This volume presents Professor Cohen's original interpretation of the revolution that marked the beginnings of modern science and set Newtonian science as the model for the highest level of achievement in other branches of science. It shows that Newton developed a special kind of relation between abstract mathematical constructs and the physical systems that we observe in the world around us by means of experiment and critical observation.
Alice Norton was a college freshman when the Great Depression left her unable to afford her tuition. Forced to quit school, she did not give up her dreams. While working at a library, Norton wrote a novel inspired by a patron, The Prince Commands, which was published in her early 20s. Because the publisher doubted boys would buy an adventure story written by a woman, Alice Norton changed her name to the masculine "Andre Norton." Norton found her passion, writing more than 100 science fiction and fantasy novels, many for young adults.
New Thinking About Evolution (21st Century Science)
The 21st century, like the 20th century before it, promises to be a time of extraordinary scientific growth and innovation. However, the hope for new cures and explanations about the world is often accompanied by new ethical concerns. This series examines the science behind three current fields of research and explores the implications for future scientific developments. Readers are also introduced to some of the controversies surrounding these subject areas to better understand the risks and benefits associated with modern advances.
One Two Three . . . Infinity: Facts and Speculations of Science
One Two Three... Infinity, subtitled Facts and Speculations of Science, was originally written by George Gamow in 1947 and then revised somewhat in 1961 (unfortunately, George Gamow died in 1968 and it was the last revision). It's an amazing tour of some of the more interesting bits of physics, with a bit of mathematics and biology thrown in, covering in some depth many separate topics in under 350 pages.
The Manual of Scientific Style: A Guide for Authors, Editors, and Researchers
The Manual of Scientific Style addresses all stylistic matters in the relevant disciplines of physical and biological science, medicine, health, and technology. It presents consistent guidelines for text, data, and graphics, providing a comprehensive and authoritative style manual that can be used by the professional scientist, science editor, general editor, science writer, and researcher.
