The Search for Ultralight Bosonic Dark Matter

To set the stage for our study of ultralight bosonic dark matter (UBDM), we review the evidence for the existence of dark matter: galactic and stellar dynamics, gravitational lensing studies, measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), surveys of the large-scale structure of the universe, and the observed abundance of light elements. This diverse array of observational …

Framing Global Mathematics

Recalling the century which preceded the founding of all the big international scientific unions which are still going strong today is more than a chore that one has to get out of the way before moving on to the real story; it is the only way to understand what these international unions could be in the first place, at the time of their creation, and how they could develop thereafter. The n…

Working, Housing: Urbanizing

This book presents an incisive outline of the historical development and geography of cities. It focuses on three themes that constitute essential foundations for any understanding of urban form and function. These are: (a) the shifting patterns of urbanization through historical time, (b) the role of cities as centers of production and work in a globalizing world, and (c) the diverse housing …

The Search for Ultralight Bosonic Dark Matter

A host of astrophysical measurements suggest that most of the matter in the Universe is an invisible, nonluminous substance that physicists call “dark matter.” Understanding the nature of dark matter is one of the greatest challenges of modern physics and is of paramount importance to our theories of cosmology and particle physics. This text explores one of the leading hypotheses to explain…

The genealogy of a gene :patents, HIV/AIDS, and race

In The Genealogy of a Gene, Myles Jackson uses the story of the CCR5 gene to investigate the interrelationships among science, technology, and society. Mapping the varied "genealogy" of CCR5 -- intellectual property, natural selection, Big and Small Pharma, human diversity studies, personalized medicine, ancestry studies, and race and genomics -- Jackson links a myriad of diverse topics. The hi…

Spectrum of belief; Joseph von Fraunhofer and the Craft of Precision Optics

"Pada abad kesembilan belas, praktik ilmiah mengalami transformasi dramatis dari usaha pribadi menjadi usaha bisnis. Dalam Spectrum of Belief, Myles Jackson menggunakan karier ahli optik Joseph von Fraunhofer (1787-1826) untuk menyelidiki hubungan antara sains dan masyarakat, dan hubungan antara pengrajin dan filsuf alam eksperimental, selama transformasi ini."
