Excerpt from Biological Lectures: Delivered at the Marine Biological Laboratory of Wood's Holl; In the Summer Session of 1895 The science Of biology in its widest sense comprises the study of life in all its forms and activities, both normal and abnormal. For this reason I shall not apologize for bringing before you a subject closely related to pathology, a branch which is concerned only with the abnormal forms and activities of life.

Current Ornithology publishes authoritative, up-to-date, scholarly reviews of topics selected from the full range of current research in avian biology. Topics cover the spectrum from the molecular level of organization to population biology and community ecology. The series seeks especially to review (1) fields in which an abundant recent literature will benefit from synthesis and organization, or (2) newly emerging fields that are gaining recognition as the result of recent discoveries or shifts in perspective, or (3) fields in which students of vertebrates may benefit from comparisons of birds with other classes. All chapters are invited, and authors are chosen for their leadership in the subjects under review.

Drawing on different theorems and approaches, it offers a unified theory and a poetics of Future Narratives. Locating the media-historical moment of their emergence, this volume paves the way for the following volumes, which deal with how Future Narratives are refracted through different media.
