Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Science For myself I found that I was fitted for noth ing SO well as for the study of Truth; as having a mind nimble and versatile enough to catch the resemblance of things (which is the chief point), and at the same time steady enough to fix and distinguish their subtler differences; as being gifted by nature with desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to reconsider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and as being a man that neither affects what is new nor admires what is old, and that hates every kind Of imposture. SO I thought my nature had a kind of familiarity and relation ship with Truth. - francis bacon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the History of Science The history of science has something to offer to the humblest intelligence. It is a means of impart ing a knowledge of scientific facts and principles to unschooled minds. At the same time it affords a simple method of school instruction. Those who understand a business or an institution best, as a contemporary writer on finance remarks, are those who have made it or grown up with it, and the next best thing is to know how it has grown up, and then watch or take part in its actual working. Generally speaking, we know best what we know in its origins. The history of science is an aid in scientific research. It places the student in the current of scientific thought, and gives him a clue to the purpose and necessity of the theories he is required to master. It presents science as the constant pursuit of truth rather than the formulation of truth long since re vealed; it shows science as progressive rather than fixed, dynamic rather than static, a growth to which each may contribute. It does not paralyze the self activity of youth by the record of an infallible past. It is only by teaching the sciences in their bistori cal development that the schools can be true to the two principles of modern education, that the sciences should occupy the foremost place in the curriculum and that the individual mind in its evolution should rehearse the history of civilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Science For these reasons, without real blame being attributable to any one, the proper aim of the study of science in the high schools was defeated. Disturbers of the educational peace then pointed to the fact that approximately only five per cent of the high school pupils go to college. They questioned the dictum that the best education for the pupil preparing for college is the best education for the pupil going immediately into active life. It was pointed out that everybody who took science was being forced to study a great deal of pure theory that could not be connected with practical life without much subsequent study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Elements of Science That a work should be written which might introduce students to the elements of all the sciences, has long seemed to the author of this book a thing to be desired. Having been unable to find associates for this purpose, he has ventured to undertake it himself. Strongly convinced that the student ought to be introduced to mental as well as to physical science, the writer has been careful not to omit the elements of psychology, logic, and philosophy, subjects which he thinks have been far too generally neglected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to General Science: With Experiments However much we may theorize, and try to impress the youth with the proper conception of man's place in nature, the individual young person will continue to consider himself as the center of the universe. Immediate needs and close surroundings are what interest him. It is not until he has learned about these, and has followed back to their sources and causes some of the phenomena which have seemed simple and matter of fact, that he begins to realize that the distant forces have more effect upon his existence than the near-by, everyday happenings. Perhaps it is well, then, at the beginning of science study, to take his point of view, and lead him to follow each apparently simple need or desire, and to arouse in him the habit of seeking for a cause, and looking beyond the present and immediate to the future and the ultimate. It may be truly said that in a General Science course, "All roads lead to Rome," for the course may be commenced anywhere, and it will lead to a study of all science. In fact, if the pun may be forgiven, in a General Science course, "All roads lead to roam," and the pupil, after he is started, needs but to be guided. That is the purpose of this book. It is not easy to teach a course in general science successfully. There is always the temptation to specialize in some particular part, usually the part which the teacher likes best, and about which he knows most. If this temptation is not resisted, the course ceases to be general. The value of a General Science course is twofold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Science, Vol. 1 1. IN whatever place we first become aware that we are livin beings, the scene which we survey is limited to a very sma part of the' whole system of Nature - that is, of what exists. F we look beyond the house in which we live, we probably see other houses, fields, hills, plains, or a part of the sea. If we look upward, a more extensive view is presented; we there behold the clear blue sky, where the sun shines by day, and the moon and stars by night. But even these large plains, and that wide sky, are only a part, and a very small part, of what exists. Far beyond the hills which bound our new, there are other plains and hills; and far beyond the stars which we see by night there are other stars without number. 2. Vs young person has some notion of the distance called a mile. I he were to walk a few miles from the place where he lives, he would come to other places quite stran e to him; and if he were to walk many more miles, he woul still come to new places. The parish in which he lives is only a few miles in extent; but this parish is but a I? Of a county, which is again of a state or kingdom. He state is probably many reds of miles long, and some hundreds broad, and it con tains so many people, that it is not easy for a child to understand their number. But, after all, a state is only a small part of the surface of the earth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science for Beginners an Introduction to the Method, and Matter of Science The writer of this book remembers very clearly that in his boyhood days he had an intense desire to investigate those things that were immediately about him. He had a dim notion that the problems of everyday life would prove most interesting if they could be solved in some way by himself. To him it seemed far more captivating to obtain knowledge through his own experiments than by merely reading from a book. This thought has remained with him all through the years, and it is because of it that this book has been written; the purpose has been to provide a book that will permit you to get the information for yourself. The writer confesses one great anxiety, however. Will you, the boys and girls who use this book, have the courage to carry on the work in accordance with the spirit of the book? Will you do the work for yourselves, make the observations, keep a notebook, and so learn to know by doing? If you desire to secure the best results from the use of this book, or any book for that matter, you must have a well-laid-out plan and must not do your work in the haphazard way that, is characteristic of many boys and girls of your age. You are asked to study carefully the suggestions that follow, and, if you think them worth adopting, to observe them to the best of your ability. 1. Make out a definite daily program for every hour of the day, and especially the exact time that you will devote to each of your studies.

Download or read book Introduction to Glass Science and Technology written by James E Shelby and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a concise and inexpensive introduction for an undergraduate course in glass science and technology. The level of the book has deliberately been maintained at the introductory level to avoid confusion of the student by inclusion of more advanced material, and is unique in that its text is limited to the amount suitable for a one term course for students in materials science, ceramics or inorganic chemistry. The contents cover the fundamental topics of importance in glass science and technology, including glass formation, crystallization, phase separation and structure of glasses. Additional chapters discuss the most important properties of glasses, including discussion of physical, optical, electrical, chemical and mechanical properties. A final chapter provides an introduction to a number of methods used to form technical glasses, including glass sheet, bottles, insulation fibre, optical fibres and other common commercial products. In addition, the book contains discussion of the effects of phase separation and crystallization on the properties of glasses, which is neglected in other texts. Although intended primarily as a textbook, Introduction to Glass Science and Technology will also be invaluable to the engineer or scientist who desires more knowledge regarding the formation, properties and production of glass.

This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science Recent years have witnessed the publication of a large number of monographs, magazine articles, and books, whose subject matter has seemed to defy classification. Though they have been written, for the greater part, by scientists, they are not properly scientific. They begin with science, they talk about science, and they end with science, yet they do not conform at all to the tradition of scientific writings. Were it not for the fact that they differ in important ways from the usual books on logic they might be placed in this class. Yet they are not logical in the usual sense. Their repeated reference to philosophical issues tempts one to classify them with this group, yet the writings approach these problems in a new spirit and with a new method, which seem quite foreign to the traditional philosophy.
