Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of Scientific Thought Other Essays There is a lovely mountain tarn, one of the many in that region of natural beauties known as Kerry, to which my thoughts have often turned whilst thinking over the subject of this article. High up, embosomed in the mountains, for the most part of the year it is even unfishable, because its sheltered position leaves its surface too glassy for the trout to be deceived by the fly. When, however, the wind blows from the right quarter, what a change in the lake! Its mirror-like surface is torn with waves, miniature waterspouts and spindrift rage and tear over its face. It is hardly recognizable as the peaceful thing it was, and will be again. For when the wind dies down, once more the pool returns to its peaceful state; once more puts on its glassy surface. Yet, no doubt, profound changes have taken place in the disposition of its waters: they are not as they were. The depths of the pool have been stirred, all cannot be as it was before the storm raged. The pool is the same, though a profound reconstruction of its constituent parts may have taken place. And any dweller by its shores could tell the casual visitor that such a storm, such a reconstruction, such a subsequent calm, was no unique experience, but a thing which had happened before, and must be expected to happen again.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Century of Science and Other Essays: Look inside the book: Geologists before Lyell had been led to the conclusion that the general aspect of the earth's surface with which we are familiar is by no means its primitive or its permanent aspect, but that there has been a succession of ages, in which the relations of land and water, of mountain and plain, have varied to a very considerable extent; in which soils and climatesPg 11 have undergone most complicated vicissitudes; and in which the earth's vegetable products and its animal populations have again and again assumed new forms, while the old forms have passed away. ... But ever since our earth cooled to a point at which its solid crust acquired stability, since the earliest mollusks and vertebrates began to swim in the seas and worms to crawl in the damp ground, if at almost any time we could have come here on a visit, we should doubtless have found things going on at measured pace very much as at present,—here and there earthquake and avalanche, fire and flood, but generally rain falling, sunshine quickening, herbage sprouting, creatures of some sort browsing, all as quiet and peaceful as a daisied field in June, without the slightest visible presage of the continuous series of minute secular changes that were gradually to transform a Carboniferous world into what was by and by to be a Jurassic world, and that again into what was after a whilePg 13 to be an Eocene world, and so on, until the aspect of the world that we know to-day should noiselessly steal upon us. ...It was proved beyond question that the world was not created in the form in which we find it to-day, but has gone through many phases, of which the later are very different from the earlier; and it was shown that, so far as the inorganic world is concerned, the changes can be much more satisfactorily explained by a reference to the ceaseless, all-pervading activity of gentle, unobtrusive causes such as we know than by an appeal to imaginary catastrophes such as we have no means of verifying.

Book excerpt: A Century Of Science And Other Essays This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scientific Culture: And Other Essays Since the period just referred to, the example early set at Cambridge of making the student's own oh servations in the laboratory or cabinet the basis of all teaching, either in experimental or natural history science, has been generally followed. But in most cen ters of education the old traditions so far survive that the great end of scientific culture is lost in attempting to conform even laboratory instruction to the old academic methods of recitations and examinations. These, as usually conducted, are simply hindrances in a course of scientific training, because they are no tests of the only ability or acquirement which science values, and there fore set before the student a false aim. To point out this error, and to claim for science teaching its appropri ate methods, was one object of the writer in these essays.

Download or read book Nature of Science, and Other Essays (Classic Reprint) written by David Greenwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature of Science, and Other Essays This book is intended as a collection of five essays in the general area of logic and mathematics as applied to science, composed, at various times, during the course of the past decade. The develop ment of the methods and results of natural science is possibly the most significant intellectual contribution of modern western civili zation to the galaxy of man's supreme achievements. I use the term natural science in its widest sense, including all theoretical knowl edge which cannot by definition be included under the category of the divine sciences, and which comprehends knowledge both dis covered by the application of special scientific procedures and based on common sense in everyday life. In the same way the expression language of science is meant here to refer to the language which contains all statements, i.e., theoretical sentences, in contradistinction to emotional expressions, commands, etc., used for scientific purposes in everyday life. What is usually called science I take to be a more systematic continuation of those activities which we carry out in everyday life in order to learn more about the world around us. As in my earlier book Truth and Meaning, I have not distin guished between any special logic of the empirical sciences and logic in general, since I doubt if any such differentiation really exists. I have taken logic as the name of the discipline which ana lyzes the meaning of the concepts common to all the sciences, and establishes the general laws governing the concepts. But I do recog nize two chief parts of the analysis of linguistic expressions in science. Scientific investigation may be restricted to the forms of_ the linguistic expressions involved and their relation to objects out side of language. An investigation of this type comes within the field of logical syntax, is restricted to formal analysis and abstracts from designation. In the second case, an investigation may not be restricted to formal analysis, but may take designation into con sideration. An investigation of this type comes within the field of semantics, and includes the semantical analysis of the designationof expressions. It will be obvious that this second part of scientific analysis is considerably broader than the first. A further distinction should be made between formal science and empirical science. Formal science consists of analytic statements established by logic and mathematics; empirical science consists of synthetic statements established in the different fields of factual knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scientific Lectures and Essays I say - facts of any kind whatsoever. If any of my readers should be inclined to say to themselves Geology may be a very pleasant study, but I have no special fancy for it. I had rather learn something of botany, astronomy, chemistry, or what not - I shall answer: By all means. Learn any branch of Natural Science you will. It matters little to me which you learn, provided you learn one at least. But bear in mind, and settle it in your hearts, that you will learn no branch of science soundly, so as to master it, and be able to make use of it, unless you acquire that habit and method of mind which I am trying to teach you in this book. I have tried to teach it you by geology, because geology is, perhaps, the simplest and the easiest of all physical sciences. It appeals more than any to mere common sense. It requires fewer difficult experiments, and expensive apparatus. It requires less previous knowledge of other sciences, Whether pure or mixed; at least in its rudimentary stages. It is more free from long and puzzling Greek and Latin words. It is specially, the poor man's science. But if you do not like it, study something else. Only study that as you must study geology; proceeding from the known to the unknown by observation and experiment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Higher Usefulness of Science, and Other Essays Theories are beyond question superlatively influen tial things among civilized men. And it matters little how broad and vague they are so long as we are con vinced that they deeply concern our personal welfare and the welfare of our kind. In support of theories so appraised we are willing, finally, to give our lives and our consuming intellectual labor also, to gaining an understanding of them if only we are convinced of their human worth. Can we become as thoroughly convinced of the value of theories of life formulated by accurate, patient, dry science, as we are of the value of corresponding theories formulated by the ology, or of the value of theories of national life for mulated from political experience? If so, we will make sacrifices for those theories - sacrifices in the way of time and mental effort to understand them.
