Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1887, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) was originally founded as the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt (PTR) in Berlin in order to promote basic research in physics. It subsequently developed into the largest research center worldwide as a place where scientists could concentrate exclusively on their research subject, and served as a model for similar institutes established in other countries. Within a very short time, the PTR produced extremely important scientific results that cemented its international position at the top, such as Max Planck's radiation law and energy quantization theory as well as Walther Meissner's discovery of the Meissner effect which represented a turning point in the field of superconductivity. This book describes the scientific and industrial milieu of the time, and explains in detail the role of the key people, including Albert Einstein's involvement with the PTR. A brief discussion on how the PTR was affected by the Nazi dictatorship in Germany is also given. On the special occasion of the 125th anniversary in 2012 of the PTB and its predecessor PTR, this second edition is presented (in CD) with a new chapter on the current impact of quantum standards.

Keywords:Planck's Radiation Law;Meissner Effect;Geiger Counter;Coincidence Technique;Nuclear Fission;Liquid Helium;Radioactivity;RheniumKey Features:Recalls the extremely fruitful scientific period in Berlin during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, connected with names such as Planck, von Helmholtz, Siemens, Rubens, Lummer, Kurlbaum, Wien, Paschen, Nernst, von Laue, Einstein, Meissner, Geiger, Bothe, Kolhörster, Noddack, Kohlrausch, and WarburgIncludes 45 illustrationsReviews: “Presenting a great institution, or indeed expounding a great scientific theme in this way, is indeed a very valuable approach to foster the history of a field, at least when the expected readership, such as the one of the present book, is composed mostly of professionals of the discipline ... The book by Huebener and Lübbig is an enjoyable read and the authors have indeed succeeded in achieving their promise.” IL Nuovo Saggiatore “This is a very interesting book. The book provides a very enjoyable reading experience. I highly recommend it to everyone who is active in science and to readers who are interested in its development.”Prof. Dr. Vladimir Kresin Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory University of California, Berkeley Reviews of the First Edition: “With the use of many original documents the authors create a very lively picture of the highly scientific and pioneering climate at PTR which actually takes the reader back to this fascinating area.” Professor Dr Ernst O Göbel President of Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt “This book is primarily interesting because it is also a history of much of 20th-century physics, since much of this was developed by people closely tied to Physikalisch-Technishe Reichsanstalt.” Choice “It offers a useful overview of the fate of the PTR after 1919, and suggests that a sequel to Cahan's study of the Reichsanstalt's earlier development would be well worth undertaking.” ISIS

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers selected papers exploring issues arising from scientific discovery in the social sciences. It features a range of disciplines including behavioural sciences, computer science, finance, and statistics with an emphasis on philosophy. The first of the three parts examines methods of social scientific discovery. Chapters investigate the nature of causal analysis, philosophical issues around scale development in behavioural science research, imagination in social scientific practice, and relationships between paradigms of inquiry and scientific fraud. The next part considers the practice of social science discovery. Chapters discuss the lack of genuine scientific discovery in finance where hypotheses concern the cheapness of securities, the logic of scientific discovery in macroeconomics, and the nature of that what discovery with the Solidarity movement as a case study. The final part covers formalising theories in social science. Chapters analyse the abstract model theory of institutions as a way of representing the structure of scientific theories, the semi-automatic generation of cognitive science theories, and computational process models in the social sciences. The volume offers a unique perspective on scientific discovery in the social sciences. It will engage scholars and students with a multidisciplinary interest in the philosophy of science and social science.
