What was love like for the people who could really feel that song coming on? 'Symphony of Seduction' tells of the romantic misadventures, tragedies and occasional triumphs of some of classical music's great composers, and traces the music that emerged as a result. Christopher Lawrence takes what we know about these love-crazed geniuses and adds a garnish of imagined pillow talk to recreate stories that are ultimately stranger than fiction - and come with a great soundtrack.

Science Incarnate: Historical Embodiments of Natural Knowledge
ISBN: 9780226470146 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ever since Greek antiquity "disembodied knowledge" has often been taken as synonymous with "objective truth." Yet we also have very specific mental images of the kinds of bodies that house great minds-the ascetic philosopher versus the hearty surgeon, for example. Does truth have anything to do with the belly? What difference does it make to the pursuit of knowledge whether Einstein rode a bicycle, Russell was randy, or Darwin flatulent?
Bringing body and knowledge into such intimate contact is occasionally seen as funny, sometimes as enraging, and more often just as pointless. Vividly...

Induced Mutagenesis: Molecular Mechanisms and Their Implications for Environmental Protection
ISBN: 9781468443844 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 433 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Concern is often expressed that our environment may include an increasingly large variety of mutagens, but the extent of the potential hazard they pose has yet to be fully evaluated. A variety of empirical procedures has been devised with which to estimate the mutagenic potency of suspect agents, and the relative merits of different tests are currently under debate. Although such tests are of great value, and are indeed indispensable, they are not, nevertheless, sufficient. In the long term, accurate estimation of hazard will also require a better understanding of the various mechanisms of...
