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,...

Atheism: What Everyone Needs to Know(r)
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. Yet very few of the ensuing debates and discussions have managed to provide a full and objective treatment of the subject. Atheism: What Everyone Needs to Know provides a balanced look at the topic, considering atheism historically, philosophically, theologically, sociologically and psychologically. Written in an easily accessible style, the book uses a question and answer format to examine the history of...

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...

Simply Darwin
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. On another level, it is an account of a cataclysmic change in our ideas about ourselves—a conceptual upheaval that continues to generate aftershocks—and heated debates—to this...

The Gaia Hypothesis: Science on a Pagan Planet
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...

Science and Spirituality: Making Room for Faith in the Age of Science
ISBN: 9781107681811 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Science and Spirituality: Making Room for Faith in the Age of Science, Michael Ruse offers a new analysis of the often troubled relationship between science and religion. Arguing against both extremes in one corner, the New Atheists; in the other, the Creationists and their offspring the Intelligent Designers he asserts that science is undoubtedly the highest and most fruitful source of human inquiry. Yet, by its very nature and its deep reliance on metaphor, science restricts itself and is unable to answer basic, significant, and potent questions about the meaning of the universe and...

Originally published in 1979, "The Darwinian Revolution" was the first comprehensive and readable synthesis of the history of evolutionary thought. Though the years since have seen an enormous flowering of research on Darwin and other nineteenth-century scientists concerned with evolution, as well as the larger social and cultural responses to their work, "The Darwinian Revolution" remains remarkably current and stimulating.

Darwinism as Religion: What Literature Tells Us about Evolution
ISBN: 9780190241025 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Darwinian Revolution--the change in thinking sparked by Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, which argued that all organisms including humans are the end product of a long, slow, natural process of evolution rather than the miraculous creation of an all-powerful God--is one of the truly momentous cultural events in Western Civilization. Darwinism as Religion is an innovative and exciting approach to this revolution through creative writing, showing how the theory of evolution as expressed by Darwin has, from the first, functioned as a secular religion.

Darwin and Design: Does Evolution Have a Purpose?
ISBN: 9780674016316 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The intricate forms of living things bespeak design, and thus a creator: nearly 150 years after Darwin's theory of natural selection called this argument into question, we still speak of life in terms of design--the function of the eye, the purpose of the webbed foot, the design of the fins. Why is the "argument from design" so tenacious, and does Darwinism--itself still evolving after all these years--necessarily undo it? The definitive work on these contentious questions, Darwin and Design surveys the argument from design from its introduction by the Greeks, through the...
