Book Description
Excerpt from The Mason College Magazine, 1883, Vol. 1 But writers in the Mason College Magazine are, we trust, not likely to fall into absurdities of this kind. If anyone feels tempted to use big words when little ones would do quite as well, let him whisper to himself the warning word holocaust, and think of its meaning before too late. Our College is called the Mason Science College. Without staying to enquire what may have been in the mind of the Founder when he gave his sanction to the selection of the name, or venturing to express any opinion as to the wisdom of its adoption, we are reminded by this official title that if our Magazine is to represent or to assist in developing the intellectual life of the place, it will be necessary to give a considerable share of our space to subject connected with the history, the progress, the objects, or the results of scientific work.

Chemistry Was Their Life
Author: Marelene F. Rayner-CanhamPublisher: Imperial College Press
ISBN: 1860949878
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 561
Book Description
British chemistry has traditionally been depicted as a solely male endeavour. However, this perspective is untrue: the allure of chemistry has attracted women since the earliest times. Despite the barriers placed in their path, women studied academic chemistry from the 1880s onwards and made interesting or significant contributions to their fields, yet they are virtually absent from historical records.Comprising a unique set of biographies of 141 of the 896 known women chemists from 1880 to 1949, this work attempts to address the imbalance by showcasing the determination of these women to survive and flourish in an environment dominated by men. Individual biographical accounts interspersed with contemporary quotes describe how women overcame the barriers of secondary and tertiary education, and of admission to professional societies. Although these women are lost to historical records, they are brought together here for the first time to show that a vibrant culture of female chemists did indeed exist in Britain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Dear Ann
Author: Bobbie Ann MasonPublisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062986678
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
From the acclaimed author of the classics Shiloh and Other Stories and In Country comes a beautifully crafted and profoundly moving novel which follows a woman as she looks back over her life and her first love. Ann Workman is smart but naïve, a misfit who’s traveled from rural Kentucky to graduate school in the transformative years of the late 1960s. While Ann fervently seeks higher learning, she wants what all girls yearn for—a boyfriend. But not any boy. She wants the “Real Thing,” to be in love with someone who loves her equally. Then Jimmy appears as if by magic. Although he comes from a very different place, upper-middle class suburban Chicago, he is a misfit too, a rebel who rejects his upbringing and questions everything. Ann and Jimmy bond through music and literature and their own quirkiness, diving headfirst into what seems to be a perfect relationship. But with the Vietnam War looming and the country in turmoil, their future is uncertain. Many years later, Ann recalls this time of innocence—and her own obsession with Jimmy—as she faces another life crisis. Seeking escape from her problems, she tries to imagine where she might be if she had chosen differently all those years ago. What if she had gone to Stanford University, as her mentor had urged, instead of a small school on the East Coast? Would she have been caught up in the Summer of Love and its subsequent dark turns? Or would her own good sense have saved her from disaster? Beautifully written and expertly told, Dear Ann is the wrenching story of one woman’s life and the choices she has made. Bobbie Ann Mason captures at once the excitement of youth and the nostalgia of age, and how consideration of the road not taken—the interplay of memory and imagination—can illuminate, and perhaps overtake, our present.
