	Mad scientist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As an example, of all science fiction before 1914 which dealt with the end of the world, two-thirds were about naturalistic endings (such as collision with an asteroid), and the other third was devoted to endings caused by humans (about half were accidental, half purposeful).
		In more recent years, the mad scientist as a lone investigator of the forbidden unknown has tended to be replaced by mad corporate executives who plan to profit from defying the laws of nature and humanity regardless of who suffers; these people hire a salaried scientific staff to pursue their twisted dreams.
		Mad scientists, and the relationship between man and technology in general, are the focus of the current webcomic A Miracle of Science.

		Around the turn of the century, famous scientists expressed their sadness that the great adventure of science was nearly at an end: nothing really significant remained to be discovered.
		Science fiction is not a predictive but an informative tool, which seeks to prevent mistakes by trying to keep up with change rather than to stop it.
		Most of all, he offers a chance to practice in fiction the lessons that are increasingly demanded by our lives: how to live with the pressure of changing times, how to flow with them rather than resist them, how to seek out really new possibilities in a world in which every path seems increasingly predetermined.

	RealClimate » Michael Crichton’s State of Confusion L’état de confusion de Michael Crichton
		A variety of story, first identified in the fan fiction community, but quickly recognized as occurring elsewhere, in which normal story values are grossly subordinated to inadequately transformed personal wish-fulfillment fantasies, often involving heroic or romantic interactions with the cast of characters of some popular entertainment.
		Scientists rightly have to worry about false positives - claiming something (like global warming) is happening, when it is not, or their reputation might be harmed (and no one will believe them when they call wolf next time).
		The fact is climate changes and Mother Nature is bigger than all the scientists and all the environmentalists on the planet, we would do service to her in recognizing this fact.

	Veeder, "The Negative Oedipus" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Mary Shelley in fact insisted upon the superiority of a father's tuition for daughters, devoted much of her fiction to father-directed emotions and events, confessed privately to untoward affection for Godwin, and expressed this affection so shockingly in Mathilda that her father suppressed the novel.
		By taking this approach to Mary's later fiction and to Percy's The Revolt of Islam, I can not only confirm the prominence of father for the Shelleys but also establish the ideal against which their most subversive and important art was created.
		There is perhaps in the list of human sensations, no one so pure, so perfect, and yet so impassioned, as the affection of a child for its parent, during that brief interval when they are leaving childhood, and have not yet felt love.

		Grade 5-9-In introducing and concluding this assemblage of fictional and real-life characters, Barron differentiates between the terms "hero" and "celebrity" and probes the qualities that constitute the former.
		Perhaps most likable about "The Hero's Guide" is that Barron really doesn't allow barriers in what he considers "heroism." He devotes page after page to people from different cultures, countries, and many of them are kids, like a young boy who started counselling others to keep them out of gangs.
		Primarily dealing with ordinary people who turn into heroes when the time is right, it involves such people as Tiare Marie Wells, who saved the life of a ice fisherman who wouldï¿½ve otherwise drowned and Ben MacDonald, who survived in the wild for over two months by living with a female badger.

	General Theory of Religion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Socrates is the hero of the intellectual branch of the Western Rationalistic Tradition in large part because he accepted nothing without argument and was relentlessly critical of any attempts at solving philosophical problems.
		The heroic age of the Western Rationalistic Tradition came during and after the Renaissance when the faiths and dogmas of the Middle Ages were subjected to ever more savage criticism, until finally we reached the European Enlightenment and the skepticism of Hume and Voltaire, for example.
		Kuhn, in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, is supposed to have shown that the claims of science to describe an independently existing reality are false, and that, in fact, scientists are more governed by crowd psychology than by rationality, and tend to flock from one 'paradigm' to another in periodic scientific revolutions.

		The Wold Newton Family is a group of heroic and villainous literary figures that science fiction author Philip José Farmer postulated belonged to the same genetic family.
		It is theorized here that there are many other characters, heroic and otherwise, who also exist in the Wold Newton Universe; some, although of course not all, may actually be members of the Wold Newton mutant family, not described by Mr.

		Like many bad marriages, however, its intent is earnest, even heroic: to find a way for the disparate concerns of scientist and humanist to meld together without sacrificing their particularity.
