Encyclopedia of Science and Religion

On May 9, 2003, the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION was published by Macmillan Pubishers in New York. The Encyclopedia is the first authoritative work of its kind and covers a vast amount of material on the interaction of the sciences with the principal religions of the world. More that 400 prominent scholars from around the world working in the field of Science and Religion contributed 529 entries to the two-volumed work. The Editor-in-Chief, Professor J. Wentzel van Huyssteen (Princeton Theological Seminary), was assisted by Associate Editors Professor Niels Henrik Gregersen (University of Aarhus), Professor Nancy Howell (St. Paul School of Theology), and Professor Wesley Wildman (Boston University).

This encyclopedia, intended for a wide readership from high-school students to independent researchers and academics, deals with all aspects of the conflict and dialogue between science and religion. The list of scholars who have contributed is impressive, and the project had as a consultant and contributor Ian Barbour, physicist, theologian, and well-known author on the interplay of science and religion. The editorial point of view is that the formal consideration of the relationship between science and religion has become a new academic field of study. The troublesome potential of new technologies has brought questions into the public arena as well. The 400-plus alphabetically arranged entries range from broad essays on topics such as Biotechnology, Causation, and Sociobiology to shorter pieces on terms such as Cybernetics, Eco-feminism, and entropy. There are also 20 biographies of important figures in the dialogue between science and religion, from Aristotle to Stephen Jay Gould. The fore matter includes an alphabetical list of all articles as well as a synoptic outline, which enables one to see all of the articles related to, for example, physical sciences or Chinese religions. The historical and contemporary relationships between the realm of science and the major religious groups Judaism, Islam, Christian traditions, Chinese religions, Buddhism, and Hinduism are treated individually. Major scientific and academic fields are examined in the context of the encyclopedia's focus. Close to 70 articles on the physical sciences, for example, include entries on all the major arenas of the field: chemistry, particle physics, quantum physics, etc., each providing an overview of early research, contemporary developments and lessons, or applications to religious thought. All of the articles are signed and have bibliographies, some extensive. In addition, a nine-page annotated bibliography serves as a guide for further reading (and collection development) in various topics such as the human sciences and religion. A detailed index makes the wealth of material even more accessible.

Encyclopedia of Space and the Universe

Image

Children are fascinated by space, the planets, and the idea that there is "something out there". This CD-ROM is a great introduction for younger users, and covers almost everything you can think of to do with space and astronomy.

There are 3-D models of famous space craft for you to look at, and interactive areas in which you can put together a rocket ready for launch or land a module on the moon. But this CD is largely a database of information organised in lots of different ways. There are sections on the famous people of space exploration, the history of astronomy, and the different kinds of astronomy that exist today. You can find out how stars are formed and how they die, take a detailed look at all the planets in our solar system and learn about the history of the space race.

You can also take a trip to the Star Dome, which shows what you can see in the night sky from anywhere in the world on any date. Then, when darkness falls, pop outside your own house to see what you can see with binoculars, telescope, or the naked eye.The Eyewitness Encyclopedia of Space and the Universe is packed with information, and presented in the usual Dorling Kindersley easy to use style. It is ideal for any budding astronomer

Encyclopedia of Forensic Sciences

Jay A. Siegel, Geoffrey C. Knupfer, Pekka J. Saukko, "Encyclopedia of Forensic Sciences", Elsevier | 2000 Year | ISBN: 0122272153 | PDF | ~75 Mb | 1600Pages


“ The Encyclopedia of Forensic Sciences is the first resource to provide comprehensive coverage of the core theories, methods, techniques, and applications employed by forensic scientists. One of the more pressing concerns in forensic science is the collection of evidence from the crime scene and its relevance to the forensic analysis carried out in the laboratory. The Encyclopedia will serve to inform both the crime scene worker and the laboratory worker of their protocols, procedures, and limitations. The more than 200 articles contained in the Encyclopedia form a repository of core information that will be of use to instructors, students, and professionals in the criminology, legal, and law enforcement communities.
