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.

Climate Change Education: Goals, Audiences, and Strategies:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Forrest, Sherrie / Feder, Michael A., PUBLISHER: National Academies Press, The global scientific and policy community now unequivocally accepts that human activities cause global climate change. Although information on climate change is readily available, the nation still seems unprepared or unwilling to respond effectively to climate change, due partly to a general lack of public understanding of climate change issues and opportunities for effective responses. The reality of global climate change lends increasing urgency to the need for effective education on earth system ong>scienceong>, as well as on the human and behavioral dimensions of climate change, from broad societal action to smart energy choices at the household level. The public's limited understanding of climate change is partly the result of four critical challenges that have slowed development and delivery of effective climate change education. As one response to these challenges, Congress, in its and appropriation process, requested that the National ong>Scienceong> Foundation (NSF) create a program in climate change education to provide funding to external grantees to improve climate change education in the United States. To support and strengthen these education initiatives, the Board on ong>Scienceong> Education of the National Research Council (NRC) created the Climate Change Education Roundtable. The Roundtable convened two workshops. Climate Change Education Goals, Audiences, and Strategies is a summary of the discussions and presentations from the first workshop, held October 21 and . This report focuses on two primary topics: public understanding and decision maker support. It should be viewed as an initial step in examining the research on climate change and applying it in specific policy circumstances.

In Defense of Science: Why Scientific Literacy Matters

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Spellman, Frank R. / Price-Bayer, Joni, PUBLISHER: Government Institutes, Today, only a few people outside of the scientific community are conversant with the tradition of ong>scienceong> and its many breakthroughs. The rest are scientifically illiterate. So say Frank R. Spellman and Joni Price-Bayer, authors of In Defense of ong>Scienceong>: Why Scientific Literacy Matters. This book explains why ordinary citizens need to have an understanding of ong>scienceong>, its methods, and its groundbreaking discoveries. The authors introduce the most basic scientific concepts in accessible and straightforward language. Along the way they debunk several misconceptions of ong>scienceong> and scientists, and arrive at a view of ong>scienceong> as an integral part of society, policy, and everyday life. The book begins with an introduction to ong>scienceong> and its basic concepts, including a brief and entertaining history of ong>scienceong> and scientific discoveries, before taking on current views of ong>scienceong> in society. It surveys the many sources of our ideas of ong>scienceong>, including pop culture, classics of literature, news media, and political discourse. Much of the information from these sources tends to mislead, and the only way to guard against such misinformation is to become scientifically literate, and promote scientific literacy in society. The book therefore delves into the reasons that so many people do not understand basic scientific principles and do not keep up with scientific breakthroughs, and finishes by examining the current state of ong>scienceong> education. It includes many resources for further reading, and is presented in an engaging and entertaining way. It offers much food for thought for anyone concerned with ong>scienceong> in today's world.

Scientific Knowledge: Discovery of Nature or Mental

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Settanni, Harry, PUBLISHER: University Press of America, This book defends the constructivist view of ong>scienceong>, namely, the view that scientific theories are mental constructions in the mind of the scientist, rather than the realist view that scientific theories are accounts of what nature itself is like. To prove this point, evolution theory is contrasted with "creation ong>scienceong>" as two paradigms or extremely divergent theories, each of which, as a mental construct, explains the data or facts of the natural world equally well. Contents: Realism vs. Constructivism; Meaning and Reference in the Natural ong>Scienceong>s; The Role of Paradigm in the Creationism Controversy; ong>Scienceong> As Mental Construction.
