This book is a compendium of essays on various science related topics which are at the cutting edge of modern science and technology. Sixteen different science topics are discussed in the book, which include origin and evolution of the universe, the microscopic world of the atom, unification of the forces of nature, our planet earth and its neighbors, modern developments in synthetic biology, global warming, artificial intelligence and the explosive growth of information technology. The book exposes its readers having a modest science background to some of the most exciting developments in modern science. Keeping this in view the discussion is kept at a simple level without excessive use of mathematics and abstract concepts. While aiming at simplicity and coherence every effort is made not to compromise on accuracy. We are living in an era where scientists specializing in a particular area are hardly aware of the happenings in related disciplines. This book aims at bridging this gap. Finally there are sizable sections of science educated lay public who are curious to understand the how and the why of modern scientific developments at a very basic level. It is hoped that this book will be helpful in satisfying their curiosity.

An essential introductory textbook that shows students how science came to be such an important aspect of modern culture. Lively and readable, it provides a rich historical survey of the major developments in scientific thought, from the Ancient Greeks to the twentieth century. John Henry also explains how new scientific theories have emerged and analyses their impact on contemporary thinking. This is an ideal core text for modules on the History of Science, Medicine and Technology, or the History and Philosophy of Science - or a supplementary text for broader modules on European History or Intellectual History - which may be offered at the upper levels of an undergraduate History, Philosophy or Science degree. In addition it is a crucial resource for students who may be studying the history of science for the first time as part of a taught postgraduate degree in European History, Intellectual History, Science or Philosophy.

In this new edition of the top-selling coursebook, seasoned historians Peter J. Bowler and Iwan Rhys Morus expand on their authoritative survey of how the development of science has shaped our world. Exploring both the history of science and its influence on modern thought, the authors chronicle the major developments in scientific thinking, from the revolutionary ideas of the seventeenth century to contemporary issues in genetics, physics, and more. Thoroughly revised and expanded, the second edition draws on the latest research and scholarship. It also contains two entirely new chapters: one that explores the impact of computing on the development of science, and another that shows how the West used science and technology as tools for geopolitical expansion. Designed for entry-level college courses and as a single-volume introduction for the general reader, Making Modern Science presents the history of science not as a series of names and dates, but as an interconnected and complex web of relationships joining science and society.

The development of science, according to respected scholars Peter J. Bowler and Iwan Rhys Morus, expands our knowledge and control of the world in ways that affect-but are also affected by-society and culture. In Making Modern Science, a text designed for introductory college courses in the history of science and as a single-volume introduction for the general reader, Bowler and Morus explore both the history of science itself and its influence on modern thought. Opening with an introduction that explains developments in the history of science over the last three decades and the controversies these initiatives have engendered, the book then proceeds in two parts. The first section considers key episodes in the development of modern science, including the Scientific Revolution and individual accomplishments in geology, physics, and biology. The second section is an analysis of the most important themes stemming from the social relations of science-the discoveries that force society to rethink its religious, moral, or philosophical values. Making Modern Science thus chronicles all major developments in scientific thinking, from the revolutionary ideas of the seventeenth century to the contemporary issues of evolutionism, genetics, nuclear physics, and modern cosmology. Written by seasoned historians, this book will encourage students to see the history of science not as a series of names and dates but as an interconnected and complex web of relationships between science and modern society. The first survey of its kind, Making Modern Science is a much-needed and accessible introduction to the history of science, engagingly written for undergraduates and curious readers alike.

This work demonstrates the striking kinship between developments in modern physics and Bergson's own work on intuition, determinism, and the consciousness of the observer. Taking as a starting point the schism between physics and the life sciences, the contributors follow the diverse paths of Bergson's thought towards a restoration of epistemological unity. Scientists, philosophers, psychologists, and students of general science will find this volume interesting. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
