Exploring Integrated Science

Exploring Integrated Science

Why is rubber elastic? Why are leaves green? Why can a gecko climb a wall? Answering these and a myriad of other puzzles of nature Exploring Integrated Science shows how the simplest questions that arise from our daily experiences can lead us through a chain of reasoning that explains some of the most fascinating principles of science. Written in a non-technical entertaining style to engage those without a science background while maintaining the academic rigor required by more advanced readers the book follows a unique format that enhances the learning process. Each chapter begins with a pertinent question that forms the basis for explaining a scientific principle. Step by step the text then delves into the more sophisticated scientific matter necessary for providing insight into the question presented elucidating key principles and concepts. Each chapter contains a summary highlighting the salient points answers the question definitively and concludes with a series of exercises to test readers’ assimilation of the material. Richly illustrated with more than 650 vibrant color images this work captures the essence of our intuitive appreciation of nature which is the starting point for the adventure of science. Presenting integrated scientific ideas that seamlessly blend biology mathematics chemistry and physics this volume brings the most complex and intriguing phenomena to readers in a manner that is both accessible and entertaining. The book has an accompanying website with more information.

Complete Crime Scene Investigation Handbook

Complete Crime Scene Investigation Handbook

Crime scene investigators are the foundation for every criminal investigation. The admissibility and persuasiveness of evidence in court and in turn the success of a case is largely dependent upon the evidence being properly collected recorded and handled for future analysis by investigators and forensic analysts in the lab. Complete Crime Scene Investigation Handbook is the most complete one-stop practical reference for law enforcement and crime scene professionals as well as students looking to enter the field. The book provides step-by-step methods and best practice protocols for effectively finding recognizing recording collecting preserving handling and packaging evidence. With more than 650 full color photos and illustrations the book covers:The investigative team and its responsibilitiesThe rules for forensic search and seizureProper documentation of evidence via note-taking photography and sketchingSearch patterns and the special considerations for various searchesThe use of alternative light sourcesPresumptive tests via luminol and other methodsLatent fingerprint processingEvidence collection and packagingSerological trace firearms toolmark footwear tire and digital evidenceInjury documentationAppendices with a full compliment of sample forms equipment lists and checklists to assist in crime scene investigationA special considerations section reviews topics such as shooting scene and bloodstain documentation clandestine graves and scattered human remains fire scenes and questioned document evidence. The final chapters examine how to develop a working plan and processing methodology as well as effective report writing. This book is a must-have reference for experienced forensic crime scene and investigative professionals as well as students in forensic science programs looking to enter the field.

From Atoms to Galaxies A Conceptual Physics Approach to Scientific Awareness

From Atoms to Galaxies A Conceptual Physics Approach to Scientific Awareness

From Atoms to Galaxies: A Conceptual Physics Approach to Scientific Awareness teaches heightened scientific acuity as it educates students about the physical world and gives them answers to questions large and small. Written by Sadri Hassani the author of several mathematical physics textbooks this work covers the essentials of modern physics in a way that is as thorough as it is compelling and accessible. Some of you might want to know …. How did Galileo come to think about the first law of motion?. Did Newton actually discover gravity by way of an apple and an accident?Or maybe you have mulled over…. Is it possible for Santa Claus to deliver all his toys? . Is it possible to prove that Elvis does not visit Graceland every midnight?Or perhaps you’ve even wondered …. If ancient Taoism really parallels modern physics? . If psychoanalysis can actually be called a science? . How it is that some philosophies of science may imply that a 650-year-old woman can give birth to a child? No Advanced Mathematics RequiredA primary textbook for undergraduate students not majoring in physics From Atoms to Galaxies examines physical laws and their consequences from a conceptual perspective that requires no advanced mathematics. It explains quantum physics relativity nuclear and particle physics gauge theory quantum field theory quarks and leptons and cosmology. Encouraging students to subscribe to proven causation rather than dramatic speculation the book: Defines the often obscured difference between science and technology discussing how this confusion taints both common culture and academic rigor Explores the various philosophies of science demonstrating how errors in our understanding of scientific principles can adversely impact scientific awareness Exposes how pseudoscience and New Age mysticism advance unproven conjectures as dangerous alternatives to proven science Based on courses taught by the author for over 15 years this textbook has been developed to raise the scientific awareness of the untrained reader who lacks a technical or mathematical background. To accomplish this the book lays the foundation of the laws that govern our universe in a nontechnical way emphasizing topics that excite the mind namely those taken from modern physics and exposing the abuses made of them by the New Age gurus and other mystagogues. It outlines the methods developed by physicists for the scientific investigation of nature and contrasts them with those developed by the outsiders who claim to be the owners of scientific methodology. Each chapter includes essays which use the material developed in that chapter to debunk misconceptions clarify the nature of science and explore the history of physics as it relates to the development of ideas. Noting the damage incurred by confusing science and technology the book strives to help the reader to emphatically demarcate the two while clearly demonstrating that science is the only element capable of advancing technology. | From Atoms to Galaxies A Conceptual Physics Approach to Scientific Awareness
