The Alfonsine Tables of Toledo

By: José Chabás,Bernard R. Goldstein

The Alfonsine Tables of Toledo is for historians working in the fields of astronomy, science, the Middle Ages, Spanish and other Romance languages. It is also of interest to scholars interested in the history of Castile, in Castilian-French relations in the Middle Ages and in the history of patronage. It explores the Castilian canons of the Alfonsine Tables and offers a study of their context, language, astronomical content, and diffusion. The Alfonsine Tables of Toledo is unique in that it: includes an edition of a crucial text in history of science; provides an explanation of astronomy as it was practiced in the Middle Ages; presents abundant material on early scientific language in Castilian; presents new material on the diffusion of Alfonsine astronomy in Europe; describes the role of royal patronage of science in a medieval context.

Astronomy in the Iberian Peninsula

Abraham Zacut and the Transition from Manuscript to Print

By: José Chabás,Bernard R. Goldstein

Abraham Zacut (1452-1515) of Salamanca was an outstanding intellectual figure in the Spanish Jewish community on the eve of the expulsion in 1492. His scientific work began in the 1470s, & continued in exile, in Portugal, N. Africa, & ultimately in Jerusalem. This monograph focuses on some of his important contributions to astronomy, namely, those that appear in the book published in Leiria, Portugal, in 1496, generally known as the "Almanach Perpetuum"; this publication is to be distinguished from "ha-Hibbur ha-gadol" ("The Great Composition") that Zacut composed in Hebrew in 1478. Indeed, one of the findings in the course of research for this vol. is that these are distinct works. Bibliography. Charts & tables.

From Summetria to Symmetry: The Making of a Revolutionary Scientific Concept

By: Giora Hon,Bernard R. Goldstein

Many literary critics seem to think that an hypothesis about obscure and remote questions of history can be refuted by a simple demand for the production of more evidence than in fact exists. The demand is as easy to make as it is impossible to satisfy. But the true test of an hypothesis, if it cannot be shown to con?ict with known truths, is the number of facts that it correlates and explains. Francis M. Cornford [1914] 1934, 220. It was in the autumn of 1997 that the research project leading to this publication began. One of us [GH], while a visiting fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Science (University of Pittsburgh), gave a talk entitled, “Proportions and Identity: The Aesthetic Aspect of Symmetry”. The presentation focused on a confusion s- rounding the concept of symmetry: it exhibits unity, yet it is often claimed to reveal a form of beauty, namely, harmony, which requires a variety of elements. In the audience was the co-author of this book [BRG] who responded with enthusiasm, seeking to extend the discussion of this issue to historical sources in earlier periods. A preliminary search of the literature persuaded us that the history of symmetry was rich in possibilities for new insights into the making of concepts. John Roche’s brief essay (1987), in which he sketched the broad outlines of the history of this concept, was particularly helpful, and led us to conclude that the subject was worthy of monographic treatment.

Why Theatre Education Matters

Understanding Its Cognitive, Social, and Emotional Benefits

By: Thalia R. Goldstein

Discover the cognitive, social, emotional, and other psychological benefits of learning how to act and perform. This book looks behind the curtain of theatre education to see how thinking on stage happens in real secondary classrooms. Reporting on the first large scale systematic qualitative analyses of acting classes for adolescents, the author introduces the discovery of the eight Acting Habits of Mind-thinking strategies to solve problems and creatively complete tasks. Each Habit is tied to current scientific research findings for related psychological constructs, including creativity, self-esteem, empathy, emotion regulation, and well-being. Connections are then made to individual student needs, future research, and the complexity of theatre education. Based in the science of development and actual theatre education as it happens in a variety of school types, with a diversity of students, this book provides an answer to the question "What, psychologically, is an acting class?" Every educator, administrator, and arts lover can use this book to better understand and advocate for their art form and demonstrate why theatre should be included in schools. Theatre educators, advocates, and performers have long theorized about the cognitive, social, emotional, and other psychological benefits of learning how to act and perform. However, a thorough, scientifically-based analyses of acting classes and the benefits of theatre has been missing- until now. This book looks behind the curtain of theatre education to see how thinking on stage happens - in real classroom. Reporting on the first large scale systematic qualitative analyses of actual acting classes for adolescents, this book introduces the discovery of the 8 "Acting Habits of Mind" - thinking strategies to solve problems and creatively complete tasks- that are used, integrated and fostered in acting classes. Each Acting Habit of Mind is tied to the current scientific research and findings for related psychological constructs, including creativity, self-esteem, empathy, and emotion regulation and health. Then, connections are made to individual student needs, future research, and the complexity of theatre education. Based in the science of development and actual theatre education as it happens in a variety of school types, with a diversity of students, this book provides an answer to the question "What, psychologically, is an acting class?" and can help every educator, administrator, and theatre lover advocate for their art form"--

Universal Aspects of Scientific Practice: Commitment, Methodology, and Technique

By: Giora Hon,Bernard R. Goldstein

This book provides a unique contribution to philosophy of science from the perspective of the practice of science. It focuses on processes that generate scientific knowledge and seeks general and universal features that characterize scientific practice; features that are inherent to the practice of science. Science is an activity, and the scientist is an agent who pursues some practice, which in one way or another engages evidence. In science, claims to knowledge are typically supported by argument that engages evidence at some point in explanation, in prediction, or indeed in any mode of presenting data and its interpretation. Thus, the practice of science includes at least three elements so that an argument can be formulated: presuppositions, modes of inference, and consequences that relate to evidence. The authors discuss in detail eight cases in chronological order with which they illustrate how commitment, methodology, and technique come into play in the practice of an individual physicist or a group of researchers in the physical sciences. Each case highlights aspects of the roles these categories play in scientific practice, where the goal is to generate and extend scientific knowledge.

A Dentist's Guide To Success!

A Handbook that Will Show You the Keys to Reducing Stress, Improving Productivity, and Ultimately Finding Success and Happiness in Dental Practice

By: Avrum R. Goldstein

If you are a dentist, hygienist, or dental office assistant or administrator, you know that dental practices often focus on the business side of dentistry and making money, with less of a focus on patients. Avrum R. Goldstein, DMD, FRCD(C), wrote A Dentist's Guide to Success! A Handbook That Will Show You the Keys to Reducing Stress, Improving Productivity, and Ultimately Finding Success and Happiness in Dental Practice to remind colleagues that if your priority is taking care of patients, the business side of the practice will take care of itself. By following the guidelines and suggestions now compiled in A Dentist's Guide to Success!, Dr. Goldstein was able to achieve stability, growth, and success, with significant long-term staff retention, in two specialty practices, one for thirty-two years in an urban area and one for ten years in a rural area. Even general readership can take something from A Dentist's Guide to Success! by learning what their dentist's office should be like.
