Joseph Needham, who died in 1995, was the greatest British historian of China of the last 100 years.

Complexity and Evolution
ISBN: 9780521117951 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This unique book ranges across the physical, biological and social sciences in the development of its primary theme, that there are nine major "integrative levels" that can be recognized. The term integrative levels was first used by Joseph Needham in 1937, and has two key features. The first is that members of a given integrative level are unified entities and the second is that a member of one level is commonly composed of parts that are members of the next lower level. Thus fundamental particles form Level 1 while Level 9 is that of sovereign states. This theme has been developed by Max...
