Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Astronomy
ISBN: 9783031461125 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Astronomy is a field concerned with matters very distant from Earth. Most phenomena, whether observed or theorized, transcend human spaces and timescales by orders of magnitude. Yet, many scientists have been interested not just in the events that have occurred millennia before Earth's inception, but also in their very own society here and now. Since the first half of the twentieth century, an increasing number of them have pursued parallel careers as both academics and activists. Besides publishing peer-reviewed papers, they have promoted a great variety of underrepresented groups... Astronomy is a field concerned with matters very distant from Earth.

Space Science and the Arab World: Astronauts, Observatories and Nationalism in the Middle East
ISBN: 9781788310147 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When Sultan bin Salman flew on the shuttle Discovery in 1985, he was the first Arab, Muslim, and member of a royal family in space. Twenty-five years later, the discovery of a planet 500 light-years away by the Qatar Exoplanet Survey--subsequently named "Qatar-Ib"--was evidence of the cutting-edge space science projects taking place across the Middle East. This book identifies the individuals, institutions, and national ideologies that enabled Arab astronomers and researchers to gain support for space exploration when governments lacked interest. Jorg Matthias Determann shows that the...

Historiography in Saudi Arabia: Globalization and the State in the Middle East
ISBN: 9781780766645 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Saudi Arabia is generally and justifiably viewed as a country with some of the fewest democratic institutions and the weakest traditions of pluralism. It is therefore surprising to learn that at least in one corner of the Saudi world, there can be found a plurality of opinions and lively debate. Jorg Matthias Determann brings this element to light by analyzing an important field of cultural activity in Saudi Arabia: historical writing. Since the 1920s local, tribal, Shi'i and dynastic histories have contributed to a growing plurality of narratives. Paradoxically, this happened because of the...

Researching Biology and Evolution in the Gulf States: Networks of Science in the Middle East
ISBN: 9781784531560 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Officials and religious scholars in the Gulf states have repeatedly banned the teaching and researching of the theory of evolution because of its association with atheism. But Jorg Matthias Determann argues here that, despite official prohibition, research on biological evolution has flourished, due in large part to the development of academic and professional networks. This book traces these networks through the history of various branches of biology, including botany, conservation research, ornithology and palaeontology. Typical of rentier societies, some of the scientific networks in this...
