Oliver Lodge
(4,596 Sterne; 78 Bewertungen)
This book takes its origin in a course of lectures on the history and progress of Astronomy arranged for Sir Oliver Lodge in the year 1887. The first part of this book is devoted to the biographies and discoveries of well known astronomers like Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, Galileo and Newton. In the second part, the biographies take a back seat, while scientific discoveries are discussed more extensively, like the discovery of Asteroids and Neptune, a treatise on the tides and others.

Fascinating look at the state of the art of astronomy in the late 1800s. This is of course pre relativity, pre plate tectonics, pre radio telescopes, etc. The reading and audio quality are generally very good.

Science is Raycyst
Bill Cosby
(5 Sterne)
Science and empiricism are tools old white males use to impose an oppressive hegemonic controll structure over the kind noble altruistic BIPOCs. Instead of viewing the world through WHITE science, we should interpret the world through the lense of inclusive interpretive dance and slam poetry.
