Atheist's Guide to Reality: Enjoying Life Without Illusions
ISBN: 9780393344110 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. We can't avoid the persistent questions about the meaning of life--and the nature of reality. But science is the only means of answering them. So declares philosopher Alex Rosenberg in this bracing, surprisingly sanguine take on a world without god. The science that makes us nonbelievers, he demonstrates, tells us the nature of reality, the purpose of everything, the difference between right and wrong, how the mind works, even the direction of human history.

Economics--Mathematical Politics or Science of Diminishing Returns?
ISBN: 9780226727240 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 283 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Economics today cannot predict the likely outcome of specific events any better than it could in the time of Adam Smith. This is Alexander Rosenberg's controversial challenge to the scientific status of economics. Rosenberg explains that the defining characteristic of "any" science is predictive improvability the capacity to create more precise forecasts by evaluating the success of earlier predictions and he forcefully argues that because economics has not been able to increase its predictive power for over two centuries, it is not a science."
