Download or read book Science on Stage written by Kirsten Shepherd-Barr and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science on Stage is the first full-length study of the phenomenon of "science plays"--theatrical events that weave scientific content into the plot lines of the drama. The book investigates the tradition of science on the stage from the Renaissance to the present, focusing in particular on the current wave of science playwriting. Drawing on extensive interviews with playwrights and directors, Kirsten Shepherd-Barr discusses such works as Michael Frayn's Copenhagen and Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. She asks questions such as, What accounts for the surge of interest in putting science on the stage? What areas of science seem most popular with playwrights, and why? How has the tradition evolved throughout the centuries? What currents are defining it now? And what are some of the debates and controversies surrounding the use of science on stage? Organized by scientific themes, the book examines selected contemporary plays that represent a merging of theatrical form and scientific content--plays in which the science is literally enacted through the structure and performance of the play. Beginning with a discussion of Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, the book traces the history of how scientific ideas (quantum mechanics and fractals, for example) are dealt with in theatrical presentations. It discusses the relationship of science to society, the role of science in our lives, the complicated ethical considerations of science, and the accuracy of the portrayal of science in the dramatic context. The final chapter looks at some of the most recent and exciting developments in science playwriting that are taking the genre in innovative directions and challenging the audience's expectations of a science play. The book includes a comprehensive annotated list of four centuries of science plays, which will be useful for teachers, students, and general readers alike.

Download or read book Death of a Rat written by William D. Stansfield and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2000-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this intriguing opening geneticist and science writer William D. Stansfield begins this popular overview of the major ethical and philosophical issues confronting science today. From concern about the welfare of experimental animals to a consideration of the many other kinds of impediments that slow the progress of science-religious, moral, political, and conceptual-each accessible chapter conveys to the intelligent lay reader an appreciation for the work that scientists do and the obstacles that stand in their way. With a knack for telling a good story, Stansfield weaves together the history of science and contemporary events in diversely entertaining, loosely connected chapters that can be read sequentially or stand on their own. "The Frankenstein Model" considers such thorny issues as human experimentation, fetal cell research, and animal rights. "Dance Fever" shows how a "paradigm hold" (e.g., bee dance language) can redirect scientists away from giving alternate theories a proper test. "Grand Illusions" looks at enticing scientific ideas like cold fusion that sometimes lead scientists down the wrong path. "Strange Bedfellows" traces the influence of religion and politics on the advance of science and on science education today. Other chapters discuss the role that serendipity plays in scientific discoveries, where great ideas come from, J.D. Watson's double helix model of DNA, the history of the polymerase chain reaction, the discovery of the AIDS virus, and the crucial issue of honesty vs. fraud in scientific research. At times dramatic, amusing, and always interesting, The Death of a Rat proves that science is much more than the dry, antiseptic exercise of popular stereotypes. William Stansfield compellingly describes the fascinating, very human struggle for truth that makes science the most important enterprise of our time.

Download or read book Destiny Disrupted written by Tamim Ansary and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Destiny Disrupted, Ansary tells the rich story of world history as it looks from that other perspective. With the evolution of the Muslim community at the center, his story moves from the lifetime of Mohammed through a succession of far-flung empires, to the struggles and ideological movements that have wracked the Muslim world in recent centuries, to the tangle of modern conflicts that culminated in the events of 9/11. He introduces the key people, events, ideas, legends, religious disputes, and turning points of world history from that other perspective, recounting not only what happened but how those events were interpreted and understood in that framework. He clarifies why these two great civilizations grew up oblivious to each other, what happened when they intersected, and how the Islamic world was affected by its slow recognition that Europe - a place it long perceived as primitive - had somehow hijacked destiny."--BOOK JACKET.
