Biographical Notice of James Melville Gilliss

Excerpt from Biographical Notice of James Melville Gilliss Mr. President and Gentlemen op the Academy: - The year which has just elapsed has been more sparing of our number than its predecessors; yet death has taken one from the ranks of the Academy who could ill be spared, and on the 9th of February last the tidings went forth from this capital to all parts of the land, that a great bereavement had come upon the science of America. A month before we had met Gilliss here in the vigor of his manhood, the fullness of his energy, and the manly dignity so characteristic of his bearing.

Space, Time, and Aliens

In this comprehensive and interdisciplinary volume, former NASA Chief Historian Steven Dick reflects on the exploration of space, astrobiology and its implications, cosmic evolution, astronomical institutions, discovering and classifying the cosmos, and the philosophy of astronomy. The unifying theme of the book is the connection between cosmos and culture, or what Carl Sagan many years ago called the “cosmic connection.” As both an astronomer and historian of science, Dr. Dick has been both a witness to and a participant in many of the astronomical events of the last half century. This collection of papers presents his reflections over the last forty years in a way accessible to historians, philosophers, and scientists alike. From the search for alien life to ongoing space exploration efforts, readers will find this volume full of engaging topics relevant to science, society, and our collective future on planet Earth and beyond.
