When a certain Mark Anthony of the famous Italian family of the Roveres arrived in Agen, in SW France, in the second decade of the 16th century, he brought along with him his personal physician, Master Julius Caesar, who had been under the protection of his family for some time. This latter was a majestic-looking man of some 40 years of age who was to become renowned as one of the greatest scholars of the Renaissance. Indeed, so great became his fame in all branches of learning that it was for long considered that he was the greatest scholar who had ever dwelt in France. This study provides all the important things known about the life of Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484-1558). This is a print on demand publication.
This study represents the culmination of some 15 years of research in the field of Amazonian archeology. Ilha de Marajo, as the Brazilians call it, has been described as resting in the mouth of the Amazon like an egg in that of a serpent. In reality, Marajo is part of an archipelago. Contents of this study of the pottery of Marajo Island, Brazil: (1) Introduction; (2) The Island: Notes on geography and climate; Historical notes; Archeological sites; (3) The Pottery: Stylistic Analysis: Outline of Classification; Wares; Miscellaneous studies of parts of the pottery; Correlations: Elements of form and decoration; Correlation chart; Summary; Catalog numbers for specimens illustrated; and Bibliography. Illustrations. This is a print on demand publication.

This volume presents Professor Cohen's original interpretation of the revolution that marked the beginnings of modern science and set Newtonian science as the model for the highest level of achievement in other branches of science. It shows that Newton developed a special kind of relation between abstract mathematical constructs and the physical systems that we observe in the world around us by means of experiment and critical observation. The heart of the radical Newtonian style is the construction on the mind of a mathematical system that has some features in common with the physical world; this system was then modified when the deductions and conclusions drawn from it are tested against the physical universe. Using this system Newton was able to make his revolutionary innovations in celestial mechanics and, ultimately, create a new physics of central forces and the law of universal gravitation. Building on his analysis of Newton's methodology, Professor Cohen explores the fine structure of revolutionary change and scientific creativity in general. This is done by developing the concept of scientific change as a series of transformations of existing ideas. It is shown that such transformation is characteristic of many aspects of the sciences and that the concept of scientific change by transformation suggests a new way of examining the very nature of scientific creativity.
