Theory and Reality
Author: Peter Godfrey-Smith
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022677113X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
How does science work? Does it tell us what the world is “really” like? What makes it different from other ways of understanding the universe? In Theory and Reality, Peter Godfrey-Smith addresses these questions by taking the reader on a grand tour of more than a hundred years of debate about science. The result is a completely accessible introduction to the main themes of the philosophy of science. Examples and asides engage the beginning student, a glossary of terms explains key concepts, and suggestions for further reading are included at the end of each chapter. Like no other text in this field, Theory and Reality combines a survey of recent history of the philosophy of science with current key debates that any beginning scholar or critical reader can follow. The second edition is thoroughly updated and expanded by the author with a new chapter on truth, simplicity, and models in science.

Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
A watershed event in the field of sociology, this text introduced “a major breakthrough in the sociology of knowledge and sociological theory generally” (George Simpson, American Sociological Review). In this seminal book, Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann examine how knowledge forms and how it is preserved and altered within a society. Unlike earlier theorists and philosophers, Berger and Luckmann go beyond intellectual history and focus on commonsense, everyday knowledge—the proverbs, morals, values, and beliefs shared among ordinary people.

Concept to Reality
Author: Mukesh Kumar Madhup

ISBN: 1649838794
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
The idea of writing this book originated after recognition of my developmental work by Fast Company as a world-changing idea 2020 [honorable mention] in the energy category. This book is a small effort from my side to share my experience of developing various coating products and managing the new product programs from an idea to a real product. The purpose of writing this book is to help and support product developers, project managers and business owners in the creation of world class ideas and illustrate the process of converting them into a real life product which can be recognised as a great solution by customers and external bodies. The examples used throughout this book are related to my coating development experience, but I am sure this will help all product development professionals irrespective of their business domain. Dr. Mukesh Kumar Madhup has an excellent track record in coating development and innovation while working with various companies. This book, in which he has shared his experiences on creating and transforming an idea to a great product, might turn into a prodigious guidebook for professionals working in the ‘coatings’ and other such related fields.
