Doodlebugs and Dowsers: A History of Unusual Ways to Search for Oil. By Dan Plazak
Comstock Capitalism: The Law, the Lode, and the Science
The term “Comstock capitalism” describes new commercial, legal, and scientific conditions emergent in the silver mining industry of the early 1860s in western Nevada. On the Comstock, the first joint-stock mining companies in the American West were incorporated, and stockholders, “the speculative interest,” underwrote exceptional investments in large labor forces, powerful machines, cutting-edge engineering, and, most importantly, incessant litig…
The Origins of Pure and Applied Science in Gilded Age America
Pure science" and "applied science" have peculiar histories in the United States. Both terms were in use in the early part of the nineteenth century, but it was only in the last decades that they took on new meanings and became commonplace in the discourse of American scientists. The rise in their currency reflected an acute concern about the corruption of character and the real possibilities of commercializing scientific knowledge. "Pure" was th…
The Professional and the Scientist in Nineteenth-Century America
In nineteenth-century America, there was no such person as a "professional scientist". There were professionals and there were scientists, but they were very different. Professionals were men of science who engaged in commercial relations with private enterprises and took fees for their services. Scientists were men of science who rejected such commercial work and feared the corrupting influences of cash and capitalism. Professionals portrayed th…

A Plea for Applied Geology
L'histoire de la geologie appliquee est ici presentee. L'auteur tente d'expliquer la valeur et l'interet de cette discipline autant que ses origines. Il demontre de quelle maniere certaines donnees economiques ont contribue a developper la science geologique au 19e siecle et au debut du 20e siecle. En presentant la geologie appliquee, ses institutions, pratiques, problemes et theories, l'auteur suggere une histoire differente de la geologie, cell…
Court and controversy: Patenting science in the nineteenth century
In the autumn of 1851, on the occasion of the American Institute of New York's annual fair, the Boston chemist and geologist Charles Jackson chose as the subject of his address the ‘Encouragement and Cultivation of the Sciences in the United States’. Playing on popular enthusiasm for science and technology, Jackson rehearsed the wondrous progress of the arts and the role of science in that progress. Science was the ‘Hand-maiden of the Arts’, and …
