In a letter of 1932, Karl Popper described Die beiden Grundprobleme der Erkenntnistheorie The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge as a child of crises, above all of the crisis of physics.

Finally available in English, it is a major contribution to the philosophy of science, epistemology and twentieth century philosophy generally.

The two fundamental problems of knowledge that lie at the centre of the book are the problem of induction, that although we are able to observe only a limited number of particular events, science nevertheless advances...

At the age of eight, Karl Popper was puzzling over the idea of infinity and by fifteen was beginning to take a keen interest in his father's well-stocked library of books. Unended Quest recounts these moments and many others in the life of one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century, providing an indispensable account of the ideas that influenced him most. As an introduction to Popper's philosophy, Unended Quest also shines. Popper lucidly explains the central ideas in his work, making this book ideal for anyone coming to Popper's life and work for the...

Wen Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) wirklich schätzte, dem schenkte er eine seiner Zeichnungen, die schon zu Lebzeiten des Künstlers nicht nur Gunstbeweis, sondern auch begehrte Sammelobjekte waren. Michelangelo wird als Maler und Architekt, vor allem aber als genialer Bildhauer verehrt.

Dabei fingen auch seine monumentalsten Werke einmal auf einem kleinen Blatt an. Diese aktualisierte Neuausgabe...

The cell wall and its constituent polysaccharides and proteins control nearly all plant-based biological and biophysical processes. Understanding the cell wall is, therefore, not only fundamental to the plant sciences but is also pertinent to aspects of human and animal nutrition and health as well as plant-microbe and plant-animal interactions. In The Plant Cell Wall: Methods and Protocols, experts in the field describe detailed methods which are currently being applied to investigate the many aspects of the plant cell wall including its structure, biochemical composition, and...
