • The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: an International Perspective
    The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: An International Perspective Peter Morris Abstract: How has chemistry been presented at the Science Museum, London, during the 20 th century? After an overview of the history of the Science Muse- um and its chemistry galleries, four galleries are considered in depth (1906, 1926, 1977, and 1999). The importance of the curators’ external constituency of chemists and chemical educators is emphasized. The image of chemistry at the Science Museum has concentrated on the general utility of chemistry and chemistry as a skilful craft. The presentation has been low-key rather than boosterist. A comparison is made with the chemistry galleries at the Deutsches Museum. Chemistry in the Deutsches Museum has put more emphasis on hands-on exhibits and the chemical industry. Science and technology museums have promoted chemistry in a quiet but successful way for many years, but their influence may have waned along with chemistry kits. Keywords : presentation of chemistry in museums, chemistry collections, chemistry galleries, Science Museum, Deutsches Museum . 1. Introduction Before we examine the image of chemistry that has been presented by the Science Museum during the 20th century, it is worth asking if science and technology museums have any influence on the public’s perception of chem- istry. While the impact of museums is inevitably less than, say, the mass me- dia, they do attract large audiences: the Science Museum had 1.2 million visi- tors in the 1930s, a peak of 4.2 million visitors in 1980 and 2.6 million visitors in 2004.

MRS JUSTICE ASPLIN MRS JUSTICE ASPLIN Clutterbuck & anr v Al Amoudi Approved Judgment (REDACTED) Mrs Justice Asplin: 1. The Claimants’ claim is for fraudulent misrepresentation, deceit and breach of trust. These claims arise out of various property dealings in and around Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Chelsea and Westminster, London, (the Area). 2. The First Claimant, Ms Clutterbuck has since 1985 been engaged in the business of acquiring, refurbishing, letting and selling and financing the development of properties in the Area. The Second Claimant, Mr Paton assists Ms Clutterbuck in her business by finding opportunities to acquire, refurbish, let, sell and redevelop properties. 3. But for the period during which it is alleged that unbeknownst to Ms Clutterbuck, Mr Paton and the Defendant were having an affair, it is not disputed that since about 1994 the Claimants have lived as man and wife.

  • Benjamin Franklin People Mentioned in Walden
    PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN BENJAMIN “VERSE-MAKERS WERE GENERALLY BEGGARS” FRANKLIN1 Son of so-and-so and so-and-so, this so-and-so helped us to gain our independence, instructed us in economy, and drew down lightning from the clouds. “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY 1. Franklin was distantly related to Friend Lucretia Mott, as was John Greenleaf Whittier, Henry Adams, and Octavius Brooks Frothingham. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF WALDEN: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN WALDEN: In most books, the I, or first person, is omitted; in this PEOPLE OF it will be retained; that, in respect to egotism, is the main WALDEN difference. We commonly do not remember that it is, after all, always the first person that is speaking. I should not talk so much about myself if there were any body else whom I knew as well. Unfortunately, I am confined to this theme by the narrowness of my experience. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN WALDEN: But all this is very selfish, I have heard some of my PEOPLE OF townsmen say. I confess that I have hitherto indulged very little WALDEN in philanthropic enterprises. I have made some sacrifices to a sense of duty, and among others have sacrificed this pleasure also. There are those who have used all their arts to persuade me to undertake the support of some poor family in town; and if I had nothing to do, –for the devil finds employment for the idle,– I might try my hand at some such pastime as that.

Inventory of Gran Canaria fossil bryozoans in the Busk Collection known or believed to have come from the Charles Lyell Collection 1. Introduction Charles Lyell (1797–1875) was the leading geologist of his day.1 His work proved enormously influential to natural historians seeking to understand both the physical processes involved in the formation of geological structures, and the nature of the fossil record. The key concept of uniformitarianism – ‘the present is the key to the past’ – owes more to Lyell than to any other geologist. Among numerous other notable achievements, he was responsible for the subdivision of the Tertiary into Epochs that could be recognized largely from the proportions of extinct vs. extant species they contained. It is well known that Charles Darwin carried with him on the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle a copy of Volume 1 of Lyell’s Principles of Geology (Lyell 1830). This seminal book allowed Darwin to interpret the geology he saw in terms of gradual physical processes that have shaped the earth over the immensity of geological time; indeed, time sufficient to accommodate Darwin’s emerging belief that the diversity of life developed by the slow transmutation of species from a common ancestor, i.e.

  • The Legacy of Henri Victor Regnault in the Arts and Sciences
    International Journal of Arts & Sciences, CD-ROM. ISSN: 1944-6934 :: 4(13):377–400 (2011) Copyright c 2011 by InternationalJournal.org THE LEGACY OF HENRI VICTOR REGNAULT IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCES Sébastien Poncet Laboratoire M2P2, France Laurie Dahlberg Bard College Annandale, USA The 21 st of July 2010 marked the bicentennial of the birth of Henri Victor Regnault, a famous French chemist and physicist and a pioneer of paper photography. During his lifetime, he received many honours and distinctions for his invaluable scientific contributions, especially to experimental thermodynamics. Colleague of the celebrated chemist Louis-Joseph Gay- Lussac (1778-1850) at the École des Mines and mentor of William Thomson (1824-1907) at the École Polytechnique, he is nowadays conspicuously absent from all the textbooks and reviews (Hertz, 2004) dealing with thermodynamics. This paper is thus the opportunity to recall his major contributions to the field of experimental thermodynamics but also to the nascent field, in those days, of organic chemistry. Avid amateur of photography, he devoted more than twenty years of his life to his second passion. Having initially taken up photography in the 1840s as a potential tool for scientific research, he ultimately made many more photographs for artistic and self-expressive purposes than scientific ones. He was a founding member of the Société Héliographique in 1851 and of the Société Française de Photographie in 1854. Like his scientific work, his photography was quickly forgotten upon his death, but has begun to attract new respect and recognition. Keywords: Henri Victor Regnault, Organic chemistry, Thermodynamics, Paper photography. INTRODUCTION Henri Victor Regnault (1810–1878) (see Figures 1a & 1b) was undoubtedly one of the great figures of thermodynamics of all time.
