(Brussels) displays a small exposition entitled "From the Roman to the
16th Century Surveyor" (Van de Romeinse tot de 16de-eeuwse landmeters/
Des agrimensores romains aux arpenteurs du XVIe siecle). Although mainly
concerned with books there are also astrolabes and reconstructions of
Roman measuring instruments. Admission free.

The Israel Museum in Jerusalem has been staging an exhibition entitled
"Written in the Stars - Art and Symbolism of the Zodiac" from 20 March
to 31 December 2001. A large number of exhibits illustrated the role of
the astrological signs in art painting and sculpture, literature and
religion, but also in connection with everyday artefacts. Celestial
globes from the 17th and 18th centuries (on loan from Vienna) complete
the lively exhibition with its very useful English-language
inscriptions. The catalogue, also in English, is another addition to the
museum's list of internationally known publications.
Catalogue: Written in the Stars. Art and Symbolism of the Zodiac.
Catalogue No. 452. 144 pp., 85 illustrations. ISBN 965-278-273-4. Soft

Figures de l'antinewtonianisme/Faces of anti-Newtonianism, 1672-1832
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(Aus: Electronic Newsletter for the History of Astronomy, No. 48,
December 17, 2001, Item 4)
24-25 May 2002
Center for History and Philosophy of Science, Department of Philosophy,
University of Paris-X (Nanterre), France
CALL FOR PAPERS: Historians have often regarded the opposition encountered
by Newtonianism during its triumphal progress in the 18th and 19th
centuries as little more than conservative reaction or temporary
misunderstanding. Yet from Leibniz and Berkeley to Goethe and the
Naturphilosophen, powerful critics manifested profound dissatisfaction with
both the scientific content and the philosophical foundations of
Newtonianism. The aim of the colloquium is to engage in a critical
reexamination of anti-Newtonianism by exploring its diverse origins, the
content of its arguments and practices, and its scientific and
philosophical consequences. The colloquium will be organized around four
major themes (subthemes listed are indicative, not exhaustive):
1. The principals of Newtonian mechanics. Cartesian reactions to the
publication of the Principia Mathematica; critiques of Leibniz, Huygens,
Fontenelle, and others of central Newtonian concepts (attraction, force,
relative and absolute motion, space and time.)
2. Theories of matter. Reception of and resistance to the research program
of the Queries in Newton's Opticks; the encounter of Newtonianism with
established research traditions in chemistry.
3. Hypothesis and experiment. The 18th century epistemological debate
regarding the legitimacy of the experimental method and inductive
generalization, the proscription of hypotheses, the relation of mathematics
to experience, and the validity of the method of fluxions; competing forms
of experimental practice in the work of Rizetti, Mariotte, Goethe, and
others.
4. Scientific knowledge and human culture. The evolving (post-Principia)
image of the cultural role of natural science; philosophical (Berkeley) and
poetical (Swift, Coleridge, Blake, Goethe) critiques of the Newtonian
conception of nature; theological objections to Newtonianism.
To propose a paper (30 minutes, either in French or English), please send a
short abstract and a curriculum vitae to either:

Nathaniel Bowditch and the Art and Science of Navigation, 1802-2002
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(Aus: Electronic Newsletter for the History of Astronomy, No. 48,
December 17, 2001, Item 5)
Salem State College, 8-10 November 2002
The Bowditch Institute of Salem will celebrate the bicentennial of
Nathaniel Bowditch's "The New American Practical Navigator" with a
conference on the topic, "Nathaniel Bowditch: The Art and Science of
Navigation, 1802-2002" to be held at Salem State College in Salem,
Massachusetts, November 8-10, 2002. The conference will use Bowditch as
a touchstone for exploring the state of the maritime sciences and
commerce of his age, as well as the legacy of his contributions into the
21st century.
Befitting the broad range of Bowditch's activities - five commercial
voyages to the East, advancement of celestial navigation and maritime
cartography, contributions to the development of insurance and civic
institutions - we welcome papers and panel proposals that address a
broad range of aspects of the topic, historical or current, in both the
humanities and sciences. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged,
and the Bowditch Institute warmly invites participation by scholars,
teachers, and museum and historic site professionals to join us in
exploring the interconnections between maritime history, science, and
commerce in the Early Republic, as well as Bowditch's legacy in these
areas today.
The conference will take place in historic Salem seaport, and will
feature venues at the home of Nathaniel Bowditch (under restoration),
the Peabody Essex Museum, the Salem Athaneum, the Salem Maritime
National Historic Site, and Salem State College. Attendant activities
will include museum and historic site visits, including tours of the
replica 1797 merchant vessel "Friendship".
Proposals of not more than 250 words and a one-page c.v. must be
received by March 31, 2002. Send to: Dr. Dane Morrison, Chair,
Department of History, Salem State College, 352 Lafayette Street, Salem,
MA 01970, USA. E-mail: .

Transit of Venus Conference, 2004
---------------------------------
By Peter D. Hingley, London, England
This is the first announcement of a conference planned to take place in
Preston, Lancashire, England area in June 2004, to coincide with the
first Transit of Venus for 121 years, on the 7th of that month (Monday).
The main organiser is Professor Gordon Bromage of the University of
Central Lancashire. The conference will cover all aspects of distance
measurement in Astronomy, with a substantial historical element covering
subjects such as Kepler's Laws, Planetary Distances, Stellar Parallaxes,
and the Astronomical Unit problem, as well as transits as such. The
conference will also cover all aspects of modern astronomical and
cosmological distance measurement. The exact status of the conference
and the form of its publication(s) are yet to be decided. Professor
Bromage has kindly invited me to represent the historical interest on
the Committee but somebody more appropriate may be found to take over
later.
It is hoped to make arrangements for participants to safely observe the
Transit, and also, if the Lancashire weather is its usual summer self,
to arrange transmission of images from a more favoured site.
It is of course singularly appropriate for this Conference to be held in
Preston; as well as the burgeoning astronomical programme of the
University, including participation in the SALT project, there are the
historical associations; only a few miles away is Much Hoole, where
Jeremiah Horrocks made the first recorded observation of a Transit of
Venus in 1639 (see Chapman, QJRAS, 31, 333-357), and not many more miles
away is Stonyhurst College, the institution to which Father Stephen
Perry SJ gave a lifetime of service.
The Preston area is also replete with scenic beauty and historical
interest and if sufficient interest is shown by those accompanying the
delegates it may be possible to arrange visits to areas of interest such
as the Lake District, Trough of Bowland, Fylde, Bronte Country, etc.
There is more to North Lancashire than Blackpool!
