ISBN: 9780813530369 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

Finally, the real story about corporate America with its increased reliance on consultants. Since the 1990s, consulting solutions have become the de facto standard for solving business problems and providing cover for corporate decision makers. This is not the typical CEO whitewash, or business management primer. Steve Romaine offers a view never before shared with management or stockholders as he takes a hired gun's journey beginning at the outside looking in, and ending at the pinnacle of a corporation's power.
Based on his experience of working for IBM, his later role as a... Finally, the real story about corporate America with its increased reliance on consultants. Since the 1990s, consulting solutions have become the de f...

Philosophy of Biology
ISBN: 9781591025276 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 473 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

ISBN: 9780226731698 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1979, "The Darwinian Revolution" was the first comprehensive and readable synthesis of the history of evolutionary thought.

Monad to Man: The Concept of Progress in Evolutionary Biology
ISBN: 9780674032484 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 648 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The idea of evolution: it fascinates some of us, disturbs others, and leaves only a very few people indifferent. In a major new interpretation of evolutionary theory, Michael Ruse pinpoints the common source of this attraction and discomfort. A renowned writer on evolutionary theory and its history, Ruse has long been sensitive to the fact that many people--and not simply religious enthusiasts--find something deeply troubling about much of what passes for science in evolutionary circles. What causes this tension, he finds in his search of evolutionism's 250-year history, is the intimate...

Science and Spirituality: Making Room for Faith in the Age of Science

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.

Darwin and Design: Does Evolution Have a Purpose?
ISBN: 9780674016316 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

The Gaia Hypothesis: Science on a Pagan Planet
ISBN: 9780226731704 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

Researchers are eager to move forward, state governments and private foundations are rushing to support it, and the sick and afflicted are desperate for its benefits. Yet powerful forces in our society -- led by President George W. Bush -- find it morally troubling and they are doing all in their powers to restrict its development beyond a very limited scale.
