Abstract

Succédant à la science d'Aristote, de Ptolémée et de Galien, la science que nous appelons classique s'est déployée en Occident pendant plus de trois siècles, accompagnée, dans sa genèse, par la constitution d'une nouvelle raison. Le projet mécaniste et la mathématisation gouvernent désormais l'appréhension conjointe de la nature céleste et terrestre. Ils sont servis par de nouvelles méthodes centrées sur le couple ratio - experientia, le calcul et l'expérience : dès lors, calculer, mesurer, observer, déduire sont pratiqués de concert. Vouée à une application universelle, la science classique a suscité dans ses débuts des recherches peu conformes, nous semble-t-il aujourd'hui, à la mise en oeuvre d'une raison véritablement scientifique. Quel rôle l'expérience alchimique a-t-elle joué dans la méthode expérimentale ? Dans quelle mesure les spéculations mystiques sur les nombres ont-elles nourri la mathématisation de l'univers ? Comment expliquer que Kepler ait dressé des horoscopes et que Van Helmont ait cru fabriquer de l'or ? Autant de paradoxes qui invitent à se pencher sur le contexte et l'environnement conceptuel de la science classique. Regroupant en quatre parties plusieurs dizaines d'essais, ce Dictionnaire critique traite, dans un premier temps, des milieux, des réseaux et des institutions qui ont contribué à l'apparition de la science classique, ainsi qu'à sa diffusion. Il présente ensuite les acteurs principaux de cette révolution, puis analyse les concepts et les débats les plus caractéristiques : de l'infini à l'hermétisme en passant par les instruments, les atomes ou le mécanisme, ce sont autant de facettes, polies une à une, de la nouvelle science. Enfin, une quatrième partie décrit, de façon plus large, l'évolution des territoires du savoir, comme l'histoire naturelle ou l'homme, le mouvement ou la lumière, l'algèbre et la géométrie. Conduite par une équipe internationale de chercheurs, cette entreprise montre que, dans ses conquêtes et jusque dans ses égarements, la raison scientifique propre à la science classique, soucieuse de saisir la vérité des choses, a modelé la vision du monde des hommes du XXe siècle.

Abstract

The lack of a well organised index of synonyms of plant names for the period of the later Middle Ages has increasingly been felt by historians, philologists and sociologists to be one of the big lacunas in their field. In his Boec van medicinen in Dietsche (Brill, 1967) Willem F. Daems presented in a Synonymarium van Middelnederlandse Plantennamen a summary of the plant names which occurred in a single text conceived in c. 1300. He now evaluates, assigns parameters for meaning to and in the majority of cases identifies the pharmaco-botanical material contained in about 100 medieval manuscripts and text editions (German, Dutch and English). The depth and breadth of the author's botanical knowledge is widely recognised and the combination of this with his background in history and philology make this book a long-awaited and indispensable standard reference work in the field.

Abstract

Energy is crucial for events of every kind, in this world or any other. Without energy, nothing would ever happen. Nothing would move and there would be no life. The sun wouldn't shine, winds wouldn't blow, rivers wouldn't flow, trees wouldn't grow, birds wouldn't fly, and fish wouldn't swim; indeed no material object, living or dead, could even exist. In spite of all this, energy is seldom considered a part of what we call "nature." In The Energy of Nature, E. C. Pielou explores energy's role in nature-how and where it originates, what it does, and what becomes of it. Drawing on a wide range of scientific disciplines, from physics, chemistry, and biology to all the earth sciences, as well as on her own lifelong experience as a naturalist, Pielou opens our eyes to the myriad ways energy and its transfer affect the earth and its inhabitants. Along the way we learn how energy is delivered to the earth from the sun; how it causes weather, winds, and tides; how it shapes the earth through mountain building and erosion; how it is captured and used by living things; how it is stored in chemical bonds; how nuclear energy is released; how it heats the unseen depths of the planet and is explosively revealed in the turmoil of earthquakes and volcanoes; how energy manifests itself in magnetism and electromagnetic waves; how we harness it to fuel human societies; and much more. Filled with fascinating information and helpful illustrations (hand drawn by the author), The Energy of Nature is fun, readable, and instructive. Science buffs of all ages will be delighted.

Abstract

Comprehensive Biochemistry, Volume 17: Carbohydrate Metabolism focuses on the processes, reactions, and transformations involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, including glycosaminoglycans, enzymes, oxidation, and glycolysis. The selection first elaborates on functional organization contributing to carbohydrate economy and control of synthesis and breakdown of glycogen, starch, and cellulose.
