Science-Gossip, Vol. 5 (Classic Reprint): An Illustrated Monthly Record of Nature, Country-Lore and Applied Science; July, 1898 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
A peek into a late‑Victorian science monthly with curious observations and careful research. This issue gathers field notes, species descriptions, and ideas on natural history from July 1898.
This edition dives into hands‑on science, from detailed notes on a new freshwater mite species to a thoughtful, if provocative, glaciation theory. It also shines a light on life around Lundy Island, including birds, fishing life, and rugged coastal geology, all framed by the era’s journalistic and illustration standards.
- Learn about Wettina macroplica, a freshwater mite, with its distinguishing features and descriptive figures.
- Explore an ingenious glaciation theory that ties climate to a vapor screen and internal heat.
- Read first‑hand observations of Lundy Island’s bird life, fishermen, geology, and the island’s challenging geography.
- See practical notes on collecting, identifying specimens, and the spirit of citizen science from the period.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical science magazines, field notes, and early discussions of natural history in illustrated form.
