Scientific Growth: Essays on the Social Organization and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ben-David, Joseph, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, A pioneer and major thinker in ong>theong> sociology of science, Joseph Ben-David wrote with refreshing directness on questions central to ong>theong> history and sociology of science. As ong>theong>y are combined here, Ben-David's essays reveal ong>theong> richness and synong>theong>tic power of his intellect in a way his separate publications never did. Two ong>theong>mes form ong>theong> heart of Ben-David's ground-breaking work: ong>theong> emergence, existence, and growth of science as a distinctive activity within society, governed by a specific "scientific ethos"; and ong>theong> social construction both of new objects of scientific study and of new scientific disciplines. Ben-David argues that only where ong>theong> scientist's social role is institutionalized (i.e., recognized as legitimate by society at large), can science as a sustained and continuous activity exist and thrive. By ong>theong> same token, new scientific objects and disciplines emerge where social circumstances encourage and sustain new ("hybridized") social roles. Ben-David's is a distinctly historical sociology of science, providing a ong>theong>oretical framework capable of integrating both ong>theong> historical and ong>theong> synchronic approaches; it is also complementary to ong>theong> perspective of ong>theong> sociology of scientific knowledge.

Sharks of the World

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Steel, Rodney, PUBLISHER: ong>Factsong> on File, Ever since ong>theong> hit film Jaws, ong>theong> terrifying image of ong>theong> shark as a mindless killing machine has firmly imprinted itself on many of us.

Incredible photographs offer a glimpse into ong>theong> shark's wide jaws and toothy mouth, and of an incredible variety of species, including ong>theong> handsome zebra shark, sand tiger, and nurse shark.

On Creativity

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