    Extractions: JACOB BJERKNES (1897-1975) Jacob Aall Bonnevie Bjerknes was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1897. He continued a legacy of hydrodynamic application theory that began with his physics professor grandfather Carl and was extended by Jacob's father, the theoretical physicist Vilhelm Bjerknes. From 1914 to 1916, Bjerknes attended the University of Kristiania (Oslo), where he became interested in his father's work relating hydrodynamic theory to atmospheric motion and weather prediction. Jacob followed his father and his group of young Norwegian meteorologists to the University of Leipzig, where their research focused on the formation of heavy precipitation along ordered cloud boundaries then called "squall lines." Through surface map analysis, Jacob discovered that these boundaries coincided with the convergence of wind fields, making the latter a potential detector and predictor of weather patterns. In 1926, Jacob served as a support meteorologist for Roald Amundsen's polar dirigible flight. In 1928 he married Hedvig Borthen. In 1931, he left his position as head of the weather service at Bergen to become professor of meteorology at the geophysical institute his father had founded. By 1933 he discovered yet another aspect of the cyclone phenomenon, the upper atmospheric wave. His preliminary formulation of the use of pressure tendency as a surface indication of cyclone development appeared in 1937. Jacob lectured at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology during the 1933-1934 school year and emigrated to the United States in 1940 where he headed a government-sponsored meteorology annex, for weather forecasting, to the department of physics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). That same year of 1940 saw the invasion of Norway by Germany and Bjerknes' receipt of the Symons Medal from the Royal Meteorological Society. At UCLA, Bjerknes and fellow Norwegian Jorgen Holmboe further developed the pressure tendency and the extratropical cyclone theories.

    Extractions: As we shall see, very similar views continued to play an important role throughout the twentieth century. Although many of Hicks's contemporaries would have subscribed to his philosophy, by 1895, the vortex theory of atoms had been abandoned by most physicists. Decades of theoretical work had led to no real progress and the grand vortex program was degenerating into sterile mathematics. negative matter The hydrodynamic ether models differed from the Laplacian program in physics, but they nonetheless rested on mechanical ground and were not attempts to overthrow the Newtonian worldview. Hydrodynamics, after all, is the mechanical science of fluid bodies. Thermodynamics, the science of heat and other manifestations of energy, constituted a much more difficult problem for the classical worldview. This branch of physics was sometimes argued not only to be different from mechanics in principle, but also to have priority over mechanics as a more satisfactory foundation on which all of physics could be built. In the 1890s, together with electrodynamics, thermodynamics entered as a competitor to mechanics as far as foundational problems were concerned. In this decade, there was a continual discussion of the

His father was Johan Edvard Sverdrup, and his mother was Maria Vollan. The Sverdrup children included Harald's brother Leif, who had a distinguished career in the United States as an engineer, founder of the St. Louis firm Sverdrup and Parcel, and a military career as an engineering general under Douglas MacArthur. Harald Sverdrup attended the military academy in Oslo from 1907-1908. He enrolled at the University of Oslo in "Physical Geography and Astronomy" and in 1911 was offered an assistantship with the preeminent meteorologist, Vilhelm Bjerknes whose work was funded by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Bjerknes's other students included Carl-Gustaf Rossby and Theodore Hesselberg. Sverdrup followed Bjerknes to Leipzig where he completed his dissertation on North Atlantic trade winds in 1917. His dissertation was later published in German as Der Nordatlantische Passat Wartime conditions in Germany drove the Norwegians back to Bergen, and Sverdrup accepted a post as chief scientist on Roald Amundsen's Arctic Expedition on R/V Maud. The expedition left Norway in 1918 for a three to four year cruise which stretched to seven and a half years. Sverdrup's experiences in the Arctic, and especially these years on R/V Maud formed his character. Years later he recalled the experience.

William Roger Revelle practiced law in partnership with two of his brothers. The family was completed with the birth of a second child, Eleanor, in 1911. The Revelles moved to Pasadena, California in 1917 when Ella Revelle was diagnosed with tuberculosis. William Roger Revelle established a law practice there and taught for twenty years in Pasadena junior high schools. While in school in Pasadena, Roger Revelle was among students tested and identified by psychologist Lewis M.Terman as a gifted student. Roger Revelle entered Pomona College in Claremont, California in 1925. His initial interest in journalism faded when Professor Alfred Woodford aroused his enthusiasm for geology. Revelle met Ellen Virginia Clark in 1928. She was a member of the first class of the neighboring Scripps College and a grandniece of Scripps College founder and patroness Ellen Browning Scripps . Revelle received his A.B. from Pomona in 1929 and remained at the college for a year of graduate study. Ellen Clark and Roger Revelle were married in Pasadena on June 22, 1931.

    Extractions: Search Phone Directory Links to the World ... What's on Abstract of my presentation at the XXth Scientific Instrument Symposium Stockholm, Sweden, October 15-19, 2001 In the first decades of the 20th century the development of hydrodynamic analogies of magnetism, established by Carl Anton Bjerknes in Oslo, was driven further by his son Vilhelm. Sets of demonstration instruments were built by several Scandinavian and German instrument makers and used in physics lectures until at least the 1920s. The Bjerknes instruments are merely examples of a whole range of materialized hydrodynamic and hydrostatic analogies of electricity and magnetism so far widely being neglected by historians of science. To convincingly show the attraction and repulsion of pulsating and vibrating bodies has always been a crucial and most troublesome part of Bjerknes' experiments. In order to be transformed into a successful lecture demonstration the experimental set-up had to fulfill two criteria: 1) the skills to carry out the experiments had to be achieved by the lecturer or his assistant in a reasonable amount of time, 2) the effect had to be observable by the students. It is left to investigate whether the final design of the instruments promoted by Vilhelm Bjerknes overcame the problems associated with easy and convincing demonstrations. As a part of my presentation I will try to demonstrate some of Bjerknes' hydrodynamic experiments using the original set of instruments from the Norwegian Institute of Technology, bought in 1912.

The project Acoustics in Science, Art and Media is a part of the Forum for Kunnskapshistorie (Forum for the History of Knowledge) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. Its main goals are: To follow the development of acoustics as a field of academic research and teaching from the beginnings of modern acoustics in the 19 th century until the breakthrough of electroacoustics in the interwar period. The main focus lies on the early 20 th century up to the 1930s and the development of scientific instruments and experimental research and teaching practices. Historians of science have so far mainly focused on 19 th century acoustics and given little attention to the fundamental changes that occurred in acoustical technologies and practices in the first half of the 20 th century. These changes were expressed in the rise of technical acoustics and applied research and consulting, and the appearance of electrical engineers and institutions of telecommunication research and development in acoustics research. The project aims at contributing to the historiography of acoustics in this period.

As a matter of fact, reading this text should be a must for all people professionally interested in the "history" of Physics or of Science (for these readers the book, its "polemical" thesis notwithstanding, could become an indispensable tool, packed as it is with information, quotations, meticulous references, etc.), but it is highly recommended even to teachers, scientists of all kind, philosophers, epistemologists, in general to every person interested in the evolution of human civilization and knowledge. Indeed, it would be difficult to deny that the emergence of modern science is one of the most relevant events of all times, and that Relativity in particular is the "theory" which had the greatest impact and influence on XXth Century Western thought - though, in our opinion, and clearly in Bjerknes' as well, a
