Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - They asked me about it of course before I boarded the starship. All through the Western sector of the Galaxy few rules are stricter than the one dividing human from nonhuman and the little Captain of the Vesta-he was Terran too and proud in the black leather of the Empire's merchant-man forces-hemmed and hawed about it as much as was consistent with a spaceman's dignity.'You see Miss Vargas ' he explained not once but as often as I would listen to him 'this is not strictly speaking a passenger ship at all. Our charter is only to carry cargo. But under the terms of our franchise we are required to transport an occasional passenger from the more isolated planets where there is no regular passenger service. Our rules simply don't permit us to discriminate and the Theradin reserved a place on this ship for our last voyage.'He paused and re-emphasized 'We have only the one passenger cabin you see. We're a cargo ship and we are not allowed to make any discrimination between our passengers.' He looked angry about it. Unfortunately I'd run up against that attitude before. Some Terrans won't travel on the same ship with nonhumans even when they're isolated in separate ends of the ship.I understood his predicament better than he thought. The Theradin seldom travel in space. No one could have foreseen that Haalvordhen the Theradin from Samarra who had lived on the forsaken planet of Deneb for eighteen of its cycles would have chosen this particular flight to go back to its own world.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Alzire first appeared on the stage in 1736 to great acclaim and success. Alzire is set Lima Peru at the time of the Spanish conquest. Don Gusman a Spanish grandee has just succeeded his father Don Alvarez in the Governorship of Peru. The rule of Don Alvarez had been beneficent and just; he had spent his life in endeavoring to soften the cruelty of his countrymen; and his only remaining wish was to see his son carry on the work which he had begun. Unfortunately however Don Gusman's temperament was the very opposite of his father's; he was tyrannical harsh headstrong and bigoted.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Certain basic assumptions essential to any scientific activity are sometimes called theories. That nature is orderly rather than capricious is an example. Certain statements are also theories simply to the extent that they are not yet facts. A scientist may guess at the result of an experiment before the experiment is carried out. The prediction and the later statement of result may be composed of the same terms in the same syntactic arrangement the difference being in the degree of confidence. No empirical statement is wholly non-theoretical in this sense because evidence is never complete nor is any prediction probably ever made wholly without evidence. The term 'theory' will not refer here to statements of these sorts but rather to any explanation of an observed fact which appeals to events taking place somewhere else at some other level of observation described in different terms and measured if at all in different dimensions.Research designed with respect to theory is also likely to be wasteful. That a theory generates research does not prove its value unless the research is valuable. Much useless experimentation results from theories and much energy and skill are absorbed by them. Most theories are eventually overthrown and the greater part of the associated research is discarded. This could be justified if it were true that productive research requires a theory as is of course often claimed. It is argued that research would be aimless and disorganized without a theory to guide it. The view is supported by psychological texts that take their cue from the logicians rather than empirical science and describe thinking as necessarily involving stages of hypothesis deduction experimental test and confirmation. But this is not the way most scientists actually work. It is possible to design significant experiments for other reasons and the possibility to be examined is that such research will lead more directly to the kind of information that a science usually accumulates.…
