Free Download Rory McEvoy, Jonathan Betts, "Harrison Decoded: Towards A Perfect Pendulum Clock"
English | 2020 | pages: 192 | ISBN: 0198816812, 0198892675 | PDF | 19,0 mb
Brings together the output of a forty-year collaborative research project that unpicked and put into practice the fine details of John Harrison’s extraordinary pendulum clock system. Harrison predicted that his unique method of making pendulum clocks could provide as much as one-hundred-times the stability of those made by his contemporaries. However, his final publication, which promised to describe the system, was a chaotic jumble of information, much of which had nothing to do with clockwork. One contemporary reviewer of Harrison’s book could only suggest that the end result was a product of Harrison’s ‘superannuated dotage.’

Free Download Douglas Brown, "Towards a Radical Democracy: The Political Economy of the Budapest School"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0415608791, 0415608805 | EPUB | pages: 226 | 0.6 mb
Originally published in 1988, this is the first systematic account of the writings of Hungarian dissidents and former students of George Lukacs, collectively known as the ‘Budapest School’. Dr. Brown demonstrates the importance of their work in contributing to a logically consistent yet realistic theory of socialist mixed economies, and genuine radical democracies. The Budapest Schoool’s model of radical democracy represents a critique of both industrial capitalism and existing socialist systems, with immediate political as well as philosophical importance. Dr. Brown is particularly concerned to draw out its significance for the practical realities of political economy, and the logical implications for desirable reform of Western mixed economies.

Is time, even locally, like the real line? Multiple structures of time, implicit in physics, create a consistency problem. A tilt in the arrow of time is suggested as the most conservative hypothesis which provides approximate consistency within physics and with topology of mundane time.

Free Download Towards Scientific Literacy By Derek Hodson
2008 | 241 Pages | ISBN: 908790505X | PDF | 4 MB
This book is a guide for teachers, student teachers, teacher educators, science education researchers and curriculum developers who wish to get to grips with the vast and complex literature encompassing the history of science, philosophy of science and sociology of science (HPS). A number of books cover essentially the same ground, but what makes this book unique is that it is written from the perspective of science education. The author’s purpose is twofold. First, to identify, clarify and critique elements in the HPS literature that are of key importance in developing students’scientific and technological literacy, as defined in the opening chapter of the book. Second, to enhance teachers’ capacity to build and present curricula that afford a much higher profile to HPS than has been traditional. The significance of the book can be judged from the prominence given to nature of science understanding in much recent international debate and writing in science education and in the plethora of influential reports on science and technology education published around the world that identify HPS knowledge and understanding as central components of 21st century science education.
