Download or read book A Final Story written by Nasser Zakariya and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards a Final Story is the first history of the modern scientific epic. These epic stories pull together our knowledge of the universe, uniting material and biological origins, from beginning to end. The authors of these epics--among them Carl Sagan, E.O. Wilson, and Steven Weinberg--saw their task as providing an integrated schema that would not only bring together but also go beyond the particular scientific results and disciplines available as they wrote their histories. Nasser Zakariya traces how such epic stories could achieve what they claimed, how they inhabit culture and politics, and how they arrived at the present moment from a period in the previous century when inquiries into ultimate origins were regarded by many as unscientific and unanswerable. These prominent, popular historical narratives of science are important forms of knowledge in their own right. They expose what science means in the wider culture and at the same time focus attention on the near paradoxical nature of a universal history narrated by humanity for humanity.

Book Synopsis I Never Call It Big Bang - George Gamow: The Extraordinary Story Of A Genius Of Physics by : Alessandro Bottino
Download or read book I Never Call It Big Bang - George Gamow: The Extraordinary Story Of A Genius Of Physics written by Alessandro Bottino and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the incredible story of George Gamow, one of the most brilliant and extravagant physicists of the past century. Gamow was born in Russia in 1904 and died in the USA in 1968. He lived his life in a time between the twenties and the sixties, characterized by rapid developments in physics and became a key figure of that time. Gamow's true merits were seldom fully recognized. Yet his ideas are behind a number of Nobel Prizes for Physics during the past century. His remarkable achievements in Nuclear Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology were the result of a combination of expertise and creativity, intuition and, importantly, of a good sense of humor. Together they craft the image of a true revolutionary scientist. Gamow also had a natural talent for popularization and was throughout his life a successful science communicator.The figure of Gamow is interesting also from a cultural perspective. His life stretches across a critical period in our history and moves geographically from Russia to the USA, via Europe. His story provides insights into the complex dialogue between historical events and scientific developments during the twentieth century.Our book builds on the extensive interview that science historian Charles Weiner did with Gamow shortly before his death. Here Gamow offers a complete survey of his scientific achievements. Tapping onto their dialogue, we have enriched the picture of Gamow's figure with materials gathered also from other sources. First of all, we discuss his autobiography, in which Gamow mainly focuses on the education he received in Russia and on his experience as a young scientist in Europe. We contrast this with relevant writings about his, at times, controversial role in the scientific environment of his epoch. Altogether, these form a critical and complex representation of the life and character of this extraordinary scientist and human being.Related Link(s)

Book Synopsis A Physicist's Journey between Science and Faith by : Angelo Tartaglia
Download or read book A Physicist's Journey between Science and Faith written by Angelo Tartaglia and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-02 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science and religion are very often presented as two opposing universes. The former is seen to be the privileged place of disinterested research, the chosen ground for free thought, while the second is often characterized by immutable principles and indisputable dogmas, to which we are called to adhere with blind and absolute trust. Analysis of both “fields” shows, however, that the reality is different: religion also contemplates research and discussion, while even science knows dogmas and prejudices. This is because it is typical of the human being, of any person, to question oneself, to doubt and also some times to close oneself in tetragonal certainties. This volume explores some of the most important themes for anyone seriously wishing to commit themselves along the path of knowledge and explains why one cannot stop at the plurality of answers on the truth, as well as on life and man (creationism and evolutionism). It argues that science and faith are both expressions of humans’ desire to know; they do not weaken each other nor are they mutually exclusive, but rather invite a close and constructive dialogue, free from ideological temptations.
