Описание: Forschungsinitiativen zum Thema Avantgarde und Moderne nehmen in der europ ischen Forschungslandschaft weiterhin zu. Die experimentellen Literaturen und die K nste in Europa zwischen ca. 1850 und 1950 und ihre Nachwirkungen sind als Lehr- und Forschungsbereiche an den europ ischen Forschungsinstitutionen und in den Lehrpl nen heutzutage nicht mehr wegzudenken. Avantgarde und Moderne haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu unterschiedlichen, aber mehrfach miteinander verzahnten Forschungsgebieten entwickelt. Innerhalb der franz sischen und deutschen akademischen Welt bleibt der Sammelbegriff "modernism" weniger gel ufig - "die (klassische) Moderne" und "modernit " fungieren hier als nahe liegende quivalente zu demjenigen, was im internationalen Kontext als eine zeitliche und r umliche Ko-Okkurenz k nstlerischer Ausdrucksformen und sthetischer Theorien namhaft gemacht werden kann, die ungef hr zwischen 1850 und 1950 angesiedelt werden kann. Auf hnliche Weise entfaltet die Bezeichnung "Avantgarde" eine Reihe h ufig widerspr chlicher Konnotationen. F r manche bedeutet die Avantgarde den radikalsten experimentellen Bruch der K nste und Literaturen mit den Darstellungs- und Erz hlkonventionen des 19. Jahrhundert: Im fr hen zwanzigsten Jahrhundert zeugen davon Avantgardebewegungen wie Futurismus, Expressionismus, Dada und Surrealismus, d.h. Str mungen, die als die "heroische" Phase der Avantgarde bezeichnet werden k nnen. F r andere geh rt die Avantgarde zu einer kulturellen und konzeptuellen Ordnung, die sich weitgehend von der 'modernistischen' unterscheidet oder sogar abhebt: Die avantgardistischen Experimente ab den f nfziger Jahren des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts kommen in dieser Hinsicht weitgehend ohne modernistische Begleiterscheinung aus.
Die Buchreihe Studien zur Europ ischen Avantgarde und Moderne m chte der Kompliziertheit der unterschiedlichen europ ischen Forschungstraditionen gerecht werden und strebt danach, die breite linguistische, terminologische und methodologische Vielfalt abzudecken. Anhand einer zweij hrlichen Sammlung von Beitr gen in englischer, franz sischer und deutscher Sprache m chte die Reihe nicht nur die franz sisch-, deutsch- und englischsprachigen, sondern auch die nord-, s d-, zentral- und osteurop ischen Ergebnisse der Avantgarde- und Moderne-Forschung einbeziehen. Die Reihe sammelt die neuesten und ertragreichsten Beitr ge zur Forschung und widmet sich der Erforschung der gesamten europ ischen Avantgarde und Moderne, ihrer Vorl ufer und ihrem Nachklang im Laufe des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Studien zur Europ ischen Avantgarde und Moderne f rdern die interdisziplin re und intermediale Erforschung experimenteller sthetiken und Poetiken und setzen es sich zum Ziel, das Interesse an den kulturellen Zusammenh ngen und Kontexten der Avantgarde und der Moderne in Europa anzuregen. Beitr ge werden internationalen Experten zur anonymen Begutachtung vorgelegt. Chefredakteure: Sascha Bru (Leuven University) und Peter Nicholls (New York University).

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, North American and European governments generously funded the discoveries of such famous paleontologists and geologists as Henry de la Beche, William Buckland, Richard Owen, Thomas Hawkins, Edward Drinker Cope, O. C. Marsh, and Charles W. Gilmore. In Patrons of Paleontology, Jane Davidson explores the motivation behind this rush to fund exploration, arguing that eagerness to discover strategic resources like coal deposits was further fueled by patrons who had a genuine passion for paleontology and the fascinating creatures that were being unearthed. These early decades of government support shaped the way the discipline grew, creating practices and enabling discoveries that continue to affect paleontology today.
In the winter of 1739, Georg Steller received word from Empress Anna of Russia that he was to embark on a secret expedition to the far reaches of Siberia as a member of the Great Northern Expedition. While searching for economic possibilities and strategic advantages, Steller was to send back descriptions of everything he saw. The Empress's instructions were detailed, from requests for a preserved whale brain to observing the child-rearing customs of local peoples, and Steller met the task with dedication, bravery, and a good measure of humor. In the name of science, Steller and his comrades confronted horse-swallowing bogs, leaped across ice floes, and survived countless close calls in their exploration of an unforgiving environment. Not stopping at lists of fish, birds, and animals, Steller also details the villages and the lives of those living there, from vice-governors to prostitutes. His writings rail against government corruption and the misuse of power while describing with empathy the lives of the poor and forgotten, with special attention toward Native peoples.
What emerges is a remarkable window into life--both human and animal--in 18th century Siberia. Due to the secret nature of the expedition, Steller's findings were hidden in Russian archives for centuries, but the near-daily entries he recorded on journeys to the Siberian towns of Irkutsk and Kamchatka are presented here in English for the first time.

Описание: A second volume of papers on Thomas Harriot that is based on the annual Harriot lectures delivered at Oriel College, Oxford between 2000 and 2009. It complements the previous volume, published as "Thomas Harriot".
This book enriches the four causes of Aristotelian thought--i.e., the material, formative, efficient and final causes (Duque, 1.992) - and a previously suggested fifth cause (Duque, 1.999), the Maturity Cause, using the same methodology discovered while working with the four causes.
Each of the five causes is associated with one or two methods of science and to a set of human faculties. The four causes taught by the Greeks are associated with the qualitative, the formative method, the experimental, the explicative method, and the exploratory and propositional methods which emerge from the Maturity Cause. The full conceptual framework based on the five causes is a useful tool for solving every day common issues as well as for resolving large individual and collective challenges.
The outcome of a New Approach to Science, which fuses notions from the Book of Creation and the Book of Revelation in a conceptual framework to perceive, interpret and transform reality, profoundly questions how science is conceived today.
Shogui Effendi in The World Order of Baha'u'llah said: "science and religion, (are) the two most potent forces in human life". What would be the synergic effect when they become reconciled?
The example of how usefull the New Approach to Science is, focuses on the situation of the farmers of the world:
In order to think about agriculture as a way to "lay a foundation for system" as 'Abdu'l-Bah explained in "Foundations of World Unity", one has to examine the systems of education and labor. An educational system which revolves around agriculture should focus on monitoring and evaluating the teaching of the methods of sciences to the youth of the world, especially the daughters and sons of the farmers, so they can discover the potential of biodiversity and its results in terms of generating employment.
For example: there are close to 300,000 species of plants and there are scores of different chemical compounds in a leaf of a plant, each one of them with different potentialities. The same thing applies to the possible combinations of those scores of different chemical compounds; each has its potential for agriculture, nutrition, health or industrial uses. John McMurry said referring to the plant kingdom: "It has been estimated that well over 300,000 secondary metabolites exist, and it is thought that their primary function is to increase the likelihood of an organism's survival by repelling or attracting other organisms." How many beneficial species of insects, bacteria, viruses and fungus do we know?
Because my work has been dedicated to the relentlessly persecuted Bah ' s of Iran, I suggest this endeavor to be the continuation of the "Education is not a crime" initiative, and I would certainly love to be part of it.
The proceeds of you buying this book will be mainly directed towards the development of a curriculum in order to contribute to the teaching of the methods of sciences to the youth of the world.
