The Geographical Distribution of Animals (Vol1&2) - With a Study of the Relations of Living and Extinct Faunas as Elucidating the Past Changes of the Earth's Surface

Alfred Russel Wallace

Sinopsis

In his seminal work, "The Geographical Distribution of Animals" (Vol. 1 & 2), Alfred Russel Wallace offers a meticulous examination of the factors influencing the distribution of animal species across the globe. His comprehensive analysis is grounded in biogeography and draws upon an extensive collection of field observations, emphasizing the interplay between environment, geography, and zoological distribution. Wallace'Äôs literary style is precise and informative, indicative of the Victorian scientific discourse, and imbued with a vivid prose that reflects his passion for natural history. This work not only elucidates the patterns of species distribution but also challenges the prevailing notions of the time, laying the foundations for modern biogeographical studies. Alfred Russel Wallace, a contemporary of Charles Darwin, emerged as a pioneering naturalist whose explorations in the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago shaped his understanding of evolution and adaptation. His scientific inquiries were fueled by a profound curiosity about the natural world and a determination to understand the mechanisms of diversity. Wallace's theory of natural selection, co-developed with Darwin, amplifies the intellectual context in which this book was conceived, underscoring his significance in the history of evolutionary biology. This work is essential for scholars and enthusiasts of natural history, ecology, and evolution, as it provides an in-depth understanding of species distribution from a historical perspective. Wallace'Äôs insights remain profoundly relevant, making this dual volume an invaluable addition to any serious library on biological sciences. The meticulous detail and innovative thinking presented in these volumes will undoubtedly inspire readers to further explore the intricate tapestry of life on Earth.

Subjected to Science - Human...

Susan E. Lederer

The first full-length history of biomedical research with human subjects in the period "before Tuskegee"—from 1890 to 1940 
 
 
 
Long before the U.S. government began conducting secret radiation and germ-warfare experiments, and long before the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, medical professionals had introduced—and hotly debated the ethics of—the use of human subjects in medical experiments. In Subjected to Science, Susan Lederer provides the first full-length history of biomedical research with human subjects in the earlier period, from 1890 to 1940. 
 
 
 
Lederer offers detailed accounts of experiments—benign and otherwise—conducted on both healthy and unhealthy men, women, and children, including the yellow fever experiments (which ultimately became the subject of a Broadway play and Hollywood film), Udo Wile's "dental drill" experiments on insane patients, and Hideyo Noguchi's syphilis experiments, which involved injecting a number of healthy children and adults with the syphilis germ, luetin.
