Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science Progress in the Twentieth Century, Vol. 2: A Quarterly Journal of Scientific Work and Thought; No. 8, April 1908 Under ordinary conditions, in the absence of radioactive matter the time taken by the falling leaf to pass over the fixed portion of the scale is termed the natural leale of the electroscope. This natural leak is quite considerable, and the time may even amount to several hours. The presence inside the case of a comparatively weak radioactive substance reduces the leak to a few minutes, or even seconds. It is desirable to give some account of the reasons underlying this behaviour. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Quantum Generations written by Helge Kragh and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2002-03-24 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the nineteenth century, some physicists believed that the basic principles underlying their subject were already known, and that physics in the future would only consist of filling in the details. They could hardly have been more wrong. The past century has seen the rise of quantum mechanics, relativity, cosmology, particle physics, and solid-state physics, among other fields. These subjects have fundamentally changed our understanding of space, time, and matter. They have also transformed daily life, inspiring a technological revolution that has included the development of radio, television, lasers, nuclear power, and computers. In Quantum Generations, Helge Kragh, one of the world's leading historians of physics, presents a sweeping account of these extraordinary achievements of the past one hundred years. The first comprehensive one-volume history of twentieth-century physics, the book takes us from the discovery of X rays in the mid-1890s to superstring theory in the 1990s. Unlike most previous histories of physics, written either from a scientific perspective or from a social and institutional perspective, Quantum Generations combines both approaches. Kragh writes about pure science with the expertise of a trained physicist, while keeping the content accessible to nonspecialists and paying careful attention to practical uses of science, ranging from compact disks to bombs. As a historian, Kragh skillfully outlines the social and economic contexts that have shaped the field in the twentieth century. He writes, for example, about the impact of the two world wars, the fate of physics under Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, the role of military research, the emerging leadership of the United States, and the backlash against science that began in the 1960s. He also shows how the revolutionary discoveries of scientists ranging from Einstein, Planck, and Bohr to Stephen Hawking have been built on the great traditions of earlier centuries. Combining a mastery of detail with a sure sense of the broad contours of historical change, Kragh has written a fitting tribute to the scientists who have played such a decisive role in the making of the modern world.
Download or read book A Century of Nature written by Laura Garwin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the scientific breakthroughs of the twentieth century were first reported in the journal Nature. A Century of Nature brings together in one volume Nature's greatest hits—reproductions of seminal contributions that changed science and the world, accompanied by essays written by leading scientists (including four Nobel laureates) that provide historical context for each article, explain its insights in graceful, accessible prose, and celebrate the serendipity of discovery and the rewards of searching for needles in haystacks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science Progress, Vol. 2: In the Twentieth Century a Quarterly Journal of Scientific Thought Dogmatic statements regarding the nature of cancer have broken more reputations than they have made. Paradoxical as it may be, progress in our knowledge of cancer has been made mainly by failure, by successive generations of investigators proving the insufficiency of the knowledge and the hypotheses of their predecessors; but this applies equally to the advancement of knowledge in many fields. The advancement of knowledge by the process of exclusion is surely the most tedious of methods, since, beyond all else, it signifies inability to formulate correctly the problem which it is sought to solve. We are still struggling to formulate correctly the problem, or better, problems of cancer, the sum of our facts not yet sufficing for an unequivocal statement of a problem which shall finally rid us of the everlasting question, What is the cause of cancer? We must be patient of the necessity for undertaking destructive work. In the face of the many defeats efforts at constructive work have suffered in the past, we must be mindful that hypotheses and theories, like men, "may rise on stepping-stones of their dead selves to higher things." Finally the truth is elicited. While avoiding dogmatic statements, I hope to show that the application of experiment to the study of cancer is rational to-day, and has advanced in four or five years to a stage where the results have become of constructive value. In the space of a short article it is impossible to give an adequate account of the many aspects from which "cancer" requires to be studied. I propose to consider mainly the application of the experimental method to the study of growth, and to show how greatly knowledge has advanced since the first experiment on cancer was made in 1773.

There are also sections concerning the countries that have made the most significant contributions, the relationship between science and industry, the importance of instrumentation, and the cultural influence of scientific modes of thought. Students and professionals will come to appreciate how, and why, science has developed - as with any other human activity, it is subject to the dynamics of society and politics.
Download or read book Basic and Applied Research written by David Kaldewey and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distinction between basic and applied research was central to twentieth-century science and policymaking, and if this framework has been contested in recent years, it nonetheless remains ubiquitous in both scientific and public discourse. Employing a transnational, diachronic perspective informed by historical semantics, this volume traces the conceptual history of the basic–applied distinction from the nineteenth century to today, taking stock of European developments alongside comparative case studies from the United States and China. It shows how an older dichotomy of pure and applied science was reconceived in response to rapid scientific progress and then further transformed by the geopolitical circumstances of the postwar era.
