Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A Guardian ¿Favourite Reads¿as Chosen by Scientists¿ Selection¿Tackles some of science¿s most enduring misconceptions.¿¿DiscoverA falling apple inspired Isaac Newton¿s insight into the law of gravity¿or did it really Among the many myths debunked in this refreshingly irreverent book are th…e idea that alchemy was a superstitious pursuit, that Darwin put off publishing his theory of evolution for fear of public reprisal, and that Gregor Mendel was ahead of his time as a pioneer of genetics. More recent myths about particle physics and Einstein¿s theory of relativity are discredited too, and a number of dubious generalizations, like the notion that science and religion are antithetical, or that science can neatly be distinguished from pseudoscience, go under the microscope of history.Newton¿s Apple and Other Myths about Science brushes away popular fictions and refutes the widespread belief that science advances when individual geniuses experience ¿Eureka!¿ moments and suddenly grasp what those around them could never imagine.¿Delightful¿thought-provoking¿Every reader should find something to surprise them.¿¿Jim Endersby, Science¿Better than just countering the myths, the book explains when they arose and why they stuck.¿¿The Guardian.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A falling apple inspired Isaac Newton's insight into the law of gravity-or so the story goes. Is it true? Perhaps not. But the more intriguing question is why such stories endure as explanations of how science happens. Newton's Apple and Other Myths about Science brushes away popular miscon…ceptions to provide a clearer picture of great scientific breakthroughs from ancient times to the present.Among the myths refuted in this volume is the idea that no science was done in the Dark Ages, that alchemy and astrology were purely superstitious pursuits, that fear of public reaction alone led Darwin to delay publishing his theory of evolution, and that Gregor Mendel was far ahead of his time as a pioneer of genetics. Several twentieth-century myths about particle physics, Einstein's theory of relativity, and more are discredited here as well. In addition, a number of broad generalizations about science go under the microscope of history: the notion that religion impeded science, that scientists typically adhere to a codified "scientific method," and that a bright line can be drawn between legitimate science and pseudoscience.Edited by Ronald Numbers and Kostas Kampourakis, Newton's Apple and Other Myths about Science debunks the widespread belief that science advances when individual geniuses experience "Eureka!" moments and suddenly comprehend what those around them could never imagine. Science has always been a cooperative enterprise of dedicated, fallible human beings, for whom context, collaboration, and sheer good luck are the essential elements of discovery. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
