Book excerpt: From the Preface. ...Few tasks are as difficult as that of conveying to a general audience a true impression of the results of scientific inquiry. One must avoid the Scylla of too great certainty and also the Charybdis of too great uncertainty. Even the proper words to use are a matter of doubt; and the difficulty is not lightened by the fact that, through the daily press and the popular magazines, many of the discoveries of science have been given exposition - in many cases, by people entirely ignorant of the subject. The plan adopted, after most serious consideration, was to accept the general theory of molecules and atoms as proposed by Sir J. J. Thomson and the properties of electrons as deduced by H. A. Lorentz, and to attempt to explain how from these one may deduce the general and even specific properties of matter. This method obviously is one suited only for a general audience; and even there it has its dangers. One is liable to produce the impression that our theories are verified, whereas they are but hypotheses still; but this is better, perhaps, than to leave the conviction that nothing is certain. It is difficult to make any body of listeners, however great their general intelligence, realize that in the end the great purpose of scientific investigation is the pursuit of Truth, the attainment of knowledge. Hypotheses rise and fall; the facts of experiment remain. The temptation is great to stop here and there and emphasize what is not known, what is not proved; and the real usefulness of the lectures is lessened of course by the fact that this was done so rarely. However successful the attempt has been, the main purpose of the lectures was to make clear to a body of people, not students of physics, some of the results of investigators in unifying our knowledge of the world around us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitution of Matter The lectures which form the body of this book were delivered at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, in the month of February, 1913, for The Norman W. Harris Lectures of this year. The fact that they were actual lectures accounts for the form in which the text is given; and the further fact that the audience for whom they were prepared was composed, for a large part, of people unfamiliar with both the facts and the methods of science must be accepted as the justification for the treatment of the subject. Few tasks are as difficult as that of conveying to a general audience a true impression of the results of scientific inquiry. One must avoid the Scylla of too great certainty and also the Charybdis of too great uncertainty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book How Constitutional Rights Matter written by Adam Chilton and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does constitutionalizing rights improve respect for those rights in practice? Drawing on statistical analyses, survey experiments, and case studies from around the world, this book argues that enforcing constitutional rights is not easy, but that some rights are harder to repress than others. First, enshrining rights in constitutions does not automatically ensure that those rights will be respected. For rights to matter, rights violations need to be politically costly. But this is difficult to accomplish for unconnected groups of citizens. Second, some rights are easier to enforce than others, especially those with natural constituencies that can mobilize for their enforcement. This is the case for rights that are practiced by and within organizations, such as the rights to religious freedom, to unionize, and to form political parties. Because religious groups, trade unions and parties are highly organized, they are well-equipped to use the constitution to resist rights violations. As a result, these rights are systematically associated with better practices. By contrast, rights that are practiced on an individual basis, such as free speech or the prohibition of torture, often lack natural constituencies to enforce them, which makes it easier for governments to violate these rights. Third, even highly organized groups armed with the constitution may not be able to stop governments dedicated to rights-repression. When constitutional rights are enforced by dedicated organizations, they are thus best understood as speed bumps that slow down attempts at repression. An important contribution to comparative constitutional law, this book provides a comprehensive picture of the spread of constitutional rights, and their enforcement, around the world.

Download or read book How Does Law Matter written by Bryant G. Garth and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of how law matters has long been fundamental to the law and society field. Social science scholarship has repeatedly demonstrated that law matters less, or differently, than those who study only legal doctrine would have us believe. Yet research in this field depends on a belief in the relevance of law, no matter how often gaps are identified. The essays in this collection show how law is relevant in both an instrumental and a constitutive sense, as a tool to accomplish particular purposes and as an important force in shaping the everyday worlds in which we live. Essays examine these issues by focusing on legal consciousness, the body, discrimination, and colonialism as well as on more traditional legal concerns such as juries and criminal justice.
