Real Science: What It Is and What It Means
ISBN: 9780521893107 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Unlike most other similar books, this systematic, carefully reasoned, non-technical analysis of the nature and significance of scientific knowledge opens the way to reconciliation in the 'science wars'. By describing how academic scientists actually undertake research and communicate their findings, it shows that the philosophy, psychology and sociology of science are inextricably entwined, and that 'realism' and 'relativism' are just two sides of the same coin. The writing is well-informed, down-to-earth and lucid.

Wie Zuverlässig Ist Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnis?
ISBN: 9783528084837 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 1982 / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Dieses Buch entstand aus einer Vorlesung, die ich unter dem Tite "Darf man den Naturwissenschaften glauben" vor verschiedenen Auditorien gehalten habe. Auf Einladung der Van-Leer-Jerusalem-Stiftung konnte ich meinen Vortrag weiter ausarbeiten und in Form von vier ausgedehnten Seminaren im April 1975 einer hilfreich kritischen Gruppe von Philosophen, Geistes- und Naturwissenschaftlern prasentieren. Das Versprechen, mein Manuskript zur Veroffentlichung zu Uberarbeiten, fiel mir leicht, doch hatte es bereits ein gewisses Eigenleben angenommen und es dauerte noch zwei Jahre, bis ich es gezahmt...

It will appeal to students in a wide range of scientific disciplines and complements Professor Ziman's earlier books.

Science in Civil Society
ISBN: 9781845400828 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. These days, science is everywhere. It pervades our whole society. Sometimes it is just a clutter of commonplace frivolities, like new fashion fabrics. Sometimes it miraculously preserves our life, like penicillin. Sometimes, like climate change, it looms over us as a portent of doom: sometimes it promises a way of escape from such a fate. Sometimes, like a nuclear warhead, it enshrouds us in political terror: sometimes, like a verification technology, it offers an antidote to such evils. How should we respond to this ambiguous and ubiquitous thing called science?

Knowing Everything about Nothing: Specialization and Change in Research Careers
ISBN: 9780521126076 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this book, originally published in 1987, John Ziman seeks the answers to crucial questions facing scientists who need to change the direction of their careers. A research scientist takes years to acquire specialized knowledge and skills. A whole career may then be spent as an expert in a very narrow field. But new discoveries and new social demands bring rapid change to science and technology. Is it really so difficult for scientists to move into new fields of research mid-career? How are their attitudes to change affected by their education, their research experience, their conditions of...

Reliable Knowledge: An Exploration of the Grounds for Belief in Science
ISBN: 9780521406703 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why believe in the findings of science? John Ziman argues that scientific knowledge is not uniformly reliable, but rather like a map representing a country we cannot visit. He shows how science has many elements, including alongside its experiments and formulae the language and logic, patterns and preconceptions, facts and fantasies used to illustrate and express its findings. These elements are variously combined by scientists in their explanations of the material world as it lies outside our everyday experience. John Ziman's book offers at once a valuably clear account and a radically...
