Fritz London: A Scientific Biography
ISBN: 9780521023191 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Fritz London was one of the twentieth century's key figures in the development of theoretical physics and chemistry. A quiet and self-effacing man, he was one of the founders of quantum chemistry, and was also the first to suggest that superconductivity and superfluidity could be viewed as macroscopic quantum phenomena. This thoroughly researched biography gives a detailed account of London's life and work, and, by following his correspondence with other leading physicists and chemists (such as Erwin Schrodinger, Walter Heitler, Max Born, John Bardeen, Max von Laue and Brian Pippard),...

Through Measurement to Knowledge: The Selected Papers of Heike Kamerlingh Onnes 1853-1926
ISBN: 9789401074339 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. "Tile; D'apC: Tile; l. DpWTa ()coi 7rpo7rapod)w D'T}K, mi'. "between us and Goodness the gods have placed the sweat of our brows." This quote from Isiodos, the first lyrical poet, is jotted on a sheet of paper found among the papers of Heike Kamerlingh Onnes at the Boerhaave Museum, Leiden. On this same sheet, one can also read quotes from Schiller, Goethe, Shakespeare, Homer, Pindar and Dante. Each quote is for somebody or something. It appears to have been a game played at least by Ehrenfest and Crommelin -an unmistakable sign of these two physicists's deep culture. This particular quote...

Science, Politics and Social Practice: Essays on Marxism and Science, Philosophy of Culture and the Social Sciences in Honor of Robert S. Cohen
ISBN: 9789048144372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The essays in this Festschrift are celebrations of the human mind in its manifold expressions - philosophical, scientific, historical, aesthetic, political - and in its various modes - analytical, systematic, critical, imaginative, constructive. They are offered to Robert S. Cohen on the occasion of his 70th birthday, in acknowledgment of his own extra- ordinary participation in the life of the mind, and of his unfailing encouragement and facilitation of the participation of others. It is fitting that these volumes should appear in the Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science, the series...

Methodological Aspects of the Development of Low Temperature Physics 1881-1956: Concepts Out of Context(s)
ISBN: 9789024736997 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book is primarily about the methodological questions involved in attempts to understand two of the most peculiar phenomena in physics, both occurring at the lowest of temperatures. Superconductivity (the disappearance of electrical resistance) and superfluidity (the total absence of viscosity in liquid helium) are not merely peculiar in their own right. Being the only macroscopic quantum phenomena they also manifest a sudden and dramatic change even in those properties which have been amply used within the classical framework and which were thought to be fully understood after the advent...

The articles in this volume of ARCHIMEDES examine particular cases of reception' in ways that emphasize pressing historiographical and methodological issues. Such issues arise in any consideration of the transmission and appropriation of scientific concepts and practices that originated in the several centers' of European learning, subsequently to appear (often in considerably altered guise) in regions at the European periphery. They discuss the transfer of new scientific ideas, the mechanisms of their introduction, and the processes of their appropriation at the periphery. The...

Imre Lakatos and Theories of Scientific Change
ISBN: 9789027727664 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 465 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. How happy it is to recall Imre Lakatos. Now, fifteen years after his death, his intelligence, wit, generosity are vivid. In the Preface to the book of Essays in Memory of Imre Lakatos (Boston Studies, 39, 1976), the editors wrote: ...Lakatos was a man in search of rationality in all of its forms. He thought he had found it in the historical development of scientific knowledge, yet he also saw rationality endangered everywhere. To honor Lakatos is to honor his sharp and aggressive criticism as well as his humane warmth and his quick wit. He was a person to love and to struggle with. The book...

History of Artificial Cold, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Issues
ISBN: 9789400771987 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The history of artificial cold has been a rather intriguing interdisciplinary subject (physics, chemistry, technology, sociology, economics, anthropology, consumer studies) which despite some excellent monographs and research papers, has not been systematically exploited. It is a subject with all kinds of scientific, technological as well as cultural dimensions. For example, the common home refrigerator has brought about unimaginably deep changes to our everyday lives changing drastically eating habits andshopping mentalities. From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st,...

Trends in the Historiography of Science
ISBN: 9789048142644 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The discussions of theoretical issues involved in the history of science have not received sufficient attention. This volume is a contribution to this ongoing discussion and deals with many such issues in the historiography of science, concentrating mainly on what is known as the internalist approach. The topics include ancient Greek mathematics during the Enlightenment, the physical sciences in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as discussions of the relationship between history and philosophy of science. Both beginners in the fields of history and/or philosophy of science as well as...

ISBN: 9780792322559 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The articles in this volume have been first presented during an international Conference organised by the Greek Society for the History of Science and Technology in June 1990 at Corfu. The Society was founded in 1989 and planned to hold a series of meetings to impress upon an audience comprised mainly by Greek students and scholars, the point that history of science is an autonomous discipline with its own plurality of approaches developed over the years as a result of long discussions and disputes within the community of historians of science. The Conference took place at a time when more...
