Over a decade later.Higher Education and Democracy is a collection of essays written over the last ten years on how civic engagement in higher education works to achieve what authors John Saltmarsh and Edward Zlotkowsi consider to be the academic and civic purposes of higher education. These include creating new modes of teaching and learning, fostering participation in American democracy, the development and respect for community and civic institutions, and encouraging the constant renewal all of these dimensions of American life.Organized chronologically, the twenty-two essays in this vEducation, HigherSocial aspectsEducation, HigherPolitical aspectsDemocracy and educationEducation and statePolitical participationEducation, HigherSocial aspects.Education, HigherPolitical aspects.Democracy and education.Education and state.Political participation.378/.015Saltmarsh John A.1957-1808436Zlotkowski Edward A.1944-1808437MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968302703321Higher education and democracy4358671UNINA03616nam 22006615 450 991072838650332120251008153740.09783031298851(electronic bk.)978303129884410.1007/978-3-031-29885-1(MiAaPQ)EBC30552987(Au-PeEL)EBL30552987(OCoLC)1381361461(DE-He213)978-3-031-29885-1(BIP)089067410(PPN)270615849(CKB)26784783200041(EXLCZ)992678478320004120230526d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCosmography in the Age of Discovery and the Scientific Revolution /by David Barrado Navascués1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2023.1 online resource (381 pages)Historical & Cultural Astronomy,2509-3118Print version: Barrado Navascués, David Cosmography in the Age of Discovery and the Scientific Revolution Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031298844 Chapter 1.

THE NEW ASTRONOMY AT THE DAWN OF THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION -- Chapter 4. THE MEASURE OF LONGITUDE: FROM IBERIA TO ALBION -- Chapter 5. THE SHAPE OF THE EARTH AND GEOGRAPHICAL EXPLORATION.This book tells the comprehensive history of cosmography from the 15th Century Age of Discovery onward. During this time, cosmography—a science that combined geography and astronomy to inform us about our place in the universe—was deeply tied to ongoing developments in politics, exploration, culture, and technology. The book offers in-depth historical context over nearly four centuries, focusing in particular on the often neglected role that Portugal and Spain played in the development of cosmography. It details the great activity emerging from the Iberian and Italic peninsulas, including numerous voyagers of exploration, a clear commercial intention, and advancements in map-making techniques. In doing so, it provides a unique perspective on the “Longitude problem” not available in most other literature on the topic. Rigorously researched and sweeping in scope, this book will serve as an invaluable source for historians and readers interested in the history of science, of astronomy, and of exploration from a southern European perspective.Historical & Cultural Astronomy,2509-3118PhysicsHistoryAstronomyObservationsScienceHistoryEuropeHistoryHistory of Physics and AstronomyAstronomy, Observations and TechniquesHistory of ScienceEuropean HistoryPhysicsHistory.AstronomyScienceHistory.EuropeHistory.History of Physics and Astronomy.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.History of Science.European History.523.109523.109Barrado Navascués David0MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910728386503321Cosmography in the Age of Discovery and the Scientific Revolution3382353UNINA
