  HSCI 1814 || Intro to History of Science
The cases from the emergence of modern science neatly span the relevant period at crude intervals, to help convey the nuances of transition.
While "modern" science is undeniably Western in origin and flavor, casting science with a lineage from Babylonia to the Principia or Los Alamos, often with an emphasis on astronomy and physics, I consider grossly misleading.
Science has roots in many cultural traditions at least, even if historians have yet to discern fully their relation to "modern" (Western) science.

Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.

 Science Museum - About us - History
The Science Museum as an institution has been in existence for about a century and a half.
The general expansion was such that during the 1860s the Science Collections were gradually moved across Exhibition Road into buildings originally constructed for the International Exhibition of 1862.
At about the same time a Science Library was established which ever since has served the needs of Museum staff, college students and the general public.

We use case episodes to understand the origins of science and how it became transformed into "modern" practice: how many cultures came to systematize knowledge of the natural world and how our current system of investigation evolved in the West.
We focus especially on historical perspective--that is, interpreting events and reasoning in the context of a different time and culture.
The course is structured on the principle that each student takes responsibility for his or her own learning, becomes engaged in the material, and chooses, to some degree, what s/he will learn.

 HISTORY OF SCIENCE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
On the one hand, the scientific method requires the evolutionary biologist to act as a close approximation of the ideal objective observer, whose overruling concern is to elucidate the empirical facts of how organic life on Earth evolves.
In the wake of sociobiology, genetic engineering, and "ethnic cleansing," the feeling has grown up among many evolutionary biologists that it is not enough to do work that is scrupulously honest, but that it must be morally responsible as well.
The assumption of such responsibility implies that place must be made for ethical considerations and their political, socio-economic, and religious expressions in the practice of science.

 Creationist Geologic Time Scale
Science, rather than using its traditional defensive approach of item-by-item rebuttal of Creationist attacks, needs to take the offensive by challenging Creationists to defend their "scientific" view of earth history as represented by this time scale.
The real battles (Schmidt 1996) between traditional science and Creationism are likely to be fought on a state by state, school board by school board basis in a form that will require active, grass-roots participation by large numbers of American scientists.
Until recently "Creation Science," as presented by the likes of Henry Morris and Duane Gish, was such a hodge-podge of geologic ideas, floating loosely in time and space, that it was nearly impossible to obtain an overall picture of how their Bible-based model might fit into the fabric of generally accepted geologic and paleontologic observations.

 APS Observer - Empirical Science for the Spotless Mind
The blank slate, the dominant theory of human nature in modern intellectual life stating that humans are shaped entirely by their experiences and not by any preexisting biological mechanisms, is being challenged and soundly trounced by the cognitive, neural, and genetic sciences, said Steven Pinker, Harvard University, in his Keynote Address.
As Pinker argued, this trilogy of theories becomes undone, repeatedly and irreparably, under the lenses of modern science — particularly, cognitive understanding, evolutionary psychology, and neurology.
When they were reunited in their 40s at a Minnesota lab, both of them were wearing identical navy blue shirts with epaulets; rubber bands around their wrists; flushed the toilet before using it as well as after; and intentionally sneezed in crowded elevators to watch other people jump.

 Amazon.ca: The burning of Washington: The British invasion of 1814: Books: Anthony Pitch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
'The Burning of Washington' by Anthony Pitch is a detailed and well written account of the British invasion of 1814 during which the British defeated the opposing American forces before marching into the Capital and putting parts of Washington to the torch, including the White House.
The one negative point that I have to raise in regards to this book is the lack of detailed maps to follow the invading forces and the subsequent battles.
1814 SHOULD be remembered with a spirit of honor and respect for those who fought and for those who lived through the tumultuously passionate early childhood of our nation.

 Science Is Not Statistics, by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Sep. 15, 1997)
The foundation of both science, and Classical forms of artistic composition, is the process by which individual human minds are capable of generating those experimentally validatable discoveries of both physical and cognitive principle, the which are generated as solutions to contradictions which can not be resolved by deductive methods.
It is the efficient interaction between discoveries of physical principle, the domain of physical science, and the use of Classical art-forms to uncover the moral principles of cognition, which defines a science of human history, the science of physical economy, and the corresponding principles of statecraft.
Thus, economic science requires, that the young members of society enjoy a quality of education which emphasizes reenacting validated original discoveries of physical principle and Classical art-forms, as opposed to merely learning approved representations and procedures.

 For Stoughton composer, 1814 peace poem still resonates - The Boston Globe
Ten-year-old Esther Talbot took up her pen, dipped it in ink, and with near perfect penmanship wrote the word "Peace" atop expensive paper.
Most likely, this was how the girl from a prominent Stoughton family began her short poem in 1814, almost two years after the start of the War of 1812 and just months before Francis Scott Key penned "The Star Spangled Banner," according to Roger Hall.
The local composer put her words to music after finding the poem more than two decades ago while searching the archives of the Stoughton Historical Society.

It is worth considering that President Madison is remembered today as the father of the Constitution, and not as the rascal who allowed the White House and the Capitol to be burned by a foreign army during a war so ineptly fought by our side.
In 1814 the British agonizingly humiliated the neophyte country by burning its capital.
