Book Description
Excerpt from Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley, Vol. 1 of 3: By His Son Leonard Huxley Accordingly, I have not discussed with any fulness the value of his technical contributions to natural science; I have not drawn up a compendium Of his philosophical views. One is a work for specialists the other can be gathered from his published works. I have endeavoured rather to give the public a picture, so far as I can, of the man himself, Of his aims in the many struggles in which he was engaged, of his character and temperament, and the circum stances under which his various works were begun and completed.

Book Description
Aged Botanist? marry come up! [Sir J. Hooker jestingly congratulated him on taking up botany in his old age.] I should like to know of a younger spark. The first time I heard myself called "the old gentleman" was years ago when we were in South Devon. A half-drunken Devonian had made himself very offensive, in the compartment in which my wife and I were travelling, and got some "simple Saxon" from me, accompanied, I doubt not, by an awful scowl "Ain't the old gentleman in a rage," says he.

Cholera 1832
Author: R. J. Morris
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000566595
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Originally published in 1976, this is the account of British society’s response to the threat of disease. It is the story of an administrative fight to exclude the disease by quarantine and to persuade commerce and working-class people to observe carefully thought-out regulations. The story of one of failure – of men hampered by lack of information, lack of resources and lack of a convincing scientific explanation. Medical science failed to see that infected water supplies were the major carriers of the epidemic and failed to acknowledge saline infusion (the basis of successful modern treatment) when it was presented to them by an obscure local surgeon in Leith. The social structure of the medical profession was as much a barrier to scientific advance as the technical limitations of statistical method and microscope. These reactions are explained in terms of the expectations and the understanding of those involved as well as in terms of modern medical knowledge and sociological theory.
