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...

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,...

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...

Can a Darwinian Be a Christian?: The Relationship Between Science and Religion
ISBN: 9780521637169 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

Philosophy of Biology
ISBN: 9781591025276 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 473 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Biologists study life in its various physical forms, while philosophers of biology seek answers to questions about the nature, purpose, and impact of this research. What permits us to distinguish between living and nonliving things even though both are made of the same minerals? Is the complex structure of organisms proof that a creative force is working its will in the physical universe, or are existing life-forms the random result of an evolutionary process working itself out over eons of time? What moral and social questions arise regarding modern advances in biotechnology? What is more...

The Evolution Wars : A Guide to the Debates
ISBN: 9780813530369 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Evolution Wars draws on history, science, and philosophy to examine the development of evolutionary thought through the past two and a half centuries. It focuses on the debates that have engaged, divided, and ultimately provoked scientists to ponder the origins of life--including humankind--paying regard to the nineteenth-century clash over the nature of classification and debates about the fossil record, genetics, and human nature. Much attention is paid to external factors and they underlying motives of scientists. In these pages you will meet Charles Darwin's ebullient grandfather...

The Darwinian Revolution: Science Red in Tooth and Claw
ISBN: 9780226731698 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. 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.
For this edition Michael Ruse has written a new afterword that takes into account the research published since his book's first appearance. "It is difficult to...

Science and Spirituality
ISBN: 9780521755948 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...
