The Collapse of Darwinism: Or the Rise of a Realist Theory of Life
ISBN: 9780739106136 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this provocative work, noted social and economic theorist Graeme D. Snooks exposes fatal flaws in the foundations of the Darwinian theory of evolution, which he deems an "artificial algorithm," as well as the neo-Darwinian synthesis adopted by many social scientists. Utilizing the historical method, Snooks develops a remarkable replacement theory of evolution, which he calls the "dynamic-strategy" theory. While the neo-Darwinian position places too great an emphasis on genetic change giving rise to untenable but popular concepts such as the "selfish gene" and fails to explain the...

The Coming Eclipse: Or, The Triumph of Climate Mitigation Over Solar Revolution
ISBN: 9780980839401 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. THE COMING ECLIPSE deals with the most important issue of our era, and deals with it in a unique way. This book is concerned with a critical choice of futures: either the adoption of a comprehensive climate-mitigation program or the emergence of a new technological revolution. As this book succinctly explains, the adoption of one will eclipse the other. A climate mitigation program of the type proposed by the IPCC will require the establishment of an artificial system of prices, which could only be achieved by establishing a command-like economy. Such an economic system would lock us into the...

The Death of Zarathustra: Notes on Truth for the Risk-Taker
ISBN: 9780980839425 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book explores truth in human society - its nature, role, and future. But it does so in an unorthodox way, by employing a fictional framework. Truth conveyed within a lie. It is an exploration that ranges from Greek rationalism (truth told to outsiders and lies to insiders) in the West and Zoroastrianism (Truth versus the Lie) in the East, to the pragmatism of today, and beyond. It is the year 2044 in a world reeling from the devastating effects of a radical experiment by governments to impose a draconian global climate-mitigation program. After decades of oppression, right-wing forces in...
