Adaptationism and Optimality
ISBN: 9780521591669 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The theory of adaptationism argues that natural selection contains sufficient explanatory power in itself to account for all evolution. However, there are differing views about the efficiency, or optimality, of the adaptation model of explanation.

An introduction to a large and complicated subject, which has come to be called the Scientific Revolution, this book refers to the fundamental changes in our understanding of the natural world that occurred in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Darwinian Heresies
ISBN: 9780521815161 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Including some of today's leading historians and philosophers of science, this collection demonstrates that not all is precisely as it is too often assumed. Thus, the contributors to this volume suggest that Darwin's true roots lie in Germany, not his native England, that Russian evolutionism is more significant than many are prepared to allow, and that the true influence on twentieth century evolutionary biology was not Charles Darwin at all, but his often-despised contemporary, Herbert Spencer.
