Can a Darwinian Be a Christian?: The Relationship Between Science and Religion
ISBN: 9780521637169 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Can someone who accepts Darwin's theory of natural selection subscribe at the same time to the basic tenets of Christianity? Adopting a balanced perspective on the subject, Michael Ruse argues that, although it is at times difficult for a Darwinian to embrace Christian belief, it is not inconceivable. Ruse has produced an important contribution to a sometimes overheated debate for anyone interested in seeking an informed and judicious guide to these issues. Michael Ruse is professor of philosophy and zoology at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. He is the author of many books on...

ISBN: 9780199334599 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over the last decade, "New Atheists" such as Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens have pushed the issue of atheism to the forefront of public discussion.

Sociobiology: Sense or Nonsense?
ISBN: 9789400993914 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In June 1975, the distinguished Harvard entomologist Edward O. Wilson published a truly huge book entitled, Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. In this book, drawing on both fact and theory, Wilson tried to present a com- prehensive overview of the rapidly growing subject of 'sociobiology', the study of the biological nature and foundations of animal behaviour, more precisely animal social behaviour. Although, as the title rather implies, Wilson was more surveying and synthesising than developing new material, he com- pensated by giving the most thorough and inclusive treatment possible,...

ISBN: 9781943657100 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Simply Darwin tells the story of Charles Robert Darwin (1809–1882) and his theory of evolution through natural selection. On one level, the book portrays a dedicated scientist who, through careful observation and brilliant insight, became convinced that organisms were the end product of a long, slow, and natural process of development.

The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin is universally recognized as one of the most important science books ever written. Published in 1859, it was here that Darwin argued for both the fact of evolution and the mechanism of natural section.

ISBN: 9780226731704 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In 1965 English scientist James Lovelock had a flash of insight: the Earth is not just teeming with life; the Earth, in some sense, is life. He mulled this revolutionary idea over for several years, first with his close friend the novelist William Golding, and then in an extensive collaboration with the American scientist Lynn Margulis. In the early 1970s, he finally went public with the Gaia hypothesis, the idea that everything happens for an end: the good of planet Earth. Lovelock and Margulis were scorned by professional scientists, but the general public enthusiastically embraced...
