Eighty-sixth Critical Bibliography of the History of Science and

Its Cultural Influences

(To 1 January 1961) The eighty-sixth Critical Bibliography is the

seventh to be organized and published under the new system of classification established in 1953. The most recently published Critical Bibliography was CB 85 (Isis, 1960, 51: 371- 484). The present Critical Bibliography includes about 2,000 citations; it is organized into four main sections, as follows:

A - History of Science: General References and Tools

B - Science: Its History from Special Points of View

C - Histories of the Special Sciences D - Chronological Classification.

Each of these main sections is subdivided, according to the scheme listed in the Table of Contents (pages 449-450, below).

The main purpose of the classification of the Critical Bibliography has always been "to satisfy the needs of historians of science in general, rather than those of historians of particular sciences," as was pointed out by Dr. George Sarton in the preface to the seventy- ninth Critical Bibliography, the last to be published by him. Thus a scholar interested in the publications that deal with, say, India will find works that deal with India in general or with any of the specific sciences in India under HS 35.1, and the student of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries will find both general sur- veys of that era and specific monographs on specialized subjects (such as the mathematical work of John Wallis, Harvey's studies on the circulation, or the founding of the Royal So- ciety of London) under HS 37.

The historian who wishes to find all the works devoted to the subject of chemistry, in all its possible historical aspects, will have to look under each relevant rubric; there are thus many more citations of books and articles deal-

ing with the history of chemistry than merely those to be found in the section devoted to the physical sciences under HS 22.

The aim in this Critical Bibliography is to place each citation in its most restricted posi- tion: in section D, the main chronological classification. Any work which cannot be fitted into that classification (including works that cover two or more of our periods) will be found in section C if it deals with a single science, or in section A if it deals with science in general.

Since no classification is perfect, the categories of this Critical Bibliography overlap, and all who use the Critical Bibliography are urged to examine all possible categories that might in any way be related to the subject of their primary concern. For instance, a study of microscopes might be listed in Section C under HS 24, Biological Sciences, or in HS 26, Medicine and the Medical Sciences, or in HS 22, Physical Sciences; studies of microscopes may also appear under any one of the subdivisions in Section D (Chronological Classification). The work of Harvey would be found under HS 37, Seventeenth Century, but the reader would have to look under both e, Biological Sciences, and g, Medicine.

As before, all citations have followed the style of the World List of Scientific Periodicals published in the years 1900-1950 (3rd edn., New York: Academic Press; London: But- terworths Scientific Publications, 1952). This method uses capital initial letters for nouns, and small initial letters for adjectives. In general, conjunctions, articles, and prepositions are omitted. Titles consisting of a single word are not abbreviated. The following list contains those periodicals examined systematically. An asterisk marks entries not included in the list most recently published (Isis, 1960, 51: 371-373).

Archive for History of Exact Sciences

Under the editorship of C. Truesdell, this journal made its first appearance in the fall of 1960. Published by Springer-Verlag in Ger- many, it comes out in numbers struck off as sufficient material reaches the press, with five numbers constituting a volume.

The purpose of the journal is to nourish "historical research meeting the standards of the mathematical sciences," and while it is "devoted mainly to mathematics and natural

philosophy, it also embraces experiment in the physical sciences."

Contributions to the Critical Bibliography continue to be welcome. When included, critical commentary will appear over the signature of the author.

MAGOUN, H. W.; LOUISE DARLING; MARY A. B. BRAZIER. Russian contributions to an understanding of the central nervous system and behavior-a pictorial survey. The central nervous system and behavior: Transaction of the First Confer- ence, Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation, New York, 1959, pp. 23-136. The First Macy Conference on The Central Nerv-

ous System and Behavior was held in February 1958 and featured an exceptionally informative exhibit arranged by Professor Magoun and his associates. This pictorial survey covers the development of science in Russia from the organization of an Academy of Sciences by Peter The Great (1672-1725). Early Russian science was greatly stimulated by aid from German and Swiss scientists, such as Christian von Wolf (1679-1754), Leonhard von Euler (1707-1783), Casper S. Wolff (1733-1794) and Carl Ernst von Baer (1792-1876).

Russian science stems from Mikhail V. Lomonosov (1711-1765), who founded the University of Moscow. Nikolai I. Lobachevsky (1792-1856) established Rus- sian mathematics on a high level, and Peter N. Lebedef (1866-1911) laid the foundations of the modern Russian school of physics with his studies on the earth's magnetic field. Russian chemistry was solidly developed by Dimitri I. Mendeleev (1834- 1907), while Russian physiology stems from Ivan M. Sechenov (1829-1905). Russian scientific medicine grew from the surgeon Nikolai I. Perogov (1810- 1881) and the internist Serge P. Botkin (1832-1889).

The exhibit includes much material on Ivan P. Pavlov (1849-1936) and his immediate predecessors, associates, and followers. This material is expanded by discussions which run from pages 137 to 240. This exhibit might well serve as a basis for a short handbook on the development of Russian science.

1945, has been revised and enlarged to bring the history of science forward to the present. In the words of the present editor (J. J. Schifferes): "The book now runs from antiquity through astronautics." In the process of enlarging the work only one selection from the first edition has been deleted-the passage from Cushing, and only one other has been shortened -the passage from Osler. H.W.

BOAZ, MARTHA (Editor). Modern trends in documentation: proceedings of a symposium held at the University of Southern California, April, 1958. 103 pp. New York: Pergamon Press, 1959. $5.00. Included in this small volume are ten papers and a

panel discussion of a three day symposium held "for the purpose of stimulating interest in information retrieval."

The participants discussed with brevity but without depth such related topics as: the nature of information retrieval, problems of locating information, systems, mechanical translation by automatic com- putors, language data processing, automatic encoding and finally data retrieval with microfilm, magnacard and minicard.

It cannot be suggested that this book presents any new information. In fact most of the ideas expressed have been previously presented in books and journals. The volume does make a contribution to the literature, however, because it presents in logical sequence a summary of the state of information retrieval. Be- cause there are few if any better summaries available the volume is a must purchase for those interested in the subject. Ken Allen

14. SOCIAL RELATIONS --15. HUMANISTIC RELATIONS

Science is the one great common ground of agreement among vastly differing cultures today, but it is knowledge of the development of science and methods of scientific thinking, not knowledge of specific scientific facts, that offers an opportunity for inter-cultural cohesion. Popularizers should make every effort to bring these aspects of science to the attention of the non-scientist, the non-intellectual.

BROWN, G. BURNISTON. Gravitational and inertial mass. Amer. J. Phys., 1960, 28: 475-483. Confusion has surrounded the definition of mass

almost from the day that Newton defined it. The author holds that Newton's use of the term mass is unexceptionable. It is, however, unfortunate that he allowed himself to speak of mass with the common meaning as well as with the special meaning he had given it. Recently the terms gravitational and inertial mass have been coming into greater use, but the confusion has increased rather than diminished. The author's theory of inertia, which is in quantitative agreement with experiment, helps to lessen the con- 'fusion, both old and new.

documented case for evolution as a process wide rather than narrow, multiple rather than single. Evolution, in the opinion of Dr. Rensch, can be explained on the basis of the well-known factors of speciation, without recourse to hypotheses of unknown evolutionary factors. From speciation, including mutation, selection, isolation, and differences in population size, comes an explanation of macroevolution and its trends, exces- sive development, harmonious organization, and evolutionary progress.

Russian, and French. Objects, manuscripts, pictures, building, and photographs, illustrate the development of medicine in Armenia from the pre-Christian era to the present. Trephined skulls and phallic symbols are illustrated from antiquity, together with old surgical instruments, sanitary bath plans, and objects of medical interest. The oldest manuscript illustrated is on the origin of humans by Gregorre Nissetzi (331- 394 A.D.). There are also fragments of Dioscorides as well as illustrations of medical manuscripts in Armenian. These run the gamut from anatomical figures through 15th century manuscripts of Galen, with other illustrated medical manuscripts, to an 18th century Armenian medical study, with a medical dictionary, published in 1793 by Petros Kalantarian (1735-?). The Armenian Academy of Sciences at Erevan maintains a section with exhibit material on the history of medicine in Armenia. Some 12 Arme- nian medical journals are now published. The Medi- cal Institute of Erevan was founded in 1922. In addition to Professor L. A. Ohanessian, other Ar- menian historians of medicine include E. Seidel (1850-1922), G. Haroutiunian (1894-1953), V. Tor- komian (1858-1942), K. Basmadjin (1864-1942), and currently, 0. Sepetchian, Kh. Melik-Parsadanian, and A. Ktsoyan. A short introduction by Professor Ohanessian precedes the pages of illustrations. C.D.L.

KAHN, C. H. Religion and Natural Philos- ophy in Empedocles' Doctrine of the Soul. Arch. Gesch. Phil., 1960, 32: 3-35. The importance of this article lies in Kahn's

attempt to reconcile the extant portions of Empedo- cles' two poems. He does this by showing that E's "religious" poem, Purifications, presupposes the cosmological doctrine of the four elements as well as a theory of panpsychism found in E's other poem, On Nature. At the root of his panpsychism lies E's central cosmological principle of Love (Philotis) which connects the two poems thematically. En passant Kahn observes that E. has often been misin- terpreted as a mystic or materialist because of the projection of 19th century science onto Greek thought. A case in point is the sharp separation, easy for us to make, between religion and science. But this dis- tinction was not made by the PreSocratics for the simple reason that a principle or logos, by virtue of its reputed universal explanatory power, included phenomena which today would be placed in separate categories. Hence, to demand strict consistency between the portions of E's poems is to look for the impossible. A good bibliography of the Empedokles- frage is included in K's article. J. Stannard

is based on Weil's and Shield's earlier lists. It contains 582 single or multiple items under the headings "Scientific Writings," "General Writings," and "Se- lected Interviews." Special features include a full index, and the reproduction of four photographic portraits and two autographs. This collection was "prepared originally for a Microprint Edition of the com- plete works of Albert Einstein."

Despite the care taken in compiling this list and Weil's cited above, both have a number of misprints and omissions. These do not overlap in most instances, and for this reason alone the serious scholar in this field should have access to both lists.

MERKULOV, W. L. Alexei Alexevich Ukhtomsky (1875-1942). 314 pp., 2 illus. Moscow: Academy of Sciences SSSR, 1960. This is a welcome addition to the growing list of

biographical appreciations of distinguished Russian scientists. The curator of the Pavlov Museum of the Institute of Experimental Medicine in Leningrad gives a detailed and well documented account of the life of Prince Ukhtomsky, who embraced the revolution and became a prominent Soviet physiologist. He was a pupil of N. Y. Wedensky (1852-1922), who demon- strated that increasing the frequency of excitation of a nerve leads to a depression of its activity (Wedensky inhibition). Ukhtomsky succeeded Wedensky in the Chair of Physiology at the University of St. Peters- burg and later at the University of Leningrad. In extension of Wedensky's concepts, Ukhtomsky developed the theory of dominance in respect to local functions in the central nervous system. Ukhtomsky's name is commemorated in the Ukhtomsky Institute of Physiology in Leningrad.

Merkulov gives interesting details in the career of Ukhtomsky, reproducing a rather wistful picture of Ukhtomsky as a cadet in 1894. Ukhtomsky's scientific career began as a result of the stimulus he received in the university. Merkulov gives a full bibliography of Ukhtomsky, totalling 68 items from 1903 to 1940.

He also gives a listing of items relating to Ukhtomsky in the Pavlov museum.

Many current Russian physiologists, in following the work of Wedensky and Ukhtomsky, refer to themselves as constituting the "Wedensky-Ukhtomsky School." C.D.L.

MC GEARY, M. NELSON. Gifford Pinchot, forester-politician. ix + 481 pp. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1960. $8.50. This, the first biography of Gifford Pinchot (1865-

1946), is focused, as its title indicates, upon the two spheres in which Pinchot was prominent: forestry and politics. Pinchot, according to Professor McGeary, was the first American to choose a career in forestry and was one of the "fathers" of both the profession and the practice of forestry in the United States. After studying forestry in Europe in 1889-1890, Pin- chot embarked upon a long career as leader in his chosen profession and in the field of conservation in general. Among the many positions in forestry which he held, the most important was that of head of the Division of Forestry (later, the United States Forest Service) in the Department of Agriculture of the United States government; he held this post from 1898 until his removal in 1910 by President Taft, due to the famous controversy which had developed between Pinchot and Secretary of the Interior Richard A. Ballinger.

Pinchot was an enthusiastic crusader-for "scientific" forestry, for conservation, for prohibition of the sale of alcoholic beverages, and for the regulation of public utilities. As crusader, he could be a difficult person with whom to work, even for individuals who were enlisted in the same causes. Theodore Roosevelt, Pinchot's life-long hero, may have been a trifle unfair in his evaluation of Pinchot, but the words Roosevelt wrote in 1911 seem to have come close to the mark: "Gifford Pinchot is a dear, but he is a fanatic, with an element of hardness and narrowness in his tem- perament."

Professor McGeary's biography is solidly based upon careful research, particularly in the voluminous Pinchot manuscripts. The book fills a gap which needed to be filled, and presents a competent and fair-minded description of a significant figure.

Index to the Eighty-sixth Critical Bibliography

This index contains all the personal names appearing in the Critical Bibliography, with the exception of reviewers; it includes authors, editors, translators and the subjects of works cited. Some names, especially those of persons living in the Middle Ages, may appear under several forms. We have tried to render the index more useful by listing names under their most common forms, with a preference for Anglicized forms over other vernaculars (e.g., Pliny rather than Plinio, or Pline; Euclid, rather than Euklid, Euclides, or Euclide). Readers are urged, however, to look under all the various generally used versions. We have tried to harmonize various systems of transliteration, but full reliance should not be placed on this. In general, Russian names are transliterated according to the Library of Congress system (with the omission of diacritical marks).

Bold-face page numbers indicate that a work about the person appears on that page; light- face numbers, a work written, edited or translated by him.

This index was prepared with the assistance of Miss Dorothy Stratton. CAROL B. HEWITT
