The book is a huge aid for adding to the usual way - presenting science as a series of mere facts - also the necessary mandate: to show how science is done, and how science, through its history and philosophy, is part of the cultural development of humanity.
Mansoor Niaz deftly weaves together historical episodes in the quest for scientific knowledge with the psychology of learning and philosophical reflections on the nature of scientific knowledge and method. The result is a compelling case for historically and philosophically informed science education. Highly recommended! The book goes through all the main concepts of chemistry, and analyzes the historical and philosophical developments as well as their reflections in textbooks. Closest to my heart is Chapter 6, which is devoted to the chemical bond, the glue that holds together all matter in our earth.
The author goes then to describe the emergence of two rival theories that explained the nature of the chemical bond in terms of quantum mechanics; these are valence bond VB and molecular orbital MO theories. He emphasizes the importance of having rival theories and interpretations in science and its advancement.
He further argues that this VB-MO rivalry is still alive and together the two conceptual frames serve as the tool kit for thinking and doing chemistry in creative manners. The author surveys chemistry textbooks in the light of the how the books preserve or not the balance between the two theories in describing various chemical phenomena.
This Talmudic approach of conceptual tension is a universal characteristic of any branch of evolving wisdom. Sason Shaik Saeree K. It is generally considered that objectivity, certainty, truth, universality, the scientific method and the accumulation of experimental data characterize both science and science education.
Such universal values associated with science may be challenged while studying controversies in their original historical context. The scientific enterprise is not characterized by objectivity or the scientific method, but rather controversies, alternative interpretations of data, ambiguity, and uncertainty. Although objectivity is not synonymous with truth or certainty, it has eclipsed other epistemic virtues and to be objective is often used as a synonym for scientific.
History of science shows that objectivity and subjectivity can be considered as the two poles of a continuum and this dualism leads to a conflict in understanding the evolving nature of objectivity. The history of objectivity is nothing less than the history of science itself and the evolving and varying forms of objectivity does not mean that one replaced the other in a sequence but rather each form supplements the others.
There are few books that take both philosophy and education seriously — this one does! Part One of the text investigates membrane reactors for syngas and hydrogen production, while Part Two examines membrane reactors for other energy applications, including biodiesel and bioethanol production.
The final section of the book reviews the use of membrane reactors in basic chemical production, including discussions of the use of MRs in ammonia production and the dehydrogenation of alkanes to alkenes. Provides comprehensive coverage of membrane reactors as presented by a world-renowned team of experts Includes discussions of the use of membrane reactors in ammonia production and the dehydrogenation of alkanes to alkenes Tackles the use of membrane reactors in syngas, hydrogen, and basic chemical production Keen focus placed on the industry, particularly in the use of membrane reactor technologies in energy.
Author : Publisher: ISBN: Category: Page: View: Read Now » New Scientist magazine was launched in "for all those men and women who are interested in scientific discovery, and in its industrial, commercial and social consequences". The brand's mission is no different today - for its consumers, New Scientist reports, explores and interprets the results of human endeavour set in the context of society and culture.
Author : Narayan S. Differing from other foundational texts with this emphasis on applications and examples, the text uniquely begins with a focus on the shapes geometry dictating intermolecular forces of attractions, leading to reactivity between molecules of different shapes.
Throughout the book, illustrative examples bring inorganic chemistry to life. For instance, biochemists and students will be interested in how coordination chemistry between the transition metals and the ligands has a direct correlation with cyanide or carbon monoxide poisoning strong-field Cyanide or CO ligand versus weak-field Oxygen molecule. Engaging discussion of key concepts with examples from the real world Valuable coverage from the foundations of chemical bonds and stereochemistry to advanced topics, such as organometallic, bioinorganic, carboranes and environmental chemistry Uniquely begins with a focus on the shapes geometry dictating intermolecular forces of attractions, leading to reactivity between molecules of different shapes.
It shows how Feyerabend presented a vision of science that represented how science really works. The book includes an evaluation of general chemistry and physics textbooks. Most science curricula and textbooks provide the following advice to students: Do not allow theories in contradiction with observations, and all scientific theories must be formulated inductively based on experimental facts.
Feyerabend questioned this widely prevalent premise of science education in most parts of the world, and in contrast gave the following advice: Scientists can accept a hypothesis despite experimental evidence to the contrary and scientific theories are not always consistent with all the experimental data. No wonder Feyerabend became a controversial philosopher and was considered to be against rationalism and anti-science.
Furthermore, it has been shown that Feyerabend could even be considered as a perspectival realist. Niaz shows through this remarkable book a deep understanding to the essence of science. This is a valuable contribution to scholarship about Feyerabend, with the potential to inform further research as well as science education practice. Parasitic infection can greatly interfere with a soldier's ability to complete his mission. The presence of parasites in a soldier's system can not only interfere with his ability to function, but also can make him susceptible to certain diseases.
Since soldiers may serve in most areas of the world, you must be able to identify parasites that are found in the various parts of the globe. In your job as a medical laboratory specialist, you will perform a variety of test procedures on samples taken from humans. Some of these samples will include feces and tissue scrapings used in the diagnosis and treatment of parasitic infection. Therefore, you must be knowledgeable in several areas of parasitology. The knowledge you will need is reflected in the two subcourses you are about to study.
Subcourses Parasitology I and Parasitology II address areas of particular importance in parasitology. The whole purpose of clinical laboratory procedures is to provide the clinician doing diagnostic work with specific information needed to round out his picture of the disorders he has observed in the patient. Clinical bacteriology can contribute its part by supplying data about the microscopic life involved and the susceptibility of such life to particular drugs.
To identify bacterial growth, you must take certain steps that will enable you, through a process of elimination, to choose the microscopic form that fits the findings you have obtained. Steps that are often essential include: 1. Observing the type of growth when first isolated on culture media. Performing various tests to obtain a list of the characteristics of the organism.
Making a complete identification of the organism. This subcourse was developed to prepare and sustain your mathematical skills as a Medical Laboratory Specialist. The emphasis is upon computations related to solutions and their concentrations. If you feel that you need a more basic review of mathematics before taking this subcourse, you should request Subcourse Basic Mathematics, which covers addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers; decimals, and fractions; and conversions to and from the metric system.
In the process of achieving and maintaining proficiency in your military occupational specialty MOS , you will be learning concepts and performing tasks that are based on important chemical principles. As you become more proficient with these principles, you may reach the point where you will not need to give them much conscious thought.
