Overview: The Management of Science contains essays from nine internationally-known experts in the rapidly-developing field of science studies. These contributions deal both with the broader issues such as government intervention and with detailed problems such as advances in biotechnology. They will be of interest to politicians, civil servants, academics, research-planners and other members of the community who want to see administered science the obedient but enterprising servant of a democratic society.978-1-349-21275-0

Overview: My ‘discovery‘ of the Polish School of philosophy of medicine stemmed from my studies in the genesis of Ludwik Fleck‘s epistemology. These studies, and my interest in the scientific roots of Fleck‘s epistemology were a nearly ‘natural‘ result of my own biography: like Fleck I had been trained, an had worked as an immunologist, and had later switched to studies in the social history of medicine and biology. Moreover, it so happened that Fleck‘s book, Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact -the description of a science as it is, not as it should be -was the first epistemological

Overview: Situates the field of mammalian social biology beyond single species and populations.Offers new notations for group and individual social competition among species.Provides an ecological perspective o.This brief discusses factors associated with group formation, group maintenance, group population structure, and other events and processes (e.g., physiology, behavior) related to mammalian social evolution. Within- and between-lineages, features of prehistoric and extant social mammals, patterns and linkages are discussed as components of a possible social “tool-kit”.? "Top-down” (pred

Overview: Comprehensive review of contemporary theories and approaches in the field of law and ageing.Combination of jurisprudential discussion of law and ageing with specific case law analysis.Written by the lThis book is about trying to answer questions. These questions were well introduced by Prof. Margaret Hall in the opening of her chapter in this book: “The fundamental idea of ‘law and aging’ as a discrete category of legal principle and theory is controversial: how and why are ‘older adults’ or ‘seniors’ or ‘elders’ (the very terminology is controversial and fraught with difficulties) a

Overview: From its modest to its recent disappearance, the British Empire was an extraordinary and paradoxical entity. North America, Africa, South and Southeast Asia and Australasia and innumerable small islands and territories have been fundamentally shaped - economically, socially and politically - by a nation whose imperial drive came from a bewildering mixture of rapacity and moral zeal, of high-mindedness and viciousness, of strategic cunning and feckless neglect.Martin Kitchen has written a fascinating, crisp, informative account of the rise and fall of the British Empire, concentrating

Overview: Presents the chloroplast as an organelle with multiple roles especially interaction and communication with their surroundings.In depth analysis of chloroplasts and their vital roles in addition to oxy.Chloroplasts are vital for life as we know it. At the leaf cell level, it is common knowledge that a chloroplast interacts with its surroundings – but this knowledge is often limited to the benefits of oxygenic photosynthesis and that chloroplasts provide reduced carbon, nitrogen and sulphur.
