PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-The Human Condition: Reality, Science and History

Evolution has produced an incomplete miracle Homo a species that can love think remember talk gain insight into reality plan for the future and produce amazing scientific knowledge and art Unfortunately Homo still suffers from dismal weaknesses and is not yet wise enough to protect its species from ultimate demiseTo become wiser humanity cannot count on natural selection or a revolution Social and political institutions depend on a system of education that is imperfect Economic development while remarkable is neither steady nor equitable Technological development is often blind and burdened with unintended consequences History is chaotic at both the national and international levels Representative democracy the best system of government we have invented is fragile vulnerable and often subject to paralysisWe need a deliberate plan of action that builds on our intellectual and cultural heritages from philosophers natural and social scientists historians educators and the ideas of contemporary writers The Human Condition proposes key elements of such a plan and how we may realize themHomo has much work left to become Sapiens.

Rajan Pondicherry University , Pondicherry Seeking to reenergize Americans\' passion for the space program, the value of further exploration of the Moon, and the importance of human beings on the final frontier, Claude A. Piantadosi presents a rich history of American space exploration and its major achievements. He emphasizes the importance of reclaiming national command of our manned program and continuing our unmanned space missions, and he stresses the many adventures that still await us in the unfolding universe. Acknowledging space exploration\'s practical and financial obstacles, Piantadosi challenges us to revitalize American leadership in space exploration in order to reap its scientific bounty.Piantadosi explains why space exploration, a captivating story of ambition, invention, and discovery, is also increasingly difficult and why space experts always seem to disagree. He argues that the future of the space program requires merging the practicalities of exploration with the constraints of human biology. Space science deals with the unknown, and the margin (and budget) for error is small. Lethal near-vacuum conditions, deadly cosmic radiation, microgravity, vast distances, and highly scattered resources remain immense physical problems. To forge ahead, America needs to develop affordable space transportation and flexible exploration strategies based in sound science. Piantadosi closes with suggestions for accomplishing these goals, combining his healthy skepticism as a scientist with an unshakable belief in space\'s untapped--and wholly worthwhile--potential.
