The Reception of Darwinism in the Iberian World - Spain, Spanish America and Brazil (Hardcover, 2001 ed.): T. F. Glick, Miguel... The Reception of Darwinism in the Iberian World - Spain, Spanish America and Brazil (Hardcover, 2001 ed.)

I Twenty-five years ago, at the Conference on the Comparative Reception of Darwinism held at the University of Texas in 1972, only two countries of the Iberian world-Spain and Mexico-were represented.' At the time, it was apparent that the topic had attracted interest only as regarded the "mainstream" science countries of Western Europe, plus the United States. The Eurocentric bias of professional history of science was a fact. The sea change that subsequently occurred in the historiography of science makes 1972 appear something like the antediluvian era. Still, we would like to think that that meeting was prescient in looking beyond the mainstream science countries-as then perceived-in order to test the variation that ideas undergo as they pass from center to periphery. One thing that the comparative study of the reception of ideas makes abundantly clear, however, is the weakness of the center/periphery dichotomy from the perspective of the diffusion of scientific ideas. Catholics in mainstream countries, for example, did not handle evolution much better than did their corre1igionaries on the fringes. Conversely, Darwinians in Latin America were frequently better placed to advance Darwin's ideas in a social and political sense than were their fellow evolutionists on the Continent. The Texas meeting was also a marker in the comparative reception of scientific ideas, Darwinism aside. Although, by 1972, scientific institutions had been studied comparatively, there was no antecedent for the comparative history of scientific ideas.

This textbook deals with tensors that are treated as vectors. Coverage details such new tensor concepts as the rotation of tensors, the transposer tensor, the eigentensors, and the permutation tensor structure.

A complementary computer package, written in Mathematica, is available through the Internet.

Eating to Learn, Learning to Eat - The Origins of School Lunch in the United States (Hardcover): Andrew R Ruis Eating to Learn, Learning to Eat - The Origins of School Lunch in the United States (Hardcover)
Andrew R Ruis
R2,968 Discovery Miles 29 680 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In Eating to Learn, Learning to Eat, historian A. R. Ruis explores the origins of American school meal initiatives to explain why it was (and, to some extent, has continued to be) so difficult to establish meal programs that satisfy the often competing interests of children, parents, schools, health authorities, politicians, and the food industry. Through careful studies of several key contexts and detailed analysis of the policies and politics that governed the creation of school meal programs, Ruis demonstrates how the early history of school meal program development helps us understand contemporary debates over changes to school lunch policies.

Scripture Plain & Simple is an innovative-yet accurate-adaptation of select passages from the Greek New Testament, challenging contemporary readers with the person and teaching of Jesus.
