Free Download The Copernican System (Great Discoveries in Science) by Erik Richardson
English | April 9th, 2018 | ISBN: 1502627760 | 128 pages | True EPUB | 12.02 MB
When Nicolaus Copernicus stated that Earth revolves around the sun, he initiated a centuries-long conflict between proponents of heliocentrism and those that maintained a geocentric view of the universe. The fight to establish the Copernican system, which began in 1543, would have very real consequences for astronomers like Galileo, Kepler, and Newton. This book provides an in-depth look at the development of Copernicus’s theory, the effect it had on the lives of scientists willing to defend it at great personal cost, and heliocentrism’s role in the latest astronomical research.

Free Download Semiconductors (Great Discoveries in Science) by Grace Murphy
English | April 9th, 2018 | ISBN: 1502628716 | 128 pages | True EPUB | 8.63 MB
The discovery of electricity fundamentally changed day-to-day life. Yet after electricity’s discovery, scientists worked to find the best way to harness electrical currents. Today, semiconductors are known as the key components of transistors and integrated circuits. Semiconductors shows how Michael Faraday paved the way for three men (John Bardeen, William Shockley, and Walter Brattain) to invent transistors, changing history forever. The book investigates semiconductors’ role in cutting edge technology and explains how semiconductors work through diagrams and full-color photos.

Free Download Science Meets Philosophy: What Makes Science Divided but Still Significant
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032354356 | 298 Pages | PDF (True) | 3 MB
The book is an attempt to bring together what are often seen as incommensurable scientific and philosophical positions. Its core argument is that a main reason for the divisions about what constitutes scientific knowledge relates to disagreements on philosophical issues. The book explores what these disagreements are about, and discusses whether they can be overcome.

Free Download Plate Tectonics (Great Discoveries in Science) by Fiona Young-Brown
English | December 15th, 2018 | ISBN: 1502643960 | 128 pages | True EPUB | 4.92 MB
This essential volume explores the slow but mighty shifts that created the continents and that continue to shape modern landscapes. Readers will look at theories put forward through the ages to explain volcanoes and earthquakes, and they’ll examine how geologists learned what we now understand about Earth’s crust. In a world of constant movement, how do these ever-shifting plates affect our lives today? Photographs, diagrams, and sidebars help students understand the science that answers this and other questions.

Free Download New Directions in the Philosophy of Social Science: The Heterogeneous Social By Daniel Little
2016 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 1783487399 | PDF | 2 MB
Philosophy matters for the social sciences. Our world faces ever more complex and hazardous problems and, social science ontology and methods need to be adequate to the changing nature of the social realm. Imagination and new ways of thinking are crucial to the social sciences. Based on Daniel Little’s popular blog, this book provides an accessible introduction to the latest developments and debates in the philosophy of social science. Each chapter addresses a leading issue in the philosophy of the social sciences today. Little advocates for an ‘actor-centred sociology’, endorsing the idea of meso-level causation and proposing a solution to the problem of ‘mechanisms or powers?’. The book draws significant conclusions from the facts of complexity and heterogeneity in the social world. The book develops a series of arguments that serve to provide a new framework for the philosophy of social science through deep engagement with social scientists and philosophers in the field. Topics covered include: – the heterogeneity and plasticity of the social world; – the complexity of social causation; – the nuts and bolts of causal mechanisms; – the applicability of the theory of causal powers to the social world; – the intellectual coherence of the perspective of scientific realism in application to social science.
