PDF-[EBOOK]-A History of Natural Philosophy: From the Ancient World to the Nineteenth Century

Natural philosophy encompassed all natural phenomena of the physical world It sought to discover the physical causes of all natural effects and was little concerned with mathematics By contrast the exact mathematical sciences were narrowly confined to various computations that did not involve physical causes functioning totally independently of natural philosophy Although this began slowly to change in the late Middle Ages a much more thoroughgoing union of natural philosophy and mathematics occurred in the seventeenth century and thereby made the Scientific Revolution possible The title of Isaac Newtons great work The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy perfectly reflects the new relationship Natural philosophy became the Great Mother of the Sciences which by the nineteenth century had nourished the manifold chemical physical and biological sciences to maturity thus enabling them to leave the Great Mother and emerge as the multiplicity of independent sciences we know today.

Balm of America’: Nationalism, Advertising, and . Proprietary Medicines in Nineteenth-Century America. . Abstract:. Proprietary medicines flourished in the nineteenth century. As Americans struggled to make sense of the new nation, savvy businesspeople and owners of patent formulas drew on new forms and methods of advertising to increase distribution and profits of such items as cure-alls, elixirs, fever powders, salves and medical devices. With little government regulation or resistance from the very-young professional medical community until the late 1800s, proprietary medicines found a niche in lay usage across the United States due to advertising campaigns that stressed uniqueness, scarcity, efficacy, and a distinctly American quality of the product. This poster visually demonstrates how advertisers linked health to nationalism to legitimate and sell products that, within a century, came to be termed "quackery" and "snake-oil"..

Natural philosophy encompassed all natural phenomena of the physical world. It sought to discover the physical causes of all natural effects and was little concerned with mathematics. By contrast, the exact mathematical sciences were narrowly confined to various computations that did not involve physical causes, functioning totally independently of natural philosophy. Although this began slowly to change in the late Middle Ages, a much more thoroughgoing union of natural philosophy and mathematics occurred in the seventeenth century and thereby made the Scientific Revolution possible. The title of Isaac Newton\'s great work, The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, perfectly reflects the new relationship. Natural philosophy became the \'Great Mother of the Sciences\', which by the nineteenth century had nourished the manifold chemical, physical, and biological sciences to maturity, thus enabling them to leave the \'Great Mother\' and emerge as the multiplicity of independent sciences we know today. A panoramic global history of the nineteenth centuryA monumental history of the nineteenth century, The Transformation of the World offers a panoramic and multifaceted portrait of a world in transition. J?rgen Osterhammel, an eminent scholar who has been called the Braudel of the nineteenth century, moves beyond conventional Eurocentric and chronological accounts of the era, presenting instead a truly global history of breathtaking scope and towering erudition. He examines the powerful and complex forces that drove global change during the long nineteenth century, taking readers from New York to New Delhi, from the Latin American revolutions to the Taiping Rebellion, from the perils and promise of Europe\'s transatlantic labor markets to the hardships endured by nomadic, tribal peoples across the planet. Osterhammel describes a world increasingly networked by the telegraph, the steamship, and the railways. He explores the changing relationship between human beings and nature, looks at the importance of cities, explains the role slavery and its abolition played in the emergence of new nations, challenges the widely held belief that the nineteenth century witnessed the triumph of the nation-state, and much more.This is the highly anticipated English edition of the spectacularly successful and critically acclaimed German book, which is also being translated into Chinese, Polish, Russian, and French. Indispensable for any historian, The Transformation of the World sheds important new light on this momentous epoch, showing how the nineteenth century paved the way for the global catastrophes of the twentieth century, yet how it also gave rise to pacifism, liberalism, the trade union, and a host of other crucial developments.
