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.

Описание: Art and Science in Word and Image investigates the theme of ‘riddles of form’, exploring how discovery and innovation have functioned inter-dependently between art, literature and the sciences. Using the impact of evolutionary biologist D’Arcy Thompson’s On Growth and Form on Modernist practices as springboard into the theme, contributors consider engagements with mysteries of natural form in painting, photography, fiction, etc., as well as theories about cosmic forces, and other fields of knowledge and enquiry. Hence the collection also deals with topics including cultural inscriptions of gardens and landscapes, deconstructions of received history through word and image artworks and texts, experiments in poetic materiality, graphic re-mediations of classic fiction, and textual transactions with animation and photography. Contributors are: Dina Aleshina, Marcia Arbex, Donna T. Canada Smith, Calum Colvin, Francis Edeline, Philippe Enrico, Etienne Fevrier, Madeline B. Gangnes, Eric T. Haskell, Christina Ionescu, Tim Isherwood, Matthew Jarron, Philippe Kaenel, Judy Kendall, Catherine Lanone, Kristen Nassif, Solange Ribeiro de Oliveira, Eric Robertson, Frances Robertson, Cathy Roche-Liger, David Skilton, Melanie Stengele, Barry Sullivan, Alice Tarbuck, Frederik Van Dam.

Описание: The problem of Galileo`s logical methodology has long interested scholars. This title offers a solution that is backed by documentary evidence. It presents an analysis that starts with an early notebook Galileo wrote at Pisa, and ends with one of the last letters Galileo wrote, stating that in logic he has been a Peripatetic all his life.

This book describes the exciting discovery of every isotope observed on earth to date, which currently numbers some 3000. The discoveries are arranged in chapters according to the observation techniques or production methods. Each chapter contains tables listing the first authors of the first publication as well as details about the production and detection methods used. At the end, a comprehensive table lists all isotopes sorted by elements. The book is based on individual paragraphs for each isotope, which were published over the last few years as separate articles in the journal “Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables”. The work re-evaluates all prior assignments judging them with a uniform set of criteria. In addition, the author includes over 100 new isotopes which have been discovered since the articles published.This book is a source of information for researchers as well as enthusiastic laymen alike.From the prepublication review:“The explanations focus on the essentials, which makes the various chapters pleasingly compact. The phrasing is well understandable also for non-experts. This makes the book easy to read, even thrilling. I have to confess that parts of the manuscript I was even reading as an evening lecture in the bed, so exciting was the history of isotope discoveries.” Sigurd Hofmann, Helmholtz Professor at GSI Darmstadt, Germany, and a leading expert in superheavy nuclei

Описание: Against this orthodox "two-phase account" of observation, Hanson counters that scientific observation is already imbued with organization and interpretation.As an introduction to the philosophy of science, this book is concerned with the less spectacular form of discovery experienced by the student learning to see the world as a scientist.
Автор: Luan Navarro, Sarah Bianchi Название: Neutrinos: Discovery, Detection & New Developments ISBN: 1628085460 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781628085464 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 103480.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The idea of a neutrino was derived from experiments demonstrating continuous beta decay spectra and, at the same time, it resolved problems that had arisen in the determination of nuclear constituents. The unusual features of the neutron, especially its disintegration, led to the introduction and subsequent detection of a new particle, the neutrino. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the discovery, detection and new developments in neutrinos. Topics include the way to a deterministic tachyon model of neutrino; neutrino emissivity and light species; and the magnetic moment and electric dipole moment of Tau-neutrinos.
