	Robert Hooke
		Hooke's language may be archaic, but his meaning is quite modern: Dead wood could be turned to stone by the action of water rich in dissolved minerals, which would deposit minerals throughout the wood.
		Hooke realized, two and a half centuries before Darwin, that the fossil record documents changes among the organisms on the planet, and that species have both appeared and gone extinct throughout the history of life on Earth.
		A brief biography of Hooke, with a listing of his contributions to mathematics, is part of the resources in the history of mathematics maintained at the School of Mathematics of Trinity College, Dublin.

		Hooke was born on the Isle of Wight and educated at the University of Oxford.
		Hooke's most important contributions include the correct formulation of the theory of elasticity, which states that an elastic body stretches in proportion to the force that acts upon it; and analysis of the nature of combustion.
		Hooke was also a pioneer in microscopic research and published his observations, which included the discovery of plant cells.

	Robert Hooke
		Robert Hooke was born at Freshwater, Isle of Wight, son of John Hooke, curate at All Saints' Church.
		Robert Hooke was one of the most brilliant and versatile of seventeenth-century English scientists, but he is also one of the lesser known; his persona and his contributions are far outweighed in public perception by those of Newton and of Wren.
		Hooke's image of a flea is famous; perhaps less well-known is his invention of the term 'cell' in a biological context as a result of his studies of cork.

	England's Leonardo - Robert Hooke
		Robert Boyle, and Robert Hooke, however, were probably the first scientists to encounter this fact of life, for while they were not the first men to perform experiments, they were the first to undertake whole courses of experiments and, in Hooke's case, conduct them in disciplines as diverse as physics and physiology.
		Hooke's references to the use of gunpowder probably relate to the agent that was to be used to compress the artificial muscle prior to its activation.
		Hooke was an assiduous collector of data relating to the natural world, and he took particular pleasure in using the telescope and the microscope to add to it.

	Rocky Road: Robert Hooke
		Hooke was born on the Isle of Wight in 1635.
		Hooke accurately observed that, depending on where they were found, fossils varied in hardness and color, and also noted that while some fossils were complete and pristine, others were badly broken.
		Hooke may have been the first person to make one of these, and he was the first to describe its manufacture.

	Robert Hooke
		Hooke designed new tools and redesigned existing instruments for measuring the depth of the sea, air pressure, wind velocity, rain fall, and he constructed a superior micrometer.
		It is important to note that Hooke took part in the great Oxford movement, which resulted in the foundation of the Royal Society, and in fact his "Micrographia," was renowned as one of the early gems of the Society.
		Hooke wrote to Isaac Newton in 1679 asking for his opinion:- of the compounding the celestial motions of the planets of a direct motion by the tangent (inertial motion) and an attractive motion towards the central body...

	Seeing Further, The Legacy of Robert Hooke (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Robert Hooke's genius is hidden in shadows created partly by Hooke himself, but largely by Isaac Newton, a man who could not speak without contempt for Hooke, even long after Hooke's death, and who may well have taken steps to obliterate much of Hooke's contributions to science.
		Among Hooke's contributions are the correct formulation of the theory of elasticity, the kinetic hypothesis of gases and the nature of combustion.
		Hooke, and it must be said this attribute would be required of him if he was to do a proper job as curator of Experiments, flitted from one topic to another.

	Hooke biography
		Robert Hooke's father was John Hooke who was a curate at All Saints Church in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight.
		Hooke was never a person who did one thing at a time, indeed he seemed at his best when his mind was jumping from one idea to another.
		Hooke did indeed come up with a vast range of brilliant ideas many of which were claimed by others not because they wished to steal them from him, but rather because Hooke never followed through developing his ideas into building comprehensive theories.

		Robert Hooke left no clear drawings or even descriptions for either a complete flying machine or for any kind of 'artificial muscle'.
		What especially interested Hooke were the different wing-velocities of flies and bees on the one hand, and butterflies and moths on the other.
		Not until Robert Hooke published his own microscopical researches, in 1665, was it made manifest to the scientific world that the microscope revealed an organized realm of nature that was as diverse in its structures and as vast in its scale as the telescopic universe.

	The Curious Life of Robert Hooke - Lisa Jardine
		Whether Hooke is really as overlooked or underappreciated as Jardine claims is open for debate (consider, for example, the prominent place and role he has in Neal Stephenson's recent novel, Quicksilver), but he certainly has suffered some neglect.
		Hooke went to London and managed to impress at school and university, leading eventually to his coming to becoming an assistant for Robert Boyle.
		Hooke's life is hard to get a grip on, as he did so much (and lived in busy, complicated times, with politics -- scientific and otherwise -- playing an enormous role).

	Robert Hooke
		After 1655 he was employed and patronized Robert Boyle, who turned his skill to account in the construction of his air-pump.
		Hooke fulfilled the duties of secretary to the Royal Society during five years after the death of Henry Oldenburg in 1677, publishing in 1681-82 the papers read before that body under the title of Philosophical Collections.
		Grace Hooke, who had lived with him for many years, caused him deep affliction; a lawsuit with Sir John Cutler about his salary (decided, however, in his favor in 1696) occasioned him prolonged anxiety; and the repeated anticipation of his discoveries inspired him with a morbid jealousy.

	Robert Hooke 1635 - 1703 - The Inspirational Father of Modern Science
		Robert contracted smallpox as a child, surviving disfigured and scarred.
		Sadly, his father committed suicide by hanging himself when Robert Hooke was thirteen, leaving only a moderate inheritance of 40.00 pounds to Robert.
		It is possibly an early sign of his intelligence that Robert was able to combat both emotional and physical scarring, irregular schooling, and the effects of becoming orphaned at an early age.

		Hooke was the sort of man who over-reached and had too many balls in the air at once.
		Robert Hooke, when he is thought of at all, is generally remembered as the "vain, bad-tempered, quarrelsome adversary of Sir Isaac Newton", forever seeking acknowledgment that it was he, not Newton, who first published the inverse square law of gravitational attraction.
		Hooke, with his talent for taking on many roles at once, became instrumental in the reconstruction of the city, accepting the post of Chief Surveyor, and personally designing many notable buildings, including Bedlam Hospital and the Royal College of Physicians.

	The Galileo Project
		Hooke did not take a B.A. He was nominated for the M.A. by Lord Clarendon, the Chancellor of the university, 1663; I am not going to list it.
		Hooke was employed as an architect by a number of private patrons, including Boyle's sister, Lady Ranelagh.
		The relation verges on mere employment, but Hooke's dedication of his first book to Boyle, together with Boyle's continued support of him in London until Hooke had gained sufficient income and Boyle's contribution to his observing turret, all incline me to consider the relation as patronage.
