The edge of darkness

The edge of darkness

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chase, Mary Ellen, PUBLISHER: Norton, How ong>theong> mystery of ong>theong> 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 ong>theong> world's flood stories and--drawing from historic works by ong>theong>ologians, natural philosophers, and scientists--discovered ong>theong> counterintuitive role Noah's Flood played in ong>theong> development of both geology and creationism. Steno, ong>theong> grandfaong>theong>r of geology, even invoked ong>theong> Flood in laying geology's founding principles based on his observations of norong>theong>rn Italian landscapes. Centuries later, ong>theong> founders of modern creationism based ong>theong>ir 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 science, Montgomery takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. In ong>theong> process we discover ong>theong> illusive nature of truth, wheong>theong>r viewed through ong>theong> lens of science or religion, and how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Numbers, Ronald L., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, If we want nonscientists and opinion-makers in ong>theong> press, ong>theong> lab, and ong>theong> pulpit to take a fresh look at ong>theong> relationship between science and religion, Ronald Numbers suggests that we must first dispense with ong>theong> hoary myths that have masqueraded too long as historical truths. Until about ong>theong> s, ong>theong> dominant narrative in ong>theong> history of science had long been that of science triumphant, and science at war with religion. But a new generation of historians both of science and of ong>theong> church began to examine episodes in ong>theong> history of science and religion through ong>theong> values and knowledge of ong>theong> actors ong>theong>mselves. Now Ronald Numbers has recruited ong>theong> leading scholars in this new history of science to -puncture ong>theong> myths, from Galileo's incarceration to Darwin's deathbed conversion to Einstein's belief in a personal God who "didn't play dice with ong>theong> universe." ong>Theong> picture of science and religion at each oong>theong>r'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 ong>theong> myths.

Everyday Thoughts about Nature: A Worldview Investigation of

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