Theodore Haak *** Not in Gale

(1605-1690).  German-born specialist in scientific communication and organization.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/haak.html:

There is no evidence of independent scientific work by Haak. He was an active correspondent who functioned as a link, first between Hartlib's circle and the so-called Invisible College and the continent (primarily Mersenne), later between the Royal Society and the continent.  He was one of the men in the Invisible College, and John Wallis stated that Haak was the one who proposed the meetings in 1645.

Member: Royal Society, 1661-96. He became a fellow upon the nomination of John Wilkins. Member of the Council, 1677.  He was part of the Commenian circle that formed around Hartlib in the late 30s. It included Dury and Pell; he remained in close touch with Pell until Pell's death. Intensive correspondence with Mersenne on behalf of the Hartlib circle, 1639-40. In 1647-8, until Mersenne's death, Haak revived this correspondence on behalf of the Invisible College.

In the Royal Society Haak continued his earlier function as a link with the continent. He was active in the promotion and maintenance of correspondence with scientists, especially in Germany. He proposed a considerable number of visiting Germans for membership of the Royal Society.  His extensive correspondence with Pell survives.  Intimate friendship with Hooke, after 1670s.  Translated letters between Hooke and Leibniz, about 1680.

Stephen Hales

The English scientist and clergyman Stephen Hales (1677-1761) pioneered the study of plant physiology, investigated role of gases in plant metabolism, made early studies of sap circulation in plants, contributed the first major account of blood pressure, and invented a machine for ventilating buildings. Author of Vegetable Staticks (1727), credited with inaugurating the science of plant physiology, Haemastaticks (1733), which developed the work of William Harvey by describing the pressure and velocity of blood in the veins. In 1739 Hales had received the Royal Society's Copley Medal for his investigations of the complaint known as 'the stone'. He spent a great deal of time trying to develop a solvent for stones in the bladder and the kidneys and actually devised a method of extracting stones from the bladder.

Honor: Copley Prize, 1739.

Jean-Baptiste-Julien d'Omalius d'Halloy

(1783-1875).  Belgian geologist. Theistic evolutionist.  Authority on geology of the Netherlands and Belgium; did work on metamorphism and ethnography; known especially for his systematic subdivisions of geologic formations in Earth's crust (proposed 1830).  Catholic.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07120a.htm

http://88.1911encyclopedia.org/O/OM/OMALIUS_D_HALLOY_JEAN_BAPTISTE_JULIEN_D_.htm

 He was distinguished as an ethnologist, and when nearly ninety years ef age he was chosen president of the Congress of Pre-historic Archaeology (Brussels, 1872). He died on the 15th of January 1875. His chief works were: Memoires pour servir a la description giologique des Pays-Bas, de la France et de quelques contrees voisines (1828); Elements de geologie (1831, 3rd ed. 1839); Abregg de geologie (1853, 7th ed. 1862); Des races humaines, ou elements d'ethnographie (sth ed., 1869).

Edmond Halley / Edmund Halley

(1656-1742). English astronomer and geophysicist. Old-Earth advocate.  Made first complete observation of a transit of Mercury (1677) while compiling catalog of southern stars; by his suggestions, encouraged Newton to write his Principia, which Halley published (1687) at his own expense. Conducted researches in navigation, published first magnetic sea charts (1701); Savilian Professor of Geometry, Oxford (1704). Editor, Royal Society's Transactions (1685-93). Best known for his study of comets; predicted accurately the return in 1758 of comet previously observed in 1531, 1607, and 1682 (subsequently known as Halley's comet). Also credited with originating the science of life statistics by his Breslau Table of Mortality (1693).   Anglican, heterodox.

In addition to his findings concerning comets, Halley undertook a lengthy study of solar eclipses and discovered that the so-called fixed stars actually moved with respect to each other. He also wrote in favor of the theory that the universe is limitless and has no center. Halley's scientific interests, however, extended beyond astronomy. He played a major role in transforming the Royal Society from a social club into a well-respected clearinghouse for scientific ideas. He devised the first weather map and calculated the amount of salt deposited by rivers into seawater over millions of years, which allowed him to draw conclusions about the age of Earth. He also invented, developed, and tested one of the first practical diving bells. He served as chief science adviser to Peter the Great when the Russian tzar came to England in an attempt to integrate Western advances into his country's society. From 1698 to 1700, Halley commanded the Paramour, a Royal Navy ship, for a scientific expedition that studied the effects of Earth's magnetic field on magnetic needle compasses. He became Astronomer Royal in 1720 succeeding Flamsteed and continued to make astronomical observations and attend scientific meetings until shortly before his death. His full life was a testimony to the value of the pursuit of knowledge.

Terry Hamblin, MB, ChB, DM, FRCP, FRCPath*** Not in Gale
Oncologist.  Professor of Immunohaematology, University of Southampton; Consultant Haematologist at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

From Tenovus News, n. 32, Winter 2003/2004, http://www.tenovus.com/uploads/pdfbank/68pdf.pdf:

A new road that runs through the Castlepoint development in Bournemouth, England, as named "Hamblin Way" in his honor.  Hamblin recently became the fourth recipient of the prestigious Binet-Rai medal for his outstanding contribution to research into chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) from The International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. By sequencing the immunoglobulin genes of leukaemic cells, Professor Hamblin and his colleagues in Southampton and Bournemouth, Professor Freda Stevenson, Dr David Oscier and Dr Jenny Orchard, were able to show that those cases of CLL of whose genes had become mutated by passage through germinal centres in lymph nodes had a much better prognosis than those whose genes were not mutated. This heterogeneity was unexpected and against accepted wisdom, but was confirmed in a similar study by Dr Nick Chiorazzi from New York who was also awarded the medal. Both papers were published in the same issue of the medical journal 'Blood'. These observations have laid the foundations for a renaissance of the disease and it may now be possible to predict what will happen when they are first diagnosed. Some patients can be reassured that their disease will never kill them while others can be given the opportunity to have early treatment. Professor Hamblin's team are putting the final touches on designs for clinical trials to begin later this year.

Samuel Hartlib *** Not in Gale

(c. 1600-1662).  German (Prussia)-born expert in scientific organization, scientific communication, agriculture.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/hartlib.html

Hartlib attempted to establish an Office of Public Address, partly to serve as a channel of intellectual communication. He was active in promoting useful inventions and information, especially those related to agriculture and medicine.  The Comenian circle he headed was what Boyle called the "Invisible College."

Hartlib was energetic in promoting useful knowledge of all kinds, but especially on husbandry (or agriculture), on which he published a extensive number of works, most of them not by himself. Husbandry was for him an analogue of spiritual cultivation.

Hartlib published A Description of the Famous Kingdome of Maccaria, 1641, a utopian scientific state.

Nicolaas Hartsoeker *** Not in Gale

(1656-1725).  Dutch-born instrument-maker, optician, natural philosopher, physicist, embryologist.  Calvinist, then Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/hartsokr.html

He published Essai de dioptrique in 1694 plus a number of papers. The Essai also contains the exposition of a general natural philosophy.  He published a number of books on physics, which contain more on the philosophy of nature than on physics.  His observations in embryology culminated in the homunculus.

Hartsoeker was always interested in optical instruments. He claimed to have developed a method of making small glass globules for microscopes, though his priority in this is doubted. He definitely made lenses of different focal lengths, some of which survive; one lens is said to have had a focal length of 600 feet. He made a number of instruments, not just optical instruments, for the Paris observatory. He constructed a burning glass of great size.

Member: Académie Royal des Sciences, Berlin Academy

 

William Harvey

The English physician, biologist and anatomist William Harvey (1578-1657) was the founder of modern experimental physiology and the first to use quantitative methods to establish verifiability in the natural sciences.  Studied medicine under Fabricius and Galileo at Padua (1597-1602); practiced in London; physician of St. Bartholomew's Hospital (1609-43); Lumleian Lecturer at College of Physicians (1615-56); physician extraordinary to James I (1618) and Charles I (1625). Royalist in sympathy during Civil War.

Testimony: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/OUChristianFAS/harwell.htm

"As I began to pursue knowing God through Jesus Christ, I also began seeking an intellectual foundation for my beliefs. To my joy, I found that the Bible's teaching about Jesus-His life, death and resurrection-stood up to an open, objective examination. While I can't run an experiment in the laboratory to "prove" the Bible to be true, there exist solid, objective data that support its authenticity and veracity. I found that the Bible we have today could be shown to be the same Bible that was written thousands of years ago. I learned that the Bible texts show first hand knowledge of the people, culture, language and customs of the times they described; they had all the earmarks of eye witness accounts. When examined by the accepted standards for legal evidence or for authenticating ancient historical accounts, they could be shown to be reliable and accurate reports of real events. Further, the events and teachings of the Bible were true to human nature and human society. Just as importantly, they described the real me; they were able to show me who I was and how I needed to allow God to change me."

Francis Hauksbee *** Not in Gale

(c. 1666-1713).  English physicist, expert in electricity, physico-mechanical experiements, instrument-maker.  Anglican.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/hauksbee.html:

Sustained experimentation of electricity began with Hauksbee. He also performed important experiments on capillary phenomena. Also on the propagation of sound in compressed and rarified air, on freezing of water, and on elastic rebound. He measured specific gravities and refractive indices. He investigated the law of magnetic attraction and the time of fall through air.

Scientific instruments for physical experiments--an improved air pump (though no one seems able to define precisely what Hauksbee's improvements were), and what was, in effect, the first static electric or frictional electric machine, a glass globe mounted on an axle, and also a primitive electroscope to detect electric charges.

Membership: Royal Society, 1705-13.  He collaborated with Newton on experiments at the Royal Society, and influenced some of Newton's ideas, both with his capillary and with his electrical experiments.

Dr. A.R. Maxwell - April 11 2002.  "ON THE PASSING OF PROFESSOR, THE HONOURABLE,

OLIVER ST. CLAIR HEADLEY," http://www.uwi.tt/stan/docs/stan32002.pdf.

"Members of staff would by now have heard of the death in Barbados on Monday 8th April of Professor Oliver St. Clair Headley.Professor Headley joined the Department of Chemistry here at St. Augustine in 1967 as Lecturer, rose to the rank of Senior Lecturer in Inorganic Chemistry and then moved to the Department of Chemistry at Cave Hill, Barbados as Professor of Chemistry in 1992. While at the St. Augustine Campus Professor Headley served as Head of Department of Chemistry, Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences (as it was then called) and on several committees of the campus and the university.

He was a pioneering contribution to the development of teaching and research in Inorganic Chemistry at St. Augustine. Currently, one third of the lecturers in the department, including the most senior inorganic chemist on staff, were taught by him. However, it is for his research in the area of solar energy that he became best known locally, in the Caribbean region and internationally and for which he received many honours. He was proud of the national award - Companion of Honour - conferred on him by the government of his native Barbados in 1996.

At Cave Hill he was Head of the Department of Chemistry (1992 -1995) before being appointed Director of CERMES (Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies), a position he held until his untimely death. He was also the Director-designate of the Centre for Renewable Energy (CEFREN) that the government of Barbados is about to establish. Those of us who worked with Oliver Headley knew him as a man who engaged in work and hobbies alike with great passion and zeal. He served the University of the West Indies with energy and distinction and brought international acclaim and recognition to the institution.

On behalf of the Department of Chemistry, I wish to acknowledge his sterling contribution, to express our deepest sorrow at his passing and our heartfelt condolences to his family. May he rest in peace."

Maximilian Hell, S.J. *** Not in Gale

From http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/jmac/sj/scientists/hell.htm

Maximilian Hell (1720-1792) was born into a family of engineers in 1720 in the city of Selmecz (Schemnitz), Hungary. His father was the chief engineer of the local mines and his brother invented an ingenious machine to pump water out of the mine shafts. After joining the Jesuits Maximilian taught mathematics, astronomy, physics and technology and attracted large numbers to his celebrated lectures. He also was a prodigious writer having no less than 35 entries in Sommervogel's Bibliography and requiring 20 pages of narration. Both his teaching and writings promoted a popular understanding and enthusiasm for astronomy, spreading Hell's reputation throughout Europe. Among his adventures were experiments in magnetism applied to medicine. This was unchartered ground.

Dr. Joe Henson. BJU Scientists Speak Out on Creation, Evolution, and the Bible,

http://www.bju.edu/academics/cas/science/creation/panel/response1.  Henson addresses Proposition One: The Bible story of creation is but one of perhaps thousands of creation stories. To treat the Bible account as the only one that is significant shows an arrogance which stands in opposition to the humility of Jesus, the founder of Christianity. "I try not to read more into a statement than is warranted, but I would take issue with the clear implication that the Lord Jesus Christ was simply a person when, in fact, He was God Incarnate and the Creator. The Bible is the only trustworthy source of knowledge about the Lord."

Heinrich Hertz / Heinrich Rudolph Hertz

(1857-1894). German physicist.  Messianic Jew.  Professor, Karlsruhe Technische Hochschule (1885-89), Bonn (1889-94). Investigated Maxwell's electromagnetic theory of light; demonstrated (c.1886) existence of electric or electromagnetic waves, measured their length and velocity, and showed that they could be reflected, refracted, and polarized as light is; studied the discharge of electricity in rarefied gases. His discoveries led to the development of wireless telegraphy and radio. The standard unit of frequency - the Hertz - is named in his honor.

http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Heinrich%20Hertz. His nephew Gustav Ludwig Hertz was a Nobel Prize winner, and Gustav's son Carl Hellmuth Hertz invented medical ultrasonography.

Urban Hiaerne / Urban Hjarne *** Not in Gale

(1641-1724).  Swiss physician, iatrochemist, mineralogist, pharmacologist, chemist, metallurgist, natural historian.  Lutheran.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/hiaerne.html:

Hiaerne's contribution in applied chemistry included work on improved methods for producing alum and vitriols, and on rust preventatives. In the field of pure chemistry he worked on the problems concerning the formation of materials and the composition of bodies and ultimate particles. He is best known for his work on acid, which he produced through the distillation of ant specimens. He invented a varnish that kept wood from rotting.

He was a geologist and made an inventory of Sweden's minerals and natural resources (1702, 1706). This was his most interesting scientific accomplishment. He superintended the methods of mining and melting minerals. In 1682 he made a trip in Germany to study mines and melting-pots.

For a long period Hiaerne was Sweden's leading authority in medicine. He developed some medicines, some of which he distributed among the poor in Stockholm. The Laboratorium chemicum was more involved in the production of medicines than anything else.

Hiaerne developed the first spas in Sweden.

He was on the Board of Mines (Assessor in 1683, Vice Preses, 1713) and made a trip into Germany to observe methods.

Member Medical College, 1675-1724; Royal Society, 1669-1724.  He knew Borrichius in Copenhagen and Denis in Paris.  He was elected to the Collegium Medicum in 1675, and became president of the Collegium in 1696-1712.

Nathaniel Highmore / Nathaniel Heighmore *** Not in Gale

(1613-1685).  English anatomist, embryologist, physiologist, botanist, physician.  Anglican.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/highmore.html:

Corporis humani disquisitio anatomica, 1651, Highmore's most important work, was the first anatomical textbook to accept the circulation of the blood. In it he described the antrum of Highmore, which (obviously) still bears his name.  The History of Generation, 1651, was the result of Highmore's collaboration with Harvey in Oxford. It contains references to a microscope, which he (in contrast to Harvey) may have used in embryology. This work also has important observations of plants.  Both of his major works in 1651 contain a great amount of physiology. The Disquisitio clothes anatomy in the physiology of circulation.

Highmore wrote a number of medical works--Discourse of the Cure of Wounds by Sympathy, 1651 (printed with History of Generation); De passione hysterica et de affectionae hypochondriaca, 1660 (a work which engaged Highmore in a controversy with Willis ); Short Treatise . . . of Dysenteria, 1658; papers in the Philosophical Transcations (though Harvey was not a fellow), including one on the medicinal springs in East Somerset.

 

Hildegard of Bingen

Through her studies and writings, twelfth-century Benedictine abbess Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) helped German scholars to emerge from the Dark Ages by presenting a revisioning of the cosmos and the interrelationship between man and his environment.

James Hinton *** Not in Gale

From http://14.1911encyclopedia.org/H/HI/HINTON_JAMES.htm:

(1822-1875). English surgeon and author, son of John Howard Hinton (1791-1873), Baptist minister and author of the History and Topography of the United States and other works. After receiving his diploma in 1847, he was for some time assistant surgeon at Newport, Essex, but the same year he went out to Sierra Leone to take medical charge of the free laborers on their voyage thence to Jamaica, where he stayed some time. He returned to England in 1850, and entered into partnership with a surgeon in London, where he soon had his interest awakened specially in aural surgery, and gave also much of his attention to physiology. He made his first appearance as an author in 1856 by contributing papers on physiological and ethical subjects to the Christian Spectator; and in 1859 he published Man and his Dwellingplace. A series of papers entitled Physiological Riddles, in the Coruhill Magazine, afterwards published as Life in Nature (1862), as well as another series entitled Thoughts on Health (1871), proved his aptitude for popular scientific exposition. After being appointed aural surgeon to Guys Hospital in 1863, he speedily acquired a reputation as the most skilful aural surgeon of his day, which was fully borne out by his works, An Atlas of Diseases of the membrana tympani (1874), and Questions of Aural Surgery (1874).
