Einstein's Clocks, Poincare's Maps: Empires of Time
ISBN: 9780393326048 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Clocks and trains, telegraphs and colonial conquest: the challenges of the late nineteenth century were an indispensable real-world background to the enormous theoretical breakthrough of relativity. And two giants at the foundations of modern science were converging, step-by-step, on the answer: Albert Einstein, an young, obscure German physicist experimenting with measuring time using telegraph networks and with the coordination of clocks at train stations; and the renowned mathematician Henri Poincare, president of the French Bureau of Longitude, mapping time coordinates across continents....

The Disunity of Science: Boundaries, Contexts, and Power
ISBN: 9780804725620 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 584 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Is science unified or disunified? Over the last century, the question has raised the interest (and hackles) of scientists, philosophers, historians, and sociologists of science, for at stake is how science and society fit together. Recent years have seen a turn largely against the rhetoric of unity, ranging from the please of condensed matter physicists for disciplinary autonomy all the way to discussions in the humanities and social sciences that involve local history, feminism, multiculturalism, postmodernism, scientific relativism and realism, and social constructivism. Many of these...

Image and Logic: A Material Culture of Microphysics
ISBN: 9780226279176 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 982 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) "I want to get at the blown glass of the early cloud chambers and the oozing noodles of wet nuclear emulsion; to the resounding crack of a high-voltage spark arcing across a high-tension chamber and leaving the lab stinking of ozone; to the silent, darkened room, with row after row of scanners sliding trackballs across projected bubble-chamber images. Pictures and pulses--I want to know where they came from, how pictures and counts got to be the bottom-line data of physics." (from the preface) Image and Logic is the most detailed engagement to date with the impact of modern...

Objektivität
ISBN: 9783518300589 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 574 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Ausgangspunkt dieser zum Standardwerk gewordenen Studie ist ein Kernbegriff der neuzeitlichen Wissenschaft. Objektivität, so zeigt sich, hat eine Geschichte, die voller Überraschungen steckt. Lorraine Daston und Peter Galison zeichnen sie nach, vom 18. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart, und zeigen unter anderem, dass die Herausbildung eines solchen erkenntnistheoretischen Ideals mit alltäglichen Praktiken der Herstellung wissenschaftlicher Bilder einhergeht. Ihr opulent illustriertes Buch richtet sich an alle, die sich für den wissenschaftshistorisch wie wissenschaftstheoretisch...

How Experiments End
ISBN: 9780226279152 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 337 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) "Galison provides excellent histories of three experimental episodes: the measurement of the gyromagnetic ratio of the electron, the discovery of the mu meson, or muon, and the discovery of weak neutral currents. These studies of actual experiments will provide valuable material for both philosophers and historians of science and Galison's own thoughts on the nature of experiment are extremely important. . . . Galison has given both philosophers and historians much to think about. I strongly urge you to read this book." Allan Franklin, "British Journal of the Philosophy of Science"...

Atmospheric Flight in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780792360377 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 383 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) All technologies differ from one another. They are as varied as humanity's interaction with the physical world. Even people attempting to do the same thing produce multiple technologies. For example, John H. White discovered more than l 1000 patents in the 19th century for locomotive smokestacks. Yet all technologies are processes by which humans seek to control their physical environment and bend nature to their purposes. All technologies are alike. The tension between likeness and difference runs through this collection of papers. All focus on atmospheric flight, a twentieth-century...

Science in Culture
ISBN: 9780765806734 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Twenty-five years ago, Gerald Holton's Thematic Origins of Scientific Thought introduced a wide audience to his ideas. Holton argued that from ancient times to the modern period, an astonishing feature of innovative scientific work was its ability to hold, simultaneously, deep and opposite commitments of the most fundamental sort. Over the course of Holton's career, he embraced both the humanities and the sciences. Given this background, it is fitting that the explorations assembled in this volume reflect both individually and collectively Holton's dual roots. In the opening essay,...

Objectivity
ISBN: 9781890951795 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Objectivity has a history, and it is full of surprises. In Objectivity, Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison chart the emergence of objectivity in the mid-nineteenth-century sciences -- and show how the concept differs from its alternatives, truth-to-nature and trained judgment. This is a story of lofty epistemic ideals fused with workaday practices in the making of scientific images. From the eighteenth through the early twenty-first centuries, the images that reveal the deepest commitments of the empirical sciences -- from anatomy to crystallography -- are those featured in...
