Gespräche, Vorträge, Séancen: Transkriptionen und Kommentare (Veröffentlichungen des Instituts Wiener Kreis #31)
by Tim LethenThis book provides detailed transcriptions of two notebooks written by Kurt Gödel in Vienna in 1937/38 in the nearly forgotten Gabelsberger shorthand system. The first of these notebooks, simply entitled as the Protokoll-book, contains notes on conversations Gödel had with people like Rudolf Carnap, Rose Rand, Friedrich Waismann, Else Frenkel-Brunswik, and many others who were—at least to some degree—connected to the Vienna Circle. It also covers detailed descriptions of the regular meetings organized by Edgar Zilsel. The second notebook includes notes on a series of lectures given at the Vienna Psychological Institute, which was led by Karl Bühler at the time. Both notebooks are part of Gödel’s huge Nachlass kept at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, which consists of literally thousands of stenographic pages covering logic and the foundations of mathematics, philosophy, physics, and theology. The now transcribed and commented notes reveal a very personal side of Gödel which has—to a large extent—been unknown to a mainly scientific-oriented audience. The book is of interest to people wanting to learn about Gödel’s personal background in Vienna in the late 1930s as well as his keen interest in philosophy, psychology, and parapsychology.

Gesundheit und Krankheit vor und nach Paracelsus
by Christoph StrosetzkiBedeutend ist Theophrast von Hohenheim (ca. 1493/4–1541), genannt Paracelsus, vor allem durch sein Aufbegehren gegen die klassischen antiken und arabisch-mittelalterlichen Autoritäten in der Medizin. Grundlage sollen nicht mehr die überlieferten Schriften, sondern experientia, experimenta und ratio sein. Von dieser Basis soll künftig ausgegangen werden, was Paracelsus auch dadurch unterstreicht, dass er seine Schriften in deutscher Sprache veröffentlicht. Indem er sich gegen die dogmatische Auslegung antiker Texte wandte, wollte er die Ära Galens beenden. Die Chirurgie wollte er auf universitären Rang erheben. Nach Paracelsus ist es die Natur, die heilt, wobei der Arzt nur Helfer ist. Wenn er Gesundheit als harmonische Ordnung im organischen Ablauf definiert, dann ist er bestrebt, Makrokosmos und Mikrokosmos, Diesseits und Jenseits, in Einklang zu bringen. Die Welt ist für ihn kein Nebeneinander isolierter Elemente, sondern eine Einheit. Auch beim Menschen erscheint ihm Sinnliches und Seelisches aufeinander bezogen. Archeus nennt er ein immaterielles Prinzip, in dem er den Träger der belebenden Kraft in der Natur und im Menschen, also im Makrokosmos wie im Mikrokosmos, festmacht. Im Sinne der Renaissance sieht er den Menschen als Mittelpunkt des Kosmos und seine Aufgabe im Erkennen der Welt.

Getting Inside Your Head: What Cognitive Science Can Tell Us about Popular Culture
by Lisa ZunshineUsing the psychological concept called theory of mind, Lisa Zunshine explores the appeal of movies, novels, paintings, musicals, and reality television.Winner of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title of the Choice ACRLWe live in other people's heads: avidly, reluctantly, consciously, unaware, mistakenly, and inescapably. Our social life is a constant negotiation among what we think we know about each other's thoughts and feelings, what we want each other to think we know, and what we would dearly love to know but don't.Cognitive scientists have a special term for the evolved cognitive adaptation that makes us attribute mental states to other people through observation of their body language; they call it theory of mind. Getting Inside Your Head uses research in theory of mind to look at movies, musicals, novels, classic Chinese opera, stand-up comedy, mock-documentaries, photography, and reality television. It follows Pride and Prejudice’s Mr. Darcy as he tries to conceal his anger, Tyler Durden as he lectures a stranger at gunpoint in Fight Club, and Ingrid Bergman as she fakes interest in horse races in Notorious.This engaging book exemplifies the new interdisciplinary field of cognitive cultural studies, demonstrating that collaboration between cognitive science and cultural studies is both exciting and productive.
Getting It Right in Science and Medicine
by Hans R. KricheldorfThis book advocates the importance and value of errors for the progress of scientific research! Hans Kricheldorf explains that most of the great scientific achievements are based on an iterative process (an 'innate self-healing mechanism'): errors are committed, being checked over and over again, through which finally new findings and knowledge can arise. New ideas are often first confronted with refusal. This is so not only in real life, but also in scientific and medical research. The author outlines in this book how great ideas had to ripen over time before winning recognition and being accepted. The book showcases in an entertaining way, but without schadenfreude, that even some of the most famous discoverers may appear in completely different light, when regarding errors they have committed in their work. This book is divided into two parts. The first part creates a fundament for the discussion and understanding by introducing important concepts, terms and definitions, such as (natural) sciences and scientific research, laws of nature, paradigm shift, and progress (in science). It compares natural sciences with other scientific disciplines, such as historical research or sociology, and examines the question if scientific research can generate knowledge of permanent validity. The second part contains a collection of famous fallacies and errors from medicine, biology, chemistry, physics and geology, and how they were corrected. Readers will be astonished and intrigued what meanders had to be explored in some cases before scientists realized facts, which are today's standard and state-of-the-art of science and technology. This is an entertaining and amusing, but also highly informative book not only for scientists and specialists, but for everybody interested in science, research, their progress, and their history!
Getting Published in the Life Sciences

Getting Started in Quantum Optics (Undergraduate Texts in Physics)
by Ray LaPierreThis book, based on classroom-tested lecture notes, provides a self-contained one semester undergraduate course on quantum optics, accessible to students (and other readers) who have completed an introductory quantum mechanics course and are familiar with Dirac notation and the concept of entanglement. The book covers canonical quantization, the harmonic oscillator, vacuum fluctuations, Fock states, the single photon state, quantum optical treatment of the beam splitter and the interferometer, multimode quantized light, and coherent and incoherent states. Metrology is a particular area of emphasis, with the book culminating in a treatment of squeezed light and its use in the laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory (LIGO). The Heisenberg limit is described, along with NOON states and their application in super-sensitivity, super-resolution and quantum lithography. Applications of entanglement and coincidence measurements are described including ghost imaging, quantum illumination, absolute photodetector calibration, and interaction-free measurement. With quantum optics playing a central role in the so-called “second quantum revolution,” this book, equipped with plenty of exercises and worked examples, will leave students well prepared to enter graduate study or industry.
