ISBN: 9780674032200 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780226068633 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Recent scholarship has revealed that pioneering Victorian scientists endeavored through voluminous writing to raise public interest in science and its implications. But it has generally been assumed that once science became a profession around the turn of the century, this new generation of scientists turned its collective back on public outreach. "Science for All" debunks this apocryphal notion. Peter J. Bowler surveys the books, serial works, magazines, and newspapers published between 1900 and the outbreak of World War II to show that practicing scientists were very active in writing...

The story of life's splendid drama has captivated generations of the general public, just as it has intrigued biologists, especially those who began to try to solve evolutionary puzzles in the years immediately after the publication of Darwin's "Origin of Species" in 1859. Yet histories of the Darwinian revolution have paid far more attention to theoretical debates and have largely ignored the researchers who struggled to comprehend the deeper evolutionary significance of fossil bones and the structures of living animals.

Darwin Deleted: Imagining a World Without Darwin
ISBN: 9780226068671 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The ideas and terminology of Darwinism are so pervasive these days that it seems impossible to avoid them, let alone imagine a world without them. But in this remarkable rethinking of scientific history, Peter J. Bowler does just that. He asks: What if Charles Darwin had not returned from the voyage of the Beagle and thus did not write On the Origin of Species? Would someone else, such as Alfred Russel Wallace, have published the selection theory and initiated a similar transformation? Or would the absence of Darwin's book have led to a different sequence of events, in which...
