The Fat Lady Will Not Sing --Notes --Bibliography --IndexThe Ovary of Eve is a rich and often hilarious account of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century efforts to understand conception. In these early years of the Scientific Revolution, the most intelligent men and women of the day struggled to come to terms with the origins of new life, and one theory-preformation-sparked an intensely heated debate that continued for over a hundred years. Clara Pinto-Correia traces the history of this much maligned theory through the cultural capitals of Europe. "The most wonderfully eye-opening, or imagination-opening book, as amusing as it is instructive."-Mary Warnock, London Observer "[A] fascinating and often humorous study of a reproductive theory that flourished from the mid-17th century to the mid-18th century."-Nina C. Ayoub, Chronicle of Higher Education "More than just a good story, The Ovary of Eve is an object lesson about the history of science: Don't trust it. . . . Pinto-Correia says she wants to tell the story of history's losers. In doing so, she makes defeat sound more appealing than victory."-Emily Eakin, Nation. "A sparkling history of preformation as it once affected every facet of European culture."-Robert Taylor, Boston GlobeEmbryologyHistoryReproductionResearchHistoryScienceEuropeHistory17th centuryScienceEuropeHistory18th centuryElectronic books.EmbryologyHistory.ReproductionResearchHistory.ScienceHistoryScienceHistory509.4/09/032XB 3400rvkCorreia Clara Pinto708997MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455277003321The ovary of Eve2116466UNINA02139nam 2200589Ia 450 99652570020331620170816120500.01-281-03184-497866110318481-84765-022-8(CKB)1000000000336239(EBL)305745(OCoLC)437186475(SSID)ssj0000079508(PQKBManifestationID)11118860(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000079508(PQKBWorkID)10089276(PQKB)10096717(MiAaPQ)EBC305745(PPN)170210014(FR-PaCSA)10159894(EXLCZ)99100000000033623920050928d2006 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrGuide to financial markets /Marc Levinson5th ed.London Profile20061 online resource (256 p.)Includes index.Previous ed.: 2002.Published in association with the Economist.1-86197-956-8 Preliminaries; Contents; 1 Why markets matter; 2 Foreign exchange markets; 3 Money markets; 4 Bond markets; 5 Securitisation; 6 International fixed income markets; 7 Equity markets; 8 Commodities and futures markets; 9 Options and derivatives markets; IndexPresents a reference guide to financial markets.
