Numerous books, and at one point a journal, have been published on egg collecting and identification: Oology Oology (or oölogy) is a branch of ornithology studying bird eggs, nests and breeding behaviour. The word is derived from the Greek ""oion"", meaning egg. Oology can also refer to the hobby of collecting wild birds' eggs, sometimes called egg collecting, birdnesting or egging, which is now illegal in many jurisdictions. Oology became increasingly popular in Britain and the United States during the 1800s. Observing birds from"
"Oenology Oenology (enology; ) is the science and study of wine and winemaking; distinct from viticulture, the agricultural endeavours of vine-growing and of grape-harvesting.

An oenologist is an expert in the fields comprehended by the ""Viticulture and Oenology"" designation for oenology-training programmes and research centres that include schooling, training, and education in the outdoor and indoors aspects of wine and the making of wine. An increasing number of schools offer degree-granting programs in Oenology and Viticulture. Most"

Several aspects of ornithology differ from related disciplines, due partly to the high visibility and the aesthetic appeal of birds. The science of ornithology has a long history and studies on birds have helped develop several key concepts in evolution, behaviour and ecology such as the definition of species, the process of speciation, instinct, learning, ecological niches, guilds, island biogeography, phylogeography, and conservation. While early ornithology was principally concerned with descriptions and distributions of species, ornithologists today seek answers to very specific questions, often using birds as"

There is a degree of overlap between organology, ethnomusicology (being subsets of musicology) and the branch of the science of acoustics devoted to musical instruments.

The Bridge is described by the church as a series of soteriological steps. The Bridge is broken down into two parallel paths, Training and Processing. Processing addresses the Scientologist's ""case"" or how they function in life as influenced by their ""aberrations"". The Training path teaches Hubbard's theories on the nature of life and the universe and the techniques of auditing."

"On the one hand, ontology is the study of being, and the central topic of the field is couched, variously, in terms of being, existence, ""what is"", and reality. The task in ontology is to describe the most general categories of reality and how they are interrelated. If a philosopher wanted to proffer a positive definition of the concept ""reality"", it would be done under this heading. As explained above, some philosophers draw a distinction between reality and existence. In fact, many analytic philosophers today tend to avoid the term ""real"" and ""reality"" in discussing ontological issues. But for those"

The term was first used by Paul Lapie, in 1902, and Eduard von Hartmann, in 1908. Axiology studies mainly two kinds of values: ethics and aesthetics. Ethics investigates the concepts of ""right"" and ""good"" in individual and social conduct. Aesthetics studies the concepts of ""beauty"" and ""harmony."" Formal axiology, the"

These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to further knowledge of the world ocean and understanding of processes within: astronomy, biology,"
"Ethology Ethology is the scientific and objective study of animal behaviour, usually with a focus on behaviour under natural conditions, and viewing behaviour as an evolutionarily adaptive trait. Behaviourism is a term that also describes the scientific and objective study of animal behaviour, usually referring to measured responses to stimuli or trained behavioural responses in a laboratory context, without a particular emphasis on evolutionary adaptivity. Many naturalists have studied aspects of animal behaviour throughout history. Ethology has its scientific roots in the work of Charles Darwin and of American and German ornithologists of the late 19th and early 20th century,"
