Badlands Dynamics in a Context of Global Change
Badlands Dynamics in the Context of Global Change presents the newest ideas concerning badland formation and relates them to the larger context of global change. The book provides an overview of badland landforms and covers a variety of interdisciplinary topics, such as runoff generation, erosion processes and rates, the potential for modeling badland systems, and emerging technologies in research. It is an ideal resource for geomorphologists, physical geographers and soil scientists interested in this terrain and how it relates to land degradation in other environments. - Provides a global understanding of the complex dynamics of badlands through geology, geomorphology and soil science - Covers critical material properties for badlands development based on current knowledge and new data - Includes vegetation dynamics in different badlands systems and their relationship with geomorphology dynamics
Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact
Originally published in German in 1935, this monograph anticipated solutions to problems of scientific progress, the truth of scientific fact and the role of error in science now associated with the work of Thomas Kuhn and others. Arguing that every scientific concept and theory—including his own—is culturally conditioned, Fleck was appreciably ahead of his time. And as Kuhn observes in his foreword, "Though much has occurred since its publication, it remains a brilliant and largely unexploited resource." "To many scientists just as to many historians and philosophers of science facts are things that simply are the case: they are discovered through properly passive observation of natural reality. To such views Fleck replies that facts are invented, not discovered. Moreover, the appearance of scientific facts as discovered things is itself a social construction, a made thing. A work of transparent brilliance, one of the most significant contributions toward a thoroughly sociological account of scientific knowledge."—Steven Shapin, Science
Família Kuhn - 500 anos de história
Estabelecemos como ponto de partida da nossa história e genealogia o casal Johannes Kuhn e Katharina Gehlen. A partir deles, elaboramos um vasto estudo da descendência até os Kuhn da atualidade. A partir deles, também traçamos a linha de ascendentes e sua história até chegar no Stammvater Johann Kuhn, nascido por volta do longínquo ano de 1510. Johannes Kuhn e Katharina Gehlen vivenciaram um período que se constitui num dos pontos altos da história da civilização ocidental: a Revolução Francesa. Na pequena aldeia de Hasborn eles viveram todos os momentos de um processo histórico responsável por grandes conquistas e mudanças na vida das pessoas humildes. A posterior reação ...
