The Rise of Applied Entomology in the Rusian Empire: Governmental, Public, and Academic Responses to Insect Pest Outbreaks from 1840 to 1894
Ch. 8. P. 139–162.
Loskutova M., Fedotova A.
This chapter examines the rise of applied entomology in the nineteenth-century Russian empire from the time when certain branches of the Russian civil service began collecting field data on insect pests till the moment when the first professional positions for agricultural entomologists were established. The central theme of our research is the interaction between a small group of trained naturalists, the Russian state administration, and a broader network of provincial observers that was instrumental for the emergence of a discipline whose success ultimately depended on a stable flow of mass-produced field data. The paper explores the complex relations between the state and civil society, and between the political and academic center of St. Petersburg and regional initiatives that shaped the early history of applied entomology in Russia.

The challenges the futures studies face are particularly complex, interconnected, and contradictory, and cannot be resolved using linear approaches. Prognostic science needs tools matching the new contextual complexity, which would allow to capture a much wider range of driving forces, and their potential effects, in a non-linear perspective, to improve the accuracy of forecasts and ...

This volume is dedicated to the 'supporting actors' in the history of Egyptology, who are often outside the spotlight. It by no means intends to trivialise the achievements of the 'main characters', nor do the editors intend to instrumentalise the history of science for socio-political purposes.

The textbook narrative of the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century says that the early modern transformation of physics and mechanics was grounded in mathematization, that is, the application of mathematical principles and procedures to physical entities and events. However, such a transformation faces a major obstacle: compared to geometry, mechanics includes an additional dimension, ...
