Science Friction: Grins and Groans Among the Titles of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Berrens, Lubertus / Eijkelestam, Walther M., PUBLISHER: Hogrefe & Huber Publishing, That science is not always an entirely serious matter, or at least may appear on first or second glance not to be, is demonstrated by this compilation of the most witty and thought-provoking titles from the biomedical literature. Professor Berrens' perusal of article titles in biomedical databases has brought to light numerous examples of double entendres, intentional or unintentional puns, and apparently absent-minded or narrow-minded goofs that simply make you grin (or groan). His friend and collaborator Walther Eijkelestam then brought his well-sharpened pencil to bear, and has provided the titles with a suitably pointed visual commentary in the form of expressive and cleanly executed cartoons. This entertaining book will provide a little light relief for all those working in science, as well as reminding them to perhaps think twice before deciding on a title for their latest (serious) work.

The Dark Side Of Nature: Science,Society,And The Fantastic

“The artist... will always be a special,isolated,solitary agent with an innate sense of organising matter.” —Odilon Redon“Disturbing,” “hallucinatory”—words that evoke pathology rather than history— have long framed our understanding of Odilon Redon (),a French artist admired by the Surrealists as a precursor in their exploration of the irrational. In this book,Barbara Larson takes a radically different view of Redon,one that does not attempt to deny him melancholia but does go a

Earth Rising II: The Betrayal of Science, Society and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Begich, Nick / Roderick, James, PUBLISHER: Earthpulse Press, In Earth Rising II, Begich and Roderick explore several new technology areas as well as their implications for personal privacy, security and the state of democracy in the beginning of the 21st century. In the early s in the weeks before Watergate this book begins with the mysterious disappearance an airplane carrying the United States House Majority Leader Hale Boggs and Alaska Congressman Nick Begich. Decades later, documents surface that implicate the government. Their fight against a corrupt FBI, a morally bankrupt Executive Branch and fight for an open government, fully accountable to the people, may have contributed to their demise. That decades old event became the springboard to the exposure of technologies contained in this book's pages. The book includes: New Underwater Sonars and the Possible Death of the Seas. Marine Mammal and Whale Beachings A Military Side Effect. Energy in the Air and the Implications of Cell Phone Technology. Dataveillance, Security, Privacy and the End of the Road. Information Overload and the Impacts of Technology. Implantable Chips and the New Economy.Using over 300 referenced sources, the hallmark of Begich and Roderick's research efforts, concludes with a discussion of the implications of these technologies and alternative directions that are possible. The 21st Century has begun it is this generation that will determine the direction of our technology as either our master or our servant. Earth Rising II will challenge readers to seek a better direction for the people of the planet rather than the betrayal of our science, our society and our individual souls.

The Art and Science of Optical Design

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shannon, Robert Rennie / Shannon, R. R., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The Art and Science of Optical Design is a comprehensive introduction to lens design, covering the fundamental physical principles and key engineering issues. Several practical examples of modern computer-aided lens design are worked out in detail from start to finish. The basic theory and results of optics are presented early on in the book, along with a discussion of optical materials. Aberrations, and their correction, and image analysis are then covered in great detail. Subsequent chapters deal with design optimization and tolerance analysis. Several design examples are then given, beginning with basic lens design forms, and progressing to advanced systems such as gradient index and diffractive optical components. In covering all aspects of optical design, including the use of modern lens design software, this book will be invaluable to students of optical engineering as well as to anyone engaged in optical design at any stage.

Born to Believe: God, Science, and the Origin of Ordinary

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Newberg, Andrew / Waldman, Mark Robert, PUBLISHER: Free Press, "Born to Believe" was previously published in hardcover as "Why We Believe What We Believe." Prayer...meditation...speaking in tongues. What do these spiritual activities share and how do they differ? Why do some people believe in God, while others embrace atheism? From the ordinary to the extraordinary, beliefs give meaning to the mysteries of life. They motivate us, provide us with our individual uniqueness, and ultimately change the structure and function of our brains. In "Born to Believe," Andrew Newberg, MD, and Mark Waldman reveal -- for the very first time -- how our complex views, memories, superstitions, morals, and beliefs are created by the neural activities of the brain. Supported by groundbreaking original research, they explain how our brains construct our deepest convictions and fondest assumptions about reality and the world around us. Using science, psychology, and religion, the authors offer recommendations for exercising your brain in order to develop a more life-affirming, flexible range of attitudes. Knowing how the brain builds meaning, value, spirituality, and truth into your life will change forever the way you look at yourself and the world.
