Dana, James Dwight (1813-1895) was educated at Yale University and made contributions to the fields of geology, mineralogy, and zoology. He developed classification systems that are still in use in these fields today. 

Dana, James Dwisht (1813-95) American mineralogist and geologist who classified minerals, coined the term geosyncline, studied coral-rock formation, and theorized about the evolution of the Earth s crust. He wrote the first standard reference books in geology and mineralogy.

Minerals are usually organized according to their chemical compositions. This systematic arrangement of minerals, developed by Swedish chemist Jons Berzelius, was enlarged by James and Edward Dana in the late 1800s. Dana s system, expanded and updated, is the most widely used today.

A textbook of great appeal to early American chemists is that of Frederick Accum, entitled A System of Theoretical and Practical Chemistry (item 20). Several early American chemists—Benjamin Silliman of Yale, James Freeman Dana of Dartmouth, John Gorham of Harvard—studied in his laboratory in London (J). One of the early American textbooks used in training medical students was that of Amos Eaton, a professor of natural philosophy and chemistry in the Vermont Academy of Medicine. His book is entitled Philosophical Instructor (item 30).

Muscovite mica was first used in 1850 by James Dwight Dana and is derived from the term Muscovy glass, by which it was previously known because of its widespread use as a window-glass substitute in the old Russian state of Muscovy.

First, we make a general acknowledgment to major contributors to the field of patient safety whose work we have drawn on for this book. Among them are James Reason, Karl Weick, Jens Rasmussen, Richard Cook, David Woods, and Karlene Roberts. Special thanks to Lucian Leape for writing the Foreword he has been not only a pioneer in the field but also a mentor. Don Berwick, president of the Center for Healthcare Improvement, and Jim Conway, chief operating officer of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, both in Boston, have made substantial contributions through their work, which appears in this book. 

The s)Tstematic classification of minerals according to the American Chemist and Mineralogist James Dwight Dana was the first to be established in 1837 using the Linnaen principles of taxonomy modified by Friedrich Mohs and the Berzelius system for the notation of chemical formulae. Since 1837, it was modernized to take into account recent discoveries. 

Accum had a large private laboratory in London, in which he gave practical instruction. Benjamin Silliman senr. studied there in 1804-5, and later another famous American, the mineralogist James Freeman Dana.
