Book Synopsis Technology's Storytellers by : John M. Staudenmaier
Download or read book Technology's Storytellers written by John M. Staudenmaier and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1989-09-06 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology's Storytellers documents the emergence of the history of technology as a coherent intellectual discipline. Based on an analysis of nearly 300 articles published in Technology and Culture, it proposes a mode of historical research as a communal rather than an individualistic endeavor—looking for patterns of consensus in the authors' choice of time periods, geographical locations, and types of technology to study. It discusses the recurrent themes of the relationship between science and technology and the cultural ambience of technology, and examines the extent to which historians are moving away from a once pervasive ideology of autonomous technological progress. Co-published with the Society for the History of Technology.
Book Synopsis Making 20th Century Science by : Stephen G. Brush
Download or read book Making 20th Century Science written by Stephen G. Brush and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the scientific method has been said to require proposing a theory, making a prediction of something not already known, testing the prediction, and giving up the theory (or substantially changing it) if it fails the test. A theory that leads to several successful predictions is more likely to be accepted than one that only explains what is already known but not understood. This process is widely treated as the conventional method of achieving scientific progress, and was used throughout the twentieth century as the standard route to discovery and experimentation. But does science really work this way? In Making 20th Century Science, Stephen G. Brush discusses this question, as it relates to the development of science throughout the last century. Answering this question requires both a philosophically and historically scientific approach, and Brush blends the two in order to take a close look at how scientific methodology has developed. Several cases from the history of modern physical and biological science are examined, including Mendeleev's Periodic Law, Kekule's structure for benzene, the light-quantum hypothesis, quantum mechanics, chromosome theory, and natural selection. In general it is found that theories are accepted for a combination of successful predictions and better explanations of old facts. Making 20th Century Science is a large-scale historical look at the implementation of the scientific method, and how scientific theories come to be accepted.
Book Synopsis Pieter Bruegel the Elder by : Pieter Bruegel
Download or read book Pieter Bruegel the Elder written by Pieter Bruegel and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2001 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525/30-1569) was a remarkable draftsman and designer of prints as well as a great painter. His independent drawings and designs for engravings and etchings, which were carried out by the leading printmakers of his day, have fascinated scholars and the general public alike since they were created. They have recently been the subject of research that has given rise to a reevaluation of the parameters of Bruegel's oeuvre. The new scholarship has been brought to bear in the texts of the present volume, which accompanies a major exhibition of 140 of Bruegel's prints and drawings to be shown at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, from May to August 2001 and at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from September to December 2001. An international group of experts discusses the new Bruegel who has emerged from recent studies, in essays on the artist's life, his contributions as a draftsman and as a printmaker, the survival of his art, and his relationship to the humanism of his day. They also illuminate his genius in entries on all the works in the exhibition. Every work is illustrated and rich comparative illustrations are included. Provenances an

This book was released on 1855 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . 1860 edition.: ...pro ipso aequipollens (ut volunt) pondus C ut 1 celeritate ut 2, quod ascendat usque ad C seu ad altitudinem 4 pedum. Itaque solo descensu ponderis A duarum librarum ex altitudine unius pedis 2AH, substitutoque aequipollente, effecimus ascensum librae unius ad pedes quatuor, quod est duplum prioris. Ergo tantundem virium lucrati sumus, seu motum mechanicum perpetuum effecimus, quod utique absurdum est. Nec refert, an per motuum leges actu efficere possimus hanc substitutionem; nam inter aequipollentia etiam mente tuto fieri substitutio potest. Quamquam etiam varias rationes excogitaverimus, quibus actu tam propo quam velis efficeretur, ut vis tota corporis A transferretur in corpus C, antea quiescens, sed quod nunc (ipso A ad quietem redacto) sit solum in motu positum. Unde fieret, ut pro pondere bilibri celeritatis ut 1 successura esset libra una celeritatis ut 2, si haec aequipollerent; unde absurdum oriri ostendimus. Neque ista sane inania sunt, aut in logomachiis consistunt, sed in machinis et motibus comparandis maxiinum usum habent. Nam si quis vim habeat ab aqua vel animalibns vel alia causa, per quam corpus grave centum librarum in motu constanti conservetur, quo intra minuti temporis quartam partem absolvere possit circulum horizontalem diametri triginta pedum; alius vero ejus loco eodem tempore duplum pondus nonnisi dimidium circulum constanter absoivere praestet, minore impensa, idque tibi velut in lucrum imputet; deceptum te ac dimidia virium parte frustratum scito. Sed nunc fugatis erroribus, veras et saue admirandas Naturae leges paulo distinctius in Schediasmatis hujus parte secunda proponemus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast empire that Alexander the Great left at his death in 323 BC has few parallels. For the next three hundred years the Greeks controlled a complex of monarchies and city-states that stretched from the Adriatic Sea to India. F. W.

Download or read book Roman Frontier Studies written by Valerie A. Maxfield and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman Frontier Studies presents one hundred of the papers given at the Fifteenth International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies. First published in 1991, it has been out of print since 1995. This new edition is published to satisfy continuing demand for the volume. Geographically the material ranges throughout the frontier regions of the Roman Empire from Britain to the Caucasus, the Low Countries to Upper Egypt, Spain to Jordan. The first section deals with individual frontier regions, fort and fortress sites, army units and related military matters and includes overall surveys of significant work carried out in Britain and Germany in the 1980s. The second section explores three more general themes: the relations between "Romans" and "natives" on the peripheral areas of the Empire, the realities of life in a frontier region, and the problems peculiar to desert frontiers.

Book Synopsis The Celtic Sword by : Radomír Pleiner
Download or read book The Celtic Sword written by Radomír Pleiner and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the history of the long sword, the principal weapon used by Celts during their raids in the 4th-2nd centuries B.C. The Celts adopted this weapon from European Bronze Age cultures and completed its development after it had been superseded by short, stabbing weapons in the warfare of advanced civilizations. Nonetheless, the role played by the Celtic long sword remained considerable. In this first major study of the subject, Pleiner assesses the importance of the sword, and provides the first systematic treatment of the relevant historical and technological problems associated with its manufacture.
Book Synopsis Women in Athenian Law and Life by : Roger Just
Download or read book Women in Athenian Law and Life written by Roger Just and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-03-07 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive account of the Athenians' conception of women during the classical period of the fifth and fourth centuries BC. Though nothing remains that represents the authentic voice of the women themselves, there is a wealth of evidence showing how men sought to define women. By working through a range of material, from the provisions of Athenian law through to the representations of tragedy and comedy, the author builds up, in the manner of an anthropological ethnography, a coherent and integrated picture of the Athenians' notion of `woman'.
