Sciences of the Ancient Hindus: Unlocking Nature in the

Modern science and medicine would be unrecognizable,and far more primitive,without the immense contribution of the ancient Hindus. They invented everyday essentials such as our base-ten number system and zero as a numeral. The ancient Hindus also developed a sophisticated system of medicine with its mind-body approach known as Ayurveda; detailed anatomical and surgical knowledge of the human body,including cataract surgery and the so-called plastic surgery; metallurgical methods of extraction and purif

Medieval Cities: Their Origins and the Revival of Trade

Nearly a century after it was first published in ,Medieval Cities remains one of the most provocative works of medieval history ever written. Here,Henri Pirenne argues that it was not the invasion of the Germanic tribes that destroyed the civilization of antiquity,but rather the closing of Mediterranean trade by Arab conquest in the seventh century. The consequent interruption of long-distance commerce accelerated the decline of the ancient cities of Europe. Pirenne challenges conventio

Vico and Naples: The Urban Origins of Modern Social Theory

Vico and Naples is an intellectual portrait of the Neapolitan philosopher Giambattista Vico () that reveals the politics and motivations of one of Europe's first scientists of society. According to the commonplaces of the literature on the Neapolitan,Vico was a solitary figure who,at a remove from the political life of his larger community,steeped himself in the recondite debates of classical scholarship to produce his magnum opus,the New Science. Barbara Ann Naddeo shows,

Physics of the Life Sciences

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Newman, Jay, PUBLISHER: Springer, Originally developed for the author's course at Union College, this text is designed for life science students who need to understand the connections of fundamental physics to modern biology and medicine. Almost all areas of modern life sciences integrally involve physics in both experimental techniques and in basic understanding of structure and function. Physics of the Life Sciences is not a watered-down, algebra-based engineering physics book with sections on relevant biomedical topics added as an afterthought. This authoritative and engaging text, which is designed to be covered in a two-semester course, was written with a thoroughgoing commitment to the needs and interests of life science students. Although covering most of the standard topics in introductory physics in a more or less traditional sequence, the author gives added weight and space to concepts and applications of greater relevance to the life sciences. Students benefit from occasional sidebars using calculus to derive fundamental relations, but only algebra and trigonometry are used to explore the basic physical concepts in the main body of the text and to solve end-of-chapter problems. --Course-tested text directed specifically at the needs of Life and Health Science and Pre-medical students --Fully integrates biology, biophysics and medical techniques into the presentation of modern physics --Profusely illustrated with nearly 900 photos and line drawings, many in full color, to illuminate the concepts and problems --Chapters contain three types of learning aids for the student: open-ended questions, multiple-choice questions, and quantitative problems in addition to numerous worked examples --Solutions manual available for instructors

Transforming Power of the Nuns: Women, Religion, and

Transforming Power of the Nuns: Women, Religion, and Cultural Change in Ireland, : Mary Peckham Magray argues that the Irish Catholic cultural revolution in the nineteenth century was spearheaded not by male elites, as previous scholarship has claimed, but rather by those most overlooked and underestimated women in Ireland: the nuns. Once thought to be merely passive servants of the male clerical hierarchy, women&apos s religious orders were in fact at the very centre of the creation of a devout Catholic culture in Ireland. Magray&apos s innovative work challenges some of most widely held assumptions of social history in nineteenth century Ireland.

Acquiring Genomes: A Theory of the Origins of Species

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Margulis, Lynn / Sagan, Dorion / Sagan, Dorion, PUBLISHER: Basic Books, How do new species evolve? Although Darwin identified inherited variation as the creative force in evolution, he never formally speculated where it comes from. His successors thought that new species arise from the gradual accumulation of random mutations of DNA. But despite its acceptance in every major textbook, there is no documented instance of it. Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan take a radically new approach to this question. They show that speciation events are not, in fact, rare or hard to observe. Genomes are acquired by infection, by feeding, and by other ecological associations, and then inherited. "Acquiring Genomes" is the first work to integrate and analyze the overwhelming mass of evidence for the role of bacterial and other symbioses in the creation of plant and animal diversity. It provides the most powerful explanation of speciation yet given.

Postmodernism and the Social Sciences: A Thematic Approach

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hollinger, Robert, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The sudden and extensive growth of the body of postmodernist literature has created a daunting task for social science undergraduate students--to separate, assess, and digest those materials they will find meaningful before they have acquired the knowledge to make appropriate choices. In Postmodernism and the Social Sciences, Robert Hollinger presents a valuable compendium of postmodernist writing relating to the social sciences. He reviews key postmodern discussions on such critical topics as values, identity, the self and society, and compares postmodern thinking with the enlightenment project, modernism, modernity, Marxism, and critical theory. Hollinger's treatment of leading postmodern theorists such as Foucault, Lyotard, Baudrillard, Derrida, Deleuze, Guattari, and how they have challenged traditional social scientific understanding make this an excellent volume for courses on social theory.
