Online Worlds: Convergence of the Real and the Virtual
ISBN: 9781848828247 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. William Sims Bainbridge Virtual worlds are persistent online computer-generated environments where people can interact, whether for work or play, in a manner comparable to the real world. The most prominent current example is World of Warcraft (Corneliussen and Rettberg 2008), a massively multiplayer online game with 11 million s- scribers. Some other virtual worlds, notably Second Life (Rymaszewski et al. 2007), are not games at all, but Internet-based collaboration contexts in which people can create virtual objects, simulated architecture, and working groups. Although interest in virtual...

ISBN: 9780739116784 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Across the Secular Abyss explains the cultural chasm we currently face, with a traditional religion-based society behind us, and an as-yet unknown secular society ahead. For over a century, scholars, social scientists, and policy makers have debated the apparent erosion of religious faith and wondered whether Western Civilization was turning its back on religion. Today, the issue has reached a crisis point. In the U.S., a new battle between faith and science has erupted within educational institutions, as political polarization progressively divides the country along religious lines. After a...

Handbook of Science and Technology Convergence
ISBN: 9783319070513 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 1154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Scientists and engineers have long been aware of the tension between narrow specialization and multidisciplinary cooperation, but now a major transformation is in process that will require technical fields to combine far more effectively than formerly in the service of human benefit. This handbook will catalog all the ways this can be accomplished and the reasons it must be. Nature is a single coherent system and diverse methods of scientific and engineering investigations should reflect this interlinked and dynamic unity. Accordingly, general concepts and ideas should be developed...

God from the Machine: Artificial Intelligence Models of Religious Cognition
ISBN: 9780759107441 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "God from the machine" (deus ex machina) refers to an ancient dramatic device where a god was mechanically brought onto the stage to save the hero from a difficult situation. But here, William Sims Bainbridge uses the term in a strikingly different way. Instead of looking to a machine to deliver an already known god, he asks what a computing machine and its simulations might teach us about how religion and religious beliefs come to being. Bainbridge posits the virtual town of Cyburg, population 44,100. Then, using rules for individual and social behavior taken from the social sciences, he...
