Discovery and Classification in Astronomy: Controversy and Consensus
ISBN: 9781107033610 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Astronomical discovery involves more than detecting something previously unseen. The reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006, and the controversy it generated, shows that discovery is a complex and ongoing process one comprising various stages of research, interpretation, and understanding. Ranging from Galileo's observation of Jupiter's satellites, Saturn's rings, and star clusters, to Herschel's nebulae and the modern discovery of quasars and pulsars, Steven J. Dick's comprehensive history identifies the concept of extended discovery as the engine of progress in astronomy. The...

The Living Universe: NASA and the Development of Astrobiology, First Paperback Edition
ISBN: 9780813537337 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Living Universe is a comprehensive, historically nuanced study of the formation of the new scientific discipline of exobiology and its transformation into astrobiology. Among many other themes, the authors analyze how research on the origin of life became wedded to the search for life on other planets and for extraterrestrial intelligence. Many scientific breakthroughs of the last forty years were either directly supported or indirectly spun off from NASA's exobiology program, including cell symbiosis, the discovery of the Archaea, and the theories of Nuclear Winter and the...

ISBN: 9781780396958 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 674 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. At a May 1981 "Proseminar in Space History'' held at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum (NASM) in Washington, DC, historians came together to consider the state of the discipline of space history. It was an historic occasion. The community of scholars interested in the history of spaceflight was not large; previously, well-meaning but untrained aficionados consumed with artifacts had dominated the field, to the exclusion of the larger context. At a fundamental level, this proseminar represented a "declaration of independence'' for what might be called the "new...
