Science & Education - Essays

Thomas Henry Huxley

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Science & Education," Thomas Henry Huxley passionately advocates for the integration of scientific inquiry into educational practices, emphasizing the importance of a curriculum grounded in empirical evidence and critical thinking. Written with clarity and precision, Huxley navigates the dichotomy between scientific knowledge and traditional education, advocating for a model that embraces a progressive approach to learning. His work emerges from the context of the late 19th century—a time when the scientific method began to influence broader intellectual discourse, and Huxley's rhetoric eloquently reflects the tension between religious dogma and emerging empiricism. Huxley, often called "Darwin's Bulldog" for his vigorous defense of Darwinian evolution, was a prominent biologist and educator whose work shaped the foundations of modern science education. His own struggle with Victorian educational norms and his commitment to instilling scientific literacy in society, especially for the young, underscored his motivations for writing this seminal text. His broad understanding of biology, coupled with his belief in rational thought and skepticism, informs every page of this work. "Science & Education" is essential reading for educators, scientists, and anyone invested in the cultivation of a scientifically literate society. Huxley's insights remain strikingly relevant as they encourage readers to reconsider the role of education in fostering critical thinking and understanding of the natural world. This book not only reflects Huxley's vision but also challenges us to prioritize scientific education in an era where misinformation can proliferate.

Key to the City - How Zoning...

Sara C. Bronin

In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. 
 
 
 
With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.

Electronic commerce and digital...

Júlio César Parente Patrocínio

THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT HAS NO BOUNDARIES. A new business model, product or technological service emerges all the time. Along with the facilitation and solutions brought by technological development, new problems, conflicts and litigation in social and economic relations also arise. Laws of several countries are not often able to keep up with the digital dynamism. Furthermore, there is not a consensus in international trade organisations on the concept of digital services and electronic commerce.That is the scenario in which the European Union has constantly developed rules to regulate the digital environment, ensuring and combining legal security and standardisation of rules with the practical advantages of these new social and trade relations, stimulating innovation and economic growth. While the WTO and the OECD have not reached a consensus on this matter, the EU has been influencing rules around the world and adding chapters on electronic commerce to its deep integration trade agreements with third countries.The book analyses EU regulations regarding the online environment such as personal data protection, electronic commerce, electronic contract, electronic signature and identification, advertising, digital services, consumer rights, and taxation. It addresses several decisions made by the Court of Justice and national courts of the EU. The influence of the EU in Mercosur is demonstrated through the analysis of laws and jurisprudence of Mercosur countries.

Actionable Ethics (With a...

Daniel Natal

Actionable Ethics is part of a larger regimen of ethics training, for the company (but, more broadly-speaking, for life). What makes it different is the fact that it shares techniques gleaned from neuroscience on how to make moral behavior habitual. As Aristotle said, “Excellence is not an act, but a habit." Almost every other ethics book or course available addresses itself to the front of the brain (where executive function takes place). Actionable Ethics, by contrast, addresses itself to the back of the brain, where habit-formation occurs, to create positive behaviors, or, as Cicero put it thousands of years ago, a “second nature”. Go to actionableethics.com to find out more.
