  Science (journal) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Science, the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), is one of the world's most prestigious scientific publications.

 MSN Encarta - Search View - Science Fiction
Science fiction would not exist in its present form without the social changes that took place at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-18th century.
Science fiction also began to be published in the new mass-market paperback form and in hardcover, first from small presses devoted to science fiction and then by major publishers.
While science fiction is first and foremost a literary genre, the concepts and themes that it has set forth have also been adapted for use in radio and television shows, motion pictures, and other forms of mass media.

 MSN Encarta - Science Fiction
Science and technology began appearing as a subject of fiction in the 19th century.
Wells began to write stories with science themes in 1894, demonstrating more interest in biology and evolution than in other sciences, and more concern about the social consequences of invention than about the accuracy of the invention itself.
Most early science fiction was published in magazines and aimed at a readership of boys and young men.

The history of science is not a mere record of isolated discoveries; it is a narrative of the conflict of two contending powers, the expansive force of the human intellect on one side, and the compression arising from traditionary faith and human interest on the other.
Science must constantly be reminded that her purposes are not the only purposes and that the order of uniform causation which she has use for may be enveloped in a wider order.
Science cannot be ignored or rejected, because it is bound up with modern technique; it is essential alike to prosperity in peace and to victory in war.

 Science and Technology Policy Yearbook: Chapter 26: The Role of AAAS in US Science Policy: The First 150 Years
The outlines of one such program, the current series of AAAS Science and Technology Policy Colloquia were put in place when, in March 1958, AAAS convened a "Parliament of Science" to consider current policy issues in science and technology and their contributions to national welfare.
Perhaps the best summation of the role of AAAS in science and policy was made by Dael Wolfle who observed that, "It is a truism to say that the activities of an individual or of an association are influenced by the conditions under which they live and work.
But the specifics of those relationships between science and society are the stuff of science policy, of the nation's attitudes toward and its support for and control of scientific activities.

 Owen's Position in the History of Anatomical Science (1894)
As Buffon opposed the extreme systematizers, who seemed to think it the end of science, not so much to know about an object as to be able to name it and fit it into their system, so Daubenton insisted on the study of each animal as an individual whole.
Goethe's contributions to the science of morphology (the very term 'morphology,' in its technical sense, is his) were by no means so widely known to anatomists, or valued by them, as they ought to have been; and it was long before their unquestionable merits were properly appreciated.
Science has need of servants of very various qualifications; of artistic constructors no less than of men of business; of people to design her palaces and of others to see that the materials are sound and well fitted together; of some to spur investigators and of others to keep their heads cool.

This statement is confusing, because Juhle is referencing Dall, 1894, in Science, volume 3.
However, volume 3 of Science was published in 1884, and, although there is an article by Dall published in that issue, it does not discuss Iliamna.

 Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925),anthroposophy, Waldorf Schools
Steiner thought of his Anthroposophy as a "spiritual science." Convinced that reality is essentially spiritual, he wanted to train people to overcome the material world and learn to comprehend the spiritual world by the higher, spiritual self.
In 1913 at Dornach, near Basel, Switzerland, Steiner built his Goetheanum, a "school of spiritual science." This would be a forerunner of the Steiner or Waldorf schools.

David Cahan has assembled an outstanding group of European and North American historians of science and philosophy for this intellectual biography of Helmholtz, the first ever to critically assess both his published and unpublished writings.
It represents a significant contribution not only to Helmholtz scholarship but also to the history of nineteenth-century science and philosophy in general.
