   Extractions: R obert H ooke (1635-1703) No portrait survives of Robert Hooke. His name is somewhat obscure today, due in part to the enmity of his famous, influential, and extremely vindictive colleague, Sir Isaac Newton. Yet Hooke was perhaps the single greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. His interests knew no bounds, ranging from physics and astronomy, to chemistry, biology, and geology, to architecture and naval technology; he collaborated or corresponded with scientists as diverse as Christian Huygens, Antony van Leeuwenhoek , Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle, and Isaac Newton. Among other accomplishments, he invented the universal joint, the iris diaphragm, and an early prototype of the respirator; invented the anchor escapement and the balance spring, which made more accurate clocks possible; served as Chief Surveyor and helped rebuild London after the Great Fire of 1666; worked out the correct theory of combustion; devised an equation describing elasticity that is still used today ("Hooke's Law"); assisted Robert Boyle in studying the physics of gases; invented or improved meteorological instruments such as the barometer, anemometer, and hygrometer; and so on. He was the type of scientist that was then called a virtuoso able to contribute findings of major importance in any field of science. It is not surprising that he made important contributions to biology and to paleontology.

   Extractions: Robert Hooke 's father was John Hooke who was a curate at All Saints Church in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight. Although formally a curate, since the minister was also Dean of Gloucester Cathedral and of Wells, John Hooke was left in charge of All Saints. It was a well off church being in the patronage of St John's College, Cambridge. As well as his duties in the church, John Hooke also ran a small school attached to the church and acted as a private tutor. Robert had a brother named John, the same as his father, who was five years older. Relatively few details of Robert's childhood are known. What we record here is information which he mentioned to his friends later in his life. Robert, like many children of his day, had poor health and was not expected to reach adulthood. His father was from a family in which it was expected that all the boys joined the Church (John Hooke's three brothers were all ministers) so had Robert enjoyed good health as a child there is no doubt that he would have followed the family tradition. As it was Robert's parents did begin to set up his education with this in mind but he continually suffered from headaches which made studying hard. Lacking confidence that he would reach adulthood, Robert's parents gave up on his education, leaving him much to his own devices.

Hooke was origianlly buried there, but his bones were moved to 'somewhere in North London' in the 19th century, so his final burial place is unknown. He is described by two people. Firstly his friend John Aubrey, on Hooke in middle life: 'He is but of midling stature, something crooked, pale faced, and his face but little below, but his head is lardge, his eie full and popping, and not quick; a grey eie. He haz a delicate head of haire, browne, and of an excellent moist curle. He is and ever was temperate and moderate in dyet, etc.' Richard Waller knew the elderly Hooke, embittered by his controversies with Christiaan Huyghens and his feeling that he had been cheated by Newton:

   Extractions: Robert Hooke, 1635- , English chemist, mathematician, physicist, and inventor. Hooke's remarkable engineering abilities enabled him to invent and improve many mechanical devices, including timepieces (for which he invented the spiral spring), the quadrant, and the Gregorian telescope. Perhaps even more intriguing than his actual inventions are the devices he designed but never built: he anticipated the invention of the steam engine, and as early as 1684 he described a working telegraph system. At Oxford , he met Robert Boyle , who used his air pump to investigate the physical properties of gases. Hooke balanced his inventions with more pure research. In Micrographia (1665), he coined the word cell to describe the features of plant tissue he was able to discover under the microscope. He put his extensive mathematical knowledge in formulating the theory of planetary movement, which provided a basis for Sir Isaac Newton 's theories of gravitation. In 1667 he discovered the role of oxygenation in the respiratory system. Hooke was a member of the Royal Society . After the Great Fire of 1666, he was chosen to design New Bethlehem Hospital in London, better known as Bedlam.

Though Boyle's portrait survives, we have no idea what has happened to that of Hooke. It is curious, furthermore, that when Richard Waller edited Hooke's Posthumous Works for the Royal Society in 1710 he did not have this picture engraved to form a frontispiece to the sumptuous folio volume. On the other hand, we do possess two detailed pen-portraits of Hooke written by men who knew him well. The first was that recorded by his friend John Aubrey, and describes Hooke in middle life and at the height of his creative powers: He is but of midling stature, something crooked, pale faced, and his face but little below, but his head is lardge, his eie full and popping, and not quick; a grey eie.

    Extractions: Home Biography An Attempt to Prove the Motion of the Earth Hooke's Law ... Resources Robert Hooke was perhaps one of the most important scientists from the 17th century. While his research and findings were often overshadowed by those of his rival Sir Isaac Newton, one cannot argue their importance in the development of fields such as physics, astronomy, biology, and medicine, to name a few. One could say he was England's equivalent of 14th century genius Leonardo da Vinci , that he was a true renaissance man who was constantly seeking answers to questions, and inventing new and ingenious scientific instruments. Hooke's inventions include the spring control of the balance wheel in watches, and the first reflecting telescope. Hooke also worked as an architect, although his dreams of redesigning London following the Great Fire of 1666 were brought down to smaller proportions. One must realize that Robert Hooke's advances in the field of Microscopy and Astronomy opened doors which would one day lead to discoveries from scientists such as Dr. Edwin Hubble

12. Rocky Road: Robert Hooke
    Robert Hooke. A century before Cuvier, Robert Hooke considered the possibility that fossils could have belonged to organisms no longer living on this planet.  
    http://www.strangescience.net/hooke.htm
    
    Extractions: The name most often associated with the concept of extinction is Georges Cuvier's. But though Cuvier successfully persuaded the scientific community to accept extinction, he wasn't the first to think about it. A century before Cuvier, Robert Hooke considered the possibility that fossils could have belonged to organisms no longer living on this planet. Hooke's insight is all the more remarkable considering the period in which he lived. The pressure that the Royal Society placed on Hooke, especially in the early years, was alarming. In a three-week period in 1663, he was expected (among other tasks) to: write a paper on what should be recorded for the history of weather, prepare a thermometer made of tin, prepare a thermometer made of glass, make an artificial eye, arrange for the manufacture of a piece of concave glass that could project a picture, remove and reattach a piece of a dog's skin and record the result, make an air pump to measure the force of gunpowder, and show microscopic observations of a common fly. Even after Hooke took on substantial duties as a city surveyor, the Royal Society remained just as demanding of his time, even though it was lax in compensating him. The fault lay partially with Hooke; throughout his life, he committed himself to far more projects than anyone could realistically complete. Micrographia . Published in 1665

In 1653, Hooke won a place at Oxford . There, he met Robert Boyle , and was employed as his assistant. In 1660, he discovered Hooke's Law of elasticity , which describes the linear variation of tension with extension in an elastic spring. In 1662, Hooke was appointed Curator of Experiments to the newly founded Royal Society , and was responsible for experiments performed at its meetings. In 1665, he published a book entitled Micrographia , which contained a number of microscopic and telescopic observations, and some original biology. Indeed, the biological term cell is attributed to Hooke.

    Extractions: English scientist who had worked as an assistant in Boyle's lab. He published Micrographia in 1665, which was the first treatise on microscopic principles and observations. Hooke made many discoveries in microanatomy, and discovered the porous structure of cork which he termed "cells." He viewed cells simply as a container, however, and not as the basic unit of life. He also, like Boyle , performed numerous experiments with the air pump and showed that air was necessary for life and combustion. Hooke reveled in contradicting Newton Boyle Newton
