دانلود کتاب ساخت آمونیاک – فریتز هابر، والتر نرنست، و ماهیت کشف علمی

This book is about the natural sciences. It is an account of a unique discovery in the history of science: the synthetic production of ammonia from the elements, known today as the Haber-Bosch process. The story illustrates how we are able to change our lives through scientific investigation to make possible the previously inconceivable. Despite our accomplishments, however, we still have difficulty answering basic questions. What is science? And how does science work? It is certainly more than an exclusive engagement with hard facts and truths, as is often posited. At its core, science may be characterized as the interpretation of experimental observations within a theoretical framework (although preliminary planning and equipment are also required). Fittingly or paradoxically, the way in which science works cannot be described so succinctly. My attempt to formulate an answer fills the pages of this book. And as the pages demonstrate, performing scientific research is not an exact science (hah!). Scientific research is a trade. Science thrives on the accumulated knowledge of past generations and science exists because we practice it.
