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.

Exploring the Universe: Essays on Science and Technology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Day, P. / Day, Peter, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Much of our present knowledge of the universe has come from observations made over the centuries with ever more powerful telescopes, operating from isolated mountain tops. But the Hubble Space Telescope, the first to be launched into space, is revolutionizing our ability to picture and understand the universe. In Exploring the Universe, astronomer Alexander Boksenberg shows how a star is born and how the magnificent pictures taken by the Hubble Space Telescope will enable us to explore the universe in ever more depth. This selection of essays from experts in their fields - exploring subjects from magic bullets derived from traditional folk medicines, to the role ong>scienceong> can play in understanding the work of Mondrian and other artists - taken from the Royal Institution's Evening Discourses provides an authoritative and accessible summary of current thinking in many areas of ong>scienceong> and technology.

Thomas Kuhn

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bird, Alexander, PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, Thomas S. Kuhn () transformed the philosophy of ong>scienceong>. His seminal work, "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions," sold over one million copies and was translated into more than a dozen languages. It introduced the term "paradigm shift" into the vernacular and remains a fundamental text in the study of the history and philosophy of ong>scienceong>. This introduction to Kuhn's ideas situates "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" within the development of his thought over time. Alexander Bird explains Kuhn's central distinction between normal and revolutionary ong>scienceong> and then examines in detail the role played by the key notion of a paradigm in his account of radical scientific change. The book considers Kuhn's claim that the scientist's world changes when paradigms change and relates this thought to his views on perception, incommensurability, and meaning. The author engages with the main criticisms of Kuhn's philosophy. Examining Kuhn's thought in relation to its historical context as well as other more recent philosophies of ong>scienceong>, Alexander Bird argues that Kuhn's thinking betrays a residual commitment to many theses characteristic of the empiricists he set out to challenge. His book concludes by looking at Kuhn's influence on the history and philosophy of ong>scienceong> and asks where the field may be heading in the wake of Kuhn's ideas. Accessible to those with little formal philosophy training, this is an assured and engaging read for anyone interested in Kuhn's pivotal ideas.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Barrett, Katharine / Willard, Carolyn, PUBLISHER: Great Explorations in Math & ong>Scienceong> (Gems), In this series of outdoor, life-ong>scienceong> investigations for grades 3-6, the schoolyard, is the environment to be investigated. Many ecological, environmental, and life ong>scienceong> concepts are explored. Students learn biological sampling techniques; mapping and related mathematical skills are developed. In addition to temporarily collecting samples in "shake boxes," investigations focus on ants and spiders, and can be extended in many directions. Students learn that a bush may be home to a "community" of interacting plants and animals. Based on their observations and findings, students select a small area as their favorite location. Environmental writing about their favorite locations crowns the closing activity. This guide is designed to spark student curiosity about the patterns and interactions in nature, beginning with their immediate environment-the schoolyard.

The book, a product of a team effort, underwent extensive tryout and review by teachers and specialists, and it shows."-"ong>Scienceong> Books & Films," August/September "Overall this is a very thorough presentation of five excellentecological activities for children. This is the way ong>scienceong> should be taught. The investigations encourage children to learn by "doing" and to discover for themselves how organisms interact with each other and their environment. The activities are also invaluable because they foster in children an appreciation and stewardship for other living things. If they can be taught to value spiders and ants, the rest will be easy."-"The American Biology Teacher," May
