Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sabemos que la ciencia penetra nuestras vidas, que las condiciona cada vez más profunda e intensamente. Y, sin embargo, para la mayoría de nosotros, el conocimiento científico es algo ajeno que contemplamos con una mezcla -surgida habitualmente de la ignorancia- de respeto y temor. Este diccionario pretende acercar esa aparentemente todopoderosa ciencia a todo tipo de lectores, incluyendo entre ellos a los propios científicos, alejados en su mayoría, en esta era de la especialización y compartimentación, de una visión global -y humana- de su disciplina, esencialmente múltiple, por otra parte. Pero para lograr semejante compendio -cuanto más completo y escueto mejor- que permita entender el mayor número posible de aportaciones científicas. Lo que este diccionario presenta es una visión personal, profundamente idiosincrásica y selectiva, apasionada e intensa de la ciencia. Una visión en la que, buscando la auténtica esencia del conocimiento e historia de la ciencia, se realiza una drástica selección de conceptos, teorías, problemas y personajes. Una visión, además, que, respetuosa con el valor del conocimiento científico, mira a la ciencia no como un nuevo -sin duda racional- dios, sino como un magnífico y luminoso, aunque en ocasiones problemático, instrumento al servicio de la dignidad, de las necesidades y escala de valores favorecida por la especie humana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El ex ministro de Educación francés, Claude Allègre, nos guía en un fascinante recorrido por la ciencia a través del ADN, las estrellas, los planetas o los dinosaurios. Diccionario del amante de la ciencia es un libro apasionado de la inteligencia humana. Claude Allègre, profesor de ciencias que ha tenido responsabilidades ministeriales en Francia, nos cuenta la historia de los avances científicos y su contribución a la evolución humana, con una narrativa amena y sugerente. En un delicioso paseo que va desde el ADN al ozono, del Big Bang a las supernovas, de los dinosaurios a los planetas, o de Aristóteles a Pasteur, el profesor Allègre nos demuestra lo importante que es la ciencia en el mundo y en nuestra vida cotidiana. Una obra con la que disfrutar del inmenso placer que da el conocimiento. «¿Diccionario del amante de la ciencia? Parece una contradicción. ¿Cómo conciliar la objetividad, fundamento de la ciencia, con la subjetividad, el incierto fundamento del amor? Entre las diversas posibilidades que permitía aceptar el reto, he escogido una. La del amor compartido. Volverse hacia los demás, hacerles amar la ciencia facilitando su comprensión y proporcionarles el inmenso placer que procura el progreso en el conocimiento. Y con ese enfoque creo que puedo responder a la pregunta planteada: ¡Todo, en este libro, no es más que amor!» Claude Allègre

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cada descubrimiento científico está plagado de historias, discusiones,anécdotas... Este libro entrelaza muchas de ellas en un viaje de la A ala Z. ¿Cómo han llegado hasta nosotros palabras como «clon», «supernova» o «robot»? ¿En qué momento fueron creadas y con qué criterio todas estas palabras que usamos a diario? Al intentar dar respuesta a estas cuestiones, el periodista científico y escritor Antonio Martínez Ron nos muestra que, si se colocan en una línea de tiempo, la aparición de los términos científicos es en sí misma una nueva forma de contar la historia de la ciencia. Este diccionario es un recorrido de la «A de Átomo» hasta la «Z de Zoonosis» en el que se documenta el momento exacto en que se crearon palabras como «microscopio», «neurona», «láser» o «píxel» y cuál fue la discusión para elegir esos términos y no otros. El resultado es una crónica de cómo, forzada a inventar nombres para los nuevos descubrimientos, la ciencia se convirtió en un motor del lenguaje. Y de cómo los científicos se entregaron a la tarea de etiquetar el asombro.

This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles in this volume of ARCHIMEDES examine particular cases of `reception' in ways that emphasize pressing historiographical and methodological issues. Such issues arise in any consideration of the transmission and appropriation of scientific concepts and practices that originated in the several `centers' of European learning, subsequently to appear (often in considerably altered guise) in regions at the European periphery. They discuss the transfer of new scientific ideas, the mechanisms of their introduction, and the processes of their appropriation at the periphery. The themes that frame the discussions of the complex relationship between the origination of ideas and their reception include the ways in which the ideas of the Scientific Revolution were introduced, the particularities of their expression in each place, the specific forms of resistance encountered by these new ideas, the extent to which such expression and resistance displays national characteristics, the procedures through which new ways of dealing with nature were made legitimate, and the commonalities and differences between the methods developed by scholars for handling scientific issues.

This book was released on 2009-10-31 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in English to analyse the medical category of ‘hermaphroditism’ in Spain over the period 1850-1960. It attempts to show how the relationship between the male and female body, biological ‘sex’, gender and sexuality constantly changed in the light of emerging medical, legal and social influences. Tracing the evolution of the hermaphrodite from its association with the ‘marvellous’ to the association with intersexuality and transexuality, this book emphasizes how the frameworks employed by scientists and doctors reflected not only changing international paradigms with respect to ‘hermaphrodite science’ but also social anxieties about shifting gender roles, the evolving discourse on sexuality and, in particular, the increased visibility of the ‘sexual deviancies’ such as homosexuality and changing legislation on marriage and divorce. Finally, we hope to open a space whereby the voice of ‘hermaphrodites’ and ‘intersexuals’ themselves could be heard in the past as agents in the construction of their own destiny as figures deemed ‘in-between’ by medicine and society.

Download or read book History of Technology Volume 30 written by Ian Inkster and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the development of four key issues in the development of modern Spain; knowledge, manufacturing, energy and telecommunications, and public works. If technology transfer from advanced nations to less developed systems always worked, then the whole world would now be rich. That this is not the case is so obvious, we might well expect that the history of the processes, successes and failures of technology transfer across nations would be a very well-established field of enquiry. In fact, the theme is still a developing one, and the present Special Issue centres on the case of Spain as exemplary in many respects. The collected essays focus upon the four major themes of knowledge, manufacturing, energy, and telecommunications and public works. Essays range in time from the 18th century to the present time, from studies of espionage and early links between craftsmen and savants, to the institutions of technology (from training systems, to private enterprise activity, or patents), to case-studies of silk manufacture, shipbuilding, mining, paper-making, and pharmaceuticals. Each essay offers a broad variety of material to bring to bear on a major problem of world development, past, present, and future.

Download or read book Beyond Borders written by Néstor Herran and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-27 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does scientific knowledge circulate? Does scientific communication shape the making of science? Is the making of science a national endeavour or does it have an international or transnational dimension? Are teaching and research equally relevant in this endeavour? How can history of science react to the challenges posed by the changing practices of science in historical context? Beyond Borders is a book generated at the heart of these fundamental questions. In the last decades, the history of science has attained a high degree of disciplinary maturity and sophistication. However, perception of disciplinary crisis is apparent behind calls for the search of new “big pictures” and their implementation in teaching and communicating the history of science to wider audiences. Temporal and narrative fragmentation are seen as major drawbacks hindering the development of the discipline. In addition, national, linguistic and methodological division is increasingly afflicting its practice. Like other areas in the humanities, and in contrast to the sciences, the history of science has nowadays a pronounced local character which clearly constrains its intellectual output. Challenging this state of affairs is a major aim of this book, which argues for a resolute call for intellectual and methodological pluralism and internationalism. Through a broad diversity of subjects, periods, and geographies, covering from studies of sixteenth-century astrological texts to contextual analysis of twentieth-century X-ray spectroscopy, this collection of papers and historiographical essays offers a fresh overview of the field and its major questions. Beyond Borders revisits five major topics in history of science, namely the early modern map of knowledge, pedagogy and science, science popularization, science and the nation and the geography of scientific centres and peripheries. Engaging with a broad diversity of historiographical and methodological approaches in an international perspective, Beyond Borders is a rich and plural manifesto contributing to the reflective appraisal of history of science as a discipline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the lives, careers, and publications of a group of Spanish Renaissance surgeons as exemplars of both the surgical renaissance occurring across Europe and of the unique context of Spain. In the sixteenth century, European surgeons forged new identities as learned experts who combined university medical degrees with manual skills and practical experience. No longer merely apprentice-trained craftsmen engaged only with healing the exterior wounds and rashes of the body, these learned surgeons actively engaged with the epistemic shifts of the sixteenth century, including new forms of knowledge construction, based in empiricism, and knowledge circulation, based in printing. These surgeons have long been overshadowed by the innovative work of anatomists and botanists but were participants in the same intellectual currents reshaping many aspects of knowledge. Active in communities across both Castile and Aragon, learned surgeons formed an intellectual community of practitioners and scholars who helped reshape surgical knowledge and practice. This book provides an overview of the Spanish learned surgeons, known as médicos y cirujanos, who were influential in universities, on battlefields, at court, and in private practice. It argues that the surgeons’ larger significance rests in their collective identity as part of the broader intellectual shift to empiricism and innovation of the Renaissance. Renaissance Surgeons: Learning and Expertise in the Age of Print is essential reading for upper-level students and scholars of the history of medicine and early modern Spain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the Vesalian anatomical revolution as its point of departure, this volume charts the apparent rise and fall of anatomy studies within universities in sixteenth-century Spain, focussing particularly on primary sources from 1550 to 1600. In doing so, it both clarifies the Spanish contribution to the field of anatomy and disentangles the distorted political and historiographical viewpoints emerging from previous research. Studies of early modern Iberian science have only been carried out coherently and collaboratively in the last few decades, even though fierce debates on the subject have dominated Spanish historiography for more than two centuries. In the field of anatomy studies, many uninformed and biased readings of archival sources have resulted in a very confused picture of the practice of dissection and the teaching of anatomy in the Iberian Peninsula, in which the highly complex conditions of anatomical research within Spain’s national context are often oversimplified. The new empirical evidence that this book brings to light suggests a far more multifaceted narrative of Iberian Renaissance anatomy than has been presented to date.

Download or read book Impurity of Blood written by Joshua Goode and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Francisco Franco courted the Nazis as allies during the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s, the Spanish dictator's racial ideals had little to do with the kind of pure lineage that obsessed the Nazis. Indeed, Franco's idea of race -- that of a National Catholic state as the happy meeting grounds of many different peoples willingly blended together -- differed from most European conceptions of race in this period and had its roots in earlier views of Spanish racial identity from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In Impurity of Blood, Joshua Goode traces the development of racial theories in Spain from 1870 to 1930 in the burgeoning human science of anthropology and in political and social debates, exploring the counterintuitive Spanish proposition that racial mixture rather than racial purity was the bulwark of national strength. Goode begins with a history of ethnic thought in Spain in the medieval and early modern era, and then details the formation of racial thought in Spain's nascent human sciences. He goes on to explore the political, social, and cultural manifestations of racial thought at the dawn of the Franco regime and, finally, discusses its ramifications in Francoist Spain and post--World War II Europe. In the process, he brings together normally segregated historiographies of race in Europe. Goode analyzes the findings of Spanish racial theorists working to forge a Spanish racial identity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when race and racial sciences were most in vogue across Europe. Spaniards devised their own racial identities using scientifically substantiated racial ideas and confronted head-on the apparent limitations of Spain's history by considering them as the defining characteristics of la raza española. The task of the Spanish social sciences was to trace the history of racial fusion: to study both the separate elements of the Spanish composition and the factors that had nurtured them. Ultimately, by exploring the development of Spanish racial thought between 1870 and 1930, Goode demonstrates that national identity based on mixture -- the inclusion rather than the exclusion of different peoples -- did not preclude the establishment of finely wrought and politically charged racial hierarchies. Providing a new comprehensive view of racial thought in Spain and its connections to the larger twentieth-century formation of racial thought in the West, Impurity of Blood will enlighten and inform scholars of Spanish and European history, racial theory, historical anthropology, and the history of science.
