On Creativity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bohm, David / Nichol, Lee, PUBLISHER: Routledge, David Bohm is widely recognized for his significant contributions to the discussion on the relationship between art and ong>scienceong>. On Creativity is a collection of essays by Bohm, which are all related directly to the nature of creativity - primarily the latent creativity in the human mind, but interestingly enough, to the creativity in nature and the universe at large as well. A significant portion of the material draws overtly from Bohm's perceptions as a practising scientist - his notions of what underlies a paradigm shift, or how laws of nature, theories and hypotheses are perceived, rationalized and axiomatized. However, the novelty and appeal of Bohm's views of these processes is the suggestion that the work of the visual artist is remarkably similar to that of the scientist. He explores these similarities at length and even goes so far as to suggest that the creative processes of the scientist and the artist are at work in every person. On Creativity is a fascinating read for Bohm aficionados and for those interested in exploring the relation between creativity in art and ong>scienceong>.

The Science Question in Feminism

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harding, Sandra, PUBLISHER: Cornell University Press, Can ong>scienceong>, steeped in Western, masculine, bourgeois endeavors, nevertheless be used for emancipatory ends? In this major contribution to the debate over the role gender plays in the scientific enterprise, Sandra Harding pursues that question, challenging the intellectual and social foundations of scientific thought.Harding provides the first comprehensive and critical survey of the feminist ong>scienceong> critiques, and examines inquiries into the androcentricism that has endured since the birth of modern ong>scienceong>. Harding critiques three epistemological approaches: feminist empiricism, which identifies only bad ong>scienceong> as the problem; the feminist standpoint, which holds that women's social experience provides a unique starting point for discovering masculine bias in ong>scienceong>; and feminist postmodernism, which disputes the most basic scientific assumptions. She points out the tensions among these stances and the inadequate concepts that inform their analyses, yet maintains that the critical discourse they foster is vital to the quest for a ong>scienceong> informed by emancipatory morals and politics.

Evolutionary Politics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schubert, Glendon A., JR., PUBLISHER: Southern Illinois University Press, This synthesis of research into the behavior of humans and other social animals ranges horizontally from a congruence of the perspectives of the life ong>scienceong>s, social ong>scienceong>s, and physical ong>scienceong>s and longitudinally from that of the most recent 60 million years, but emphasizing the last 12 thousand years. From a political ong>scienceong> perspective, these essays focus on both individual and small-group political behavior. Schubert's work draws extensively on contemporary evolutionary theory, biosocial and psychobiological theory, ethology and primatology, behavioral ecology, experimental work in animal behavior, neurobiology, human development, and the philosophy of both life and social ong>scienceong>s. Introducing and concluding the book are essays that discuss the implications of biology and the life ong>scienceong>s for the study of political ong>scienceong>. The others center on five topics: political ethology (naturalistic study of human behavior as animal behavior); political evolution; evolutionary theory; evolutionary development (ecological, epigenetic, and ontogenetic); and the evolution of human thinking.

Galileo Goes to Jail and Other Myths about Science and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Numbers, Ronald L., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, If we want nonscientists and opinion-makers in the press, the lab, and the pulpit to take a fresh look at the relationship between ong>scienceong> and religion, Ronald Numbers suggests that we must first dispense with the hoary myths that have masqueraded too long as historical truths. Until about the s, the dominant narrative in the history of ong>scienceong> had long been that of ong>scienceong> triumphant, and ong>scienceong> at war with religion. But a new generation of historians both of ong>scienceong> and of the church began to examine episodes in the history of ong>scienceong> and religion through the values and knowledge of the actors themselves. Now Ronald Numbers has recruited the leading scholars in this new history of ong>scienceong> to -puncture the myths, from Galileo's incarceration to Darwin's deathbed conversion to Einstein's belief in a personal God who "didn't play dice with the universe." The picture of ong>scienceong> and religion at each other's throats persists in mainstream media and scholarly journals, but each chapter in "Galileo Goes to Jail" shows how much we have to gain by seeing beyond the myths.

Everyday Thoughts about Nature: A Worldview Investigation of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cobern, William W. / Cobern, W. W., PUBLISHER: Springer, The primary goal of Everday Thoughts about Nature is to understand how typical ninth-grade students and their ong>scienceong> teachers think about Nature or the natural world, and how their thoughts are related to ong>scienceong>. In pursuing this goal, the book raises a basic question about the purpose of ong>scienceong> education for the public. Should ong>scienceong> education seek to educate scientific thinkers' in the pattern of ong>scienceong> teachers? Or, should ong>scienceong> education seek to foster sound ong>scienceong> learning within the matrices of various cultural perspectives? By carefully examining the ideas about Nature held by a group of students and their ong>scienceong> teachers, Cobern argues that the purpose of ong>scienceong> education for the public is to foster sound ong>scienceong> learning within the matrices of various cultural perspectives'. Cobern's two books, World View Theory and ong>Scienceong> Education Research and now Everyday Thoughts about Nature, provide complementary accounts of theoretical and empirical foundations for worldview theory in ong>scienceong> education. While many graduate students and researchers have benefited from his earlier work, many more will continue to benefit from this book.

The edge of darkness

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chase, Mary Ellen, PUBLISHER: Norton, How the mystery of the Bible's greatest story shaped geology: a MacArthur Fellow presents a surprising perspective on Noah's Flood.In Tibet, geologist David R. Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking similarity to Noah's Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating the world's flood stories and--drawing from historic works by theologians, natural philosophers, and scientists--discovered the counterintuitive role Noah's Flood played in the development of both geology and creationism. Steno, the grandfather of geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology's founding principles based on his observations of northern Italian landscapes. Centuries later, the founders of modern creationism based their irrational view of a global flood on a perceptive critique of geology. With an explorer's eye and a refreshing approach to both faith and ong>scienceong>, Montgomery takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. In the process we discover the illusive nature of truth, whether viewed through the lens of ong>scienceong> or religion, and how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.
