The bill had broad support because the trains ' owner, Jay Gould, was unpopular, and his fare increases were widely denounced.

Cleveland saw the bill as unjust — Gould had taken over the railroads when they were failing and had made the system solvent again.

Gould met with Powderly and agreed to call off his campaign against the Knights of Labor, which had caused the turmoil originally.

In what Stephen Jay Gould has called " glorious purple prose ," Gosse argued that if one assumed creation ex nihilo, there would necessarily be traces of previous existence that had never actually occurred.

Gould recalls that " Eldredge's 1971 publication Paleozoic trilobite s had presented the only new and interesting ideas on the paleontological implications of the subject — so I asked Schopf if we could present the paper jointly.

To this end, Gould later commented that " Most of our paleontological colleagues missed this insight because they had not studied evolutionary theory and either did not know about allopatric speciation or had not considered its translation to geological time.

He had met Gould in England while filming Straw Dogs, and she had since been his companion and a part-time crew member.

" I had no idea there were such things — I was awestruck ," Gould once recalled.

After a difficult two-year recovery, Gould published a column for Discover magazine, entitled, " The Median Isn't the Message ", which discusses his reaction to discovering that mesothelioma patients had a median lifespan of only eight months after diagnosis.

Considering that the cancer was detected early, the fact he was young, optimistic, and had the best treatments available, Gould figured that he should be in the favorable half of the upper statistical range.

According to Gould, his use of marijuana had a " most important effect " on his eventual recovery.

Gould died on May 20, 2002, from a metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung, a form of cancer which had spread to his brain.

" Gould and Lewontin asserted that it is Panglossian for evolutionary biologists to view all traits as atomized things that had been naturally selected for, and criticised biologists for not granting theoretical space to other causes, such as phyletic and developmental constraints.

Given Cerion's extensive geographic diversity, Gould later lamented that if Christopher Columbus had only cataloged a single Cerion it would have ended the scholarly debate about which island Columbus had first set foot on in America.

Gould had died two days before the episode aired.

The much reduced constellation lost several brighter stars to neighbouring constellations: Beta Telescopii became Eta Sagittarii, which it had been before Lacaille placed it in Telescopium, Gamma was placed in Scorpio and renamed G Scorpii by Benjamin Gould, Theta Telescopii reverted to its old appellation of d Ophiuchi, and Sigma Telescopii was placed in Corona Australis.

Gould describes Morton's rather imprecise technique of filling skulls with bird seed to obtain endocranial-volume data and how Morton had probably pushed down bird seed in the white skulls so that they had more volume.

In a study published in 1988, John S. Michael reported that Samuel G. Morton ’ s original 19th-century data were more accurate than Gould had described ; that " contrary to Gould's interpretation.

Furthermore, Davis accused Gould of having misrepresented a study by Henry H. Goddard ( 1866 – 1957 ) about the intelligence of Jewish, Hungarian, Italian, and Russian immigrants to the U. S., wherein Gould reported Goddard's qualifying those people as " feeble-minded "; whereas, in the initial sentence of the study, Goddard said the study subjects were atypical members of their ethnic groups, who had been selected because of their suspected sub-normal intelligence.

Mike Smith took the Wales manager role for the second time at the start of the Euro 96 qualifiers but Wales slipped to embarrassing defeats against Moldova and Georgia before Bobby Gould was appointed in June 1995.

In the DVD commentary for the episode, Gould says that, when the team were thinking of a way to start the show, George Meyer said, " I like how kids will just dig a hole.

Gould encounters a now captured Rudi, nods to him, and then helps an injured German soldier whom he recognizes from the massacre at the start of the film.

However, the data he used originated back to epoch B1875. 0, which was when Benjamin A. Gould first made the proposal to designate boundaries for the celestial sphere, a suggestion upon which Delporte would base his work.

Michael Gambon played John Harrison, and Jeremy Irons played Rupert Gould, who restored Harrison's timepieces for posterity in the mid-20th century.

Stephen Jay Gould shared similar views regarding a heuristic role for dialectical materialism.

His theory of peripatric speciation ( a more precise form of allopatric speciation which he advanced ), based on his work on birds, is still considered a leading mode of speciation, and was the theoretical underpinning for the theory of punctuated equilibrium, proposed by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould.

During the golden age of bohemianism, Greenwich Village became famous for such eccentrics as Joe Gould ( profiled at length by Joseph Mitchell ) and Maxwell Bodenheim, dancer Isadora Duncan, writer William Faulkner, and playwright Eugene O ' Neill.

In The Mismeasure of Man ( 1996 ), paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould criticized IQ tests and argued that that they were used for scientific racism.

LASER notebook: First page of the notebook wherein Gordon Gould coined the LASER acronym, and described the technology | technologic elements for constructing the device.

* ( with AA Gould ) Principles of Zoology for the use of Schools and Colleges ( Boston, 1848 )

Gould edited the entire manuscript for better consistency.

While Gould is celebrated for the color and energy of his prose, as well as his massive interdisciplinary knowledge, critics such as Scott have concerns that the theory has gained undeserved credence among non-scientists because of Gould's rhetorical skills.

While attending Antioch College in the early 1960s, Gould was active in the civil rights movement and often campaigned for social justice.

Interspersed throughout his scientific essays for Natural History magazine, Gould frequently referred to his nonscientific interests and pastimes.

After an experimental treatment of radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, Gould made a full recovery, and his column became a source of comfort for many cancer patients.

Gould survived for 20 years until another cancer ended his life.

But Gould did not rule out sociobiological explanations for many aspects of animal behavior, writing: " Sociobiologists have broadened their range of selective stories by invoking concepts of inclusive fitness and kin selection to solve ( successfully I think ) the vexatious problem of altruism — previously the greatest stumbling block to a Darwinian theory of social behavior ...

" Gould and Lewontin thus defined spandrels in evolutionary biology to mean any biological feature of an organism that arises as a necessary side consequence of other features, which is not directly selected for by natural selection.

In a 1982 essay for Natural History Gould wrote:

Gould received many accolades for his scholarly work and popular expositions of natural history ,< ref >

The revised and expanded, second edition of the Mismeasure of Man ( 1996 ) analyzes and challenges the methodological accuracy of The Bell Curve ( 1994 ), by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray, which re-presented the arguments of what Gould terms biological determinism, which he defines as " the abstraction of intelligence as a single entity, its location within the brain, its quantification as one number for each individual, and the use of these numbers to rank people in a single series of worthiness, invariably to find that oppressed and disadvantaged groups — races, classes, or sexes — are innately inferior and deserve their status.

As an evolutionary biologist and historian of science, Gould accepted biological variability ( the premise of the transmission of intelligence via genetic heredity ), but opposed biological determinism, which posits that genes determine a definitive, unalterable social destiny for each man and each woman in life and society.
