An Introduction to Science Studies
Author: John M. Ziman
language: en
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Release Date: 1987-07-23
The purpose of this book is to give a coherent account of the different perspectives on science and technology that are normally studied under various disciplinary heads such as philosophy of science, sociology of science and science policy. It is intended for students embarking on courses in these subjects and assumes no special knowledge of any science. It is written in a direct and simple style, and technical language is introduced very sparingly. As various perspectives are sketched out in this book, the reader moves towards a consistent conception of contemporary science as a rapidly changing social institution that has already grown out of its traditional forms and plays a central role in society at large. It will appeal to students in a wide range of scientific disciplines and complement well Professor Ziman's earlier books.
Research Progress in Chemical Physics and Biochemical Physics
The editors and contributors of this volume will be quite pleased if the readers can understand and accept the contents and ideas of this monograph. In this book, we decided to include information about the synthesis and investigation properties of epoxy containing compounds and composite materials on their basis, such as: hydrosilylation reactions of polymethylhydrosiloxane with acrylates and methacrylates and solid polymer electrolyte membranes on their basis; biodegradable binary and ternary blends of cellulose and ethyl cellulose with synthetic and natural polymers; biodetoxication of aroma.

This scientific biography of the mathematician Joseph Liouville is divided into two parts. The first part is a chronological account of Liouville's career including a description of the institutions he worked in, his relations with his teachers, colleagues and students, and the historical context of his works. It portrays the French scientific community in a period when Germany and England had surpassed France as the leading nations in mathematics and physics. The second part of the book gives a detailed analysis of Liouville's major contributions to mathematics and mechanics. The gradual development of Liouville's ideas, as reflected in his publications and notebooks, are related to the works of his predecessors and his contemporaries as well as to later developments in the field. On the basis of Liouville's unpublished notes the book reconstructs Liouville's hitherto unknown theories of stability of rotating masses of fluid, potential theory, Galois theory and electrodynamics. It also incorporates valuable added information from Liouville's notes regarding his works on differentiation of arbitrary order, integration in finite terms, Sturm-Liouville theory, transcendental numbers, doubly periodic functions, geometry and mechanics.
