To some, Newton’s “gravity” was a step backwards to a time when conceptual inventions like “instincts” and “humours” were invoked as explanations of scientific phenomena—explanations that explained nothing. Newton replied, “I feign no hypotheses,” hypotheses non fingo. But many of us never got beyond this stumper in physics and we would like know how action at a distance is possible. So we asked an Oakland expert.Item Presidential Searches - Survivor Style!(Oakland University, 2001-10-01) Ludorf, Mark R.; Rountree, Kathleen; Brieger, GottfriedThe next time YOUR university needs a new president, how will you search for the perfect candidate?
