Excerpt: 

Beginning in the 1960s, evolutionary biology was significantly transformed by the incorporation of ideas and techniques from molecular biology. This led to many novel views (and as many controversies) about phylogenetic relationships, rates and mechanisms of evolutionary change, and standards of inference and hypothesis testing.
This interactive website is devoted to recounting, documenting, and analyzing the history of molecular evolutionary biology. This is not just an activity for historians and philosophers. We especially encourage contributions and reactions from biologists.

Excerpt: 

This paper explores the dissemination and development of science in colonial America. Specifically, I examine a general periodical (or newspaper), the Pennsylvania Gazette, in the years 1729 - 1765. I impose the modern definition of science to describe a style of enlightenment natural inquiry which would include natural philosophy, naturalism, technics, medicine, and husbandry, among others. I utilize three questions:
What was the role of the Pennsylvania Gazette in the 'popularization' and accessibility of science?
How did the Pennsylvania Gazette serve the interests of the public and of those doing science?
What was the image of natural philosophy that was promoted in the Pennsylvania Gazette?

Baker-Cedarberg Museum and Archives
Excerpt: 

In the 1820s, Rochester's mortality rate was high; nearly three out of every 100 people died of disease each year, and almost half the deaths were children under three years old. The patient’s family met early community healthcare needs; treatment was in the home, and if the family was too poor the city physician was called to attend the sick.
In 1822 a concerned group of women, the Rochester Female Charitable Society, began visiting the poor and sick.

Annotation: 

This detailed site provides a history of Rochester City Hospital and Rochester General Hospital between 1847 and 1997. The eighteen essays that make up the history of these hospitals contain images, photos and links to primary documents. The site also includes a chronology and biographies of 26 leading figures in the history of medicine in Rochester. Of most use to scholars will be information about accessing the physical archives of the collection and a bibliography around which this web site was created. Navigation for the site is clean and easy to use and so researchers should find their way quickly to pages they may find useful.

Excerpt: 

In this section we should again mention the names of Mark Antun Dominis and Rugjer Boskovic, whose work was veritably encyclopaedistic.
The first known manual about book-keeping was "Della mercatura e del mercante perfetto," written by Benko Kotruljic (born in Dubrovnik, 15th century). Its French translation appeared under the title "Parfait négociant" in Lyon in 1613.
