This collection is the first proceedings volume of the lectures delivered within the framework of the Israel Colloquium for the History, Philosophy and Sociology of Science, in its year of inauguration 1981-82. It thus marks the beginning of a new venture. Rather than attempting to express an ideology of the l}nity of science, this collection in fact aims at presenting a kaleidoscopic picture of the variety of views about science and within science. Three main disciplines come together in this volume. The first of scientists, the second of historians and sociologists of science, the third of philosophers interested in science. The scientists try to present the scientific body of knowledge in areas where the scientific adventure kindles the imagination of the culture of our time. At the same of course, they register their own reflections on the nature of this body time, of knowledge and on its likely course of future development. For the historians and sociologists, in contrast, science is there to be studied diachronically, as a process, on the one hand, and synchronically, as a social institution, on the other. As for the phil9sophers, finally, their contribution to this series is not meant to remain within the confines of what is usually seen as the philosophy of science proper, or to be limited to the analysis of the scientific mode of reasoning and thinking: it is allowed, indeed encouraged, to encompass alter native, and on occasion even competing, modes of thought.

"Physics manifests itself in our life, like the metamorphoses of a kaleidoscope. This book is written by professional scientists who have devoted their entire lives to finding answers to the riddles posed by nature. The authors investigate this from the very first chapter: the curious reader will find out why the sky and the sea are blue, why the rivers are meandering, how natural waveguides work, why the climate changes and so on ... Further, the path of knowledge leads from the beauties and uncovered mysteries of nature to the physics of everyday life. From the train in the gallery, to the secrets of a glass harmonica and a good violin. Over an aperitif, the authors ask questions about the secrets of bubbles of champagne and wine tears on the walls of the glass, knowing the answers to which will help you to be known as an experienced sommelier. Then you enter the kitchen: the physical phenomena around ovens and stoves are endless, from microwaves to cooking, with corresponding phase transformations. Making pizza requires deep thought, not to mention pasta, where Italian and German philosophies collide. The physics behind making good (or bad) coffee is very interesting, and you can't go wrong. After an excursion to the kitchen, the authors invite us to a strange quantum world, believing that the themes of the last part may be on the verge of understanding for the uninitiated. Indeed, the quality of the text and the splendor of the illustrations convey the aesthetics of the physics of the atomic and subatomic world. The chapter entitled Physics, Geometry and Beauty deals with fullerenes, Leonardo, Piero della Francesca and Luca Pacioli. Even though our senses are already heightened by wine, cooking and good coffee, perhaps it is in the field of quantum physics that two cultures, once united, and then separated by Aristotelian constructions, again merge into world harmony"--

This text embodies at advanced and postgraduate level the professional and technical experience of two experienced mathematicians. It covers a wide range of applications relevant in many areas, including actuarial science, communications, engineering, finance, gambling, house purchase, lotteries, management, operational research, pursuit and search.In mathematical studies drawn from algebra, geometry, analysis, statistics and computational methodology, applications are discussed in separate chapters, each prefaced by a summary of content and relevance. Some branches of the mathematics covered might be regarded as old-fashioned but they are still vigorous and relevant today.The material is original, either in content, presentations or both, and includes topics not usually found in other texts. It treats serious mathematics respectfully and, if sometimes light in its touch, maintains the instructive tenor. Examines a wide range of mathematical applications in many areas, including actuarial science, communications, engineering, finance, gambling, management, operational research, pursuit and search Includes a chapter of ‘mathematical teasers’ Each chapter is prefaced by a summary of its context and relevance

Kids will learn how things they encounter every day operate by building their own models with this hands-on activity book. Projects include building a working model of the human hand's muscles, bones, and tendons using drinking straws, tape, and string; using a pair of two-liter bottles and a length of rubber tubing to learn how a toilet flushes; and discovering how musical instruments make sounds by fashioning a harmonica, saxophone, drum, flute, or oboe. All devices are designed to use recycled or nearly free materials and common tools. Kids are encouraged to modify and improve the designs, or create an entirely new device using the concepts explored. Each project includes materials and tools lists, step-by-step instructions with photographs, a summary of the science concept demonstrated, and follow-up questions to gauge student understanding for use in the classroom.

"In Lies We Trust," reads the banner. This is most often true about the lies we tell ourselves, or are suggested to us as being true for political objectives. The notion of universal entropy, projected through the Big-Bang theory, and its derivative, the Hydrogen Fusion Sun, are glaring examples. The Hydrogen-Sun theory is so finely spun that humanity has tied itself into knots in efforts to replicate the solar hydrogen fusion for power production on Earth. It is said that if the Sun can do it, so can we. The problem is that the Sun is not so powered, but is electrically powered with plasma fusion occurring on its surface. Consequently, decades of large-scale scientific efforts have been wasted by clinging to a myth in science that may have been intentionally created for this effect, which keeps the door closed to the energy abundance in plasma in space. Similar myths have similar effects in the social domain. We may not break free, unless we do so on both fronts. The frame of the story presented here, is that of a fictional, international peace conference organized by the youth of the world, convened in Russia in a city on the Black Sea. The story itself is one of the scenes of the Kaleidoscope of human superlatives that keeps on turning. In the Kaleidoscope Project, the selected stories are gems of numerous types. The one presented here is from Book 2, The Ice Age Challenge, of my epic series of novels The Lodging for the Rose. The Kaleidoscope stories are presented separately, because their specific focus has become increasingly important in the world, for our future. The Kaleidoscope Project is a subsequent feature. I started to write books that I would love, that are filled with a kaleidoscope of superlatives that define the riches of our humanity. My writing project began with two small novels, Flight Without Limits - a science fiction experiment to open the portal to the human superlatives - and a larger novel, Brighter than the Sun - a fictional project to explore the human dimension of the greatest intentional catastrophe that humanity has prepared against itself, termed "thermonuclear war" that is still on the agenda. The larger novel explores against the background of catastrophe, the superlatives of the inner and enduring riches of our humanity. But the work didn't stop there. It just began. It became apparent that the human superlatives are so rich that they are best explored simply by themselves, for their own merit, so that a super-imposed context would tend to dilute them. The result became a series of twelve novels that I have named, The Lodging for the Rose. The work became a kaleidoscope-experience of superlatives, where new vistas of our inner riches come into view with every turn. As one might expect, many of the vistas are precious in themselves, so that it soon became apparent that quite a number of them stand on their own as complete stories and are important to raise up a specific focus that is of critical importance. I cherish these stories. Consequently, I started to share them in different forms, including now in printed form. The separate printing also allows a larger type face to be used.
