Download or read book An Essay on Science and Narcissism written by Bruno Lemaitre and published by EPFL Press. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists are often seen as meticulous and impartial individuals solely devoted to their study and the search for scientific truth. But a deeper analysis reveals that many of them are highly egocentric and sensitive to their public image and its associated privileges. Egocentrism, elitism, strategic media occupation and self-enhancement strategies are some of the first particularities that strike a newcomer to the academic world. An Essay on Science and Narcissism analyses the influence of narcissism, an important human personality dimension, on science. The central idea is that narcissism is an advantageous trait for succeeding in an academic environment. Scientists with a high ego are better at convincing others of the importance of their research and, as excellent networkers, they are well placed to exploit the different facets of the research system. In his essay, Bruno Lemaitre also discusses the psychological and sociobiological origins of narcissism and investigates the possible connection between narcissism on one hand, and dominance and short-term mating strategy on the other. The recent increase in narcissism in Western society and how this destabilises not only our society but also scientific practice is also discussed. This essay offers an alternative view of science by analysing the narcissistic personality: prevalent among leading scientists, but rarely placed in the spotlight.

Download or read book No Tomorrow written by Vivant Denon and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Bilingual New York Review Books Original Vivant Denon's No Tomorrow is one of the masterpieces of eighteenth-century French libertine literature, a book to set beside Choderlos de Laclos' Les Liaisons dangereuses, except that where Laclos' icy novel tells of hellish depravity, Denon's ravishing novella is a paradisal diversion. This tale of seduction is itself a seduction, with a plot that could be said to slowly unveil itself before arriving at last at an unexpected consummation. Summoned by Madame de T—— to her country house, the young hero of Denon's novella is taken on a tour of the grounds, only the beginning of a night that not only will be full of unanticipated delights but will give rise to unforeseen, perhaps unanswerable, questions. Lydia Davis's definitive translation of Denon's slim masterpiece is accompanied by the French text. Peter Brooks's illuminating introduction explores the mysteries of No Tomorrow's original publication and the subtleties of Denon's ethics of pleasure.

Download or read book QCM de physique written by André Baumy and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Q.C.M de Physique a pour but d'accompagner l'étudiant pendant ses deux premières années d'études supérieures en permettant un autocontrôle régulier de l'assimilation du cours ainsi qu'un entraînement aux questions classiques rencontrées dans les problèmes ou lors des khôlles orales. L'objectif est de sécuriser la compréhension des notions de cours et leur bonne assimilation, et d'éviter ainsi, à l'oral comme à l'écrit, toute mauvaise surprise. Q.C.M. de Physique ne remplace donc pas un cours ou un bon livre d'exercices, mais il optimise grandement le travail de l'étudiant. Le tome I de Q.C.M de Physique est consacré à l'électrocinétique, à l'électronique, à l'électrostatique ainsi qu'à l'électromagnétisme. Cet ouvrage sera utile, en premier lieu à l'étudiant des classes préparatoires aux Grandes écoles, mais aussi à celui des premiers cycles scientifiques universitaires dont les oraux sont aussi truffés de questions-pièges.

Download or read book Materials Selection in Mechanical Design written by M. F. Ashby and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New materials enable advances in engineering design. This book describes a procedure for material selection in mechanical design, allowing the most suitable materials for a given application to be identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available. A novel approach is adopted not found elsewhere. Materials are introduced through their properties; materials selection charts (a new development) capture the important features of all materials, allowing rapid retrieval of information and application of selection techniques. Merit indices, combined with charts, allow optimisation of the materials selection process. Sources of material property data are reviewed and approaches to their use are given. Material processing and its influence on the design are discussed. The book closes with chapters on aesthetics and industrial design. Case studies are developed as a method of illustrating the procedure and as a way of developing the ideas further.
