Sinopsis

In "A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities," Pierre Simon Laplace meticulously explores the foundations and applications of probability theory, establishing it as a crucial component of mathematical and philosophical inquiry. Written in the late 18th century, the essay combines analytical rigor with an accessible style, effectively bridging the gap between abstract mathematical principles and practical implications in various domains, including science, risk assessment, and decision-making. Laplace'Äôs work is contextualized within the Enlightenment, reflecting the era's intellectual fervor for reason and empirical evidence, while also addressing the uncertainty that pervades human knowledge. Pierre Simon marquis de Laplace, a pivotal figure in the development of modern statistics and celestial mechanics, was profoundly influenced by the scientific advancements of his time. His extensive background in astronomy and mathematics, coupled with his position in the burgeoning field of probabilistic reasoning, led him to articulate the significance of this discipline in understanding natural phenomena. Laplace's keen insights into chance and determinism resonate throughout the text, revealing a thinker deeply engaged with the complexities of the universe and human thought. This seminal work is a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts alike who seek to comprehend the philosophical underpinnings of probability. Laplace's essay not only provides a clear exposition of mathematical concepts but also invites reflection on the nature of belief and knowledge in the face of uncertainty, making it an essential text for anyone interested in the interplay between mathematics and philosophy.

    The late twentieth century saw charities grow from timid service deliverers into major providers with campaigning teeth. What caused this? How did they gain confidence and strength? In this fascinating history, examined through the eyes of RNIB from 1970 to 2010, Ian Bruce examines the internal drivers and the external socio-political environment that allowed and encouraged this explosion. Bruce’s experience of leading a charity at the forefront of this change, and his participation in the wider charity sector for fifty years as both activist and academic, gives him an unsurpassed understanding of what happened and why. His first-hand knowledge will speak to charity workers as well as academics, covering themes such as the rise of beneficiary power against patronising providers; the change from welfare to rights; the shift from the medical to the social model of disability; and the adoption of social welfare and business professionalisms such as Strategic Planning and Charity Marketing. Today’s charities have much to learn from the successes and mistakes of this dynamic period.

    Audiology is the branch of science that focuses on the study of sound, hearing, and balance. It is a multifaceted field that encompasses the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of various auditory and vestibular disorders. The role of audiologists is essential in identifying hearing impairments, providing interventions, and promoting overall ear health, which plays a vital part in communication and quality of life. 
    Sound, in its simplest form, is the vibration of molecules in the air that travel as waves to our ears. As one of the primary ways humans perceive the world around them, hearing is not only crucial for communication but also for safety, socialization, and enjoyment. Audiologists specialize in understanding these complex processes and the challenges that arise when they are impaired. Their work involves not only diagnosing hearing loss but also managing conditions related to balance and the inner ear, both of which are intricately linked. 
    The study of audiology dates back to the early 20th century, with significant advancements made throughout the decades in both technology and methodology. Today, audiology has grown into a highly specialized field that includes a range of services, from basic hearing tests to advanced procedures like cochlear implants and balance rehabilitation. Audiologists employ a variety of diagnostic tools, including audiometers, tympanometers, and specialized tests, to evaluate hearing and vestibular function. These assessments are critical in identifying the specific nature of auditory or balance problems, which can stem from a range of causes such as aging, genetics, illness, injury, or environmental factors.
