Product Information

Arber, A. (1920). Water Plants: A Study of Aquatic Angiosperms. Cambridge. doi: 10.5962/bhl.title.95477. Agnes Arber Gin is a top-shelf spirit that showcases the finest botanicals of the English countryside. This gin is made with a blend of nine herbs and fruits, including juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, and lemon peel. The biggest challenges we’ve encountered have been launching these gins at a time when the gin wave was in full swing. In a highly saturated market, it was a huge worry for us whether we’d be able to cut through and make some noise when there was already so many superb gins about.

Her studies on the philosophy of plant morphology led her to take a broader view of the links between science and philosophy. [4] The Mind and the Eye: A Biologist's Standpoint published in 1954 provides an introduction to biological research and develops a methodology for performing this research. Arber describes research as taking place in six stages: the identification of research question or topic; the collection of data through experiments or observation; the interpretation of the data; testing the validity of the interpretation; communicating the results; and considering the research in context. For Arber, the context includes interpreting the result in terms of history and philosophy and covers half of the book. Arber's book is distinctive in that it was written before Thomas Kuhn demonstrated that scientist's views are influenced by the views of others in their field and before Ernst Mayr's criticism of describing the philosophy of biology in the same way as the philosophy of physics.

'The Many Sides of Agnes Arber' Arber had been introduced to the work of Goethe while at school and remained fascinated by his ideas about botany. [4] In 1946 she published Goethe's Botany, a translation of Goethe's Metamorphosis of Plants (1790) and Georg Christoph Tobler's (1757–1812) Die Natur with an introduction and interpretation of the texts.A few years after Agnes arrived in Cambridge, she started working at the Balfour Laboratory, which was owned by Newnham College and was a place for teaching women. Now, the creation of this laboratory was a direct result of allowing women admittance into Cambridge. And although women could attend Cambridge, they could not go to labs or classes, and so the Balfour Lab became their only option for conducting experiments. Sadly, Agnes and Edward would be married for only nine years as Edward died in 1918. And so, before her 40th birthday, Agnes found herself both a widow and a single mother to six-year-old Muriel. After securing help with childcare and household duties, Agnes carried on with her botanical work - she wrote constantly, she was poorly compensated for her work, and she never re-married.

The gins are distilled at Langley’s Distillery in Hertfordshire, in a 500 litre copper pot still, affectionately named Jenny. Jenny is actually one of the oldest working copper pot stills in the UK. Today is the birthday of the British plant morphologist and anatomist, botanical historian, and philosopher of biology Agnes Arber. Since her father was the artist Henry Robertson, Agnes learned to draw as a child, and throughout her life, she illustrated all of her own botanical work. Agnes’ mom, also an Agnes, fostered her love of plants. stated she liked working at home due to challenges posed by independent research, despite not originally making the choice herself. [2] The standard across the board was exceptional - and makes it easy to see why gin lovers continue to favour the category.”

Agnes Robertson was born on 23 February 1879 in Primrose Hill, London. [2] She was the first child of Henry Robert Robertson, an artist, and Agnes Lucy Turner, and had three younger siblings, Donald Struan Robertson (who later became Regius Professor of Greek in the University of Cambridge), Janet Robertson, who later became a portrait painter, and Margaret Robertson (married name Hills), who was a notable suffragist and local politician. Her father gave her regular drawing lessons during her early childhood, which later provided her with the necessary skills to illustrate her scientific publications herself. [3] Her final book, The Manifold and the One published in 1957 is concerned with wider philosophical questions. The book is a wide-ranging and syncretic survey, drawing on literary, scientific, religious, mystical and philosophical traditions, incorporating Buddhist, Hindu and Taoist philosophy with European philosophy., [4] in pursuit of a discussion of the mystical experience which Arber defines as "that direct and unmediated contemplation which is characterised by a peculiarly intense awareness of a Whole as the Unity of all things". [11] Recognition and awards [ edit ] At the age of eight Robertson began attending the North London Collegiate School founded and run by Frances Buss, one of the leading proponents for girls' education. Under the direction of the school's science teacher Edith Aitken, Robertson discovered a fascination with botany, publishing her first piece of research in 1894 in the school's magazine and later coming first in the school's botany examinations, winning a scholarship.
