The Medieval Podcast | Wonders and Rarities with Travis Zadeh

This week, Daniele speaks with Travis Zadeh about a thirteenth-century bestseller written by a scholar named Qazwini, who brought together natural philosophy and what we might now call supernatural philosophy to reveal the workings of the world and the universe.

Explore and refine your topic: Map concepts

Why use concept mapping? Concept maps or tables help you to brainstorm ideas, focus your topic, and identify possible keywords (aka search terms) before using the library's databases to search for articles for your literature review. Finding search terms To find relevant words, you can use a dictionary or encyclopedia (Wikipedia is very useful for this). You can also do a quick search for journal articles and have a look at the results list. Concept tables Organize the words you have for the concepts in your research topic in lists and then in categories per key concept in a concept table. Cmap tools Cmap software is a result of research conducted at the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC). Related. Suggested.
