Handbook of the Historiography of the Earth and Environmental Sciences
This open access handbook assesses the historiography and the future of major themes and approaches within the history of the earth sciences.
Introduction: Towards a global history of paleontology: The paleontological reception of Darwin's thought
Introduction: Historicizing Big Data
The history of data brings together topics and themes from a variety of perspectives in history of science: histories of the material culture of information and of computing, the history of politics on individual and global scales, gender and women’s history, as well as the histories of many individual disciplines, to name just a few of the areas covered by essays in this volume. But the history of data is more than just the sum of its parts. It …
The Database before the Computer
Are characteristic practices of modern data-driven science—the compiling of databases, quantitative analysis of large data sets, standard graphical representations of data patterns—a product of the computer era? I explore this question through a comparative analysis of nineteenth- and twentieth-century data approaches in paleontology. Drawing on examples of large-scale quantitative data collection and analysis of both paper-based taxonomic compen…
Replaying Life's Tape”: Simulations, metaphors, and historicity in Stephen Jay Gould's view of life
Extinction, diversity, and endangerment
This chapter shifts in biological understanding of influencing the wider social, political, and cultural awareness of extinction and diversity shaping endangerment sensibility and reflects and reinforces broader cultural perceptions and valuations of diversity and endangerment. It shows particular extinction discourse implicated in a cultural and political ideology in Britain and the US supporting imperialism and downplayed the value of protectin…
Paleontology at the “high table”? Popularization and disciplinary status in recent paleontology
