Описание:
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, North American and European governments generously funded the discoveries of such famous paleontologists and geologists as Henry de la Beche, William Buckland, Richard Owen, Thomas Hawkins, Edward Drinker Cope, O. C. Marsh, and Charles W. Gilmore. In Patrons of Paleontology, Jane Davidson explores the motivation behind this rush to fund exploration, arguing that eagerness to discover strategic resources like coal deposits was further fueled by patrons who had a genuine passion for paleontology and the fascinating creatures that were being unearthed. These early decades of government support shaped the way the discipline grew, creating practices and enabling discoveries that continue to affect paleontology today.

Описание: The problem of Galileo`s logical methodology has long interested scholars. This title offers a solution that is backed by documentary evidence. It presents an analysis that starts with an early notebook Galileo wrote at Pisa, and ends with one of the last letters Galileo wrote, stating that in logic he has been a Peripatetic all his life.

Описание: Against this orthodox "two-phase account" of observation, Hanson counters that scientific observation is already imbued with organization and interpretation.As an introduction to the philosophy of science, this book is concerned with the less spectacular form of discovery experienced by the student learning to see the world as a scientist.

Описание: This text explains how specific modelling practices employed by scientists are productive methods of creative changes in science. Model based reasoning promotes conceptual change because it is effective in abstracting, generating, and integrating constraints in ways that produce novel results.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was one of the outstanding physicists of his generation. He was also an immensely gifted writer and speaker, who thought deeply about the way that scientific discoveries have changed the way people live and think. Displaying his subtlety of thought and expression as do few other documents, this book of his lectures discusses the moral and cultural implications of developments in modern physics.

Описание:
This book describes the exciting discovery of every isotope observed on earth to date, which currently numbers some 3000. The discoveries are arranged in chapters according to the observation techniques or production methods. Each chapter contains tables listing the first authors of the first publication as well as details about the production and detection methods used. At the end, a comprehensive table lists all isotopes sorted by elements. The book is based on individual paragraphs for each isotope, which were published over the last few years as separate articles in the journal “Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables”. The work re-evaluates all prior assignments judging them with a uniform set of criteria. In addition, the author includes over 100 new isotopes which have been discovered since the articles published.This book is a source of information for researchers as well as enthusiastic laymen alike.From the prepublication review:“The explanations focus on the essentials, which makes the various chapters pleasingly compact. The phrasing is well understandable also for non-experts. This makes the book easy to read, even thrilling. I have to confess that parts of the manuscript I was even reading as an evening lecture in the bed, so exciting was the history of isotope discoveries.” Sigurd Hofmann, Helmholtz Professor at GSI Darmstadt, Germany, and a leading expert in superheavy nuclei
Описание: This is an innovative, revolutionary expose of the nature of creation -- including multiple dimensions and our very own human existence! Prepare to explore a pioneering new theory of cosmology, derived from a rarely explored source: the Quantum Void! Bill Bauman leads readers through a compelling, eye-opening voyage in a digestible, step-by-step way first, through the little-understood mysteries of the quantum worlds invisible power, then into the very secretive depths of the quantum void itself: the completely empty, absolute zero zone of pure nothingness. Complete with visionary interpretations to well over 150 citations of current quantum physics studies and physics scholars and experts from related disciplines, Bauman expresses these confounding ideas in language that is easy for the curious, open-minded non-scientist to understand. Bauman masterfully demonstrates how our human brains and minds are hard-wired to connect with, and even tap into the creative powers of, our quantum void. The conclusion: We are not only homo sapiens (human beings), but homo quantum-quantum human beings.
