Exploring depression

...chemistry or in terms of their wiring and those things would possibly reflect their early experiences and their genetic inheritance? Professor Bill Deakin: That’s right. The two continuously interact and I think most genetic influences in depression are going to be like that. Geoff Watts: The Manchester researchers are working on the assumption that different states of...

...chemistry. Napoleon drew up his Civil Code and introduced it across much of Europe, inspired by the Enlightenment idea of laws and principles of universal application. Beneath all of these spheres of enquiry covered in the course, there lay a terrific confidence in all-embracing explanations. This desire to extend and increase knowledge was evident in concerns of a less...

...chemistry teacher and more recently as a science teacher/educator in initial teacher education. I currently work on educational development projects at The Open University, the focus of which are teacher education. As a beginning teacher you will almost certainly be preoccupied with survival – planning lessons, classroom management, marking work and meeting targets set...

...chemistry recently, the concepts may be relatively familiar and you may be able to read through this box quickly, or skip it completely. Box 2 Introducing chemical equations When chemists want to describe a chemical reaction in which one set of substances (the reactants) are transformed into another (the products), they usually do so by means of a chemical equation. The...

Wildfires: environmental and social entanglements

...chemistry of fire is a biochemistry. And as soon as plants began colonising land, they burned, and they’ve been burning ever since. But they burned in a way that was very patchy. Some places, some eras, had lots of fire routinely. Others only episodically or even rarely. And one reason is that life did not control the third element of the fire triangle, namely ignition....

Language and thought: introducing representation

...chemistry and physics have been increasingly integrated with one another. The structure of the Gricean Programme is reflected in Figure 2, which I discuss below, starting at the top and following the arrows in order. The diagram looks complex, but most of it is already familiar. We have seen already that Grice makes a plausible case for the existence of an ambiguity in...
