Recenzje

The intention of the book - based on a differentiated, partly faith-friendly self-understanding of scientists, to plausibilize the dialogue of science with religious communities in order to increase social unity - remains foreign to European readers. However, the perspective and intention of this book [...] offer a very informative insight into the Anglo-American social structure and its challenges.
