Identifying the Electron: Meaning Variance and the Historicity of Scientific Realism --References --IndexBoth a history and a metahistory, Representing Electrons focuses on the development of various theoretical representations of electrons from the late 1890's to 1925 and the methodological problems associated with writing about unobservable scientific entities. Using the electron-or rather its representation-as a historical actor, Theodore Arabatzis illustrates the emergence and gradual consolidation of its representation in physics, its career throughout old quantum theory, and its appropriation and reinterpretation by chemists. As Arabatzis develops this novel biographical approach, he portrays scientific representations as partly autonomous agents with lives of their own. Furthermore, he argues that the considerable variance in the representation of the electron does not undermine its stable identity or existence. Raising philosophical issues of contentious debate in the history and philosophy of science-namely, scientific realism and meaning change-Arabatzis addresses the history of the electron across disciplines, integrating historical narrative with philosophical analysis in a book that will be a touchstone for historians and philosophers of science and scientists alike.ElectronsHistorySciencePhilosophyRealismelectrons, science, invisible, unobservable, representation, physics, quantum theory, chemistry, scientific realism, philosophy, karl popper, discovery, meaning change, theoretical entities, hypothesis, zeeman effect, ion, lorentz, relativity, corpuscle, thomson, gn lewis, irving langmuir, goudsmit, uhlenbeck, putnam, hacking, feyerabend, kuhn, historicism, nonfiction.ElectronsHistory.SciencePhilosophy.Realism.539.7/2112NU 1500rvkArabatzis Theodore1965-1528864MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789535303321Representing electrons3846013UNINA03328nam 22004573 450 991016407000332120230725063638.01-59433-238-X(CKB)3710000001057079(MiAaPQ)EBC6535220(Au-PeEL)EBL6535220(OCoLC)1245672013(BIP)039383926(EXLCZ)99371000000105707920210901d2011 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierIce Blue Eyes An Alaska Story of Greed, Life, and Revenge1st ed.Chicago :Publication Consultants,2011.©2011.1 online resource (223 pages)Cover Page -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Acknowledgements -- Character List -- Table of Contents -- Chapter One -- Chapter Two -- Chapter Three -- Chapter Four -- Chapter Five -- Chapter Six -- Chapter Seven -- Chapter Eight -- Chapter Nine -- Chapter Ten -- Chapter Eleven -- Chapter Twelve -- Chapter Thirteen -- Chapter Fourteen -- Chapter Fifteen -- Chapter Sixteen -- Chapter Seventeen -- Chapter Eighteen -- Chapter Nineteen -- Chapter Twenty -- Chapter Twenty One -- Chapter Twenty Two -- Chapter Twenty Three -- Chapter Twenty Four -- Chapter Twenty Five -- Chapter Twenty Six -- Chapter Twenty Seven -- Chapter Twenty Eight -- Chapter Twenty Nine -- Chapter Thirty -- Chapter Thirty One -- Chapter Thirty Two -- Chapter Thirty Three -- Chapter Thirty Four -- Chapter Thirty Five -- Chapter Thirty Six -- Chapter Thirty Seven -- Chapter Thirty Eight -- Chapter Thirty Nine -- Chapter Forty -- Chapter Forty One -- Chapter Forty Two -- Chapter Forty Three -- Chapter Forty Four -- Chapter Forty Five -- Chapter Forty Six -- Chapter Forty Seven -- Chapter Forty Eight.Tragedy met two Seattle bankers kayaking in Prince William Sound in Southcentral Alaska. One of the men was killed by falling ice while the other video-taped the event. The banker was the one charged with managing the Alaska Account at SeaFirst Bank in Seattle. Aliana Pedersen, Assistant Director of Finance for the State of Alaska, must now find a replacement. Shortly after the change-over a clerk in the bank discovered irregularities in the account. Trooper Reuben Hayes had become acquainted with all the parties when the first banker was accidentally killed. His investigation leads him to a personal affair with the Deputy Director of Finance and embroils him in a case of bank fraud. Reminiscent of Alaska's Last Bridge to Nowhere politics, the suspected perpetrators are the bank president, the head of the Alaska Account at SeaFirst, and even the Governor of the State of Alaska. Many others become entangled in the case: a local drug dealer, a Mexican Mafia Don, and the FBI.
