Laboratory Guide of Industrial Chemistry (Classic Reprint)
Author: Allen Rogers
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780267873838
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Excerpt from Laboratory Guide of Industrial Chemistry IN presenting this thoroughly revised edition, the author has endeavored to make the laboratory experiments touch more closely upon present-day problems than was possible in the first edition. It has been the aim to treat the subject in such a manner that the processes described for applica tion on a small scale can also be adopted to the larger commercial basis. Thus, in many instances, it will be noticed that the methods are those in common use at the present time, and, Whenever possible, actual factory prac tice has been followed. The object, therefore, is to acquaint. The student of chemistry with actual commercial problems by bringing to his experience practical methods of hand ling materials on a large scale; the care and use of machinery; the cost of raw materials; transportation; wage system; the handling of men; and shop discipline. This idea is being carried out at Pratt Institute through a foremanship system of instruction, in which groups of students are assigned to work in model plants, one member of each group acting as foreman. The foreman is held responsible for the quality as well as the quantity of the output of his plant, must see that the machinery is left in perfect condition, and that the factory is kept clean.

Science, the Endless Frontier
Author: Vannevar Bush
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 069120165X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
The classic case for why government must support science—with a new essay by physicist and former congressman Rush Holt on what democracy needs from science today Science, the Endless Frontier is recognized as the landmark argument for the essential role of science in society and government’s responsibility to support scientific endeavors. First issued when Vannevar Bush was the director of the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during the Second World War, this classic remains vital in making the case that scientific progress is necessary to a nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Bush’s vision set the course for US science policy for more than half a century, building the world’s most productive scientific enterprise. Today, amid a changing funding landscape and challenges to science’s very credibility, Science, the Endless Frontier resonates as a powerful reminder that scientific progress and public well-being alike depend on the successful symbiosis between science and government. This timely new edition presents this iconic text alongside a new companion essay from scientist and former congressman Rush Holt, who offers a brief introduction and consideration of what society needs most from science now. Reflecting on the report’s legacy and relevance along with its limitations, Holt contends that the public’s ability to cope with today’s issues—such as public health, the changing climate and environment, and challenging technologies in modern society—requires a more capacious understanding of what science can contribute. Holt considers how scientists should think of their obligation to society and what the public should demand from science, and he calls for a renewed understanding of science’s value for democracy and society at large. A touchstone for concerned citizens, scientists, and policymakers, Science, the Endless Frontier endures as a passionate articulation of the power and potential of science.
