Observing by Hand by Omar W. Nasim Pdf

Today we are all familiar with the iconic pictures of the nebulae produced by the Hubble Space Telescope’s digital cameras. But there was a time, before the successful application of photography to the heavens, in which scientists had to rely on handmade drawings of these mysterious phenomena. Observing by Hand sheds entirely new light on the ways in which the production and reception of handdrawn images of the nebulae in the nineteenth century contributed to astronomical observation. Omar W. Nasim investigates hundreds of unpublished observing books and paper records from six nineteenth-century observers of the nebulae: Sir John Herschel; William Parsons, the third Earl of Rosse; William Lassell; Ebenezer Porter Mason; Ernst Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel; and George Phillips Bond. Nasim focuses on the ways in which these observers created and employed their drawings in data-driven procedures, from their choices of artistic materials and techniques to their practices and scientific observation. He examines the ways in which the act of drawing complemented the acts of seeing and knowing, as well as the ways that making pictures was connected to the production of scientific knowledge. An impeccably researched, carefully crafted, and beautifully illustrated piece of historical work, Observing by Hand will delight historians of science, art, and the book, as well as astronomers and philosophers.

Observing by Hand by Elijah Joshua Pdf

Arguments over the nature of nebulae arose from publications presenting results that came from different telescopes taken with different observing techniques.Elijah takes readers back to the source material--the observing notebooks upon which the publications were based. He argues that the act of drawing complements the acts of seeing and knowing, and that the use of various materials and methods (including observing notes) affected the astronomers' conclusions about the nature of the objects they observed. This brilliant analysis questions the relation between observing and communicating. The publisher uses high-quality paper for excellent reproduction of the copious illustrations.

Observing Nonverbal Behavior by Sandeep Atre Pdf

"Words express thoughts…Body expresses emotions"! Well! Every interaction in civilized world is multilayered. You have to constantly play the guessing-game for intents and motives – "Does he really mean what he says"? "Does she really feel how she emotes"? "Does he really believe in how he acts"? This makes observing nonverbal behavior immensely important, as that is what helps you develop an understanding into people's emotional realities. "Observing Nonverbal Behavior – An exhaustive guide to the essential skill of 'Social Intelligence'", with more than 200 photographs and reader-friendly style, rises way above run-of-the-mill ‘How to’ books on body-language and delineates the science behind the subject while simplifying it for utility.

Observing International Relations by Mathias Albert,Lena Hilkermeier Pdf

Observing International Relations draws upon the modern systems theory of society, developed by Niklas Luhmann, to provide new perspectives on central aspects of contemporary world society and to generate theoretically informed insights on the possibilities and limits of regulation in global governance. The authors develop a Luhmannian theory of world society by contrasting it with competing notions of international society, critically discussing the use of modern systems theory in international relations theory and assessing its treatment of central concepts within international relations, such as power, sovereignty, governance and war.

Observing Conflict Escalation in World Society by Richard Bösch Pdf

How do conflicts escalate? This is one of the major questions in conflict research. To offer further answers, Richard Bösch follows a tripartite agenda: First, he develops a constructivist methodology for the study of conflict escalation embedded in a Luhmannian systems theoretical world society perspective. Bösch argues that conflicts can be observed as social systems and he looks at the process of conflict escalation by analysing communication. Second, this analysis offers two case studies: the Maidan protests in Ukraine 2013-2014 and Mali's crisis 2010-2012. Third, it gives insights on how systems theoretical research can be beneficial for Peace and Conflict Studies.

Observing and Recording the Behavior of Young Children by Dorothy H. Cohen,Virginia Stern,Nancy Balaban,Nancy Gropper Pdf

In the Sixth Edition of their classic text, the authors reiterate the critical importance of observing and recording the behavior of young children, especially in the current atmosphere of accountability and testing. In addition, because children with special needs are now widely included in a majority of early childhood classrooms, they have completely rewritten a chapter to focus more broadly on observing behaviors that may be viewed as disquieting. Designed to help teachers better understand children’s behavior, the book outlines methods for recordkeeping that provide a realistic picture of each child’s interactions and experiences in the classroom. Numerous examples of teachers’ observations of children from birth to age 8 enrich this work and make it accessible, practical, and enjoyable to read. With more than 130,000 copies in print, this valuable resource for pre- and inservice educators features: Fresh information about how children think and learn, how their language develops, and how their families, their culture, and their environment influence and help to shape them. Observations that reflect the increasingly diverse population in contemporary early childhood classrooms. The imperative for teachers to widen their lens in order to meet the needs of young children with a range of developmental capacities, abilities, and behaviors. “Responds to new knowledge about how children think, learn and develop language, and about the influences of families, culture, and other environmental influences.” —Zero to Three (previous edition)
