Goethe's Science of Living Form The Artistic Stages
Goethe's Science of Living Form: The Artistic Stages By Nigel Hoffmann
2007 | 174 Pages | ISBN: 0932776353 | PDF | 6 MB
In this groundbreaking book, Nigel Hoffmann shows that understanding the dynamic, living qualities of nature requires artistic capacities. He distinguishes four stages of scientific inquiry that correspond to the four classical elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. Modern analytical science with its causal thinking can be characterized as an Earth mode of cognition. A dynamic approach that follows transformation over time requires a sculptural sense of form and corresponds to the element of Water. The stages of Air and Fire engage yet more vital aspects of nature through musical and poetic capacities.Combining scholarly-scientific acuity with artistic insight, Hoffmann first characterizes these four different ways of knowing. He then applies them, leading us ever more deeply into the dynamic qualities of specific plants, animals, and the landscape they live in. In doing so, he demonstrates how this four-step methodology provides a comprehensive framework for the life sciences.This beautifully illustrated book will appeal to all who are interested in gaining deeper insights into nature."I put my hopes for the future in such practice because it plants seeds of a life-attuned thinking into the world that can help us to act in more life-engendering ways." ―Craig Holdrege (in his foreword)Contents:Art and the Emergence of an Authentic Organic ScienceGoethe and the Phenomenological MethodToward an Authentic Method in the Life SciencesA Goethean Methodology through the Elemental ModesEarth Cognition―Physical Thinking―the MechanicalWater Cognition ― Imagination ― the SculpturalAir Cognition ― Inspiration ― the MusicalFire Cognition ― Intuition ― the PoeticalEvolution as Creative ProcessThe Landscape and its OrgansThe Human Being and the Evolution of LandscapeThe Yabby Ponds: A Goethean Study of Place

Decision makers, such as government officials, need to better understand human activity in order to make informed decisions. With the ability to measure and explore geographic space through the use of geospatial intelligence data sources including imagery and mapping data, they are better able to measure factors affecting the human population. As a broad field of study, geospatial research has applications in a variety of fields including military science, environmental science, civil engineering, and space exploration. Geospatial Intelligence: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications explores multidisciplinary applications of geographic information systems to describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and to gather data, information, and knowledge regarding human activity. Highlighting a range of topics such as geovisualization, spatial analysis, and landscape mapping, this multi-volume book is ideally designed for data scientists, engineers, government agencies, researchers, and graduate-level students in GIS programs.

Geopolymer and Geopolymer Matrix Composites
Geopolymer and Geopolymer Matrix Composites by Dechang Jia
English | EPUB | 2020 | 319 Paes | ISBN : 9811595356 | 135.1 MB
This book investigates geopolymers and geopolymer-based composites, with a focus on their preparation, geopolymerization mechanisms, microstructures, mechanical properties, and fracture behaviors. Geopolymers are inorganic materials consisting of tetrahedral units (such as SiO4 and AlO4) linked by shared oxygens and forming long-range, covalently bonded and amorphous frameworks. Geopolymers have the advantages of low-temperature preparation, low cost, high heat and corrosion resistivity, and being environmentally friendly. Using the preparation methods for epoxy-based composite, they can easily be formed into complex shapes or structures.

Fiscal Federalism in Multinational States Autonomy, Equality, and Diversity
Fiscal Federalism in Multinational States: Autonomy, Equality, and Diversity
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0228006090 | 301 Pages | PDF (True) | 12 MB
Substate nationalism is often studied as a question of political identity and cultural recognition. The same applies to the study of multinational federalism - it is mainly conceived as a tool for the accommodation of minority cultures and identities. Few works in political philosophy and political science pay attention to the fiscal and redistributive dimensions of substate nationalism and multinational federalism. Yet nationalist movements in Western countries make crucial claims about fiscal autonomy and the fair distribution of resources between national groups within the same state.
