Even the Stones Cry Out: The Three Hypotheses Relating the Bible, Science and the Nature of Reality
ISBN: 9781492374251 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What do Israel, the Jews and End Time prophecies have to do with quantum physics, cosmology and biology? In the Age of Technology, everything takes on a astonishing new look. That includes the universe and all life in it. When looked at through this oddly modern perspective, life, the laws of physics and even "End Time Prophecies" dovetail neatly together to show a created world in which a larger scenario is playing out, one foretold from antiquity by the Bible. This book will take you through the surprising details, which effectively reframe the discussion about evolution and whether or not...

The Improbable Primate: How Water Shaped Human Evolution
ISBN: 9780199658794 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Improbable Primate, Clive Finlayson takes an ecological approach to our evolution, considering the origins of modern humans within the context of a drying climate and changing landscapes. Finlayson argues that environmental change, particularly availability of water, played a critical role in shaping the direction of human evolution, contributing to our spread and success. He asserts that our ancestors carved a niche for themselves by leaving the forest and forcing their way into a long-established community of carnivores in a tropical savannah as climate changes opened up the...

Darwin's on the Origin of Species: A Modern Rendition
ISBN: 9780253011701 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charles Darwin's most famous book On the Origin of Species is without question, one of the most important books ever written. While even the grandest works of Victorian English can prove difficult to modern readers, Darwin wrote his text in haste and under intense pressure. For an era in which Darwin is more talked about than read, Daniel Duzdevich offers a clear, modern English rendering of Darwin's first edition. Neither an abridgement nor a summary, this version might best be described as a "translation" for contemporary English readers. A monument to reasoned insight, the Origin...

Scatter, Adapt, and Remember: How Humans Will Survive a Mass Extinction
ISBN: 9780307949424 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A" Los Angeles Times" Book Prize Finalist in Science & Technology
In its 4.5 billion-year history, life on Earth has been almost erased at least half a dozen times: shattered by asteroid impacts, entombed in ice, smothered by methane, and torn apart by unfathomably powerful megavolcanoes. And we know that another global disaster is eventually headed our way. Can we survive it? How? In this brilliantly speculative work of popular science, Annalee Newitz, editor of io9.com, explains that although global disaster is all but inevitable, our chances of long-term species survival are better...

The Drunken Monkey: Why We Drink and Abuse Alcohol
ISBN: 9780520275690 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Alcoholism, as opposed to the safe consumption of alcohol, remains a major public health issue. In this accessible book, Robert Dudley presents an intriguing evolutionary interpretation to explain the persistence of alcohol-related problems. Providing a deep-time, interdisciplinary perspective on today s patterns of alcohol consumption and abuse, Dudley traces the link between the fruit-eating behavior of arboreal primates and the evolution of the sensory skills required to identify ripe and fermented fruits that contain sugar and low levels of alcohol. In addition to introducing this new...

Interfaces in Microbial Ecology
ISBN: 9780674423336 / Angielski / Twarda / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Natural microbial habitats include various interfaces--liquid-liquid, gas-liquid, solid-liquid, and solid-gas. An interface, the boundary between two phases, has physical and chemical properties that differ from those of either phase. Bacteria, yeasts, and algae often concentrate at interfaces, and the ability of microorganisms to exploit resources in their environment may be markedly affected by the nature of the available interfaces. Included within the realm of microbial activity at interfaces are such wide-ranging topics as predator-prey relations, tooth decay, gastrointestinal tract...

Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Evolutionary Synthesis
ISBN: 9780674865372 / Angielski / Twarda / 498 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Biology was forged into a single, coherent science only within living memory. In this volume the thinkers responsible for the "modern synthesis" of evolutionary biology and genetics come together to analyze that remarkable event. In a new Preface, Ernst Mayr calls attention to the fact that scientists in different biological disciplines varied considerably in their degree of acceptance of Darwin's theories. Mayr shows us that these differences were played out in four separate periods: 1859 to 1899, 1900 to 1915, 1916 to 1936, and 1937 to 1947. He thus enables us to understand fully...

What is Evolution?

The U.S. Court System has witnessed seemingly endless litigation over this topic, yet does not have a concise and scientifically agreed upon definition. Public schools are required to teach evolution, yet does not have a concise and scientifically agreed upon definition. The National Academy of Sciences supports evolution, yet it too does not have a concise and scientifically agreed upon definition. This reality has placed the future of science at risk. How logical is it for our nation's educational framework to require biological evolution, but not...

Ecological Developmental Biology: The Environmental Regulation of Development, Health, and Evolution
ISBN: 9781605353449 / Angielski / Miękka / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The revolution in molecular technologies has created a revolution in our perception of the living world. It is life, but not as we knew it. Symbiosis, once thought the exception to the rules of life, is now recognized as a signature of life, including its development and evolution. We function, develop, and possibly evolve as consortia. Developmental plasticity has transformed our ways of relating the genome to both the organism and its environment, showing that the environment can instruct, as well as select, phenotypes. Environmentally induced modifications of the genome (epialleles) can be...
