Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This engrossing book delves into a scandalous dispute between author and astronomer Benjamin Apthorp Gould, Jr. and the trustees of the Dudley Observatory in 1858. After accepting the directorship of the observatory and pledging his services pro-bono, Gould soon found himself at odds with the institution's president, Thomas Olcott. The conflict escalated into a public feud, with Olcott accusing Gould of financial impropriety and incompetence. Gould's reputation was tarnished by a Statement of the Trustees that accused him of wasting donations, delaying the observatory's opening, and failing to fulfill scientific promises. Gould's spirited Reply offers a detailed rebuttal of these charges, defending his work and exposing the falsehoods and distortions employed by his accusers. He provides a glimpse into the inner workings of scientific institutions, the complexities of personal relationships, and the limits of power. Through the author's vivid account, readers gain insight into the challenges faced by scientists and the importance of integrity, transparency, and accountability in any organization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9780282834364_0
