Global Spencerism: The Communication and Appropriation of a British Evolutionist
ISBN: 9789004263994 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Today the name most closely associated with evolutionary theory is Charles Darwin. Given Darwin's immense reputation it is easy to forget that Herbert Spencer, in his time, was just as famous as Darwin. It turns out that Spencer's evolutionary thought was not what necessarily appealed to many of his readers, since they had their own sense of his identity and importance. By focusing on Spencer the evolutionist, scholars have tended to concentrate their attention on a rather narrow view of him that has come out of Anglo-American appropriations of his thought. Spencer was one of the first...

Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain: The 'Darwinians' and Their Critics
ISBN: 9780754659877 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Scholars have tended to portray T.H. Huxley, John Tyndall, and their allies as the dominant cultural authority in the second half of the 19th century. Defenders of Darwin and his theory of evolution, these men of science are often seen as a potent force for the secularization of British intellectual and social life. In this collection of essays Bernard Lightman argues that historians have exaggerated the power of scientific naturalism to undermine the role of religion in middle and late-Victorian Britain. The essays deal with the evolutionary naturalists, especially the biologist Thomas Henry...

Victorian Popularizers of Science: Designing Nature for New Audiences
ISBN: 9780226481197 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 568 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The ideas of Charles Darwin and his fellow Victorian scientists have had an abiding effect on the modern world. But at the time "The Origin of Species "was published in 1859, the British public looked not to practicing scientists but to a growing group of professional writers and journalists to interpret the larger meaning of scientific theories in terms they could understand and in ways they could appreciate. "Victorian Popularizers of Science" focuses on this important group of men and women who wrote about science for a general audience in the second half of the nineteenth century....

Rethinking History, Science, and Religion: An Exploration of Conflict and the Complexity Principle
ISBN: 9780822945741 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The historical interface between science and religion was depicted as an unbridgeable conflict in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Starting in the 1970s, such a conception was too simplistic and not at all accurate when considering the totality of that relationship. This volume evaluates the utility of the “complexity principle” in past, present, and future scholarship. First put forward by historian John Brooke over twenty-five years ago, the complexity principle rejects the idea of a single thesis of conflict or harmony, or integration or separation, between science and...

Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century British Scientists
ISBN: 9781855069992 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 2000 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During the 19th century there was no clear boundary line between those who were considered to be part of the scientific community and those who were seen as outsiders. It was during this century that the categories of "professional scientist", "amateur" and "popularizer of science" were being debated and constructed. As a result, in recent times scholars of the period have explored the important roles of neglected amateurs, women and members of the working class. Scholars in the field are continually broadening their definition of the terms "science" and "scientist". This dictionary contains...

Victorian Science in Context
ISBN: 9780226481128 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Victorians were fascinated by the flood of strange new worlds that science was opening to them. Exotic plants and animals poured into London from all corners of the Empire, while revolutionary theories such as the radical idea that humans might be descended from apes drew crowds to heated debates. Men and women of all social classes avidly collected scientific specimens for display in their homes and devoured literature about science and its practitioners. Victorian Science in Context captures the essence of this fascination, charting the many ways in which science influenced and...

ISBN: 9780226109503 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Victorian Scientific Naturalism" examines the secular creeds of the generation of intellectuals who, in the wake of "The Origin of Species," wrested cultural authority from the old Anglican establishment while installing themselves as a new professional scientific elite. These scientific naturalistsled by biologists, physicists, and mathematicians such as William Kingdon Clifford, Joseph Dalton Hooker, Thomas Henry Huxley, and John Tyndallsought to persuade both the state and the public that scientists, not theologians, should be granted cultural authority, since their expertise gave them...

Science Museums in Transition: Cultures of Display in Nineteenth-Century Britain and America
ISBN: 9780822944751 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The nineteenth century witnessed a dramatic shift in the display and dissemination of natural knowledge across Britain and America, from private collections of miscellaneous artifacts and objects to public exhibitions and state-sponsored museums. The science museum as we know it--an institution of expert knowledge built to inform a lay public--was still very much in formation during this dynamic period. Science Museums in Transition provides a nuanced, comparative study of the diverse places and spaces in which science was displayed at a time when science and spectacle were still...

Identity in a Secular Age: Science, Religion, and Public Perception
ISBN: 9780822946281 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although historians have suggested for some time that we move away from the assumption of a necessary clash between science and religion, the conflict narrative persists in contemporary discourse. But why? And how do we really know what people actually think about evolutionary science, let alone the many and varied ways in which it might relate to individual belief? In this multidisciplinary volume, experts in history and philosophy of science, oral history, sociology of religion, social psychology, and science communication and public engagement look beyond two warring systems of thought....
