The Comparative Reception of Darwinism
ISBN: 9780226299778 / Angielski / Miękka / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The reaction to Darwin's "Origin of Species" varied in many countries according to the roles played by national scientific institutions and traditions and the attitudes of religious and political groups. The contributors to this volume, including M. J. S. Hodge, David Hull, and Roberto Moreno, gathered in 1972 at an international conference on the comparative reception of Darwinism. Their essays look at early pro- and anti-Darwinism arguments, and three additional comparative essays and appendices add a larger perspective. For this paperback edition, Thomas F. Glick has added a new preface...

Evolutionary Ethics: Volume III
ISBN: 9780754627586 / Angielski / Twarda / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Might human morality be a product of evolution? An increasing number of philosophers and scientists believe that moral judgment and behaviour emerged because it enhanced the fitness of our distant ancestors. This volume collects some recent explorations of the evidence for this claim, as well as papers examining its implications. Is an evolved morality a genuine morality? Does an evolutionary origin deflate the pretensions of morality, or strip it of its force in guiding behaviour? Is an evolutionary approach compatible with realism about morality? All sides of these debates are represented...

Philosophy of Evolutionary Biology: Volume I
ISBN: 9780754627531 / Angielski / Twarda / 616 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The impact of evolutionary theory on the philosophy of science has been no less profound than its impact on the science of biology itself. Advances in this theory provide a rich set of examples for thinking about the nature of scientific explanation and the structure of science. Many of the developments in our understanding of evolution resulted from contributions by both philosophers and biologists engaging over theoretical questions of mutual interest. This volume traces some of the most influential exchanges in this field over the last few decades. Focal topics include the nature of...

Evolutionary Psychology: Volume II
ISBN: 9780754627555 / Angielski / Twarda / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Evolutionary approaches to the study of human beings have been able to explain the origin and maintenance of many of the features of our bodies. Many thinkers believe that an evolutionary approach will be equally fruitful when it comes to explaining the features of our minds. Since our behaviour is driven by our minds, our cognitive dispositions and processes are likely to have been a target of selection and adaptation. This volume collects recent prominent explorations of this theme, as well as the voices of dissenters who argue that our minds are far more significantly the product of...

The Evolution of Culture: Volume IV
ISBN: 9780754627616 / Angielski / Twarda / 538 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent years have seen a transformation in thinking about the nature of culture. Rather than viewing culture in opposition to biology, a growing number of researchers now regard culture as subject to evolutionary processes. Recent developments in this field have shifted some of the traditional academic fault lines. Alliances are forming between researchers trained in anthropology, evolutionary biology, psychology and philosophy. Meanwhile, several distinct schools of thought have appeared which differ in their vision of what an evolutionary approach to culture should look like. This volume...

Lives of the Brain: Human Evolution and the Organ of Mind
ISBN: 9780674064058 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Though we have other distinguishing characteristics (walking on two legs, for instance, and relative hairlessness), the brain and the behavior it produces are what truly set us apart from the other apes and primates. And how this three-pound organ composed of water, fat, and protein turned a mammal species into the dominant animal on earth today is the story John S. Allen seeks to tell. Adopting what he calls a "bottom-up" approach to the evolution of human behavior, Allen considers the brain as a biological organ; a collection of genes, cells, and tissues that grows, eats, and ages,...

Dinosaurs, Diamonds, and Things from Outer Space: The Great Extinction
ISBN: 9780804723923 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text explains why most life on earth perished 65 million years ago. Intended for a broad audience, the book should also be of great interest to scientists - most of whom now agree that an object from outer space hit the earth with unimaginable force 65 million years ago. But what kind of object? Carlisle's scenario suggests that the event was a complex sequence, beginning with a nearby star turning supernova. The first effect of this on earth was the arrival of massive radiation, ten or 20 times the heat of the sun, igniting worldwide forest fires. The blast also perturbed the cloud of...

The Mass-Extinction Debates: How Science Works in a Crisis
ISBN: 9780804722858 / Angielski / Twarda / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is the first to examine the arguments and behavior of the scientists who have been locked in conflict for a decade over two competing hypotheses for the cause of the mass extinction, some 65 million years ago, of most of life on earth, including the dinosaurs. These papers - by historians, sociologists, philosophers, and participating scientists - provide an exceptional opportunity to observe firsthand the workings of science that in quieter times are hidden from view. The book concludes with an overarching discussion by a balanced panel of embattled scientists and scholars.

ISBN: 9781108022989 / Angielski / Miękka / 492 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707 1788) was a French mathematician who was considered one of the leading naturalists of the Enlightenment.

Animal Evolution: Interrelationships of the Living Phyla
ISBN: 9780199606023 / Angielski / Twarda / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Animal Evolution provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolutionary interrelationships and myriad diversity of the Animal Kingdom. It reviews the classical, morphological information from structure and embryology, as well as the new data gained from studies using immune stainings of nerves and muscles and blastomere markings which makes it possible to follow the fate of single blastomeres all the way to early organogenesis. Until recently, the information from analyses of gene sequences has tended to produce myriads of quite diverging trees. However, the latest generation of molecular...

Evolution Challenges: Integrating Research and Practice in Teaching and Learning about Evolution
ISBN: 9780199730421 / Angielski / Twarda / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A recent poll revealed that one in four Americans believe in both creationism and evolution, while another 41% believe that creationism is true and evolution is false. A minority (only 13%) believe only in evolution. Given the widespread resistance to the idea that humans and other animals have evolved and given the attention to the ongoing debate of what should be taught in public schools, issues related to the teaching and learning of evolution are quite timely. Evolution Challenges: Integrating Research and Practice in Teaching and Learning about Evolution goes beyond the...
