	Measuring Nothing, Repeatedly Allan Franklin, Ronald Laymon There have been many recent discussions of the ‘replication crisis’ in psychology and other social sciences. This has been attributed, in part, to the fact that researchers hesitate to submit null results and journals fail to publish such results. In… Publication Date: December, 2019 Read More
	Investigative Science Learning Environment Eugenia Etkina, David T. Brookes, Gorazd Planinsic The goal of this book is to introduce a reader to a new philosophy of teaching and learning physics – Investigative Science Learning Environment, or ISLE (pronounced as a small island). ISLE is an example of an “intentional” approach to curriculum de… Publication Date: November, 2019 Read More
	Mechanics of Biological Systems Yun Chen, Seungman Park This book is an introduction to the mechanical properties, the force generating capacity, and the sensitivity to mechanical cues of the biological system. To understand how these qualities govern many essential biological processes, we also discuss h… Publication Date: November, 2019 Read More
	The Physics of Noise Edoardo Milotti For a physicist, “noise” is not just about sounds, but refers to any random physical process that blurs measurements, and in so doing stands in the way of scientific knowledge. This book deals with the most common types of noise, their properties, an… Publication Date: November, 2019 Read More
