ISBN: 9780262540902 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

If such animals, for instance, were magically given the power of language, would their communities evolve an intelligence as subtly discriminating as ours? Will robots, once they have been endowed with sensory systems like those that...

The Sex Side of Life is a beautifully crafted essay that delves into the physical, as well as emotional aspects of sex education for young people; it is the ideal guide when it comes to understanding the complexity of human relations and sex. Young people can't help wanting to understand all about sex, but somehow they find themselves a little embarrassed in asking all the questions that come into their mind, and often they don't feel quite like talking about it freely, especially to their father and mother. Older people really want to help them with their experience and advice; and yet,...

Dioramas and panoramas, freaks and magicians, waxworks and menageries, obscure relics and stuffed animals--a dazzling assortment of curiosities attracted the gaze of the nineteenth-century spectator at the dime museum.

ISBN: 9788378866213 / Polski / miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Twoje stanowisko, Dan, jest jak węgorz - za każdym razem, kiedy je uchwycę, a przynajmniej tak mi się wydaje, wymyka mi się z rąk, skarży się Gregg D. Caruso. Tak właśnie się dzieje, kiedy filozofowie usiłują sklasyfikować wszystkie izmy, odparowuje Daniel C. Dennett.
Dwóch znakomitych filozofów ściera się - życzliwie, ale bez merytorycznej taryfy ulgowej - w epistolarnej dyskusji o tym, czy jesteśmy kukiełkami na linkach przypadku, czy mamy życie pod niejaką choćby kontrolą. Sceptycznie spoglądający na ideę wolnej woli Caruso spotyka się z reprezentującym...
