Through the story of this institution and the individuals who formed it, Mary P. Winsor explores the conflicting forces that shaped systematics in the second half of the nineteenth century. Debates over the philosophical foundations of classification, details of taxonomic research, the young institution's financial struggles, and the personalities of the men most deeply involved are all brought to life. In 1859, Louis Agassiz established the Museum of Comparative Zoology to house research on the ideal types that he believed were embodied in all living forms. Agassiz's vision arose from his insistence that the order inherent in the diversity of life reflected divine creation, not organic evolution. But the mortar of the new museum had scarcely dried when Darwin's Origin was published. By Louis Agassiz's death in 1873, even his former students, including his son Alexander, had defected to the evolutionist camp. Alexander, a self-made millionaire, succeeded his father as director and introduced a significantly different agenda for the museum. To trace Louis and Alexander's arguments and the style of science they established at the museum, Winsor uses many fascinating examples that even zoologists may find unfamiliar. The locus of all this activity, the museum building itself, tells its own story through a wonderful series of archival photographs. 410 0$aScience and its conceptual foundations. 606 $aAnimals$vClassification$xHistory 606 $aNatural history$xClassification$xHistory 606 $aNaturalists$zUnited States$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnimals$xHistory. 615 0$aNatural history$xClassification$xHistory. 615 0$aNaturalists 676 $a574/.012 700 $aWinsor$b Mary P$0988290 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465346403321 996 $aReading the shape of nature$92269448 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02137 am 2200433 n 450 001 9910348244403321 005 20181127 010 $a2-7297-1024-8 024 7 $a10.4000/books.pul.8660 035 $a(CKB)4100000009763282 035 $a(FrMaCLE)OB-pul-8660 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/49053 035 $a(PPN)241654793 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000009763282 100 $a20210809j|||||||| ||| 0 101 0 $afre 135 $auu||||||m|||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aHabiter Lyon /$fYves Grafmeyer 210 $aLyon $cPresses universitaires de Lyon$d2018 215 $a1 online resource (224 p.) 311 $a2-7297-0401-9 330 $aPris dans de multiples réseaux d'appartenances et de relations qui débordent largement le cadre restreint de leur quartier, les citadins mettent en pratique des manières d'habiter qui portent l'empreinte de leur propre histoire, mais s'ajustent aussi à celles de leurs voisins. Au carrefour du devenir des immeubles et du destin de leurs occupants, les quartiers urbains ne cessent de se façonner et de se redéfinir au fil du temps. Si chacun a sa physionomie singulière, il porte aussi témoignage de toutes les lignes de force qui concourent à faire la ville et les manières d'être en ville : trajets et projets individuels, lois du marché, jeu des réseaux locaux, mémoire collective inscrite dans les maisons et les espaces de la cité... Tantôt éphémères, tantôt durables, ces ajustements mutuels entre des personnes et des lieux se révèlent ici à la faveur de l'analyse comparée de trois quartiers résidentiels situés au c?ur de la ville de Lyon. 606 $aHousing$zFrance$zLyon 610 $acitadin 610 $aurbanisme 610 $aville 610 $ahabitation 610 $aquartier 610 $aimmeuble 615 0$aHousing 700 $aGrafmeyer$b Yves$01231629 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910348244403321 996 $aHabiter Lyon$92859695 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04587nam 2200577 450 001 9910786638403321 005 20230120014710.0 010 $a1-4832-5798-3 035 $a(CKB)3710000000200877 035 $a(EBL)1901722 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001267046 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12485360 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001267046 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11254735 035 $a(PQKB)11626260 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1901722 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000200877 100 $a20150202h19921992 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aMathematical methods in computer aided geometric design II /$fedited by Tom Lyche, Larry L.
