Book Description
Excerpt from Fresh-Water Rhizopods of North America Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for your approval and for publication, Volume XII of the Final Reports of the Survey under my direction. This volume has been prepared by Prof. Joseph Leidy, the eminent comparative anatomist and microscopist, who is well known as one of the most valued collaborators of the Survey, and the author of the first volume of the quarto series of Reports, entitled "Contributions to the Extinct Vertebrate Fauna of the Western Territories." Professor Leidy spent the greater portion of two seasons in the West under the auspices of the Survey. During this time he made a careful exploration of the country about Fort Bridger, Uinta Mountains, and the Salt Lake Basin, in search of the materials for this memoir. The use of the microscope in all branches of natural science has become so universal that the publication of the present volume in connection with the Survey needs no explanation. It is intended as a guide and aid to students in this new or little-known field of observation. The facility with which these small objects for study can be obtained all around us will render the work still more timely and useful to the students of this country. There are also a number of closely allied fields of inquiry, as the Diatoms, Desmids, Infusoria, Rotifera, Entomostraca, and Aquatic insects, etc., which, when pursued with the same skill and devotion, will prove equally fruitful in results. The Rhizopods are the lowest and simplest forms of animals, mostly minute, and requiring high power of the microscope to distinguish their structure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Adele Marion Fielde
Author: Leonard Warren
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134488149
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
Adele Marion Fielde, born in 1839, was a teacher, an evangelist, a social activist, scientist, lexicographer, writer and lecturer. As an American missionary in China, she became a local teacher and evangelist, struggling to reconcile her Baptist upbringing with her restless intellect. As an energetic social activist, she was a major figure in the suffragist movement, the abolition of the slave trade and the founding of two hospitals. As a scientist she conducted seminal research which is still discussed and studied today. This book provides an in-depth biographical study of the life of this remarkable woman, exploring her impact on her contemporary society, and her abiding influence on the scientific and academic communities to the present day. The author examines the social and religious constraints on Fielde's life and work and discusses her efforts to transcend these through the construction of a personal system of belief which emphasized the importance of helping others. He demonstrates how, as a woman of immense energy and intellectual ability, she was able to influence the scientific and political communities despite their prevailing negative attitude towards women. Adele Marion Fielde will be of vital interest to scholars concerned with the study of gender and the history of science.
