Alfred Lothar Wegener & Harry Fielding Reid: Scientists & Adventurers
ISBN: 9781479244843 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Alfred Lothar Wegener & Harry Fielding Reid had at least four characteristics in common. First, they were trained scientists: Wegener in astrology, Reid in physics. Second, they were interested in a different science: both liked glaciers and geology, and Wegener studied weather, and Reid in earthquakes and tsunamis. Third, each developed a new theory: Wegener thought of continental drift, and Reid elastic rebound. Fourth, they were not just scientists ? they were adventurers, Wegener went several times to Greenland (and died there), and Reid went to San Francisco, Puerto Rico and other...

Decision Science and Technology: Reflections on the Contributions of Ward Edwards
ISBN: 9781461373155 / Angielski / Miękka / 434 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Decision Science and Technology is a compilation of chapters written in honor of a remarkable man, Ward Edwards. Among Ward's many contributions are two significant accomplishments, either of which would have been enough for a very distinguished career. First, Ward is the founder of behavioral decision theory. This interdisciplinary discipline addresses the question of how people actually confront decisions, as opposed to the question of how they should make decisions. Second, Ward laid the groundwork for sound normative systems by noticing which tasks humans can do well and which...

Life of David Lack: Father of Evolutionary Ecology
ISBN: 9780199922642 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most people who have taken a biology course in the past 50 years are familiar with the work of David Lack, but few remember his name. Almost all general biology texts produced during that period have a figure showing the beak size differences among the finches of the Galapagos Islands from Lack's 1947 classic, Darwin's Finches. Lack's pioneering conclusions in Darwin's Finches mark the beginning of a new scientific discipline, evolutionary ecology. Tim Birkhead, in his acclaimed book, The Wisdom of Birds, calls Lack the 'hero of modern ornithology.' Who was this influential, yet relatively...

A Life Constructed: Reflections on Breaking Barriers and Building Opportunities
ISBN: 9781557536587 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Growing up on the south side of Chicago in a poor, black, working-class neighborhood, Delon Hampton realized early on that any success he would achieve in life, he had to create on his own. Having earned a place at college, he decided to focus on civil engineering. After completing his graduate and PhD studies at Purdue University, Hampton entered a career that was not always welcoming to an African American--first as an academic and then, in 1973, as the founder of Delon Hampton & Associates (DHA), an engineering consulting firm based in Washington, DC. Over the last forty years, DHA has...

Maud Leonora Menten, MD & PhD: Scientist, Doctor, Female Pioneer
ISBN: 9781482024456 / Angielski / Miękka / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Maud Leonora Menten was a very successful woman Canadian scientist and physician. She had both an MD and PhD degrees. Her name is known primarily for something she accomplished very early in her career, in collaboration with her mentor, the Michaelis-Menten Equation. However, she had a very long and successful career in many research areas, both in medically related fields, primarily in Pittsburgh, PA. But don't think she stayed the whole time in labs or hospital rooms - she also liked to paint, to hike up mountains, and drive her old car. This book includes a timeline of other events and...
