 Science Quotes
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.

 CSI Crime Scene Investigator - Forensic Science Information, History, Applications and Subdivisions
Forensic science (often shortened to forensics) is the application of a broad spectrum of sciences to answer questions of interest to the legal system.
The use of the term "forensics" in place of "forensic science" could be considered incorrect; the term "forensic" is effectively a synonym for "legal" or "related to courts" (from Latin, it means "before the forum").
Criminalistics is the application of various sciences to answer questions relating to examination and comparison of biological evidence, trace evidence, impression evidence (such as fingerprints, footwear impressions, and tire tracks), controlled substances, firearms, and other evidence in criminal investigations.

 H-Net Review: Shalom Doron on Science and the Founding Fathers: Science in the ...
The revolutionary generation was heavily influenced by the Enlightenment, with its great emphasis on science; they based much of their political theory on scientific ideas and defended their theories by analogies from the physical, mechanical, and biological sciences.
In his fifth and final chapter, "Science and the Constitution," Cohen studies science as it influenced the political thought of James Madison and other members of the Federal Convention of 1787, as it emerges in the text of the Constitution, and as it was used by Madison to defend the Constitution in his essays in
Cohen's overarching thesis is that science influenced the political theories and debates of the Revolutionary generation, by providing them with ideals to achieve and models to imitate, as well as analogies to support and illustrate their arguments in debate.

 The University of London 1836-19
If you're a student of the University of London, a graduate interested in education or just someone interested in English History in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this book is well worth reading.
In the end, you will be reminded that the University of London is also the birth child of the British Government created by an Act of Parliament in 1836.
Thus, the University of London is a national institution, which has grown to expand and enhance higher education unlike any other University in the world.

 Thurgood Marshall Law Library - David Hoffman
1836 - Although he had ceased to teach at the University Hoffman continued to develop and add to his "science of jurisprudence." Unfortunately, these additions only made the work larger than it already was and, in an age when the educational requirements for lawyers were increasingly being down played, even less attractive.
As the lawyer's home should be his study (and the remark applies to every profession) let it be graced, not only with every convince but as far as practicable with every work, of any merit, known to his science.
Not that the most elevated attainments have not, and may not be acquired with much less means, but that their possession (with even a tolerably well regulated mind) is the surest stimulant to industrious and persevering enterprises into the depths of the science to which he is dedicated.

People are better disposed towards science and technology than they were a year ago, says David Attenborough, this year's president of the British Association.
In his presidential address, he quoted the results of a Daily Telegraph poll published this week which showed that only 11 per cent of those questioned think that the effects of science are 'quite harmful or disastrous'.
Better still, 81 per cent of those polled were positively in favour of science, judging it to have a moderately, or even 'enormously beneficial' effect on their lives.

The Science for Conservators series was first published in 1982 and designed for those working on paintings, paper, fine art and archaeological artefacts and monuments.
The books were conceived as basic texts for conservators lacking a science background and aimed to bridge the gap between practical conservation and the science on which it is based.

If you're a student of the University of London, a graduate interested in education or just someone interested in English History in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this book is well worth reading.
You can move from the Parliamentary debates of the 1830's in charting a new University to grant degrees, to the twentieth century where the House of Commons debates about the funding of the University - all very political and fascinating to read.
Thus, the University of London is a national institution, which has grown to expand and enhance higher education unlike any other University in the world.

Science Monitor: Carbon offsets sound fine, but whose counting?
The Christian Science Monitor’s Moises Velasquez-Manoff pokes around behind the rhetorical curtain of “carbon neutral” mantras to see if emission offsets, credits, trading, and other schemes are on the up and up.
What he finds is that no agency or system has the teeth to assure that when one buys a carbon credit it means much.

 Darwin Day Celebration - englishL
While music is both intellectual and entertaining, science is our most reliable knowledge system, and it has been and continues to be acquired through human curiosity and ingenuity.
Therefore, we conclude that Charles Darwin is a worthy symbol on which to focus, in order to build a Global Celebration of Science and Humanity that is intended to promote a common bond among all people of the earth.
Many churches are joining the celebration of Darwin, Science and Humanity -- you will find excellent examples here -- from their website: “on 11 February 2007 hundreds of congregations from all portions of the country and a host of denominations will come together to discuss the compatibility of religion and science.
