Extractions: John Tyndall John Tyndall (1820-1893) was born in Co. Carlow and he received his early education in Carlow before going to work for the Ordnance Survey, first in Ireland and later in England. While he worked he attended lectures at the local Mechanics Institute, where members of the working class could receive basic instruction in the sciences. In 1843 he was dismissed from the survey for protesting the working conditions of the Irish labourers. He moved on to work as a surveyor for the railroad industry. In 1847 he became a teacher at Edmundson School, Queenwood College, in Hampshire, where one of the first teaching laboratories in Britain was set up. There he became interested in the teaching of practical science and engineering. In 1848 Tyndall went to Marburg University in Germany to carry out his Ph.D. studies. At that time Ph.D. degrees had only just been introduced and the German Universities were then world leaders in scientific research training. Tyndall studied Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. He completed his degree in two years and went on to do research in Berlin, where he mingled with many of the great German scientists of that time. He returned to Britain in 1851 but was unable to find a university position due to his unconventional education and his working class background. Finally in 1853, after a brilliant lecturing performance he was appointed professor of natural philosophy at the Royal Institution in London. There he developed his talents for lecturing and research and he took over from Michael Faraday as Superintendent in 1867.

He also did much to popularize science among laymen. John Tyndall was born on Aug. 2, 1820, at Leighlin Bridge, near Carlow, Ireland, where his father was a constable. After a little formal schooling, he gained a practical education by working as a surveyor and engineer. He entered the University of Marburg, Germany, in 1848 and earned his doctorate 2 years later. His dissertation research interested Michael Faraday, who later brought him to the Royal Institution of London. In 1867 Tyndall succeeded Faraday as superintendent there. He retired in 1887. Tyndall is noted for his study of the scattering of light by atmospheric particles, a phenomenon sometimes called the Tyndall effect. In 1869 he provided explanations for the color of the sun at the horizon and of clear skies; about 2 years later Lord Rayle.....

A professor of natural philosophy at the Royal Institute in London from 1853, Tyndall conducted research in that subject as well as in physics, electricity, heat, light, sound, and glaciology. His interest in glaciers lead him to become a mountaineer and Mt. Tyndall, a peak near the Matterhorn, is named for him. Tyndall, John, 1820-1893Manuscript.

Extractions: John Tyndall (1820-1893) was one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. He made important contributions in physics, atmospheric science and geology. Tyndall was also a gifted public lecturer, an avid promoter of the public understanding of science, and a noted mountaineer. He is best remembered popularly as the man who first explained why the sky is blue. John Tyndall was born in Leighlinbridge, Co. Carlow, into a Protestant family of small landowners. His father, a man of some intellect, ensured that John received a good elementary education. He left school at 17 well grounded in mathematics, surveying and English. John joined the Irish Ordnance Survey in 1839 as a surveyor/draughtsman and was transferred to the English Survey in 1842. He was sacked from this post in 1843, partly because he protested at its treatment of the Irish. After 3 years working on the construction of the UK rail network he secured employment teaching mathematics at Queenswood College Hampshire. In 1848, Tyndall went to Marburg, Germany to do a Ph.D. on magnetism in the laboratory of Robert Bunsen (1811-1899). He worked intensely hard and completed his Ph.D. in less than 2 years (such work normally takes 3-4 years).

Extractions: In Paradigm for December 1997 John Issitt raised questions about how we write our analyses of past books - especially as we try to locate them as cultural objects in particular cultural settings. In teacher education I am interested in the relationship between those old settings and our context of work in schools today and for that I find that the most helpful analytical stance is to think about the systems of discourse, the ways of talking, which were being established in those days. It is in that spirit I have particularly enjoyed handling some of the books of John Tyndall (1820-1893) and thinking about the qualities of the discourse he helped to establish. I think about his setting, and how it connects with but differs from the settings which I know. He was successor to Faraday at the Royal Institution, giving highly popular evening expositions and much involved in the politics of the professionalisation of science. The generations of teachers I have in mind have been in a the very different situation, picking up assumptions about science and about what it means to teach it. For some of them, at the time when science was being introduced into the public schools, Tyndall's lectures in book form were an inspiration and lecture demonstration became a regular component of school science. Later, even at second and third hand, the approach offered a paradigm in the sense of an exemplar showing how one's craft is done.
