Book excerpt: During its 200 year history, the Philosophical Magazine has been transformed from a journal that published papers on all aspects of science to one that now specialises in physics and more latterly in condensed matter. Taylor & Francis have produced four beautiful volumes, edited by E. A. Davis from the University of Leicester, charting the course of scientific progress as recorded in the Philosophical Magazine since its first issue in 1798. This outstanding publishing achievement outlines the major developments of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, taking four fifty year periods. Beginning with the period 1798 to 1850, each volume chronicles half a century of scientific progress, containing not only classic works by all the key scientists of the era, but also includes papers of an amusing and controversial nature, reflecting the thinking of the time. The four volumes are beautifully produced - the papers being reproduced in their original form and preceded by informative commentaries setting the papers in the context of their time. They include plates of historic apparatus and portraits of celebrated scientists. This series has now become a comprehensive review of scientific thought and achievement in the physical sciences during the last two hundred years and will be an essential purchase for every serious scientific library or physics department. Volume One: 1798-1850 includes Brewster, Faraday, Airy, Herschel, Davy, Joule, Volta and Banks. Volume Two: 1850-1900 includes Kelvin, Foucault, Kirchoff, Bunsen, Rydberg, Zeeman, Maxwell, Rayleigh, Dewar, Hertz and J.J. Thomson. Volume Three: 1900-1950 includes J.J. Thomson, Bohr, Rutherford, Soddy, Millikan, Mosely, Planck, Gieger, W. L. Bragg, Compton and de Broglie. Volume Four: 1950-1998 includes Hirsch, Whelan, Brown, Cockayne, Anderson, Mott, Spear, Sadoc, van Vleck, Onsager, Pippard, Frank, Heine, Ziman, Thouless and Pepper.

Download or read book Managing diabetes, managing medicine written by Martin D. Moore and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY) open access license. This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Through its study of diabetes care in twentieth-century Britain, Managing diabetes, managing medicine offers the first historical monograph to explore how the decision-making and labour of medical professionals became subject to bureaucratic regulation and managerial oversight. Where much existing literature has cast health care management as either a political imposition or an assertion of medical control, this work positions managerial medicine as a co-constructed venture. Although driven by different motives, doctors, nurses, professional bodies, government agencies and international organisations were all integral to the creation of managerial systems, working within a context of considerable professional, political, technological, economic and cultural change.

Download or read book China's Cold War Science Diplomacy written by Gordon Barrett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early decades of the Cold War, the People's Republic of China remained outside much of mainstream international science. Nevertheless, Chinese scientists found alternative channels through which to communicate and interact with counterparts across the world, beyond simple East/West divides. By examining the international activities of elite Chinese scientists, Gordon Barrett demonstrates that these activities were deeply embedded in the Chinese Communist Party's wider efforts to win hearts and minds from the 1940s to the 1970s. Using a wide range of archival material, including declassified documents from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Archive, Barrett provides fresh insights into the relationship between science and foreign relations in the People's Republic of China.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Social Science written by Harold Kincaid and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-23 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philosophy of the social sciences considers the underlying explanatory powers of the social (or human) sciences, such as history, economics, anthropology, politics, and sociology. The type of questions covered includes the methodological (the nature of observations, laws, theories, and explanations) to the ontological — whether or not these sciences can explain human nature in a way consistent with common-sense beliefs. This Handbook is a major, comprehensive look at the key ideas in the field, is guided by several principles. The first is that the philosophy of social science should be closely connected to, and informed by, developments in the sciences themselves. The second is that the volume should appeal to practicing social scientists as well as philosophers, with the contributors being both drawn from both ranks, and speaking to ongoing controversial issues in the field. Finally, the volume promotes connections across the social sciences, with greater internal discussion and interaction across disciplinary boundaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical Ethnobiology presents a unique approach to analyzing human-nature interactions, using theoretical and methodological aspects to examine historical scientific knowledge. This book disseminates the notion that past local narratives of biodiversity influence the determination of both historical and modern scientific decisions. Beginning with a brief history of ethnobiology’s development, this book delves into conceptual models, historical knowledge areas, and the theoretical matrix of ethnobiology. This book also focuses on the importance of memory including topics of memory production by human in different epochs and how individual memory records contribute to social history and the understanding of the past effects of human interaction with nature. Looking ahead, it discusses the importance of records such as these for determining future mankind’s relationships with nature to preserve biodiversity and ensure conservation. Historical Ethnobiology is the first book to focus on past human-nature interactions and their interpretations in today’s scientific culture. This book is an excellent resource for students and researchers in biology, ethnobiology, and anthropology. Presents an inclusive interpretation and use of historical botanical, zoological and geographical registers kept in institutions to reconnect the past with modern issues Illuminates documental analysis of past interactions between humans and nature Provides a comprehensive and accessible reference point to provide insights into a rapidly growing field
