English periodicals history science science in literature

Index s.314-329

For the Victorian reading public, periodicals played a far greater role than books in shaping their understanding of new discoveries and theories in science, technology and medicine. Such understandings were formed not merely by serious scientific articles, but also by glancing asides in political reports, fictional representations, or humorous attacks in comic magazines. Ranging across diverse forms of periodicals, from top-selling religious and juvenile magazines through to popular fiction-based periodicals, and from the campaigning 'new journalism' of the late century to the comic satire of Punch, this book explores the ways in which scientific ideas and developments were presented to a variety of Victorian audiences. In addition, it offers three case studies of the representation of particular areas of science: 'baby science', scientific biography, and electricity. This intriguing collaborative volume sheds light on issues relating to history and history of science, literature, book history, and cultural and media studies.

reading language text science

Bibliogr. s. 119-126. Indeks.

This book presents a linguistic approach to teaching reading in different subjects; an approach that focuses on language itself. Central to this approach is a view that knowledge is constructed in and through language and that language changes with changes in knowledge. As students move from elementary to secondary schools, they encounter specialized knowledge and engage in new contexts of learning in all subjects. This means that the language of secondary school learning is quite different from the language of the elementary years. Students need to develop specialized literacies (literacy relevant to each content area) as well as a critical literacy they can use across subject areas to engage with, reflect on, and assess specialized and advanced knowledge. This functional language analysis approach is shown using actual secondary social studies, science, and math textbooks and using a literary text.

Index s. 234-237

The concept of culture, now such an important term within both the arts and the sciences, is a legacy of the nineteenth century. By closely analyzing writings by evolutionary scientists such as Charles Darwin, Alfred Russell Wallace, and Herbert Spencer, alongside those of literary figures including Wordsworth, Coleridge, Arnold, Butler, and Gosse, David Amigoni shows how the modern concept of 'culture' developed out of the interdisciplinary interactions between literature, philosophy, anthropology, colonialism, and, in particular, Darwin's theories of evolution. He goes on to explore the relationship between literature and evolutionary science by arguing that culture was seen less as a singular idea or concept, and more as a field of debate and conflict. This fascinating book includes much material on the history of evolutionary thought and its cultural impact, and will be of interest to scholars of intellectual and scientific history as well as of literature.

George Levine is one of the world's leading scholars of Victorian literature and culture. This collection of his essays develops the key themes of his work: the intersection of nineteenth-century British literature, culture and science and the relation of knowledge and truth to ethics. The essays offer perspectives on George Eliot, Thackeray, the Positivists, and the Scientific Naturalists, and reassess the complex relationship between Ruskin and Darwin. In readings of Lawrence and Coetzee, Levine addresses Victorian and modern efforts to push beyond the limits of realist art by testing its aesthetic and epistemological limits in engagement with the self and the other. Some of Levine's most important contributions to the field are reprinted, in revised and updated form, alongside previously unpublished material. Together, these essays cohere into an exploration both of Victorian literature and culture and of ethical, epistemological, and aesthetic problems fundamental to our own times.

Bibliografia s. 149-164, ined s. 165-170

How did people of the medieval period explain physical phenomena, such as eclipses or the distribution of land and water on the globe? What creatures did they think they might encounter: angels, devils, witches, dogheaded people? This fascinating book explores the ways in which medieval people categorized the world, concentrating on the division between the natural and the supernatural and showing how the idea of the supernatural came to be invented in the Middle Ages. Robert Bartlett examines how theologians and others sought to draw lines between the natural, the miraculous, the marvelous and the monstrous, and the many conceptual problems they encountered as they did so. The final chapter explores the extraordinary thought-world of Roger Bacon as a case study exemplifying these issues. By recovering the mentalities of medieval writers and thinkers the book raises the critical question of how we deal with beliefs we no longer share.

Bibliogr. s. 864-902. Indeks.

This absorbing narrative history brings into sharp and lively focus a period of immense energy, creativity, and turmoil. The book opens in 1886, as the Empire is poised to celebrate Victoria's golden jubilee, and ends in 1918 at the close of the 'war to end all wars', with England knowing that an era has conclusive ended. It vividly portrays every aspect of the nation's life - political, social and cultural - carrying the reader from the wretched city slums to the bustling docks and factories, from the grand portals of Westminster to blackpool's new holiday beach, from the world of the leisured aristocracy to the trenches of the Western Front and the violent politics of the militant suffrage movement.

Ubocznym skutkiem jego działania jest przemiana ludzi w wampiry, wobec których wojsko ma własne plany: nowy gatunek wydaje się doskonałą bronią biologiczną. Agent FBI Brad Wolgast otrzymuje zadanie: dostarczyć dwunastu czekających na egzekucję skazańców do eksperymentu wszczepienia wirusa.

Dziewięćdziesiąty siódmy rok po wybuchu epidemii. Wojska ekspedycyjne Republiki Teksasu od kilku lat bezskutecznie polują na Dwunastu - grupę skazańców zarażonych wirusem podczas projektu „Noe”. Po przechwyceniu sygnału jednego z nich, Martineza w jaskiniach rezerwatu Carlsbad, porucznicy Peter Jaxon i Alicia Donadio przeprowadzają nieudaną próbę jego likwidacji. Rozczarowane Dowództwo odwołuje operację, wysyłając Petera na Szlak Naftowy w celu ochrony konwojów z ropą. W rafinerii Freeport Peter spotyka dawnego przyjaciela, Michaela - który razem z nim opuścił Pierwszą Kolonię - oraz jego dziewczynę Lorę. Kilka dni później ochraniana przez nich kolumna cystern z paliwem zostaje zatrzymana przez nieznaną kobietę, a następnie zaatakowana przez oddział ludzi i wiroli. Po powrocie do bazy w Kerville Peter dowiaduje się, że Tifty Lamont, były oficer wojsk ekspedycyjnych, obecnie poszukiwany szef gangu, widział ją wiele lat temu podczas Masakry na Polu, gdy zabito i porwano wielu ludzi. Ostatnie wydarzenia na Szlaku Naftowym łączą się z innymi atakami na kolonie i bazy wojskowe, między innymi na bazę w Roswell, kiedy zaginęła bez wieści siostra Michaela, Sara.

Dystopia Powieść Science fiction

Słowo kluczowe

beletrystyka dystopia science fiction

"Nowy wspaniały świat" to jedna z najsłynniejszych antyutopii w literaturze XX wieku. Przedstawiona w powieści Huxleya wizja przyszłego społeczeństwa, które osiągnęło stan całkowitego zorganizowania i zrealizowało ideał powszechnej szczęśliwości, jest wizją przerażającą. W roku 2541 (czyli w 632 roku nowej „ery Forda”) obywatele Republiki świata powstają w rezultacie sztucznego zapłodnienia i klonowania. Od niemowlęcia poddawani są wszechstronnemu psychologicznemu i biologicznemu warunkowaniu - po to, by w wieku dojrzałym stać się cząstkami kastowej społeczności, złożonej z pozbawionych wyższych uczuć ludzkich automatów. Czy ten „wspaniały świat”, w którym dominuje seks, prymitywne rozrywki, narkotyk soma, jest tylko zrodzoną w wyobraźni pisarza fantasmagorią?.
