Download or read book Scientific Babel written by Michael D. Gordin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English is the language of science today. No matter which languages you know, if you want your work seen, studied, and cited, you need to publish in English. But that hasn’t always been the case. Though there was a time when Latin dominated the field, for centuries science has been a polyglot enterprise, conducted in a number of languages whose importance waxed and waned over time—until the rise of English in the twentieth century. So how did we get from there to here? How did French, German, Latin, Russian, and even Esperanto give way to English? And what can we reconstruct of the experience of doing science in the polyglot past? With Scientific Babel, Michael D. Gordin resurrects that lost world, in part through an ingenious mechanism: the pages of his highly readable narrative account teem with footnotes—not offering background information, but presenting quoted material in its original language. The result is stunning: as we read about the rise and fall of languages, driven by politics, war, economics, and institutions, we actually see it happen in the ever-changing web of multilingual examples. The history of science, and of English as its dominant language, comes to life, and brings with it a new understanding not only of the frictions generated by a scientific community that spoke in many often mutually unintelligible voices, but also of the possibilities of the polyglot, and the losses that the dominance of English entails. Few historians of science write as well as Gordin, and Scientific Babel reveals his incredible command of the literature, language, and intellectual essence of science past and present. No reader who takes this linguistic journey with him will be disappointed.

Book Chemical Information for Chemists

Download or read book Chemical Information for Chemists written by Judith N Currano and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it is not difficult to find data in many cases, what advice can you get on the quality of the data retrieved? Chemical Information for Chemists could help with this problem and more. This book is a chemical information book aimed specifically at practicing chemists. Written and edited by experts in the field, it is ideal for chemists who lack a chemical information professional able to teach basic and intermediate techniques in retrieving and evaluating information using the unique entry points of the chemical literature, including structure, formula, substructure, and sequence. Aimed at students on undergraduate and graduate courses, it could also be a useful guide to new information specialists who are facing the challenging diversity of chemical literature.

Book Techniques and Experiments For Organic Chemistry

Download or read book Techniques and Experiments For Organic Chemistry written by Addison Ault and published by University Science Books. This book was released on 1998-08-12 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embraced by the inside covers' periodic table of elements and table of solutions of acids, the new edition of this introductory text continues to describe laboratory operations in its first part, and experiments in the second. Revisions by Ault (Cornell U.) include detailed instructions for the disposal of waste, and experiments with more interesting compounds (e.g. seven reactions of vanillin, and isolating ibuprofin from ibuprofin tablets). Conscious of costs, microscale experiments are included but not to the point where minuscule amounts of material will preclude the aesthetic pleasure of watching crystals form or distillates collect.
