Slouch
The strange and surprising history of the so-called epidemic of bad posture in modern America--from eugenics and posture pageants to today's promoters of "paleo posture" In 1995, a scandal erupted when the New York Times revealed that the Smithsonian possessed a century's worth of nude "posture" photos of college students. In this riveting history, Beth Linker tells why these photos were only a small part of the incredible story of twentieth-century America's largely forgotten posture panic--a decades-long episode in which it was widely accepted as scientific fact that Americans were suffering from an epidemic of bad posture, with potentially catastrophic health consequences. Tracing the rise and fall of this socially manufactured epidemic, Slouch also tells how this period continues to feed today's widespread anxieties about posture. In the early twentieth century, the eugenics movement and fears of disability gave slouching a new scientific relevance. Bad posture came to be seen as an individual health threat, an affront to conventional race hierarchies, and a sign of American decline. What followed were massive efforts to measure, track, and prevent slouching and, later, back pain--campaigns that reached schools, workplaces, and beyond, from the creation of the American Posture League to posture pageants. The popularity of posture-enhancing products, such as girdles and lumbar supports, exploded, as did new fitness programs focused on postural muscles, such as Pilates and modern yoga. By 1970, student protests largely brought an end to school posture exams and photos, but many efforts to fight bad posture continued, despite a lack of scientific evidence. A compelling history that mixes seriousness and humor, Slouch is a unique and provocative account of the unexpected origins of our largely unquestioned ideas about bad posture.
The Last of Its Kind
Shortlisted for the Royal Society Trivedi Science Book PrizeHow an iconic bird's final days exposed the reality of human-caused extinction The great auk is one of the most tragic and documented examples of extinction. A flightless bird that bred primarily on the remote islands of the North Atlantic, the last of its kind were killed in Iceland in 1844. G穩sli P獺lsson draws on firsthand accounts from the Icelanders who hunted the last great auks to bring to life a bygone age of Victorian scientific exploration while offering vital insights into the extinction of species. P獺lsson vividly recounts how British ornithologists John Wolley and Alfred Newton set out for Iceland to collect specimens only to discover that the great auks were already gone. At the time, the Victorian world viewed extinction as an impossibility or trivialized it as a natural phenomenon. P獺lsson chronicles how Wolley and Newton documented the fate of the last birds through interviews with the men who killed them, and how the naturalists' Icelandic journey opened their eyes to the disappearance of species as a subject of scientific concern--and as something that could be caused by humans. Blending a richly evocative narrative with rare, unpublished material as well as insights from ornithology, anthropology, and P獺lsson's own North Atlantic travels, The Last of Its Kind reveals how the saga of the great auk opens a window onto the human causes of mass extinction.

Why God is man's best friend
In truth, there are no arguments against believing in God. There are only misconceptions, some of them very old, that are based on completely unfounded reservations about God. People must no longer allow themselves to be deprived of their happiness by what is ultimately nothing. "We can only liberate ourselves?"-That is true if you mean that we must choose God. That is where it all begins. There is no other way to true liberation. This booklet therefore aims to explain conclusively why God is truly man's best friend:
The Correspondence of John Tyndall, Volume 14
The 499 letters in the fourteenth volume of The Correspondence of John Tyndall cover a number of particularly intense and acrimonious disputes. More notably, this volume spans the period of the composition, delivery, and furious reaction to Tyndall's famous--or, more accurately, infamous--Belfast Address. This prestigious lecture, which he delivered as the newly inaugurated president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, has long been heralded as one of the most momentous events of the nineteenth century. The letters in this volume provide a new, and unprecedentedly detailed, account of all aspects of the era-defining address. For Tyndall himself, it afforded a new level of prominence as a public intellectual, and he deployed his position to engage directly with some of the most contentious issues in Victorian society, especially the role of religion in relation to science. But Tyndall's expertise was also required on more practical matters, and the letters in this volume document his extensive role in determining official government policy on urgent questions such as safety at sea and public health. Additionally, they chart a dramatic shift in his personal life, with his initial correspondence with Louisa Hamilton, with whom he had previously communicated only through her family, marking the point where their burgeoning friendship developed into a formal relationship.

Moral Philosophy, from Socrates to the 21st Aeon
Ethics are a set of human rules, which morally allow an individual to interact in, or live freely within a group of people. This may be in society at large, a team, a professional body, or a group of people with similar interests. Historically, ethics or moral philosophy, are as old as human comprehension. These can be traced back to the pre-historic prohibited and accepted patterns of attitudes. Through the ages, attempts were made by thinkers to clarify the way people behave, share things, mix in numbers, and maintain standards. In modern times, the catalogue of such values and rules become part of all professions. Ethical contacts change with the advent of a new belief, codes of practice and reliance on each other. People live in societies for what they can get out of it. What exactly and how much one can get out of society will depend on the ethical standards set in the respective state. Ethics as such, will include the religious beliefs, the laws, and social norms.
Alchemy
Flush with hundreds of illustrations, this book revisits the histories of chemistry, medicine, ideas, and culture through the lens of alchemy "Philip Ball's book is a treasure: beautifully illustrated and, as usual, the author caries his learning lightly."--David Wootton, Spectator The craft of alchemy has intrigued and mystified people since antiquity. Many early cultures are known to have experimented with chemical transformations: from dyes, glazes, and cosmetics in Bronze Age Egypt to life-extending elixirs pursued by scholars in ancient China and India. Many have also attempted to transform lead, mercury, and other metals into gold--and some claim to have succeeded. In this visually stunning volume, Philip Ball sets alchemy within the context of the history of science and culture, showing that it was not simply an esoteric fantasy but an important phase in the development of experimental science and natural philosophy. Rich illustrations complement a narrative history of the methods and techniques developed in alchemical workshops, the search for the philosopher's stone and "elixirs of life" that extended across diverse cultures, and the controversies surrounding the practices of making alchemical gold and alchemical medicine. Ball explores the rise of alchemy from its inception in Hellenistic culture, through the golden age of Islamic natural philosophy in the eighth to the eleventh centuries, to the emergence of the tradition of natural magic in the Renaissance, and to the roles of alchemical thought and practice in the beginnings of early modern science in the seventeenth century. He traces the persistence of alchemical ideas through the occult revival of the late nineteenth century and the fascination of the topic for modern artists and writers. This engaging and accessible book will provide readers of all backgrounds with a nuanced understanding of alchemy and its history.
Scientific Methodology in Nineteenth Century Britain
This collection of primary sources examines scientific methodology in Britain during the long nineteenth century. The nineteenth century played host to the development, for the first time, of statistical and probabilistic methods across the biological, human, and social sciences.

Scientific Methodology in Nineteenth Century Britain
This collection of primary sources examines scientific methodology in Britain during the long nineteenth century. Perhaps the most striking feature of nineteenth-century works on scientific method is the extent to which they were taken up by authors interested in writing large-scale, systemic works introducing, at one stroke, a philosophy of science, a view of what "good scientific practice" would look like, and investigations of logic, epistemology, and metaphysics. This volume presents the views laid out in the four largest and most important such treatises: Sir John F. W. Herschel's Preliminary Discourse on Natural Philosophy, William Whewell's History of the Inductive Sciences and Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences, and John Stuart Mill's A System of Logic, as well as other contributors to the philosophy of science in this period. This title will be of great interest to students of the history of philosophy and the history of science.
Scientific Methodology in Nineteenth Century Britain
This collection of primary sources examines scientific methodology in Britain during the long nineteenth century. The nineteenth century begins with what was still a largely Newtonian perspective on the nature of matter and the physical world - Newtonian bodies moving through space, guided by a collection of forces, with gravity foremost among them. By the end of the century, physical science had refocused itself around the concept of energy, the first moves toward the understanding of atomic structure had been undertaken, and electricity and magnetism were understood in terms of fields of force. This volume examines primary sources related to the philosophy of the physical sciences, and will be of great interest to students of the history of philosophy and the history of science.

Deeper than Data
What lies beneath the information you think you know? We live in an age drowning in information. Facts, figures, metrics, data... they're everywhere. But the most important truths aren't found in the numbers. They live deeper. There's something beneath the surface of everything. Beneath the facts, the memories, the measurements. Beneath what you think you know.AI can't tell you.It's not taught in schools.It's missing from history books.It's deeper. More foundational. Closer than your own breath.This book is a journey into what hides under the noise... the quiet architecture of reality itself, and the one thing in you that no data can touch.Read it if you dare. If you're ready to "unplug"...You may never see anything the same way again.
The Enigmatic Nature of Infinity
This book is not intended exclusively for mathematicians but for those readers willing to follow logical reasoning and then accept the conclusions, however strange they may seem. The book comes in several parts. The part titled Infinity Before Cantor gives an account of infinity as commonly understood, with explanations of all the mathematics needed for the rest of the book. It includes the analysis of two interesting paradoxes: Achilles race with the tortoise (a race the tortoise is convinced he will win) and Gabriel s Horn, which has a finite volume yet an infinite surface area. The part titled Cantor s Work on Infinity follows Georg Cantor s revolutionary work. This begins with a logical analysis of an imaginary meeting between delegates and the chairs on which they are seated, from which a fundamental conclusion is reached. The work then progresses, logically and step-by-step, to Cantor s astonishing results. It culminates in the revelation that there exists an infinity of different levels of infinity, expressed in terms of the infinity of natural or cardinal numbers.
