It's Part of What We Are - Volumes 1 and 2 - Volume 1: Richard Boyle (1566-1643) to John Tyndall (1820-1893); Volume 2: Samuel Haughton (18210-1897) to John Stewart Bell (1928-1990)
Biographies of more than 100 Irish scientists (or those with strong Irish connections), in the disciplines of Chemistry and Physics, including Astronomy, Mathematics etc., describing them in their Irish and international scientific, social, educational and political context. Written in an attractive informal style for the hypothetical 'educated layman' who does not need to have studied science. Well received in Irish and international reviews.
The Educated Eye: Visual Culture and Pedagogy in the Life Sciences
The creation and processing of visual representations in the life sciences is a critical but often overlooked aspect of scientific pedagogy. The Educated Eye follows the nineteenth-century embrace of the visible in new spectatoria, or demonstration halls, through the twentieth-century cinematic explorations of microscopic realms and simulations of surgery in virtual reality.
Cabinets of Experimental Philosophy in Eighteenth-Century Europe
Cabinets of Experimental Philosophy in Eighteenth-Century Europe is an ambitious contribution to the growing interest in how science came to engage the attention of a public outside the academic and professional spheres and how collections of instruments played a formative role in this development. Collections of physical instruments for research and demonstration appeared throughout Europe in the eighteenth century and the coverage of the book is correspondingly broad. While collections in different cultural and geographical locations had much in common, there were significant local modifications. The essays in this book illustrate how science, sometimes thought to be monolithic and universal, can maintain core intellectual characteristics and practical techniques while adapting to particular sites and circumstances. Contributors include: Jim Bennett, Sofia Talas, Huib J. Zuidervaart, Hans Hooijmaijers, Ad Maas, Tiemen Cocquyt, Inga Elmqvist Söderlund, Paola Bertucci, Marta C. Lourenço, David Felismino, Ivano Dal Prete, Ewa Wyka, Martin Weiss, and Paolo Brenni.
Sextants at Greenwich
Sextants at Greenwich consists of two main sections: The introductory chapters and the catalogue of navigating instruments of the National Maritime Museum. The first section gives a general overview of the history of celestial navigation with an emphasis on the instruments that were developed and used for that purpose, between about 1450 and the 1970s. The instruments in the catalogue form the main thread in these chapters. The catalogue consists of 347 entries of instruments for celestial navigation, the octants, sextants and related instruments preserved in the National Maritime Museum. Each entry includes the place of the object's origin, its maker, the object's date, inscriptions (by the maker and/or relating to an owner), the graduated scale, the instrument's dimensions and a general description that includes details such as used materials and detached parts. Finally the object's provenance (previous owners and/or users) and references to literature on its history and handling are given.
Contributions To Probability And Statistics: Applications And Challenges - Proceedings Of The International Statistics Workshop
Contributed by world renowned researchers, the book features a wide range of important topics in modern statistical theory and methodology, economics and finance, ecology, education, health and sports studies, and computer and IT-data mining. It is accessible to students and of interest to experts.Many of the contributions are concerned with theoretical innovations, but all have applications in view, and some contain illustrations of the applied methods or photos of historic mathematicians.A few of the notable contributors are Ejaz Ahmed (Windsor), Joe Gani (ANU), Roger Gay (Monash), Atsuhiro Hayashi (NCUEE, Tokyo), Markus Hegland (ANU), Chris Heyde (ANU/Columbia), Jeff Hunter (Massey), Phil Lewis (Canberra), Heinz Neudecker (Amsterdam), Graham Pollard (Canberra), Simo Puntanen (Tampere), George Styan (McGill), and Goetz Trenkler (Dortmund).
Instrumente, Methoden und Entdeckungen für innovative Entwicklungen in der Astronomie. Instruments, Methods and Discoveries for Innovative Developments in Astronomy.
Diese Monographie bietet Raum, den Innovationen in der Geschichte der Astronomie gebündelt nachzugehen, seien es instrumentelle Entwicklungen, neue Meß- oder Auswertemethoden, neue Weltbilder oder revolutionäre Entwicklungen und spektakuläre Entdeckungen, und damit Material für weitere wissenschaftstheoretische und philosophische Ãœberlegungen bereitzustellen. Das einführende Kapitel von Gudrun Wolfschmidt präsentiert exemplarisch zahlreiche Beispiele und Highlights zu den verschiedenen Themen. Die nächsten beiden Artikel widmen sich der Bremer und Lilienthaler Geschichte des Tagungsortes. Hans-Joachim Leue stellt das grösste Fernrohr des Kontinents, das berühmte Lilienthaler 27-fÃ...

Die angemessene Vergütung im Urhebervertragsrecht
Der Anspruch von Urhebern auf eine angemessene Vergütung durch ihre Verwerter gemäß § 32 UrhG befasst die Gerichte seit der Urhebervertragsrechtsreform von 2002. Insbesondere die Konkretisierung des Begriffs der »Angemessenheit« anhand der Legaldefinition des § 32 Abs. 2 S. 2 UrhG hat sich dabei als eine große Herausforderung herausgestellt. Jochen Christoph Hegener analysiert die gesamte Rechtsprechung zum Begriff der »angemessenen Vergütung« im Urhebervertragsrecht und erarbeitet dabei eine Typisierung der am häufigsten berücksichtigten Kriterien und Bemessungsgrundlagen. Außerdem identifiziert er die wichtigsten Fragen um die weitere Konkretisierung des § 32 Abs. 2 S. 2 Urh...
