Encyclopedia: 1848 The European Revolutions of 1848, in some countries known as the Spring of Nations or the Year of Revolution, were a series of revolutions triggered by the Revolution of 1848 in France, which erupted in February 1848 in Paris and soon spread to the rest of Europe. Albert I of Monaco Albert I (November 13, 1848 – June 26, 1922) was the reigning Prince of Monaco from September 10, 1889 – June 26, 1922). Christian VIII Christian VIII (September 18, 1786–January 20, 1848), king of Denmark 1839-48 and of Norway 1814-14, the eldest son of the hereditary prince Frederick of Denmark and Sophia Frederica of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, was born in 1786 at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/1848   (7468 words)

Science Quotes - The Quotations Page Science is nothing but developed perception, interpreted intent, common sense rounded out and minutely articulated. Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science. In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms. www.quotationspage.com /subjects/science   (773 words)

How Science Can Be a Drag on Democracy?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) Science has been with us for only 300 years and Darwin wrote his book Origin of the Species in 1848. We are using Science to try to solve problems that Science cannot solve and we have stopped using that portion of our minds that could produce solutions. Science and the scientific method are useless for this type of issue. www.thenewliberator.com /article05.htm   (784 words)

Chronology of Science in the United States 1840-1849 The National Institution for the Promotion of Science was founded in Washington, as a successor to the Columbian Institute, with Secretary of War Joel R. Poinsett taking the lead. The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia received a bird collection of 10,000 European specimens from Thomas B. Wilson (1807-1865), leading to the claim that it was the best ornithological collection in the world. The first meeting of the new society was held in Philadelphia in September 1848, where a constitution was adopted and William C. Redfield (1789-1857) was elected as president. home.earthlink.net /~claelliott/chron1840.htm   (2857 words)

David Ketterer- The SF Element in the Work of Poe: A Chronological Survey It is the "happier star" mentioned in "Sonnet--To Science," which functions as a proem to "Al Aaraaf"; here the world of myth, displaced on earth by science, has taken refuge. In this fourth doppelganger grotesque (see #33), the result of the narrator's mutilating his fl cat (a projection of those aspects of his personality he wishes to exorcise) is a series of catastrophes culminating in the death of his wife-i.e., his potential for arabesque awareness. Claims that Poe was "the first writer of science centered fiction to base his stories firmly on a rational kind of explanation, avoiding the supernatural" (p4l7); counts seven of the tales as SF: ## 13, 58, 59, 62, 74, 81, 83. www.depauw.edu /sfs/backissues/3/ketter3bib.htm   (6434 words)

Amy Ione reviews The Establishment of Science in America by Sally Gregory Kohlstedt, Michael M. Sokal, and Bruce V. ... Founded in 1848 by 461 men of science, mostly geologists and naturalists, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has grown to be a major force in science today. In the final section, “Shifting Science from People to Programs: AAAS in the Postwar Years”, Bruce V. Lewenstein conveys the dramatic changes to the organization as the United States and America took on a new role worldwide at the end of the twentieth century. In summary, we are given a good sense of the degree to which the AAAS was shaped by the democratic ideal and how the striving for an inclusive membership was repeatedly re-defined as the group attempted to balance the notion of an elite body of professional scientists with the democratic ideal. human-nature.com /nibbs/02/ione.html   (1231 words)

AAAS - AAAS News Release First-time Science author, Cindy Van Dover, an assistant professor at the College of William and Mary, recalls watching the outline for two companion manuscripts emerge on a ship's flboard, while she was completing field research in the Indian Ocean. Tatar chose Science because, he says, "the paper crossed a lot of different disciplines, from aging research to insect physiology, and we wanted to reach a broad audience." He also appreciated the journal's editorially independent status within the nonprofit AAAS, founded in 1848. Science's long-standing reputation, as a journal established in 1880 by Thomas A. Edison, was the key for veteran Frank Heppner, too, who says he went with AAAS some 34 years ago for "the prestige, snob value, and career enhancement!" www.aaas.org /news/releases/2002/firsttimeauthors.shtml   (1385 words)

Work and Revolution in France : The Language of Labor from the Old Regime to 1848   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) Work and Revolution in France : The Language of Labor from the Old Regime to 1848 Review: William H. Sewell argues that the analysis of early nineteenth century French labor idiom reveals its roots were firmly established in Ancien Regime artisan   corporations. Revealing what the author calls a "little- noticed paradox," Sewell discovered "the discourse of revolutionary workers of 1848 was laced with seemingly archaic terminology dating from the guild and corporate system of the old regime... In spite of the main argument sometimes becoming lost in the shuffle, the author's conclusions reveal a well-researched thesis and a significant postmodern contribution to the history of labor. www.textkit.com /0_0521299519.html   (474 words)

University of Minnesota - Department of Geology and Geophysics-Faculty Pages I pursue research on the interface of science with American culture, particularly the practice of science in those institutions where there was a persistent and evident relationship with the larger society. Understanding the practice of science in historical terms and in relationship to the societies, museums, and laboratories makes more evident the changing nature of scientific investigation, the complex way in which scientific results are produced, and the impact of scientific knowledge on local and international communities. Other current research interests connect to the ways science has been presented to the public, particularly in the nineteenth century, through organizations like the American Association for the Advancement of Science, through public museum displays, and through educational programs. www.geo.umn.edu /people/profs/S-KOHLSTEDT.html   (543 words)

Philosophy and Mathematics In antiquity, for instance, Plato (428-328 B.C.E.) was heavily influenced by Pythagoras's views of abstract objects, such as numbers, and in trying to understand the nature of knowledge, used geometry as a model. There are three main ways in which the study of philosophy can contribute to students majoring in mathematics. First, by acquainting them with the history of their discipline, including its interconnections with the development of other disciplines, such as philosophy and the natural sciences. www.union.edu /PUBLIC/PHLDEPT/academics/philMTH.html   (491 words)

Social Science Knowledge: A Report on Institutionalization The concept of structure was established, borrowed from the physical and biological sciences, in studies of the state beginning with Hobbes and in economic writings of the Physiocrats and Adam Smith. Economics then was not a "human science", developed by philosophers in the faculty of letters, and was no longer a "political science", developed by civil servants in relation to problems of state administration[, and could thus claim autonomy]. Political science was the last of the social sciences to emerge as an institutional complex of university departments, associations and scholarly journals. fbc.binghamton.edu /rlssk.htm   (16514 words)
