Antony Van Leeuwenhoek and His "Little Animals": Being Some Account of the Father of Protozoology and Bacteriology and His Multifarious Discoveries in These Disciplines (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
The Gregorian correction of the Julian Calendar was not made simultaneously in England and the Netherlands, and during Leeuwenhoek's lifetime two different systems of dating—known as " Old Style" and " New Style"—were current in these countries. " New Style " dating was adopted in the Provinces of Holland (wherein Delft is situated) and Brabant on 5 December 1582, which was called the 15th of the month—thus advancing the Calendar by 10 days : though other Provinces of the Netherlands (Gelderland, Utrecht, Overyssel, Groningen, Friesland) did not recognize the new system until 1700. But in England the change was made even later, for it was not until 1752 that the ' Old Style " was abolished by Act of Parliament. The discrepancy between the Julian and the Gregorian systems having become 11 days in the year 1700, the English Calendar was corrected by calling the 3rd of September (1752) the 14th. At the same time, the old Anglican method of commencing the year on March 25 (instead of January l) was ended. Good Friday was New Year's Day in Delft before 1575, but not afterwards.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of microscopic creatures, as first observed by the pioneering Dutchman Antony van Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century. Through meticulous translations and insightful commentary, the author brings Leeuwenhoek's groundbreaking discoveries to life, offering a glimpse into a previously unseen realm teeming with "little animals." Leeuwenhoek's observations, made during a time of great scientific and intellectual ferment, revolutionized our understanding of the natural world. His detailed descriptions of protozoa, bacteria, and other microscopic organisms challenged prevailing beliefs and laid the foundation for modern microbiology. Beyond the scientific significance, this book explores the profound philosophical implications of Leeuwenhoek's work. It invites us to contemplate the interconnectedness of all living things and to marvel at the hidden wonders that lie beyond the limits of our unaided vision. By shedding light on Leeuwenhoek's pioneering spirit and the enduring impact of his discoveries, this book offers a testament to the transformative power of curiosity and the enduring legacy of a remarkable man.
