متن کاملXC. THE FAT OF THE GREEN TURTLE By THOMAS GEORGE GREEN AND THOMAS PERCY
THE green turtle (Chelone mydas Linn.) is fairly widely distributed in many parts of the tropics, especially perhaps in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

They are however occasionally car...

His point in doing so was to test whether the field of “cultural studies of science” was seriously lacking in “intellectual standards”. His article is nonsense from start to...

متن کاملDavid Rittenhouse: Modern Mathematician
O n the surface it seems implausible that a colonial scientist could be characterized as a mathematician by today’s standards. Yet the single aim of this note is to provide evidence that two of David Rittenhouse’s papers from 220 years ago qualify him as a modern analyst. Rittenhouse (1732–1796) had no formal education and never earned a degree. Except for a brief appointment as professor of as...
