by A.J. Cain, University of Manchester
A series of nine talks in which scientists of various disciplines talk about concepts crucial to their field of study
It's said God made all creatures great and small - and if you're a biologist it helps to be able to name each kind, each species. But evolution is - and always has been - changing kind into new kind: species changes with time. If species is only a word, then it's a very helpful word: the example par excellence of a scientist's tool.

Four talks on the impact of painting on English poetry in the mid-nineteenth century 1: Types and Emblems by IAN FLETCHER
Mr. Fletcher argues that the Pre-Raphaelite concentration on typelogy takes its origin from the revival of emblem books by the Oxford Tractarian Movement and that Rossetti, for example, ' modulates Christianity in a persona] way just as if it were a myth '
