  4. "[#Science] is not universal, and it is not the voice of a displaced God called Nature. The sciences are therefore obliged to argue their case rather than to claim that it is beneath their dignity as sciences to enter into vulgar contests of opinion. They must stake their claim in the political arena and reveal the grounds on which their claim rests. These grounds, according to Latour, are persuasive and compelling but they are not beyond argument."

  7. "Medicine counts in years of life expectancy. Ecology defends life on earth. In all cases, life is a palpable, measurable and manageable entity – a unit of value. a unit of administration, a unit of political power. Life had been abstracted from persons... The word person describes a unique, storied and bounded destiny; a life is an amorphous instance of something unimaginably general and impossibly indistinct – the ultimate resource."

  8. "[Ivan] Illich was not invoking these old meanings but pointing to something radically new – a system so total and comprehensive that there could be no ground or standpoint outside it. The very idea of a tool or an instrumental means, he argued, depended on a distinction between that tool and its user. A system in the contemporary sense incorporates its user – he/she becomes part of the system. One uses a hammer but joins a network."

  11. Πόσο ζυγίζουν τα σύννεφα - David Calle (τίτλος πρωτότυπου: ¿Cuánto pesan las nubes?)
    Βιβλίο επιστημονικού περιεχομένου αλλά γραμμένο σε γλώσσα και με τρόπο που να μπορούν να το διαβάσουν παιδιά σχολείου αλλά και ενήλικα άτομα που μπορεί να μην είχαν απαραίτητα προηγούμενη επαφή με την επιστήμη.
    Το πήρα για δώρο στ'ανίψια μου αλλά πρόλαβα να διαβάσω λιγάκι κι εγώ
    😀 και ήταν όντως καλό. Γενικά από τις Πανεπιστημιακές Εκδόσεις Κρήτης έχω δει κι άλλα ενδιαφέροντα βιβλία επιστημονικού περιεχομένου. Αν ψάχνετε για δώρο για μικρά και μεγάλα παιδιά που τους ενδιαφέρει η επιστήμη το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα.
    Ουσιαστικά είναι κυρίως ερωτήσεις (κι όχι μόνο) απαντημένες σύντομα με επιστημονικό και κατανοητό τρόπο.

  12. "[James] Lovelock, I continue to be believe, did discover something – about how our unstable atmosphere is stabilized, about how clouds are made, about how land creatures get the iodine they need, and, ultimately, about the kind of world that we live in – a world that makes itself and will in time re-make itself without us, should we render it uninhabitable for creatures like us."

  13. "Things that have no voice still speak. The ravaged wetland that once absorbed spring runoff speaks, often without anyone hearing, as a downstream flood. Microbial antibiotic resistance transforms agriculture and health care. But these matters have no political representation, so long as the sciences believe that their standing, authority and integrity rest on their having nothing to do with politics."

  16. 'Lovers in a Landscape'.

    c1760 AD Provincial #Mughal #Painting from #Lucknow #Awadh #India now at #DavidCollection

    Artist Mir Kalan Khan, like many other Mughal artists, worked in a style that appears quite electic. The young, indecisive couple who appear #Persian is being entertained by a more down to earth #Indian female musician.
    The trees look #European, in a strange yellow background.

    Nevertheless, the artist has managed to create a lively painting using Birds & Animals.
