Tinkerer's Accomplice: How Design Emerges from Life Itself
ISBN: 9780674057531 / Angielski / Miękka / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most people, when they contemplate the living world, conclude that it is a designed place. So it is jarring when biologists come along and say this is all wrong. What most people see as design, they say--purposeful, directed, even intelligent--is only an illusion, something cooked up in a mind that is eager to see purpose where none exists. In these days of increasingly assertive challenges to Darwinism, the question becomes acute: is our perception of design simply a mental figment, or is there something deeper at work? Physiologist Scott Turner argues eloquently and convincingly... Most people, when they contemplate the living world, conclude that it is a designed place.

The Autobiography of Charles Darwin
ISBN: 9781438595023 / Angielski / Miękka / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charles Darwin (1809 - 1882) was a British naturalist whose theory or evolution by natural selection became the basis of modern theories of evolution. Darwin shocked the Victorians by suggesting that humans and animals shared the same ancestry. The Origin of Species is his most famous work. His five-year voyage on HMS Beagle established him as an eminent geologist whose observations and theories supported Charles Lyell's uniformitarian ideas, and publication of his journal of the voyage made Darwin famous as a popular author.

Oxygen and the Evolution of Life
ISBN: 9783642131783 / Angielski / Twarda / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book describes the interlaced histories of life and oxygen. It opens with the generation of oxygen in ancient stars and its distribution to newly formed planets like the Earth. Free O2 was not available on the early Earth, so the first life forms had to be anaerobic. Life introduced free O2 into the environment through the evolution of photosynthesis, which must have been a disaster for many anaerobes. Others found ways to deal with the toxic reactive oxygen species and even developed a much more efficient oxygen-based metabolism. The authors vividly describe how the introduction of O2...

Modular Evolution
ISBN: 9780521429641 / Angielski / Twarda / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Natural selection is more than the survival of the fittest: it is a force engendering higher biological complexity. Presenting a new explanation for the tendency of life to become more complex through evolution, this book offers an introduction to the key debates in evolutionary theory, including the role of genes and sex in evolution, the adaptive reasons for senescence and death and the origin of neural information. The author argues that biological complexity increased through the process of modularity transfer': modular phenotypes (proteins, somatic cells, learned behaviours) evolved into...
