ISBN: 9783319330198 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

The emergence of online media provides not only new methods for collecting social science data, but also contexts for developing theory and conducting education in the arts as well as technology. Notably, role-playing games and virtual worlds naturally demonstrate many classical concepts about human behaviour, in ways that encourage innovative thinking. The inspiration derives from the internationally...

God from the Machine: Artificial Intelligence Models of Religious Cognition
ISBN: 9780759107434 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

ISBN: 9783319070513 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 1154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

ISBN: 9780742511873 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Can individual decisions concerning whether or where to attend church, to contribute time or money to religious organizations, or to forgo certain activities be explained as a special case of economic theory? In Sacred Markets, Sacred Canopies, Ted G. Jelen brings together the leading scholars in the sociology of religion to debate market theories of religion. As the contributors examine whether or not religious choices can be understood as responding to the same laws of supply and demand as other forms of consumer behavior, they bring out many of the issues, controversies, and concerns...
