This guerrilla research guide will turn you into the Rambo of research in about 10 minutes. Just follow the rules to beat your apprehension, and your deadlines, like a rented mule. by Carson Day  [ 2005-09-26 ] The very word, "science" carries with it an air of authority. And the fact that "westerners" associate certain theories with truth is no accident. Scientists and teachers carefully cultivate this close connection in the media, on college campuses, and in our minds.

This would send scientists shopping for a new view of science, and of themselves. Let the shopping begin. by Carson Day  [ 2005-09-26 ] Horoscopes seem to pop up everywhere in America. From newspapers to county fair booths, astrologers ply their trade, wishing us to concede that the stars somehow set our futures on an inevitable course.
