Galileo: Watcher of the Skies
ISBN: 9780300197297 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Galileo (1564-1642) is one of the most important and controversial figures in the history of science. A hero of modern science and key to its birth, he was also a deeply divided man: a scholar committed to the establishment of scientific truth yet forced to concede the importance of faith, and a brilliant analyst of the elegantly mathematical workings of nature yet bungling and insensitive with his own family. Tackling Galileo as astronomer, engineer, and author, David Wootton places him at the center of Renaissance culture. He traces Galileo through his early rebellious years; the...

Paolo Sarpi: Between Renaissance and Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780521892346 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Paolo Sarpi (1552 1623) is remembered as the defender of Venice against the Papal Interdict of 1606 and as the first, and greatest, historian of the Counter-Reformation. The sources of his undoubted hostility to clerical authority have always been a matter of controversy; many contemporaries claimed that Sarpi was an 'atheist', while to others his anticlericalism suggested that he was in secret a Protestant. In the present book David Wootton argues that Sarpi's public opinions must be assessed in the light of the views expressed in his private papers. Starting from the Pensiere, in which...

ISBN: 9780199212798 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Just how much good has medicine done over the years? And how much damage does it continue to do?
The history of medicine begins with Hippocrates in the fifth century BC. Yet until the invention of antibiotics in the 1930s doctors, in general, did their patients more harm than good. In this fascinating new look at the history of medicine, David Wootton argues that for more than 2300 years doctors have relied on their patients' misplaced faith in their ability to cure. Over and over again major discoveries which could save lives were met with professional resistance. And this is not... Just how much good has medicine done over the years?

Atheism from the Reformation to the Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780198227366 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The rise of atheism and unbelief is a key feature in the development of the modern world, yet it is a topic which has been little explored by historians. This book presents a series of studies of irreligious ideas in various parts of Europe during the two centuries following the Reformation. Atheism was illegal everywhere. The word itself first entered the vernacular languages soon after the Reformation, but it was not until the eighteenth century that the first systematic defences of unbelief began to appear in print. Its history in the intervening two centuries is significant but hitherto...
