  • Sarah Anne Carter. Object Lessons

    Open AccessSally Gregory KohlstedtARTICLEThe American Historical Review2020

    While the phrase “object lesson” is now common parlance, its educational origin has remained largely invisible, as has its slide into everyday speech. Sarah Anne Carter’s Object Lessons: How Nineteenth-Century Americans Learned to Make Sense of the Material World explores both issues through the use of creatively researched primary sources and a wonderfully diverse set of over fifty illustrations. She traces the history of a highly versatile idea…

  • Frontiers of Science

    Natural knowledge” (“a catchall term that embraces science as well as other approaches to studying nature”) was a sought-after commodity in the multicultural exchanges taking place in the territories that Cameron B. Strang identifies as the Gulf South borderlands (now the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida), particularly from the mid-eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century (p. 8). Strang argues that the particular and…

  • Yellowstone and the Smithsonian

    Sally Gregory KohlstedtARTICLEThe Journal of Interdisciplinary…2017Referencias: 3

    This compact history focuses on the synergistic relationship between the National Museum of Natural History (of the Smithsonian Institution) and the Yellowstone National Park in their shared attention to vanishing wildlife in the American West at the end of the nineteenth century. Environmental historians have noted the role of both institutions, particularly the efforts of taxidermist William Hornaday, who created a small zoo at the Smithsonian,…

  • Marcel Chotkowski LaFollette. Science on American Television

    Sally Gregory KohlstedtARTICLEThe American Historical Review2014

    Following World War II, American optimism about the capacity of media technologies, especially television, produced high expectations for ways to better inform citizens about science. Television, however, proved expensive to produce and required scientific experts who were interested in and capable of working with producers and corporate sponsors. Some scientists volunteered to be popularizers and helped coordinate such early efforts as the John …

  • A Better Crop of Boys and Girls”

    Open AccessSally Gregory KohlstedtARTICLEHistory of Education Quarterly2008Citada por: 5Referencias: 8

    In the 1890s progressive educators like John Dewey proposed expansive ideas about integrating school and society. Working to make the boundaries between classroom learning and pupils' natural environment more permeable, for example, Dewey urged teachers to connect intellectual and practical elements within their curricula. Highly visible and widespread examples of this integrative goal were the school gardens that flourished from the 1890s well i…

  • Defining Women's Scientific Enterprise

    Sally Gregory KohlstedtARTICLEJournal of American History2006

    Miriam R. Levin's account of science at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, follows the curriculum from 1837 when the original seminary was founded by Mary Lyon to the appointment of the college's first male president in 1937. During this century science was a core element of Mount Holy-oke's academic program and was deeply embedded in its institutional identity. Attentive to Mount Holyoke's religious origins and its ongoing sen…

  • Nature, Not Books

    Sally Gregory KohlstedtARTICLEIsis2005Citada por: 13Referencias: 13

    Scientists played a key role in the first systematic introduction of nature study into North American public schools in the late nineteenth century. The initiatives of Wilbur Jackman and John Merle Coulter, affiliated with the young University of Chicago, and Liberty Hyde Bailey and Anna Botsford Comstock, at Cornell University, coincided with the "new education" reform movement that found object lessons and experience-based education superior to…

  • Thoughts in Things

    Sally Gregory KohlstedtARTICLEIsis2005Citada por: 4Referencias: 19

    Late nineteenth‐century public museums in the United States were intentionally built to be modern, guided by administrators like George Brown Goode toward scientific goals that included preservation, research, and education. Self‐consciously preoccupied with the management of museums, intent on attaining mastery over the objects that constituted their museums, and persuaded that meaning derived not just from the objects themselves but from their …

  • Sustaining Gains

    Sally Gregory KohlstedtARTICLENWSA Journal2004

    Historical participation by women in science and technology has been persistent but with inconsistent patterns because of the social, economic, and intellectual obstacles that have stood in their way. This account of women's initiatives and successes in 20th-century United States begins with early 20th-century involvement and suggests the subsequent ways in which the inroads of that period have influenced later struggles and strategies. Women of …

  • Biologists and the Promise of American Life

    Sally Gregory Kohlstedt, Philip J PaulyARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    Here, at last, is a book that skillfully narrates stories from the biological sciences in ways that demonstrate their connection to other aspects of American culture. Particularly attentive to the period from about 1850 to 1940, this study avoids making Darwinian evolution a dominant theme but concentrates instead on the institutional frameworks that were fundamental in establishing the study of the life sciences as “biology” and, for some, disti…

    TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 183 help from the state. Still, the notion that France was backward be­ cause it did not measure up to England remains a theme of historical writing even today. Geiger’s study makes no claim to a powerful new methodology or startling new insight into the technology ofcanals, but the book makes a large contribution. It reminds us that the canal fever of the 1820s was an international phenomenon, explaining how c…
