Physicists in Conflict

Physicists in Conflict

Neil A. Porter

Institute of Physics Publishing
1998
sidottu
Dialogue in science is essential for progress. But when dialogue becomes conflict or further intensifies to persecution the situation is harmful not only to science, but also to the wider society in which science exists. This is true whether the conflict is internal, in the case of Boltzmann, or external, as with Galileo and Oppenheimer against their respective authorities. Physicists in Conflict: From Antiquity to the New Millennium examines the nature of conflict in science through examples chosen from the history of physics. These cases fall into three broad themes: physicists in conflict with religion, conflict between physicists on significant scientific issues, and physicists in conflict with each other and politicians on matters of public policy with scientific content. Conflict is singled out as a common element in otherwise disparate areas precisely because it has characteristics that are common to the different cases, and sometimes the similarities are remarkable, such as in the cases of Galileo and Oppenheimer. The book is suitable for general readers with an interest in physics as well as for undergraduate physics students and professional physicists. It will also be of interest to those working in the fields of peace and conflict studies.

Myth, God, and War

Myth, God, and War

Neil A. Soggie

University Press of America
2007
nidottu
This work demonstrates the power of the ancient, biblical narrative, the book of Joshua, as it pertains to everyday life. The book intends to dismiss antiquated assumptions of biblical formation by examining biblical scholarship from new and creative phenomenological perspectives. Professor Soggie argues that the anecdotal wisdom drawn from these perspectives exposes the natural function of the narrative as it relates to every individual and transforms the way we view ancient literature. Furthermore, this study challenges readers' predisposed assertions about the book of Joshua so that it feels as though they are being introduced to the story for the first time. Top biblical scholars, experts in archetypal psychology, and novices alike will be able to expand their view of ancient literature.

Historical Dictionary of the Roosevelt-Truman Era

Historical Dictionary of the Roosevelt-Truman Era

Neil A. Wynn

Scarecrow Press
2008
sidottu
The 1930s were dominated by economic collapse, stagnation, and mass unemployment. This crisis enabled the Democrats to recapture the White House and embark upon a period of reform unsurpassed until the 1960s. Roosevelt's New Deal laid the foundations of a welfare system that was further consolidated during and after the Second World War. American involvement in World War II helped to secure victory in Europe and in Asia. American participation in the war led to economic recovery but also brought with it enormous demographic and social changes. Some of these changes continued after the war had ended, but further political reform was to be limited due to the impact of the Cold War and the effects of America's new role as the world's leading superpower in the atomic age. The Historical Dictionary of the Roosevelt-Truman Era examines significant individuals, organizations, and events in American political, economic, social, and cultural history between 1933 and 1953. This was a period of enormous significance in the United States due to the impact of the Great Depression, World War II, and the onset of the Cold War. The presidencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman witnessed the origins of the modern American welfare system and the rise of the United States as a world power, as well as its involvement in the confrontation with communism that dominated the latter half of the 20th century.

Historical Dictionary from the Great War to the Great Depression

Historical Dictionary from the Great War to the Great Depression

Neil A. Wynn

Scarecrow Press
2013
sidottu
The period from 1913 to 1933 is not often seen as a coherent entity in the history of the United States. It is more often viewed in terms of two distinct periods with the pre-war era of political engagement, idealism, and reform known as “progressivism” separated by World War I from the materialism, conservatism and disengagement of the “prosperous” 1920s. To many postwar observers and later historians, the entry of the United States into the European conflict in 1917 marked not just a dramatic departure in foreign relations, but also the end of an era of reform. This second edition of Historical Dictionary from the Great War to the Great Depression covers the history of this period through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about a vital period in U.S. history.

Introduction to Heat Potential Theory

Introduction to Heat Potential Theory

Neil A. Watson

American Mathematical Society
2012
sidottu
This book is the first to be devoted entirely to the potential theory of the heat equation, and thus deals with time dependent potential theory. Its purpose is to give a logical, mathematically precise introduction to a subject where previously many proofs were not written in detail, due to their similarity with those of the potential theory of Laplace's equation. The approach to subtemperatures is a recent one, based on the Poisson integral representation of temperatures on a circular cylinder. Characterizations of subtemperatures in terms of heat balls and modified heat balls are proved, and thermal capacity is studied in detail. The generalized Dirichlet problem on arbitrary open sets is given a treatment that reflects its distinctive nature for an equation of parabolic type. Also included is some new material on caloric measure for arbitrary open sets. Each chapter concludes with bibliographical notes and open questions. The reader should have a good background in the calculus of functions of several variables, in the limiting processes and inequalities of analysis, in measure theory, and in general topology for Chapter 9.

The ABC-Clio Companion to the 1960s Counterculture in America

The ABC-Clio Companion to the 1960s Counterculture in America

Neil A. Hamilton

ABC-CLIO
1997
sidottu
The 1960s counterculture challenged the mainstream practices that dominated the 1950s, producing such groups as the hippies, Diggers, the National Organization for Women, and the American Indian Movement, all of which demanded societal change. The A–Z entries in this volume provide fascinating details on notable persons who stirred alternative ideas such as Betty Friedan, Abbie Hoffman, Andy Warhol, and Stokely Carmichael; events such as Woodstock, the Moratorium, and various be-ins; and new directions in music, art, clothing, and language.

Interpreting the Celts needs empathy. For two millennia Rome imposed its alien outlook, destroying a truth-loving, peaceable culture which could challenge and displace it. Neil Clark's research reveals that the Celts were not only spiritual kin to today's enlightened holistic thinkers but that they had gained an intuitive understanding of mankind's place in the cosmos that aligns even with today's most advanced mathematical physics. Aware of the cosmos around them, they aspired heavenward, but built works of stone on earth that prove to us their modern grasp of what it is to be Beings-on-this-Earth-in-this-Universe. Rome brought trouble to Europe, but evidence of Celtic philosophy remains to inspire hope for the future of our planet. Neil Clark builds a grand synthesis which will astonish the intelligent reader.

The New Democracy Wars

The New Democracy Wars

Neil A. Burron

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2012
sidottu
Burron provides a critical analysis of Canadian and US democracy promotion in the Americas. He concentrates on Haiti, Peru, and Bolivia in particular but situates them within a larger analysis of Canadian and US foreign policy - bilateral and regional - in the areas of trade, investment, diplomacy, security and, for the United States, the war on drugs. His main argument is that democracy promotion is typically formulated to advance commercial, geopolitical and security objectives that conflict with a genuine commitment to democratic development. Given this broad scope, the book is well positioned to contribute to a number of debates in comparative Latin American politics and international political economy (IPE) with a focus on North-South relations in the hemisphere.

Leading the Way

Leading the Way

Neil A. Grauer

Johns Hopkins University Press
2012
sidottu
The first comprehensive history of Hopkins Medicine in more than twenty years, "Leading the Way" not only recounts the exceptional achievements of Hopkins physicians, researchers, teachers, and students since 1889 but chronicles the extraordinary expansion and accomplishments of Hopkins Medicine over the past two decades. Within the last twenty years, dozens of multidisciplinary research institutes and centers have been created to expand the frontiers of research in such wide-ranging fields as genetic medicine, biomedicine, cell engineering, cardiovascular care, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease), and patient safety. In addition, a completely new medical school curriculum was formulated; four hospitals-two in Maryland, one in Washington, D.C., and one in Florida-joined the Hopkins Medicine family; and, Johns Hopkins Medicine International was founded, expanding Hopkins' global influence exponentially. Hopkins Medicine has endured and overcome significant challenges and crises while still maintaining its status as the best-known health care institution in the world-with the Johns Hopkins Hospital alone being named the nation's best by U.S. News & World Report for an incredible twenty-one consecutive years. Hopkins Medicine has been the subject of award-winning television programs and best-selling books, and its faculty continues to garner recognition for outstanding achievements, including MacArthur Foundation "genius" awards, National Medals of Science, Presidential Medals of Freedom, and Nobel Prizes. Lavishly illustrated with more than four hundred photographs, most in color, "Leading the Way" provides all those interested in the story of Johns Hopkins Medicine - even just the advances in medicine itself over the past twenty years - a lively and riveting account of how Hopkins remains in the forefront of medical education, research, and patient care.
