Has German culture contributed more to science than Greece?
It is difficult to compare the contributions of German culture to science with those of ancient Greece, as both have made significant impacts in different ways. Ancient Greece is often credited with laying the foundation for many scientific disciplines, such as mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. However, German culture has also made substantial contributions to science, particularly in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology. Both cultures have played crucial roles in advancing human knowledge and understanding of the natural world.

Schizophrenia : Science, Psychoanalysis, and Culture
Kevin Volkan and Vamik Volkan present a comprehensive study of schizophrenia using a psychoanalytic lens on the existing interdisciplinary research.Over the last seventy years, mainstream research on the causes, prevalence, and treatment of schizophrenia has greatly diverged from psychoanalytic thinking.However, the emergence of the field of neuropsychoanalysis brings hope that psychoanalytic metapsychology and clinical theory may once again provide valuable insight into understanding schizophrenia. Psychoanalytic treatment may not be appropriate for many sufferers but psychoanalysis does provide insight to inform and improve treatment.It can also illuminate what aspects of schizophrenia are common across cultures, where they present unique characteristics, and just how cultural variations occur.For any future improvement in understanding and treating schizophrenia, the cultural underpinnings and expressions of schizophrenic illness need to be made clear. For clinicians in the field, the authors’ aim is to deepen insight and promote the use of psychotherapy and integrated treatments, while increasing sensitivity to cultural variations in schizophrenic disease.Accordingly, this book is divided into four sections.The first gives a brief overview and outline of the mainstream understanding of schizophrenia.The second drills down to focus on general psychoanalytic ideas about schizophrenia, culminating with a focus on problems with early object relations.The third looks at how psychoanalytic treatment can be successful in some cases.The fourth and final part discusses how views of the disorder and the disorder itself are affected by culture. The authors hope to generate insight and understanding of schizophrenic disorders which could lead to new approaches to treating and possibly preventing schizophrenia.It is a must-read for all clinicians and trainees working in the field and presents interesting ideas to anyone with an interest in the subject.

Graphic Science : Seven Journeys of Discovery
Much is known about scientists such as Darwin, Newton, and Einstein, but what about lesser known scientists - people who have not achieved a high level of fame, but who have contributed greatly to human knowledge?What were their lives like? What were their struggles, aims, successes, and failures?How do their discoveries fit into the bigger picture of science as a whole?Overlooked, sidelined, excluded, discredited: key figures in scientific discovery come and take their bow in an alternative Nobel prize gallery. Antoine Lavoisier: the father of French chemistry who gave oxygen its name, Lavoisier was a wealthy man who found himself on the wrong side of a revolution and paid the price with his life. Mary Anning: a poor, working-class woman who made her living fossil-hunting along the beach cliffs of southern England.Anning found herself excluded from the scientific community because of her gender and social class.Wealthy, male, experts took credit for her discoveries. George Washington Carver: born a slave, Carver become one of the most prominent botanists of his time, as well as a teacher at the Tuskegee Institute.Carver devised over 100 products using one major ingredient - the peanut - including dyes, plastics and gasoline. Alfred Wegener: a German meteorologist, balloonist, and arctic explorer, his theory of continental drift was derided by other scientists and was only accepted into mainstream thinking after his death.He died in Greenland on an expedition, his body lost in the ice and snow. Nikola Tesla: a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.A competitor of Edison, Tesla died in poverty despite his intellectual brilliance. Jocelyn Bell Burnell: a Northern Irish astrophysicist.As a postgraduate student, she discovered the first radio pulsars (supernova remnants) while studying and advised by her thesis supervisor Antony Hewish, for which Hewish shared the Nobel Prize in physics while Bell Burnell was excluded. Fred Hoyle: an English astronomer noted primarily for the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis - the process whereby most of the elements on the Periodic Table are created.He was also noted for the controversial positions he held on a wide range of scientific issues, often in direct opposition to prevailing theories.This eccentric approach contributed to him to being overlooked by the Nobel Prize committee for his stellar nucleosynthesis work. Any one of these figures could have been awarded a Nobel prize.Not every scientific discoverer was lauded in their time, for reasons of gender, race, or lack of wealth, or (in the case of Lavoisier) being too wealthy: in the 21st century, there are many more reparations and reputations to be made.

Forensic Science in Contemporary American Popular Culture : Gender, Crime, and Science
This book identifies, traces, and interrogates contemporary American culture's fascination with forensic science.It looks to the many different sites, genres, and media where the forensic has become a cultural commonplace.It turns firstly to the most visible spaces where forensic science has captured the collective imagination: crime films and television programs.In contemporary screen culture, crime is increasingly framed as an area of scientific inquiry and, even more frequently, as an area of concern for female experts.One of the central concerns of this book is the gendered nature of expert scientific knowledge, as embodied by the ubiquitous character of the female investigator.Steenberg argues that our fascination with the forensic depends on our equal fascination with (and suspicion of) women's bodies—with the bodies of the women investigating and with the bodies of the mostly female victims under investigation.
