Throughout history, countless systems of measurement have been devised and then discarded as more precise and more logical systems have come along. While most of the world has adopted the metric system, the United States―with the curious exception of soda bottles―adheres to the imperial system, even though the country has officially been a metric nation since 1893, when Thomas Corwin Mendenhall declared metric prototypes the country's "fundamental standards of length and mass." The convenience of the base-ten metric system is undeniable, and so are the costs associated with not converting to metric. Yet, Americans still cling to inches, quarts, and ounces. Clearly, there is more to measurement than logic. In Measure for Measure, Alex Hebra offers a delightfully engaging and instructive history of measurement systems from ancient times to the present, exploring how and why such units as the stadium, the span, and the parsec first came about. Tracing civilization's various efforts to calculate distance, volume, mass, energy, and time, he explains how units of measurement are applied in such fields as mechanical engineering, physics, optics, and astronomy. In particular, Hebra focuses on the development of the metric system, arguing that even the United States will eventually join the worldwide metric community. Deeply informed and imaginatively told, Measure for Measure chronicles humanity's imperfect search for the perfect system with which to quantify reality.

Alice Calaprice has compiled a delightful and charming collection of more than 60 letters, most never published before, from children to perhaps the greatest scientist of all time. Enhancing this correspondence are numerous photographs showing Einstein amid children, wearing an Indian headdress, carrying a puppet of himself, donning furry slippers, among many other wonderful pictures. They reveal the intimate human side of the great public persona, a man who, though he spent his days contemplating the impersonal abstractions of mathematics and physics, was very fond of children and enjoyed being in their company. Obviously, Einstein led a busy life, and so he could not answer every letter sent to him. Nonetheless, he made time to respond to those that touched him in some way. To Monique from New York, who asked about the age of the Earth and when it will come to an end, he patiently responded that it is a little more than a billion years old, and, "As for the question of the end of it I advise: Wait and see!" To "six little scientists" from Morgan City, Louisiana, who despite the scepticism of their classmates maintained that life would survive even if the sun burned out, he wrote, "The minority is sometimes right―but not in your case." Complete with a foreword by Einstein's granddaughter Evelyn, a biography and chronology of Einstein's life, and an introduction by Einstein scholar Robert Schulmann on the great scientist's educational philosophy, this wonderful compilation will be welcomed by teachers, parents, and all the young, budding scientists in their lives Language A language of the resource Engels https://bib.cozmix.cloud/files/original/da6e9b7bc3463fc2dfce5a8288ef0983.png c688c2771246ffae8312bb074344404b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Zonder emoties is het onmogelijk rationeel te zijn. Daarmee zet Damasio zich af tegen de eeuwenoude opvatting dat lichaam en geest twee verschillende, van elkaar gescheiden aspecten van de mens zouden zijn. Bij het uiteenzetten van zijn opmerkelijke theorie put Damasio uit zijn jarenlange ervaring met patiënten. Hij laat zien hoe de rede gebruik maakt van onze emoties en gevoelens bij de vorming van ons wereldbeeld. De vergissing van Descartes is zowel in menselijk als in wetenschappelijk opzicht een wijs boek, dat van groot optimisme en vertrouwen in de menselijke geest getuigt.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions. Casting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. And yet, disturbingly, in today's so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning with stories of alien abduction, channelling past lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect. As Sagan demonstrates with lucid eloquence, the siren song of unreason is not just a cultural wrong turn but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens our most basic freedoms.

Title A name given to the resource Het einde van jezelf, de mensheid, de wereld, de melkwe, het universum en alles ertussenin Description An account of the resource Hoewel we er het liefst niet te veel aan denken, is iedereen zich bewust van zijn sterfelijkheid. Maar minder bekend is wat de wetenschap ons te zeggen heeft over dood op grotere schaal. De astronoom Chris Impey voert ons mee naar onze dood, de vernietiging van de menselijke soort, het einde van de biosfeer, de ondergang van de aarde, de implosie van de zon, de dood van de Melkweg en uiteindelijk: de afloop van ons hele universum. Met een aangename dosis humor beschrijft Het Einde de evolutionaire wapenwedloop tussen microben en de mens, maar ook het dimmen van de zon en de implosie van het universum, om ons zo iets te laten zien wat we niet kennen: het universum zonder ons.

Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context DIV0060 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Danah Zohar Title A name given to the resource The quantum self Description An account of the resource In The Quantum Self, Danah Zohar argues that the insights of modem physics can illuminate our understanding of everyday life -- our relationships to ourselves, to others, and to the world at large. Guiding us through the strange and fascinating workings of the subatomic realm to create a new model of human consciousness, the author addresses enduring philosophical questions. Does the new physics provide a basis by which our consciousness might continue beyond death? How does the material world (for instance, ugly inner cities) impinge upon our sense of self? Is there a subatomic wellspring from which our creativity, our empathy with others, and our feelings of unity with the inanimate world originate? Most important, Zohar shows how the vitality of the new physics combats the alienation and fragmentation of twentieth-century life, and replaces it with a model of reality in which the universe itself may possess a type of consciousness, of which human consciousness is one expression.
