by Victoria Carroll (Author)The concept of eccentricity was central to how people in the nineteenth century understood their world. This monograph is the first scholarly history of eccentricity. Carroll explores how discourses of eccentricity were established to make sense of individuals who did not seem to fit within an increasingly organized social and economic order. She focuses on the self-taught natural philosopher William Martin, the fossilist Thomas Hawkins and the taxidermist Charles ...

by Jordi Jose (Author)Stars are the main factories of element production in the universe through a suite of complex and intertwined physical processes. Such stellar alchemy is driven by multiple nuclear interactions that through eons have transformed the pristine, metal-poor ashes leftover by the Big Bang into a cosmos with 100 distinct chemical species. The products of stellar nucleosynthesis frequently get mixed inside stars by convective transport or through hydrodynamic instabilities, and...

by Thomas F. Jr. Harkins (Author)Evolution is the darling of the secular scientific community. Indeed, many scientists who generally subscribe to Christian or other religious beliefs now cater to it. But is evolution really supportable? Part 1 of this book shows evolution is based on the naturalist assumption; that is, in the educational community the only permissible explanation for observable natural phenomena is natural causes, not supernatural. However, this assumption is itself inconsist...

by Werner Callebaut (Editor)Philosophers of science traditionally have ignored the details of scientific research, and the result has often been theories that lack relevance either to science or to philosophy in general. In this volume, leading philosophers of biology discuss the limitations of this tradition and the advantages of the "naturalistic turn"--the idea that the study of science is itself a scientific enterprise and should be conducted accordingly. This innovative book presents can...

by Paul Tyson (Editor)Science can reveal or conceal the breathtaking wonders of creation. On one hand, knowledge of the natural world can open us up to greater love for the Creator, give us the means of more neighborly care, and fill us with ever-deepening astonishment. On the other hand, knowledge feeding an insatiable hunger for epistemic mastery can become a means of idolatry, hubris, and damage. Crucial to world-respecting science is the role of wonder: curiosity, perplexity, and astonish...

Additionally, universities are conducting more and more research into large-scale interventions in nature, purportedly to reduce CO2 emissions and combat global warming. Ideas such as placing mirrors in space, 'fertilizing' oceans, whitening clouds,...
