Recoveries

neglected episodes in Irish cultural history, 1860-1912

Edición de la obra Recoveries

This book presents three lectures delivered at NUI Maynooth in February 2001. Each lecture draws attention to a neglected episode in Irish cultural history that occurred between mid-Victorian and Edwardian times. The first lecture discusses the reaction in Ireland to one version of Darwinism; the second lecture addresses the building of the RMS Titanic; and the last lecture discusses the explosive growth in popularity of fieldwork in geology, botany, and zoology in Ireland. All contribute to the cultural history of science in Ireland. -- From Introduction
