Future Fear: Fear of the Future from Prehistory to Climate Change

Future Fear: Fear of the Future from Prehistory to Climate Change by John Potts
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 233 Pages | ISBN : 3031594118 | 25.8 MB

This book places the contemporary fear of climate change in historical perspective, showing that throughout human history the dominant perspective on the future has been one of fear. Across a broad historical sweep, the book describes the varied means employed to predict and control the future: magic, religion, science, and technology. Future Fear traces fear of the future from prehistory to the present, culminating in the contemporary fear of imminent climate change catastrophe. Consideration is also given to hope in a more positive future, revealing that visions of the future have often been a mingling of fear and hope.

Exploring the History of New Zealand Astronomy: Trials, Tribulations, Telescopes and Transits

Exploring the History of New Zealand Astronomy: Trials, Tribulations, Telescopes and Transits by Wayne Orchiston
English | PDF (True) | 2016 | 707 Pages | ISBN : 3319225650 | 26.4 MB

Dr. Orchiston is a foremost authority on the subject of New Zealand astronomy, and here are the collected papers of his fruitful studies in this area, including both those published many years ago and new material. The papers herein review traditional Maori astronomy, examine the appearance of nautical astronomy practiced by Cook and his astronomers on their various stopovers in New Zealand during their three voyagers to the South Seas, and also explore notable nineteenth century New Zealand observatories historically, from significant telescopes now located in New Zealand to local and international observations made during the 1874 and 1882 transits of Venus and the nineteenth and twentieth century preoccupation of New Zealand amateur astronomers with comets and meteors.

The Great Knowledge Transcendence: The Rise of Western Science and Technology Reframed by Dengjian Jin
English | PDF (True) | 2016 | 316 Pages | ISBN : 1137527935 | 2.6 MB

This book illustrates the unnaturalness of modern science and technology by tracing their cognitive, evolutionary, and religious origins. It elaborates that all premodern knowers faced inherent limits, and the West was able to develop modern science and technology because of its inherent contradictions forcing the transcendence of limitations.

Walking with Christiaan Huygens: From Archimedes' Influence to Unsung Contributions in Modern Science

Walking with Christiaan Huygens: From Archimedes' Influence to Unsung Contributions in Modern Science by Tijmen Jan Moser , Enders Anthony Robinson
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 339 Pages | ISBN : 3031461576 | 74.7 MB

Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) left an indelible mark on the fields of mathematics, physics, astronomy, and geophysics. Despite his groundbreaking contributions, history has often overlooked his pivotal role. While two of the most famous achievements in physics are Newton’s theory of gravity and Einstein’s general theory of relativity, less well-known is that Huygens provided central elements to these theories. This book stands to correct that deficit. For example, we show how Huygens used symmetry arguments to derive conservation laws for momentum and for energy, and what Einstein later called the principle of equivalence to derive the formula for centrifugal force.
