Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 104 pages. A short, provocative book about why useless science often leads to humanity 's greatest technological breakthroughsA forty-year tightening of funding for scientific research has meant that resources are increasingly directed towa rd applied or practical outcomes, with the intent of creating products of immedi ate value. In such a scenario, it makes sense to focus on the most identifiable and urgent problems, right? Actually, it doesn't. In his classic essay The Usef ulness of Useless Knowledge, Abraham Flexner, the founding director of the Inst itute for Advanced Study in Princeton and the man who helped bring Albert Einste in to the United States, describes a great paradox of scientific research. The s earch for answers to deep questions, motivated solely by curiosity and without c oncern for applications, often leads not only to the greatest scientific discove ries but also to the most revolutionary technological breakthroughs. In short, n o quantum mechanics, no computer chips.This brief book includes Flexner's timeless 1939 essay alongside a new companion essay by Robbert Dijkgraaf, the I nstitute's current director, in which he shows that Flexner's defense of the val ue of the unobstructed pursuit of useless knowledge may be even more relevant today than it was in the early twentieth century. Dijkgraaf describes how basic research has led to major transformations in the past century and explains why i t is an essential precondition of innovation and the first step in social and cu ltural change. He makes the case that society can achieve deeper understanding a nd practical progress today and tomorrow only by truly valuing and substantially funding the curiosity-driven pursuit of useless knowledge in both the science.…

Condición: Good. 5th or later printing. De b?tacanon. Wat iedereen moet weten van de natuurwetenschappen. Het standaardwerk over de natuurwetenschap nu in cadeau-editie. In De b?tacanon komen vijftig kernbegrippen uit de natuurwetenschappen aan de orde, vari?rend van het getal nul tot ecologie, van evolutie tot plastics, van Einstein tot de koolzuurcyclus, van formules tot de oerknal. In korte opstellen, die in de bijlage 'Kennis' van de Volkskrant verschenen, leiden vijftig jonge Nederlandse onderzoekers de lezer telkens mee naar een kernachtig antwoord op de vraag wat hij van een bepaald onderwerp moet onthouden en waarom. De keuze van de kernbegrippen lag in handen van de commissie-Dijkgraaf. 'Boeiend en goed leesbaar, ook voor alfa's.' Hoogeveensche Courant 'Een fraai boek.' De ingenieur 'Erg knap om deze moeilijke begrippen zo beknopt uit te leggen.' Het Parool De commissie-Dijkgraaf bestaat uit Louise Fresco, Salomon Kroonenberg, Frans van Lunteren, Bas Haring, Harry Lintsen, Sander Bais en Robbert Dijkgraaf.
