Описание: Fritz M?ller (1821-1897), though not as well known as his colleague Charles Darwin, belongs in the cohort of great nineteenth-century naturalists. Recovering M?ller's legacy, David A. West describes the close intellectual kinship between M?ller and Darwin and details a lively correspondence that spanned seventeen years. The two scientists, despite living on separate continents, often discussed new research topics and exchanged groundbreaking ideas that unequivocally moved the field of evolutionary biology forward.M?ller was unique among naturalists testing Darwin's theory of natural selection because he investigated an enormous diversity of plants and animals, corresponded with prominent scientists, and published important articles in Germany, England, the United States, and Brazil. Darwin frequently praised M?ller's powers of observation and interpretation, counting him among those scientists whose opinions he valued most.Despite the importance and scope of his work, however, M?ller is known for relatively few of his discoveries. West remedies this oversight, chronicling the life and work of this remarkable and overlooked man of science.

Описание: Charles Darwin’s discovery of evolution by natural selection was the greatest scientific discovery of all time. The publication of his 1859 book, On the Origin of Species, is normally taken as the point at which evolution erupted as an idea, radically altering how the Victorians saw themselves and others. This book tells a very different story. Darwin's discovery was part of a long process of negotiation between imagination, faith and knowledge which began long before 1859 and which continues to this day. Evolution and the Victorians provides historians with a survey of the thinkers and debates implicated in this process, from the late 18th century to the First World War. It sets the history of science in its social and cultural context. Incorporating text-boxes, illustrations and a glossary of specialist terms, it provides students with the background narrative and core concepts necessary to engage with specialist historians such as Adrian Desmond, Bernard Lightman and James Secord. Conlin skilfully synthesises material from a range of sources to show the ways in which the discovery of evolution was a collaborative enterprise pursued in all areas of Victorian society, including many that do not at first appear "scientific".

Описание: The Darwin family was instrumental in the history of botany. Their experiences illustrate the growing specialization and professionalization of science in the nineteenth century. The author shows how botany escaped the burdens of medicine, feminization and the sterility of classification and nomenclature to become a rigorous laboratory science.

There are two worldviews about the source of life's diversity. Creation implies a Creator as the intelligent cause, and evolution purports a material cause. So how can we resolve this complex issue?
In a thought-provoking discourse on the reconciliation of the controversy between evolution and Creation, Dr. Ernest Brannon, retired biology professor and director of the Sciphre Institute, presents both sides of the issue to provide a fair assessment for those challenged by life's origin and diversity. Within his treatise, Dr. Brannon summarizes information on the two worldviews about the diversity of life in order to demonstrate where there is common ground and to differentiate between the evidence and speculation between certainty and assumption. He also addresses reformation of the two worldviews, examines the scientific credibility of the Genesis account of Creation, and concludes with the essence of resolution.
Darwin's Resolution: Evolution or Creation is an engaging treatise committed to reconciling the concept of evolution with faith in God through a comprehensive examination of scientific evidence.

Автор: Frith Clifford B. Название: Charles Darwin`s Life with Birds: His Complete Ornithology ISBN: 0190240237 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780190240233 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 92930.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Much of Charles Darwin's groundbreaking work as an evolutionary biologist stemmed from his study of birds. It is universally acknowledged that Darwin's observation of bird groups and species like the Galapagos finches, mockingbirds, and rock doves was critical to the development of his theories on natural selection, evolution, and sexual selection. The significant number of diverse birds that Darwin covered in his published works represents a most substantial ornithological contribution. His major books alone contain reference to and consideration of almost 500 bird species, as well as interesting and pertinent discussion of over 100 ornithological topics. "Charles Darwin's Birds" is a comprehensive treatment of Darwin's work as an ornithologist. Clifford Frith discusses every ornithological topic and bird species that Darwin researched, providing a complete historical survey of his published writing on birds. Through this, we learn how Darwin became an increasingly skilled and eventually exceptional ornithologist, and how his relationships grew with contemporary scientists like John Gould. It examines how Darwin was influenced by birds, and how the major themes of his research developed through his study of them. The book also features 4 appendices, which contain brief accounts of every bird species Darwin wrote about, basic ornithological information about each of the species, and a listing of where the species appears in Darwin's work.
