William Keith Brooks, 1848-1908
Excerpt from William Keith Brooks, 1848-1908: Reunion of the Alumni, November, 1908 AS one of those who knew Dr. Brooks longest, I have been requested to. Say a few words about the rare man, the chosen spirit, whose presence was a light to this Uni versity, whose work will abide forever as a precious possession; and it is all ours, for this was his intellectual and spiritual home. But, after listening to President Remsen's analysis of his varied activity, and to Dr. Hurd's vivid description of the man as he lived and moved, I realize my utter incompetence to deal with so complex a subject, and the feeling returns that first came to expres sion upon the announcement of his death, the vain reg...

The Oyster Question
In The Oyster Question, Christine Keiner applies perspectives of environmental, agricultural, political, and social history to examine the decline of Maryland’s iconic Chesapeake Bay oyster industry. Oystermen have held on to traditional ways of life, and some continue to use preindustrial methods, tonging oysters by hand from small boats. Others use more intensive tools, and thus it is commonly believed that a lack of regulation enabled oystermen to exploit the bay to the point of ruin. But Keiner offers an opposing view in which state officials, scientists, and oystermen created a regulated commons that sustained tidewater communities for decades. Not until the 1980s did a confluence of ...

A Guinea Pig's History Of Biology
The triumphs of recent biology - understanding hereditary disease, the modern theory of evolution - are all thanks to the fruit fly, the guinea pig, the zebra fish and a handful of other organisms, which have helped us unravel one of life's greatest mysteries - inheritance. Jim Endersby traces his story from Darwin hand-pollinating passion flowers in his back garden in an effort to find out whether his decision to marry his cousin had harmed their children, to today's high-tech laboratories, full of shoals of shimmering zebra fish, whose bodies are transparent until they are mature, allowing scientists to watch every step as a single fertilised cell multiples to become millions of specialised cells that make up a new fish. Each story has - piece by piece - revealed how DNA determines the characteristics of the adult organism. Not every organism was as cooperative as the fruit fly or zebra fish, some provided scientists with misleading answers or encouraged them to ask the wrong questions.
