Download or read book Flight Calls written by John R. Nelson and published by UMass + ORM. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paths of different birds look like double helixes, flowing strands of hair, and migrating serpents, and they beckon with calls that have definite meanings. These mysterious creatures inspire growing numbers of birders in their passionate pursuit of new species, and writer John R. Nelson is no exception. In Flight Calls, he takes readers on explorations to watch, hear, and know Massachusetts's hummingbirds, hawks, and herons along the coasts and in the woodlands, meadows, and marshes of Cape Ann, Cape Cod, the Great Marsh, Mount Auburn Cemetery, the Quabbin wilderness, Mount Wachusett, and elsewhere. With style, humor, and a sense of wonder, Nelson blends his field adventures with a history of the birding community; natural and cultural history; bird stories from authors such as Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, and Mary Oliver; current scientific research; and observations about the fascinating habits of birds and their admirers. These essays are capped off with a plea for bird conservation, in Massachusetts and beyond.

Download or read book The Hazard Called Education by Joseph Agassi written by Ronald Swartz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Agassi is known primarily among fellow academics as an exemplary historian and philosopher of science; an ardent critic and disciple of Karl Popper; a critical admirer of the work of Michael Polanyi; and a Socratic fly with the “sting of a bee” for all those who wear the intellectual fashions of the day. To most of Agassi’s students he is known primarily as an exemplary model of the Socratic teacher. The question of most urgency for educators today who care about the intellectual development of students is: How do we make ready our educational institutions for more Socratic teachers? The philosophical or theoretical question is: Why do we want Socratic teachers? In outline, of the many of Agassi’s educational essays selected for this book, Agassi answers those questions: authoritarianism (or anti-democracy) blocks the democratic reform of educational institutions where Socratic teachers and students could find a safe haven; and, Socratic teaching is the main anti-dote to authoritarianism. The removal of authoritarianism from education also removes the hazard that education has become to students; to their happiness, creativity, and dignity as autonomous individuals.
Download or read book Excuse Me Life is Calling written by Christian Pedersen and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theology and science are relatively poorly represented in today’s world, a world of biased facts, misrepre- sented realities, and lack of investigative enquiry, which is often prejudicial and unbalanced in reasoning. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone learned to dissect information with the ability to not prejudge until all evidence is available? If everyone became determined not to be led by another’s self-aggrandizing or nefarious intentions? Excuse Me, Life is Calling asks you to consider the relationship of all the world’s great theologies and how these interplay with science—an interplay that has struggled, despite the deep linkages between the two, for thousands of years. The symbiotic relationship between theology and science reveals that each field of study needs the other, even though science is not theology and theology is not science. Think past the presented evidence and see the inclusive realities surrounding each subject, realities that are often publicly presented as propaganda (for a multitude of reasons). Follow an historical path of evidence-based misrepresentation over hundreds, if not thousands of years. From a discussion of various theologies to the science of creation and evolution to startling concerns about the future, Excuse Me, Life is Calling encourages readers’ development of a process of greater thought, both as an individual and with others interested in similar topics. The truth is out there, if you’re able to open your mind and look for it with diligence.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Places Ellis at the heart of early-Victorian Cambridge with in-depth descriptions on his scientific work and tragic life Provides a unique glimpse into Victorian intellectual culture, based on previously unpublished archival materials This open access book brings together for the first time all aspects of the tragic life and fascinating work of the polymath Robert Leslie Ellis (1817-1859), placing him at the heart of early-Victorian intellectual culture. Written by a diverse team of experts, the chapters in the book's first part contain in-depth examinations of, among other things, Ellis's family, education, Bacon scholarship and mathematical contributions. The second part consists of annotated transcriptions of a selection of Ellis's diaries and correspondence. Taken together, A Prodigy of Universal Genius: Robert Leslie Ellis, 1817-1859 is a rich resource for historians of science, historians of mathematics and Victorian scholars alike. Robert Leslie Ellis was one of the most intriguing and wide-ranging intellectual figures of early Victorian Britain, his contributions ranging from advanced mathematical analysis to profound commentaries on philosophy and classics and a decisive role in the orientation of mid-nineteenth century scholarship. This very welcome collection offers both new and authoritative commentaries on the work, setting it in the context of the mathematical, philosophical and cultural milieux of the period, together with fascinating passages from the wealth of unpublished papers Ellis composed during his brief and brilliant career. - Simon Schaffer, Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge.
