Book Description
Physicist Stephen M. Barr’s lucid Student’s Guide to Natural Science gives students an understanding, in broad outline, of the nature, history, and great ideas of natural science from ancient times to the present, with a primary focus on physics. Barr discusses the contributions of the ancient Greeks, the medieval roots of the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century, the role religion played in fostering the idea of a lawful natural order, and the major theoretical breakthroughs of modern physics. Throughout this thoughtful guide, Barr draws his readers’ attention to the larger themes and trends of scientific history, including the increasing unification of our view of the physical world, in which the laws of nature appear increasingly to form a single harmonious mathematical edifice.

Book Description
Utilitarian Liberation & Common End O you who believe [in Natural Science]! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer to both (than you are). So follow not the lusts [of your hearts], lest you swerve, and if you distort [Created & Manifested Truth] or decline to do justice [with our Fundamental Rights], verily Allah is well-informed of all that you do. [Sura (3) – Aatun-Nisaaa-a – Verse – 135] “Laa yukalli-ful laahu nafsan illa wus-ahaa. Lahaa maa kasabat w-alay-haa mak-tasabat. Rabbanaa laa tu-aa-khiznaaa in-nasiinaaa aw akhta-naa. Rabbanaa wa laa tahmil alay-naaa is-ran-kamaa hamal tahuu alal-laziina min-qab-linaa. Rabbanaa wa laa tuhammil-naa maa laa taaqata lanaa bih. Wa fu-annaa, wag-fir lanaa, war-ham-naa. Anta Mawlaanaa fan-surnaa alal-qaw-mil-Kaafi-riin” - On no soul Allah places a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. [Pray:] Our Rab! Condemn us not if we forget or miss the mark! Our Rab! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us. Our Rab! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector. Grant us victory over the disbelieving folk [disbelievers of Equal & Opposite Apriori Framework of Natural Science and Un-contradicted Facts of this Manifested Nature]. [Sura (1) – An-tazbahuu Baqarah – Verse – 286]

Book Description
The chapters in this book represent a cross-section of research conducted in inquiry-based science education at primary levels of schooling in international contexts that include school settings in Australia, India, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, Northern Ireland, and the United States. The book includes empirical studies on the role of inquiry-based learning in advancing students’ conceptual understanding and modelling proficiency, students’ understandings about the nature of scientific inquiry, classroom studies on teachers’ enactment of inquiry-based learning, teachers’ facilitation of classroom discourse for inquiry-based learning, and co-teaching in developing teachers in adopting an inquiry-based pedagogy. It was originally published as a special issue of the journal Education 3–13.

Book Description
Whether it’s widely promoted debates streamed over the internet or a big-budget documentary series on TV, the supposed “conflict” between science and faith remains as prominent as ever. In this accessible guide for students, a well-regarded science professor introduces readers to the natural sciences from a distinctly Christian perspective. Starting with the classical view of God as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, this book lays the biblical foundation for the study of the natural world and explores the history of scientific reflection from Kepler to Darwin. This informative resource argues that the Christian worldview provides the best grounds for scientific investigation, offering readers the framework they need to think and speak clearly about this important issue.

Book Description
This book identifies the organizing concepts of physical and biological phenomena by an analysis of the foundations of mathematics and physics. Our aim is to propose a dialog between different conceptual universes and thus to provide a unification of phenomena. The role of “order” and symmetries in the foundations of mathematics is linked to the main invariants and principles, among them the geodesic principle (a consequence of symmetries), which govern and confer unity to various physical theories. Moreover, an attempt is made to understand causal structures, a central element of physical intelligibility, in terms of both symmetries and symmetry breakings. A distinction between the principles of (conceptual) construction and of proofs, both in physics and in mathematics, guides most of the work.The importance of mathematical tools is also highlighted to clarify differences in the models for physics and biology that are proposed by continuous and discrete mathematics, such as computational simulations.Since biology is particularly complex and not as well understood at a theoretical level, we propose a “unification by concepts” which in any case should precede mathematization. This constitutes an outline for unification also based on highlighting conceptual differences, complex points of passage and technical irreducibilities of one field to another. Indeed, we suppose here a very common monist point of view, namely the view that living objects are “big bags of molecules”. The main question though is to understand which “theory” can help better understand these bags of molecules. They are, indeed, rather “singular”, from the physical point of view. Technically, we express this singularity through the concept of “extended criticality”, which provides a logical extension of the critical transitions that are known in physics. The presentation is mostly kept at an informal and conceptual level./a
