 Eric Flint:  1632
Most science fiction authors who have played with time dispersal focus their novels on universities or laboratories or other places which provide them with intellectuals who can discover what their situation is and act accordingly.
The time travelers in 1632 are mostly coal miners and others from a definitely blue collar background.
While 1632 could easily have become a war story, Flint is always careful to return the story to his characters, providing a focus for the reader and also presenting his workers in the best possible light.

Part of the radio frequency subsystem is also used by the Radio Science Instrument.
For telecommunications, the radio frequency subsystem produces an X-band carrier at 8.4 Ghz, modulates it with data received from the Command and Data System, amplifies the X-band carrier band-carrier power to produce 20 Watts from the Traveling Wave Tube Amplifiers (TWTA), and delivers it to the antenna subsystem.
The parts of this subsystem used for the radio science instruments are: The High-gain Antenna (ANT), the Ultra Stable Oscillator (USO), the Deep Space Transponders (DSTs), the X-band Traveling Wave Tube Amplifiers (X-TWTAs), and the X-band Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier.

The different branches of science deal in the main with the different levels of organisation of physical substance.
So physics deals with matter at its most basic, chemistry with a somewhat higher level of organisation, and biology and ecology with a higher and more complex level again.
There is so much material on different branches of science on the web that it is pointless citing links to individual pages.

 Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 81018045
Before he became a professional architect, Christopher Wren had a highly successful career as an astronomer - he was Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford University - and he was actively involved in many branches of the science or 'natural philosophy' of his day.
This book contains the first detailed account of Wren's natural philosophy and, in addition, after showing that 'science' and 'architecture' were not then distinct in the way we understand them today, it presents a new perspective on Wren's architectural philosophy.
The book will be of value to anyone interested in the history of science or of architecture.
