Close Encounters?

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lamdourne, R. J. A. / Lambourne, Robert / Lambourne, R. J., PUBLISHER: Taylor & Francis Group, Currently, science fiction in all its forms is enjoying enormous popular interest. There can be no doubt that science fiction books and films have great influence on the public view of science and scientists. Close Encounters? examines the historical development of science fiction as a genre in books and films, tracing its roots, examining its most common ideas, exploring its relationship to real science, and attempting to assess its cultural impact. Discussion focuses on major themes such as time travel, politics, religion, ecology, and disasters. The authors consider the science in science fiction, the images of scientists that science fiction conveys, and some of the political, religious, and social motifs prominent in science fiction. They also discuss pseudo-science and its growing influence on the public perception of science. This fascinating, thought-provoking study should be read by all those interested in how the nature of science and its role in our society is portrayed in science fiction.

The Congressman's Civil War

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bogue, Allan G. / Fogel, Robert / Thernstrom, Stephan, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In the historical literature on the Civil War, the President, the generals, and the cabinet secretaries have won the war of words. Of the hundreds of men who served in the House of Representatives during this great struggle, only a handful typically appear in general discussions of the period. Yet without a deeper understanding of the contributions of the members of the Congress to the successful prosecution of the war, we cannot fully appreciate the desperate nature of that war and its significance in the building of the nation. This book explores important aspects of the Civil War from the perspective of Capitol Hill. It is an effort to survey some of the possibilities for understanding the congressmen, their relations with each other, and their interaction with President Lincoln.

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 science 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 science and technology.

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 the sociology of science, Joseph Ben-David wrote with refreshing directness on questions central to the history and sociology of science. As they are combined here, Ben-David's essays reveal the richness and synthetic power of his intellect in a way his separate publications never did. Two themes form the heart of Ben-David's ground-breaking work: the emergence, existence, and growth of science as a distinctive activity within society, governed by a specific "scientific ethos"; and the social construction both of new objects of scientific study and of new scientific disciplines. Ben-David argues that only where the 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 the 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 theoretical framework capable of integrating both the historical and the synchronic approaches; it is also complementary to the perspective of the sociology of scientific knowledge.

Struggle for Hegemony in India : The Colonial State,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Joshi, Shashi, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), Struggle for Hegemony in India describes the role of the Communist Party of India during the freedom struggle () and constructs the experience of its interaction with others as well as with social and political reality. By combining the perspectives of "history from below" with "history from above," this study sharpens the reader's understanding of historical events and processes. Moreover, the author places macro-structures such as the colonial state, political parties, trade unions, and mobilizations of workers and peasants in a context of interaction and interdependence. Students of history, sociology, and political science will find this important book essential reading. "Shashi Joshi displays considerable grasp of detail without losing sight of the broad contours of her story, which is related with fluent authority. She is clearly well-grounded in Marxist literature and has placed her thesis of Communist failure within the matrix of Marxist concepts." --Asian Affairs
