The Globe PDF
By:Terry Pratchett,Ian Stewart,Jack Cohen
Published on 2015-01-20 by Anchor

Roundworld, aka Earth, is under siege. Are three wizards and an orangutan Librarian enough to thwart the Elvish threat? When the wizards of Unseen University first created Roundworld, they were so concerned with discovering the rules of this new universe that they overlooked its inhabitants entirely. Now, they have noticed humanity. And humanity has company. Arriving in Roundworld, the wizards find the situation is even worse than they’d expected. Under the elves’ influence, humans are superstitious, fearful, and fruitlessly trying to work magic in a world ruled by logic. Ridcully, Rincewind, Ponder Stibbons, and the orangutan Librarian must travel through time to get humanity back on track and out of the dark ages. The Globe goes beyond science to explore the development of the human mind. Terry Pratchett and his acclaimed co-authors Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen combine the tale of the wizards rewriting human history with discussions of the origins and evolution of culture, language, art, and science, offering a fascinating and brilliantly original view of the world we live in.

An Alternative to the Standard Model of Physics PDF
By:John Royer
Published on 2007-08 by

Reading this book will take you on a journey of understanding the universe in a novel new way. No complicated science or math, only simple logical steps to follow from being able to look at electromagnetic radiation in a new light to understanding the basic forces of nature. Did you ever wonder how an attractive force can work in nature? Exactly how gravity operates? What causes radioactivity? How old is the universe? The origin of matter? How does a prism bend and separate light by color? Why light and all particles with mass have a wave characteristic? What is time? Where does mass come from? This book explains all these and more by one simple basic principle. The whole universe operates on a principle as simple as the on off logic in your computer. There is a second reason the moon is receding from the earth, find out why. After reading this book you will look at the universe a little differently, with a little more awe. You will be able to appreciate the beauty of the earth and moon as never before.

A Wrinkle in Time PDF
By:Madeleine L'Engle
Published on 2010-04-01 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)

Madeleine L'Engle's ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, soon to be a major motion picture. It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger. |Wild nights are my glory,| the unearthly stranger told them. |I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract.| A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem. A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal. It is the first book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time. A Wrinkle in Time is soon to be a movie from Disney, directed by Ava DuVernay, starring Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling. This title has Common Core connections.

Urban Wildlife Conservation PDF
By:Robert A. McCleery,Christopher E. Moorman,M. Nils Peterson
Published on 2014-11-11 by Springer

In the past, wildlife living in urban areas were ignored by wildlife professionals and urban planners because cities were perceived as places for people and not for wild animals. Paradoxically, though, many species of wildlife thrive in these built environments. Interactions between humans and wildlife are more frequent in urban areas than any other place on earth and these interactions impact human health, safety and welfare in both positive and negative ways. Although urban wildlife control pest species, pollinate plants and are fun to watch, they also damage property, spread disease and even attack people and pets. In urban areas, the combination of dense human populations, buildings, impermeable surfaces, introduced vegetation, and high concentrations of food, water and pollution alter wildlife populations and communities in ways unseen in more natural environments. For these ecological and practical reasons, researchers and mangers have shown a growing interest in urban wildlife ecology and management. This growing interest in urban wildlife has inspired many studies on the subject that have yet to be synthesized in a cohesive narrative. Urban Wildlife: Theory and Practice fills this void by synthesizing the latest ecological and social knowledge in the subject area into an interdisciplinary and practical text. This volume provides a foundation for the future growth and understanding of urban wildlife ecology and management by: • Clearly defining th e concepts used to study and describe urban wildlife, • Offering a cohesive understanding of the coupled natural and social drivers that shape urban wildlife ecology, • Presenting the patterns and processes of wildlife response to an urbanizing world and explaining the mechanisms behind them and • Proposing means to create physical and social environments that are mutually beneficial for both humans and wildlife.

Book Food Webs (MPB-50) PDF Free

Food Webs (MPB-50) PDF
By:Kevin S. McCann
Published on 2011-11-21 by Princeton University Press

Human impacts are dramatically altering our natural ecosystems but the exact repercussions on ecological sustainability and function remain unclear. As a result, food web theory has experienced a proliferation of research seeking to address these critical areas. Arguing that the various recent and classical food web theories can be looked at collectively and in a highly consistent and testable way, Food Webs synthesizes and reconciles modern and classical perspectives into a general unified theory. Kevin McCann brings together outcomes from population-, community-, and ecosystem-level approaches under the common currency of energy or material fluxes. He shows that these approaches--often studied in isolation--all have the same general implications in terms of population dynamic stability. Specifically, increased fluxes of energy or material tend to destabilize populations, communities, and whole ecosystems. With this understanding, stabilizing structures at different levels of the ecological hierarchy can be identified and any population-, community-, or ecosystem-level structures that mute energy or material flow also stabilize systems dynamics. McCann uses this powerful general framework to discuss the effects of human impact on the stability and sustainability of ecological systems, and he demonstrates that there is clear empirical evidence that the structures supporting ecological systems have been dangerously eroded. Uniting the latest research on food webs with classical theories, this book will be a standard source in the understanding of natural food web functions.

All educators want their students to be able to achieve more and do well on standardized tests. Some believe that the way to make that happen is mindless test drill. The positive effect of writing is counterintuitive to what many educators believe to be true. Writing is a cognitive process that allows teachers to not only assess students, but to plan appropriate instructional strategies that will most benefit that student.

The Philosophy of Cosmology PDF
By:Khalil Chamcham,Joseph Silk,John D. Barrow,Simon Saunders
Published on 2017-03-31 by Cambridge University Press

Following a long-term international collaboration between leaders in cosmology and the philosophy of science, this volume addresses foundational questions at the limit of science across these disciplines, questions raised by observational and theoretical progress in modern cosmology. Space missions have mapped the Universe up to its early instants, opening up questions on what came before the Big Bang, the nature of space and time, and the quantum origin of the Universe. As the foundational volume of an emerging academic discipline, experts from relevant fields lay out the fundamental problems of contemporary cosmology and explore the routes toward finding possible solutions. Written for graduates and researchers in physics and philosophy, particular efforts are made to inform academics from other fields, as well as the educated public, who wish to understand our modern vision of the Universe, related philosophical questions, and the significant impacts on scientific methodology.

Book On the Pythagoreanism of Modern Physics PDF Free

On the Pythagoreanism of Modern Physics PDF
By:Sorin-Ioan Bangu
Published on 2006 by

Unsympathetic to abstracta, contemporary empiricists have attempted to purge physics of mathematical concepts. But the 'science without numbers' project gradually waned and nowadays many philosophers would agree that mathematics is indispensable to physics. However, even those most sensitive to the importance of mathematics rarely endeavor to further challenge empiricism by examining the question whether mathematics can play even more substantial roles in science, in addition to the seemingly indispensable descriptive and derivational roles. This dissertation is an attempt to argue for an affirmative answer to this question. I first outline and examine a 'Pythagorean' tendency in the 20th century fundamental physics, namely to construct and develop physical theories primarily on the basis of mathematical or formal considerations. Then I spell out the epistemological implications of this Pythagorean idea for the concepts of scientific prediction and scientific explanation. In the first two chapters I investigate some of the greatest physicists' views on the role of mathematics in theory construction and theory discovery. I scrutinize a recent version of Wigner's puzzle, claiming that mathematics was unreasonably effective in leading to the discovery of several fundamental laws of quantum mechanics. Although I criticize the anti-naturalist (or |anthropocentric|) conclusions of this neo-Wignerian argument, I maintain that the involvement of mathematics in constructing theories has important epistemological consequences consisting in reframing the concepts of prediction and explanation. In chapter 4 I examine the role of group theory in reframing scientific explanation. More precisely, I investigate the doctrine that explanation is unification, the motivation for carrying out this analysis being the prominent role of mathematics in theory unification. I conclude by pointing out an important consequence of this role, that a distinction should be drawn between two kinds of understanding provided by modern physics, causal understanding and mathematical-structural understanding. In chapter 3 I explore the effectiveness of group theory in the emergence of a new type of predictive strategy in particle physics. I identify the novel methodological features of this type of prediction, showing how the traditional conception of scientific prediction fails to capture them.
