The Primordial Bond: Exploring Connections Between Man and Nature Through the Humanities and Sciences
ISBN: 9781468410594 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Does the solution to our energy crisis depend upon the de velopment of coal, nuclear, solar, or some other energy source? Are we better off because science and technology have made us less vulnerable to natural catastrophes? How, in fact, do we see ourselves now in relation to our natural world? The answers to these questions lie as much within the humanities as in the sciences. Problems as seemingly unrelated as our vulnerability to OPEC oil price hikes or a smog alert in Los Angeles or Tokyo often have common, hidden causes. One of these causes is simply the way our society sees its place...
