Dear all,
In this first day of the year I've been able to read an interesting
paper from Robert P. Crease, "Charles Sanders Peirce and the first
absolute measurement standard", published in Physics Todays, 62,
issue 12, December 2009.
Since the paper may be free downloaded from
http://physicstoday.org/resource/1/phtoad/v62/i12/p39_s1?ver=pdfcov&bypassSSO=1
I like to share this finding.
The paper seems to me a good introduction to Peirce as a scientist,
and it is particularly relevant for the project that the "Grupo de
Estudios Peirceanos" is starting on Peirce's correspondence in his
second European trip from April 1875 until August 1876:

Happy New Year to all listers,

==================================================================
"I do not call the solitary studies of a single man a science. It is
only when a group of men, more or less in intercommunication, are
aiding and stimulating one another by their understanding of a
particular group of studies as outsiders cannot understand them, that
I call their life a science."
C. S. Peirce, "The Nature of Science", MS 1334, Adirondack Summer
School Lectures, 1905
