Excerpt: University of LeedsUniversity College London Royal InstitutionSir William Henry Bragg OM, KBE, PRS (2 July 1862 10 March 1942) was a British physicist, chemist, mathematician and active sportsman who uniquely shared a Nobel Prize with his son William Lawrence Bragg - the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics. The mineral Braggite is named after him and his son. Bragg was born at Westward near Wigton, Cumberland, the son of Robert John Bragg, a merchant marine officer and farmer, and his wife Mary née Wood, a clergyman's daughter. When Bragg was seven years old, his mother died, and he was raised by his uncle, also named William Bragg, at Market Harborough, Leicestershire. He was educated at the Old Grammar School there, at King William's College on the Isle of Man, and having won an exhibition , at Trinity College, Cambridge. He graduated in 1884 as third wrangler, and in 1885 was awarded a "first" in the mathematical tripos. In 1885, (at the age of 23), Bragg was appointed Elder Professor of Mathematics and Experimental Physics at the University of Adelaide, and started work there early in 1886. Being a skilled mathematician, at that time he had limited knowledge of physics, most of which was in the form of applied mathematics he had learnt at Trinity. Also at that time, there were only about a hundred students doing full courses at Adelaide, of whom less than a handful belonged to the science school, whose deficient teaching facilities Bragg improved by apprenticing himself to a firm of instrument makers. Bragg was an able and popular lecturer; he encouraged the formation of the student union, and the attendance, free of charge, of science teachers at his lectures. Bragg's interest in physics developed, particularly in the field of electromagnetism. ... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=396459 ... Read more

While working with the Los Angeles Parks Department he designed the exterior landscape of both the Lincoln Park and Griffith Park, and called for a city parkway that would "add to the health and happiness of its citizens." His plan was only partially implemented. In 1915, Cox, funded by John D. Rockefeller, performed the first census of trees in New York City. In his report, A Street Tree System for New York City, Borough of Manhattan, Cox found that most street trees in Manhattan to be in bad condition. Part of his recommendation was to plant 200 trees per square mile on the island. Cox advocated for a new kind of park in the U.S. National Park system that balanced the need for recreation and preservation. In 1934, Cox surveyed Ve...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=21269525 ...
