▶ 독자의, 독자에 의한, 독자를 위한 비평지 『문학/사상』 영문판 출간 산지니가 비평지 『문학/사상』의 영문판을 출간한다. 이 책은 서로 다른 학분 분야에서 활동하는 학자들이 사회문제를 바라보는 관점을 대중에게 소개하고, 나아가 우리 사회의 인문학 위기에 대응하고자 기획했다. 우리 사회에는 분과학문의 벽을 허무는 통합 인문학적 사고를 꾀할 수 있는 담론의 장이 필요하다. 융합된 사고를 통해 사회의 변화를 추동할 수 있는 근력이 생길 수 있기 때문이다. 산지니는 오래전부터 이러한 시대적 요구에 관심을 기...
Donald Keith Keene Jr
This is the history of Donald Keene's family down through the ages. It is a varied and fascinating history. This Keene lineage can trace its ancestry through at least two lines that came to this continent on the Mayflower. Some were very involved in the Revolution, and the Civil War, as well as served honorably in World War II, and Don served during the VietNam conflict. I have spent several years researching this line, and it is the stories and origins that make it so interesting. As in all family histories, it is not just the names and dates that make up who we are, but where we have been and where we came from.
Space, Time, and Aliens
In this comprehensive and interdisciplinary volume, former NASA Chief Historian Steven Dick reflects on the exploration of space, astrobiology and its implications, cosmic evolution, astronomical institutions, discovering and classifying the cosmos, and the philosophy of astronomy. The unifying theme of the book is the connection between cosmos and culture, or what Carl Sagan many years ago called the “cosmic connection.” As both an astronomer and historian of science, Dr. Dick has been both a witness to and a participant in many of the astronomical events of the last half century. This collection of papers presents his reflections over the last forty years in a way accessible to historians, philosophers, and scientists alike. From the search for alien life to ongoing space exploration efforts, readers will find this volume full of engaging topics relevant to science, society, and our collective future on planet Earth and beyond.
The Science of Navigation
In today’s world of online maps and travel directions delivered wirelessly to hand-held devices, getting from place to place requires little thought from most of us—which is a good thing, since accurate navigation can be tricky. Get your bearings with Mark Denny—an expert at explaining scientific concepts in non-technical language—in this all-encompassing look at the history and science of navigation. Denny’s tour kicks off with key facts about the earth and how its physical properties affect travel. He discusses cartography and early mapmakers, revealing fascinating tidbits such as how changes over time of the direction of true north, as well as of magnetic north, impacted navigat...
