 William Crookes
Crookes, Sir William 1832-1919, man of science, was born in London 17 June 1832, the eldest son of Joseph Crookes, a tailor of north-country origin, by his second wife, Mary Scott.
The breadth of his interests, ranging over pure and applied science, economic and practical problems, and psychical research, made him a well-known personality, and he received many public and academic honours.
He was a man of science in the broadest sense, an influential personality, and a doyen of his profession.

The first two sections complement each other, despite the hard science emphasis of the one and the New Wave trappings of the other, since the same events are detailed first from the point of view of Earthmen and then of para-men.
By tracing the literary and ideological antecedents of the form--and by examining, in particular, the strong influence of European Gothic romance on the works of Zamyatin, Huxley, and Orwell--I hope to show that the antiutopia was, at least originally, a continuation of utopianism, even though its intrinsic ambiguity may have rendered it ineffective as such.
It is important to the view the constructional principles and the modes of narration of such texts in the context of literary history so as to bridge the gap between the theoretical and historical approaches to such fictional forms.

 George Locke- An English Science-Fiction Magazine, 1919.
There was one type of British periodical, however, which was potentially a "natural" for a special SF issue: the "Christmas Annual." A good many British magazines from the 1870s onwards produced special Christmas numbers, usually "out-of-series." In addition, a number of publications were issued annually and therefore qualified as magazines in their own right.
Hard science remained largely in the background and most of the contributors concentrated on social speculations.
Many of the forecasts were inevitable in view of the events that had occurred about the time they were conceived (women receiving the vote in 1918, the Russian revolution, and the advance of aviation accelerated by World War One), and therein lies the importance of that fugitive magazine.

Techno-enthusiasts such as Hugo Gernsback spread the message of engineering and science, and hobbyists built and tinkered with radios as avidly as they would with personal computers six decades later, and the magazine was the medium for spreading that message.
The line between Fantasy and Science Fiction was blurred indeed; the term "science fiction" not having yet been invented.
Science projected the world to last for millions of years, but whether that future would be glorious or monstrous could not be determined.

Science educators such as Hewson and Thorley (1989), Novak (1991) and Thorley and Stofflett (1996) argue that effective learning of science results in a broad, complex conceptual ecology.
We do believe that if science teachers have some formal study in the nature of science they are more likely to examine their perspectives in light of nature of science scholarly work.
It is reasonable for science teachers to recognize that learning science often involves students in acts of cultural border crossing (Aikenhead, 1996; Cobern and Aikenhead, 1998; Aikenhead and Jegede, 1999), borders derived from the ternary interaction of student culture, teacher culture, and the culture of science.

 Institute for Sexual Science, 1919-1933 - (informations)
In 1919, after the founding of the Weimar Republic, Magnus Hirschfeld realized his dream of opening an Institute for Sexual Science.
The Institute's staff combined sexual science and sexual politics with a scientific method of argumentation, a strategy which, despite a plethora of actions and alliances, was to prove unsuccessful when it came to the decriminalization of same-sex sexual activities.
The lay and professional associations for sexual science and sexual reform either ceased operations altogether or conformed to National Socialist gender ideology.
