Pathfinders > Biography This guide offers a list of sources for finding biographical information on chemists, with an emphasis on historical figures. While chemistry has a rich and extensive historical record, biographical information on most individuals is often sparse and limited to brief data about birth and death dates, education, employment, and major accomplishments. It's rare to find substantial published biographical information on chemists, unless the subject was very famous indeed. But perserverence and a little digging can often produce useful information.

This is the primary "Who's Who" of U.S. academic science, but is limited to persons who were alive and working at the time of each edition's publication. Included: basic biographical background, degrees, positions, awards, research specialties, and addresses. Revised every several years; multiple earlier editions from the 3rd (1921) forward are shelved in the Chemistry Library book stacks.

Extractions: Ecology Hall of Fame Muir Biography Extracts ... Web Links A Brief Biography In the spring of 1868, a young man came to Yosemite and changed the world. Muir had just turned 30 that year. His first 11 years were spent in Dunbar, Scotland. The next 11 he spent in the backwoods of Wisconsin, working through the daylight hours, clearing the forest, holding a plow to a straight furrow behind a team of oxen, digging wells through hard bedrock, and taking an adult's part in subduing wild nature. Years later, in The Story of My Boyhood and Youth , he stressed the rigours of his childhood, but he seemed to feel that his strenuous years in Wisconsin prepared him well for his later wilderness ramblings. He also prepared throughout his childhood for his life as a naturalist by a close attention to the wonders of nature. Everything, it seemed, drew his eye and his mind, and all creatures drew his sympathy, whether the mice that ate the grain he had wrung from the earth by the sweat of his brow or the intelligent old ox Buck, who figured out how to open pumpkins to feast on the succulent inner flesh. As a teenager, he had no time for school and little opportunity for formal study. Yet his mind hungered for knowledge. When his father grudgingly gave permission for him to rise before the rest of the family to read, he took to rising at one in the morning. He wrote, "I had gained five hours, almost half a day! 'Five hours to myself!' I said. 'Five huge, solid hours!' I can hardly think of any other event of my life, any discovery I ever made that gave birth to joy so transportingly glorious as the possession of these five frosty hours."

Naturopathy - Quackery Or Health Profession? Canadian Naturopathic Association list of Provinces and status of naturopaths . Unfortunately, the test is nonspecific. It might also mean that the http://www.healthwatcher.net/Quackerywatch/Naturopathy/
Extractions: BY NATUROPATHS IN CANADA Cancer patients who have a fear of standard medical treatment for their condition, or who have failed therapy with radiation, or chemotherapy may seek alternative care. That is their right to do so. However, there is a very strong caveat that you need to pay attention to. Most Canadian Provinces, and most U.S. States have absolutely no regulation over naturopathic practitioners. Even when there are laws or regulations in place, most of these clinics are unsupervised. If these were medical clinics that operated this way, they would either lose their funding, or be out of business in a hurry. Naturopathic clinics for the most part use bogus screening tests, dubious "natural medical" devices, unproved laboratory tests, and non-standard treatments for serious conditions, like cancer.

The compiler of this dictionary is not sympathetic to "alternative medicine" and the "definitions" offered can sound quite negative, at times. Click on the name underlined above for access to a dictionary you can consult for an intriduction to many of the unfamiliar terms related to alternative healthcare. The * Skeptic's Dictionary , compiled by Robert T. Carroll, a professor of Philosophy at Sacramento City College, also offers a critical approach to alternative health care topics.
