The Atom in the History of Human Thought

By: Bernard Pullman

The concept of the atom is very close to scientific bedrock, the deepest and most fundamental fact about the nature of reality. This book presents the whole panorama of the atomic hypothesis, and its place in Western civilization, from its origins in early Greek philosophy 2500 years ago to the definitive proof through direct microscopic imaging of since atoms, about ten years ago.

Victorian Culture and the Origin of Disciplines

Victorian Culture and the Origin of Disciplines

By: Bernard Lightman,Bennett Zon

Current studies in disciplinarity range widely across philosophical and literary contexts, producing heated debate and entrenched divergences. Yet, despite their manifest significance for us today seldom have those studies engaged with the Victorian origins of modern disciplinarity. Victorian Culture and the Origin of Disciplines adds a crucial missing link in that history by asking and answering a series of deceptively simple questions: how did Victorians define a discipline; what factors impinged upon that definition; and how did they respond to disciplinary understanding? Structured around sections on professionalization, university curriculums, society journals, literary genres and interdisciplinarity, Victorian Culture and the Origin of Disciplines addresses the tangled bank of disciplinarity in the arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences including musicology, dance, literature, and art history; classics, history, archaeology, and theology; anthropology, psychology; and biology, mathematics and physics. Chapters examine the generative forces driving disciplinary formation, and gauge its success or failure against social, cultural, political, and economic environmental pressures. No other volume has focused specifically on the origin of Victorian disciplines in order to track the birth, death, and growth of the units into which knowledge was divided in this period, and no other volume has placed such a wide array of Victorian disciplines in their cultural context.

Critics of Empire

British Radicals and the Imperial Challenge

By: Bernard Porter

The notion of 'empire' has been at the forefront of world politics for over a century. Bernard Porter's landmark work traces the critical response to the British imperial project in the years leading up to World War I. Imperial adventures, including the intervention in Egypt and the Anglo-Boer War, together with the jingoistic clamour that surrounded them, attracted powerful hostility as well as support. "Criticism of Empire" is the subject of Porter's stimulating book. Long regarded as the classic account, the author has now added a substantial new Introduction. He demonstrates the power and influence of major critics such as J.A. Hobson - the acknowledged creator of the 'capitalist theory' of imperialism - E.D. Morel and Mary Kingsley and of organisations like the Congo Reform Association. With themes which are also highly relevant to the present day discourse on the American 'empire', this book will prove essential reading for all students of imperial and international history.

My Encounter With Ordinary Women Who Led Extraordinary Lives

As Torchbearers of Culture, Way Showers of Self-Determination and Freedom

By: Bernard W. Saunders

I have known-been blessed to have known many wondrous women in my life-women of color- ordinary women by most standards-born to humble circumstances-who achieved extraordinary things given the obstacles of race, gender, class, and male chauvinism they faced as women of color in an often hostile society. Those written of here are generally of the same age group, and although of different backgrounds, the similarities in their heritage binds them together. Their longevity was in itself, a testimony to their will. I would also argue that their struggles to make ends meet, and the contributions of the men (for good or bad) in their lives, are analogous to most people I have known in my lifetime. History supports, that these women, are also representative of people of color since they first made contact with persons of European descent. As individuals and as a people still under duress, from within and without, we need to take to heart the gift these women have given us by their willingness to open up, to share their lives with us so that we may learn from them, as they have learned from others who came before them.

Kraken and The Colossal Octopus

Kraken and The Colossal Octopus

By: Bernard Heuvelmans

First published in 2003. From Part One: ‘Our ignorance of the marine world is much greater still. It is such that I do not hesitate to claim that, in the ocean, everything is still possible! Faced with the immensity of Neptune's realm, a certain degree of gullibility is preferable to blind incredulity. If it was claimed tomorrow that a real mermaid had been captured – not just an ugly manatee, but a creature boasting Marilyn Monroe's bust and the tail of a coelacanth - the attitude of the zoologist who wished to see it would be much more scientifically justifiable that that of his colleague who would merely shrug the news away. The sea covers more than three fifths of the surface of the globe, but our ships cross it only along rather narrow and fixed paths.’ This book looks at the science behind the stories.
