Looking back at examples from the history books, Friedman said, provide a sense of just how intense the rivalry between the two schools had become by the start of the century.
The generation gap was apparent at Macalester, where Mr. Mondale's answers to an hour of questions were filled with examples from the history books: the creation of Medicare, the rescue of boat people after the Vietnam War, a visit to apartheid South Africa and the Camp David accords.
Two examples from the History of Technology will provide an illustration to some of the most basic prerequisites for a successful long-term technology implementation.
As we have demonstrated with the three case studies, visual representations are part of the process of knowledge growth and communication in science, as demonstrated with two examples from the history of science and an example from current scientific practices.
Honoring Lockshin's idea that ELF is best understood through examples from the history of science, you will find hints on some of his better stories in the next paragraph.
Fleck, using examples from the history of medicine, shows that such a lack of understanding manifests itself not only where a physicist and a metaphysician or astrologer meet, but also when today's scientists read works of their ancestors from the distant past.
