Download or read book The Literature of Science written by Murdo William McRae and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Each of the book's three sections addresses a distinct set of topics. The first section, concerned with language and rhetoric, discusses how scientific information can be mistranslated for nonscientific audiences, how scientists try to escape the constraints of their professional discourse, and how tropes shape scientific epistemology. The second section, which focuses on history, myth, and narrative, shows that the literature of science is shaped by our view of history, is the product of our culture's mythic and narrative practices, and is therefore subject to interpretive decoding. Centered on ideology and culture, the third section explains that the literature of science has at times advanced, but now seems ready to subvert, orthodox structures of knowledge and power. It goes on to suggest how the scientific and popular cultures can reach a better mutual understanding." "The Literature of Science represents a major effort to examine the central questions raised by the interaction of science and culture."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book The Creative Moment written by Joseph Schwartz and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking our present ignorance of science and technology as a symptom of profound cultural malaise, writer and physicist Joseph Schwartz offers a provocative and fascinating look back into the history of science to find out how it progressively lost touch with the rest of society. Acting as a sort of science critic, Schwartz examines a range of great "creative moments", from seventeenth-century Florence and Galileo (whose decision to describe his theories in mathematical language avoided trouble with the Church, but began the trend to number-worship in physics) to Cold Spring Harbor in 1946 and the invention of molecular biology, which ultimately fostered a way of thinking so restrictive that it may now be imperiling the search for an AIDS cure. Why Einstein's relativity theory is so famously arcane, when it ought not to be....Why the bomb-makers of Los Alamos allowed themselves to be manipulated by the military....Why physicists have come up with almost no new ideas since the 1920s....These are the kinds of questions The Creative Moment tackles and illuminates with a freshness and knowledgeability that is the hallmark of a truly new approach to understanding science and technology.
Download or read book How Superstition Won and Science Lost written by John Chynoweth Burnham and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Burnham studies the history of changing patterns in the dissemination, or "popularization," of scientific findings to the general public since 1830. Focusing on three different areas of science -- health, psychology, and the natural sciences -- Burnham explores the ways in which this process of popularization has deteriorated. He draws on evidence ranging from early lyceum lecturers to the new math and argues that today popular science is the functional equivalent of superstition.

Download or read book The Selected Papers of Charles Willson Peale and His Family The autobiography of Charles Willson Peale written by Charles Willson Peale and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This autobiography, written by Peale when he was in his eighties, spans American history from the 1740s to the 1820s, an era in which Peale was a primary actor in many of the young nation’s significant cultural and political events. Peale begins by describing his difficult early years as an apprentice to a saddlemaker, and he then tells how he became an artist, one who eventually painted more than one thousand portraits of the generation that won American independence and established the Republic. He writes of his service in the Philadelphia militia during the American Revolution and of his fighting at the Battle of Princeton. He explains his involvement in Philadelphia’s radical republican politics and the difficulties this caused his family. He discusses his involvement in the founding of such cultural institutions as the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and his museum of natural history and art, the latter an institution he hoped would be his legacy. He recounts his experiences as a farmer and agrarian reformer and as an inventor (of fireplaces, a vapor bath, and the first American bridge design). Finally he includes a great deal of material on his wives and children, providing a matchless account of an American family in the early Republic.
