Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and the Culture of American Science

Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and the Culture of American Science

David N. Livingstone

The University of Alabama Press
2005
nidottu
Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and the Culture of American Science is the first book-length study of the man who served a Harvard’s Professor of Geology and Paleontology during the Darwinian era. Shaler was a student of Louis Agassiz and went on to a successful, multifaceted career as a geologist, geographer, educator, humanist, and poet. Livingstone employs a thematic approach to chart Shaler’s career against the broader intellectual currents of America’s Gilded Age. After tracing Shaler’s life story from his boyhood in Kentucky through his student years at Harvard, his service with the Geological Survey, and eventually his years as Dean of Harvard’s Lawrence Scientific School, the author examines Shaler’s evolutionary vision and portrays his strategic efforts to reconcile the nineteenth century’s scientific and religious world views.Livingstone assesses Shaler’s prolific writings, including those on race, which demonstrate a typical concern to provide a “scientific” perspective on the political questions of immigration restriction and eugenic control. IN addition, the book explores his efforts to interweave geography and history, particularly in relation to the American frontier; and his contributions to geology and geomorphology. The portrait of Shaler is completed with a review of his educational thinking and his role in establishing the American Summer School and in furthering scientific and technological education.Nathaniel Southgate Shaler emerges from Livingstone’s work as a distinctive figure in the development of the new scientific culture, a figure who provides a focal point for assessing the impact of evolutionary naturalism on late-nineteenth-century American thought.

HawthorneAEs departure for Europe marked a turning point in his life. While Our Old Home, shrewd essays on his observations in England, The Marble Faun, a romance set in Italy, and the English Notebooks and French and Italian Notebooks were all results of his European residence, he returned to Concord in 1860 frustrated, depressed, and sick.

This monograph is the first comprehensive survey of Nathaniel Mary Quinn s work, featuring paintings made over the last decade, beginning in 2013. Quinn combines bodily fragments derived from multiple sources both personal and found in the mass media. Working without preliminary sketches, he forms composite images of faces and figures that resemble collages but are in fact painted and drawn. Developed with oil paint, charcoal, gouache, oil stick, and pastel, these works address the hybridity of perception and identity. The book includes over 125 color plates illustrating Quinn s paintings, along with studio photographs that offer insights into his process. It begins with an introduction by Larry Gagosian, followed by an essay by Andrew Winer discussing Quinn s work in terms of representation, abstraction, and memory. The volume also features a conversation between the artist and Sarah Elizabeth Lewis that offers firsthand insights into his practice, as well as an essay by Dawn Ades contextualizing Quinn s work in relation to modern and contemporary collage, painting, and portraiture.
