In To Explain the World, pre-eminent theoretical physicist Steven Weinberg offers a rich and irreverent history of science from a unique perspective - that of a scientist. Moving from ancient Miletus to medieval Baghdad to Oxford, and from the Museum of Alexandria to the Royal Society of London, he shows that the scientists of the past not only did not understand what we understand about the world - they did not understand what there is to understand. Yet eventually, through the struggle to solve such mysteries as the backward movement of the planets and the rise and fall of tides, the modern discipline of science emerged.

This work is a unique introductory A–Z resource detailing the scientific achievements of the contemporary world and analyzing the key scientific trends, discoveries, and personalities of the modern age. An authoritative reference survey of the modern age of scientific discovery, Science in the Contemporary World is a scholarly yet accessible chronicle of scientific achievement from the discovery of penicillin to the latest developments in space exploration and cloning. Over 200 A–Z entries cover the full spectrum of contemporary science, with emphasis on its diverse nature. Within the last 50 years, medicine has eradicated the killer disease smallpox, but primarily because the virus can live only in humans. Space probes have revealed that on Europa, a moon of Jupiter, an ice-capped ocean with the potential to support life probably exists. Marvels from animal psychology and deep-sea exploration are also explored extensively.

Selected and introduced by Richard Dawkins, The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing is a celebration of the finest writing by scientists for a wider audience - revealing that many of the best scientists have displayed as much imagination and skill with the pen as they have in the laboratory.This is a rich and vibrant collection that captures the poetry and excitement of communicating scientific understanding and scientific effort from 1900 to the present day. Professor Dawkins has included writing from a diverse range of scientists, some of whom need no introduction, and some of whoseworks have become modern classics, while others may be less familiar - but all convey the passion of great scientists writing about their science.

Your guide to science, from the Big Bang to AI Whether you wish to discover the basics of science or catch up on its latest developments, this short accessible guide is for you. YOUNIVERSE describes in simple terms the world you are inseparably a part of: what it is, how it works and your place in it – insofar as these things are known. The text has been vetted by 13 distinguished scientists. Journey now through time and space, a world of the unimaginably big and the inconceivably small – though the marvels of science. *PRAISE FOR YOUNIVERSE* ‘This is a fine piece of work... very entertaining and informative... It should appeal and be useful to the generalist who wants an overview of science.’ Sir Peter Ratcliffe, 2019 Nobel Prize winner and head of clinical research at the Francis Crick Institute

Current Controversies in Philosophy of Science asks twelve philosophers to debate six questions that are driving contemporary work in this area of philosophy. The questions are: I. Are Boltzmann Brains Bad? II. Does Mathematical Explanation Require Mathematical Truth? III. Does Quantum Mechanics Suggest Spacetime is Nonfundamental? IV. Is Evolution Fundamental When It Comes to Defining Biological Ontology? V. Is Chance Ontologically Fundamental? VI. Are Sexes Natural Kinds? These debates explore the philosophical foundations of particular scientific disciplines, while also examining more general issues in the philosophy of science. The result is a book that’s perfect for the advanced philosophy student, building up their knowledge of the foundations of the field and engaging with its cutting-edge questions. Preliminary descriptions of each chapter, annotated lists of further readings for each controversy, and study questions for each chapter help provide clearer and richer snapshots of active controversies for all readers.

This book features 35 of best papers from the 9th European Science Education Research Association Conference, ESERA 2011, held in Lyon, France, September 5th-9th 2011. The ESERA international conference featured some 1,200 participants from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe as well as North and South America offering insight into the field at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. This book presents studies that represent the current orientations of research in science education and includes studies in different educational traditions from around the world. It is organized into six parts around the three poles (content, students, teachers) and their interrelations of science education: after a general presentation of the volume (first part), the second part concerns SSI (Socio-Scientific Issues) dealing with new types of content, the third the teachers, the fourth the students, the fifth the relationships between teaching and learning, and the sixth the teaching resources and the curricula.

It is not unusual today to hear references to the New Science. Scientists in many disciplines recognise the need for a new paradigm; a science encompassing all facets of knowledge: current mainstream science, metaphysics, the paranormal, religions, philosophy, New Age, ancient knowledge. The Emerging New Science presents the big picture and can accommodate all fields of knowledge, embracing life, mind, the universe and consciousness, well beyond the narrow field of current science, which only handles the surface of the universe, and in fact is essentially limited to non-harmonic laws and principles, with subsequent non-harmonic technologies, resulting in pollution, harmful energies to life, extreme inefficiencies of energy generation, and deficiencies in energy supplies. The multiverse is a holographic fractal system of ordered dimensional levels for the evolution of consciousness. There is no dualism, infinite regression, once the subjectivity/objectivity illusion is understood. The purposes of life and the universe are known today, though not realised by the general public and the scientific community. However, one must firstly know what life itself is. Is it merely matter, mechanisms or is there something else? Science, in pushing its boundaries into more advanced regions of knowledge, such as, in particular, the origin of life and the universe, without a shift or expansion of its existing paradigm, must either utterly admit failure, or arrogantly grossly alter truth by forcing the miracles of creation to fit into its hugely limited framework. Leading visionary physicist Richard Feynman states it succinctly: What we need is imaginationwe have to find a new view of the world.

How did life on Earth begin? Is artificial intelligence possible? How do children acquire language? does intelligent life exist elsewhere in the galaxy? Is reality simply based on individual perception? These are only a few of the questions science has grappled with for centuries. New evidence gives way to more questions, and new discoveries destroy old paradigms, yet definitive answers have yet to be reached. As we enter the next century of science, where do we stand with the Big Questions? In the spirit of the previous book, which framed each Big Question as a mock jury trial with prosecution, defense, and verdict rendered, Paradigms Regained approaches the same questions in the form of an appeal and, in each case, decides whether or not the previous verdict still holds, based on the new evidence. The result is a unique compendium of current scientific theory, as well as a fascinating glimpse into future paradigms. A brilliant, accessible, and illuminating survey, Paradigms Regained offers provocative insight into modern scientific thought. The origins of life...extraterrestrials . . . our genetic destiny . . . the roots of language and learning . . . quantum physics and the shape of our universe . . . artificial intelligence. These are the mysteries of modern science and the unanswered questions that propel further exploration. In Paradigms Regained, John Casti engages in a lively debate of the "Big Questions" and presents a fascinating overview of current scientific theory on the cusp of the next century of discovery. Where Paradigms Lost was a compelling amalgam of the science of this century, Paradigms Regained offers a deeper examination of these issues in light of new evidence and points toward the future of science.
