This narrative provides a history of the Jesuit institutions in which these discoveries were made, many of which were established in countries that previously had no scientific institutions whatsoever, thus generating a scientific and educational legacy that endures to this day. The article also focuses on the teaching and research that took place at Jesuit universities and secondary schools, as well as the order’s creation of a worldwide network of seventy-four astronomical and geophysical observatories where particularly important contributions were made to the fields of terrestrial magnetism, microseisms, tropical hurricanes, and botany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“By establishing the who’s who and what’s what of modern Jesuit science, Udías is effectively clearing the ground for other scholars, much in the spirit of the series in which it appeared […]. For those who are venturing for the first time on the territory of modern Jesuit science, I recommend this work as a mine of research topics.” - Jean-Olivier Richard, University of Toronto, in: Journal of Jesuit Studies, Vol. 7, No. 4 (2020), pp. 694-697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJesuits and the Natural Sciences in Modern Times, 1814–2014   Agustín Udías   Abstract   Keywords   1 Introduction   2 A New Beginning   3 Science in the Training of Jesuits and the Tension between Scholastic Philosophy and Modern Science   4 Science in Jesuit Universities, Colleges, and Secondary Schools   5 The New Observatories   6 The Earth’s Magnetism   7 Jesuit Meteorological Stations   8 Tropical Hurricanes   9 Earthquakes and Seismology   10 The Tradition in Mathematics   11 The New Naturalists and Biologists   12 Jesuit Scientists in Non-Jesuit Institutions   13 Recent Developments   14 Jesuit Scientists and Ignatian Spirituality   15 Conclusion   Bibliography","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210771587415,"sku":"9789004394896","price":71.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/jesuits-and-the-natural-sciences-in-modern-times-1814-2014-brills-research-perspectives-in-jesuit-studies-9789004394896","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
