Download or read book Science written by Patricia Fara and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-02-11 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science: A Four Thousand Year History rewrites science's past. Instead of focussing on difficult experiments and abstract theories, Patricia Fara shows how science has always belonged to the practical world of war, politics, and business. Rather than glorifying scientists as idealized heroes, she tells true stories about real people - men (and some women) who needed to earn their living, who made mistakes, and who trampled down their rivals in their quest for success. Fara sweeps through the centuries, from ancient Babylon right up to the latest hi-tech experiments in genetics and particle physics, illuminating the financial interests, imperial ambitions, and publishing enterprises that have made science the powerful global phenomenon that it is today. She also ranges internationally, illustrating the importance of scientific projects based around the world, from China to the Islamic empire, as well as the more familiar tale of science in Europe, from Copernicus to Charles Darwin and beyond. Above all, this four thousand year history challenges scientific supremacy, arguing controversially that science is successful not because it is always right - but because people have said that it is right.

Download or read book The Forum Vol 1 written by Lorettus S. Metcalf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forum, Vol. 1: March, 1886 Much, it is pleasant to admit, has been done for pure science by this method of indirection and subordination of the best inter ests of science both to the restraints of a commercial purpose and the directorship of an unappreciating, sometimes an embarrass ing personality. But science thus subordinated marches with a crippled step, and is slower than she might be in evolving the hidden truths of nature. Even of this method Short-sighted utilitarianism is manifesting jealousy which daily increases. The growing apathy of our public authorities toward the application of scientific methods to the exploration of the public domain, is manifested in the increasing reluctance to provide for scientific methods of research in making such surveys, and the tendency to limit them to simple empirical processes. It is seen in inability to appreciate the value of scientific results when produced, and refusal to provide for their publication. Masses of precious material are thus lying in mildew and neglect, sim ply because too scientific for direct application to the purposes of lode-discovery, mineral working, or some similar utility. Men of recognized scientific capacity have been displaced from position to gratify the clamor for some empiricist or tool of an empirical Spirit, or perhaps even to suit the political change in a State administration.

Download or read book Natural Science Vol 1 written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-15 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Science, Vol. 1: A Monthly Review of Scientific Progress; March-December, 1892 Both naturalists and the public have suffered in consequence. The former have lost the stimulus of popular sympathy and criticism, and the contraction of the recruiting ground has diminished the number of the unattached local workers upon whose efforts progress in certain departments ultimately depends. Moreover, an ever increasing proportion of the new recruits have entered upon their work with minds cast in the mould of one of the orthodox universities or schools, and carry it on rather as a means of livelihood than of any special enthusiasm for the cause. Hence Science has had to suffer, on the one hand, from a certain degree of lukewarmness, and, on the other, from a conservatism that has had its origin in impatience at unsympathetic and ignorant control. The result, while it has been detrimental to Science, has been no less injurious to the cause of popular education. Tennyson, in his Despair, represents, with powerful pathos, the condition of a man whose peace of mind had been shattered by the teachings of a science which he woefully misunderstood it had destroyed the foundations of his old beliefs without substituting anything in their stead it had broken the old moorings, and left the man to drift aimlessly instead of endowing him with the strength and stability with which to use the intellectual liberty he had gained. The history of our literature shows that this case has been by no means a rare one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medical Independent and Monthly Review, Vol. 1: March, 1856 There cannot be a more sublime and beautiful science than the study of the elementary tissues of the two great kingdoms of organized beings. Of course, no such study can possibly be prosecuted, without the constant aid of the microscope - an instrument that has done more for science in modern times than language can express. Our obligations to it are manifold, no less in regard to the exposition of the individuality of nor mal tissues, than its adaptation to pathological research. The microscopical examination of a plant, or any portion of it, reveals the fact that all its tissues are composed of vesicles or cells. These cells are either simple or nucleated, or they may be formed for the reception of special contents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The March of Science written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The March of Science: In Which Are Noticed the Principal Discoveries and Improvements of Modern Times The advancement of the human race from the savage to the civilized state has been slow and often interrupted. Nations that have advanced most in the career of human improvements in former times have been subdued by the more numerous hordes of barbarians: and the relics of antiquity of nations now no more, but who once were far advanced in civilized life, remain to give a melancholy interest to those who study the works of departed ages. Prejudice and superstition have been the great barriers to the advancement of knowledge among the people. In every age of man's existence a certain portion of the human race have found that they could gain the support and admiration of their fellow-beings by practising deception on the less crafty but more credulous portion of their own tribe, clan or nation. Ignorant of the laws and operations of nature themselves, they have been successful in making others believe that the strange phenomena in the material world were brought about by good or evil spirits who inhabit the regions of space. By the practice of jugglery and sleight-of-hand, and by using particular agents to produce strange results, alike mysterious with the uninformed, they acquired such celebrity and ascendency over the ignorant as to be readily believed when they pretended that they had received special messages from supernatural beings, and were appointed as the agents of their will. Hence arose the different orders of magicians, soothsayers and priests. These often found it necessary to clothe their deities with vengeance, wrath and fury that they might the more easily excite fear and terror in the minds of the people who might employ and compensate them for their intercessions with the offended deities. Those who have pretended to act as mediators between mortal man and the immortal gods have ever found it to their interest to perpetuate the reign of ignorance and to repress the light of science.
