The New Science of Geology: Studies in the Earth Sciences in the Age of Revolution
ISBN: 9781138382503 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The science of geology was constructed in the decades around 1800 from earlier practices that had been significantly different in their cognitive goals. In the studies collected here Martin Rudwick traces how it came to be recognised as a new kind of natural science, because it was constituted around the idea that the natural world had its own history. The earth had to be understood not only in relation to unchanging natural laws that could be observed in action in the present, but also in terms of a pre-human past that could be reliably known, even if not directly observable and its traces...

The Meaning of Fossils: Episodes in the History of Palaeontology
ISBN: 9780226731032 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) "It is not often that a work can literally rewrite a person's view of a subject. And this is exactly what Rudwick's book should do for many paleontologists' view of the history of their own field." Stephen J. Gould, "Paleobotany and Palynology"
"Rudwick has not merely written the first book-length history of palaeontology in the English language; he has written a very intelligent one. . . . His accounts of sources are rounded and organic: he treats the structure of arguments as Cuvier handled fossil bones." Roy S. Porter, "History of Science"" "It is not often that a work can literally rewrite a person's view of a subject. And this is exactly what Rudwick's book should do for many paleontolo...

Bursting the Limits of Time : The Reconstruction of Geohistory in the Age of Revolution
ISBN: 9780226731131 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 732 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) During a revolution of discovery in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, geologists reconstructed the immensely long history of the earth--and the relatively recent arrival of human life. Bursting the Limits of Time is a herculean effort by one of the world's foremost experts on the history of geology and paleontology to illuminate this scientific breakthrough that radically altered existing perceptions of a human's place in the universe as much as the theories of Copernicus and Darwin did. Rudwick examines here the ideas and practices of earth scientists...During a revolution of discovery in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, geologists reconstructed the immensely long history of the ... |

Earth's Deep History: How It Was Discovered and Why It Matters
ISBN: 9780226421971 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Earth has been witness to mammoths and dinosaurs, global ice ages, continents colliding or splitting apart, and comets and asteroids crashing catastrophically to the surface, as well as the birth of humans who are curious to understand it. But how was all this discovered? How was the evidence for it collected and interpreted? And what kinds of people have sought to reconstruct this past that no human witnessed or recorded? In this sweeping and accessible book, Martin J. S. Rudwick, the premier historian of the Earth sciences, tells the gripping human story of the gradual realization that the...

The Great Devonian Controversy : The Shaping of Scientific Knowledge among Gentlemanly Specialists
ISBN: 9780226731025 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 538 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) "Arguably the best work to date in the history of geology."-David R. Oldroyd, Science "After a superficial first glance, most readers of good will and broad knowledge might dismiss this book] as being too much about too little. They would be making one of the biggest mistakes in their intellectual lives. . . . It] could become one of our century's key documents in understanding science and its history."-Stephen Jay Gould, New York Review of Books "Surely one of the most important studies in the history of science of recent years, and arguably the best work to date in...

Georges Cuvier, Fossil Bones, and Geological Catastrophes: New Translations and Interpretations of the Primary Texts
ISBN: 9780226731070 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) French zoologist Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) helped form and bring credibility to geology and paleontology. Here Martin J. S. Rudwick provides the first modern translation of Cuvier's essential writings on fossils and catastrophes and links these translated texts together with his own insightful narrative and interpretive commentary. "Martin Rudwick has done English-speaking science a considerable service by translating and commenting on Cuvier's work. . . . He guides us through Cuvier's most important writings, especially those which demonstrate his new technique of comparative...

Worlds Before Adam: The Reconstruction of Geohistory in the Age of Reform
ISBN: 9780226731292 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 648 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, scientists reconstructed the immensely long history of the earth and the relatively recent arrival of human life. The geologists of the period, many of whom were devout believers, agreed about this vast timescale. But despite this apparent harmony between geology and Genesis, these scientists still debated a great many questions: Had the earth cooled from its origin as a fiery ball in space, or had it always been the same kind of place as it is now? Was prehuman life marked by mass extinctions, or had fauna and flora changed slowly over...

Lyell and Darwin, Geologists: Studies in the Earth Sciences in the Age of Reform
ISBN: 9780860789598 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The studies in this second volume by Martin Rudwick (the first being The New Science of Geology: Studies in the Earth Science in the Age of Reform) focus on the figures of Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin. Lyell rose to be of pivotal importance in the second quarter of the 19th century because he challenged other geologists throughout Europe by probing their methods and conclusions to the limit. While adopting their goal of reconstructing the contingent history of the earth, he claimed that the physical processes observable in action in the present could explain far more about the past than...

Scenes from Deep Time: Early Pictorial Representations of the Prehistoric World
ISBN: 9780226731056 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) How did the earth look in prehistoric times? Scientists and artists collaborated during the half-century prior to the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species to produce the first images of dinosaurs and the world they inhabited. Their interpretations, informed by recent fossil discoveries, were the first efforts to represent the prehistoric world based on sources other than the Bible. Martin J. S. Rudwick presents more than a hundred rare illustrations from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to explore the implications of reconstructing a past no one has ever seen.

Principles of Geology, Volume 3
ISBN: 9780226497990 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 602 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) As important to modern world views as any work of Darwin, Marx, or Freud, Lyell's" Principles of Geology "has never before been available in paperback. In this third and final volume, Charles Lyell (1797-1875) devotes much attention to the "syntax of geology," that is, to a way of reconstructing the geological past on the basis of the "grammar" of the present processes he has described in the earlier volumes. He defines four periods of the Tertiary Newer Pliocene, Older Pliocene, Miocene, and Eocene and argues that the deposits dating from each period demonstrate the uniformity of processes...

Principles of Geology, Volume 1
ISBN: 9780226497945 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) As important to modern world views as any work of Darwin, Marx, or Freud, Principles of Geology is a landmark in the history of science. In this first of three volumes, Charles Lyell (1797-1875) sets forth his powerful uniformitarian argument: processes now visibly acting in the natural world are essentially the same as those that have acted throughout the history of the earth, and are sufficient to account for all geological phenomena. Martin J. S. Rudwick's new Introduction, summarizing the origins of the Principles, guides the reader through the structure of the entire...

Studies on Eighteenth-Century Geology
ISBN: 9781409429593 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In a scholarly career spanning five decades, Rhoda Rappaport published perceptive analyses of science in the culture of early Modern Europe, France in particular, with strong emphasis on geology's early development. Of the sixteen papers in this volume, most focus on aspects of geology's cultivation during the 'long' 18th century, from the times of Hooke, Leibniz, and Fontenelle to those of Lavoisier, Werner, and Cuvier. Among the topics most closely treated here are the French mineralogical mapping project initiated by Guettard; contemporary efforts to interpret the earth historically (such...
