The Evolution of Technology
ISBN: 9780521296816 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Presents an evolutionary theory of technological change based on recent scholarship in the history of technology and on relevant material drawn from economic history and anthropology. Challenges the popular notion that technological advances arise from the efforts of a few heroic individuals who produce a series of revolutionary inventions that owe little or nothing to the technological past. Therefore, the book's argument is shaped by analogies drawn selectively from the theory of organic evolution, and not from the theory and practice of political revolution. Three themes appear, with...

Civilized Life in the Universe: Scientists on Intelligent Extraterrestrials
ISBN: 9780195171815 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is a selective and fascinating history of scientific speculation about intelligent extraterrestrial life. From Plutarch to Stephen Hawking, some of the most prominent western scientists have had quite detailed perceptions and misperceptions about alien civilizations: Johannes Kepler, fresh from transforming astronomy with his work on the shape of planetary orbits, was quite sure alien engineers on the moon were excavating circular pits to provide shelter; Christiaan Huygens, the most prominent physical scientist between Galileo and Newton, dismissed Kepler's speculations, but used...

Science and the Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780521286190 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Science and the Enlightenment is a general history of eighteenth-century science covering both the physical and life sciences.

The book takes advantage of topical scholarship, which is rapidly changing our understanding of science during the eighteenth century.

Science and the Practice of Medicine in the Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780521272056 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this wide ranging survey, W.F. Bynum examines the parallel development of biomedical sciences (such as physiology, pathology, bacteriology and immunology) and of clinical practice and preventive medicine in nineteenth-century Europe and North America. By examining the contributions of key individuals, such as Louis Pasteur, R.T.H. Laennec, Claude Bernard, Edwin Chadwick, and Rudolf Virchow, and important institutions, Professor Bynum shows how science played a vital role in transforming medical education and medical care, and how the medical profession ultimately benefited from the public...

Man and Nature in the Renaissance
ISBN: 9780521293280 / Angielski / Miękka / 1978 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Man and Nature in the Renaissance offers an introduction to science and medicine during the earlier phases of the scientific revolution, from the mid-fifteenth century to the mid-seventeenth century. Renaissance science has frequently been approached in terms of the progress of the exact sciences of mathematics and astronomy, to the neglect of the broader intellectual context of the period. Conversely, those authors who have emphasized the latter frequently play down the importance of the technical scientific developments. In this book, Professor Debus amalgamates these approaches: The exact...
