Rough-Water Man-Elwyn Blake'S Colorado River Expeditions
ISBN: 9780874171884 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1902 the passage of the Reclamation Act and its mandate for the federal government to build dams for irrigation in the West created a need for accurate topographical surveys and geological studies of the rivers where the dams would be built. By 1920 the US Geological Survey (USGS) and other agencies had surveyed the easily accessible stretches of the Colorado river and its main tributaries. The remaining segments had yet to be charted because they were located in deep canyons that were coarsed with rapids and reachable only by boat.

Men, Women, and the Birthing of Modern Science
ISBN: 9780875803401 / Angielski / Twarda / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the early 1600s, Francis Bacon could encompass all knowledge of both the physical and the metaphysical in a single term: natural philosophy. Over the next two hundred years, however, natural philosophy gradually split into philosophy - the study of first causes and ways of knowing - and science - the study of the material world, based on direct observation and verifiable experiment. Initially, science was not an exclusively masculine domain. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, women received doctorates in physics and taught at universities. They corresponded with Descartes and...

The passion remains but the issues have changed and the arguments have become more complex. Do miracles conflict with scientific laws? How did the universe begin? Does the creation story in Genesis conflict with evolution? Hummel sets these controversies in historical perspective by telling the fascinating stories of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and Newton. Through their eyes we see how science flourished and floundered under the influence fo the church, setting the scene for modern conflicts. Then Hummel turns...

Science on the Texas Frontier: Observations of Dr. Gideon Lincecum
ISBN: 9780890967683 / Angielski / Twarda / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Edward O. Wilson has described Dr. Gideon Lincecum as "an American original, expansive passionate, and prone to make science out of what he could see with his own eyes. His life illuminates an important era, and mood, in Texas history, and he ranks as one of America's major pioneering naturalists." A most remarkable man who found himself ill at ease in "polite and fashionable society," Lincecum preferred to keep company with "kindred forms, my brother emmets and my sister worms," observing and studying nature on the nineteenth-century Texas frontier. With almost no formal education, he...

Trained as a medical doctor as well as a philosopher, he combined these practices to demonstrate to philosophers that there could be no epistemology without concrete study of the actual development of the sciences and to historians that there could be no worthwhile history of science without a philosophical understanding of the conceptual basis of all knowledge. A Vital Rationalist brings together for the first time a selection of Canguilhem's most important writings, including excerpts from previously unpublished...

Brahe, his mentor, was a flamboyant aristocrat who had spent forty years mapping the...

Isaac Newton
ISBN: 9781400032952 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Isaac Newton was born in a stone farmhouse in 1642, fatherless and unwanted by his mother. When he died in London in 1727 he was so renowned he was given a state funeral an unheard-of honor for a subject whose achievements were in the realm of the intellect. During the years he was an irascible presence at Trinity College, Cambridge, Newton imagined properties of nature and gave them names mass, gravity, velocity things our science now takes for granted. Inspired by Aristotle, spurred on by Galileo s discoveries and the philosophy of Descartes, Newton grasped the...

National Military Establishments and the Advancement of Science and Technology: Studies in 20th Century History
ISBN: 9781402002502 / Angielski / Miękka / 351 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To some philosophers, seeking to understand the human condition, technology is a necessary guide. But to think through the complex human phenomenon of technology we must tackle philosophy of science, philosophy of culture, moral issues, comparative civilizational studies, and the economics of specific industrial and military technologies in their historical contexts. The philoso- pher wants to grasp the technological factor in this troubled world, even as we see it is only one factor, and that it does not speak openly for itself. Put directly, our human troubles to a considerable extent have...

The New Science and Jesuit Science: Seventeenth Century Perspectives
ISBN: 9781402008481 / Angielski / Twarda / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "One cannot talk about mathematics in the 16th and 17th centuries without seeing a Jesuit at every corner," George Sarton observed in 1940. * Sarton, of course, was not the first to recognize the disproportionate representation of members of the Society of Jesus in the scientific enterprise of the early modern period. However, unlike many historians who belittled the discernible numerical strength of the Jesuits on the grounds that they lacked originality and were generally hostile to new ideas, Sarton correlated numerical strength with significance. Hence his plea for collecting the papers...

ISBN: 9781402010392 / Angielski / Twarda / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Research records composed of notes and protocols have long played a role in the efforts to understand the origins of what have come to be seen as the established milestones in the development of modern science. The use of research records to probe the nature of scientific investigation itself however is a recent development in the history of science.
With Eduard Dijksterhuis, we could address them as a veritable "epistemologiCal laboratory." The purpose of a workshop entitled "Reworking the Bench: Laboratory Notebooks in the History of Science," held at the Max Planck Institute for the...
