The Historiography of the First Russian Antarctic Expedition, 1819-21
ISBN: 9783030595487 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book looks at the different ways in which Russian historians and authors have thought about their country’s first Antarctic expedition (1819-21) over the past 200 years. It considers the effects their discussions have had on Russia’s Antarctic policy and may yet have on Antarctica itself. In particular, it examines the Soviet decision in 1949, in line with the cultural policies of late Stalinism, to revise the traditional view of the expedition in order to claim that it was Russian seamen that first sighted the Antarctic mainland in January 1820; this claim remains...

This book provides an up-to-date revision of materialism’s central tenets, its main varieties, and the place of materialistic philosophy vis a vis scientific knowledge.

But what is materialism and what can it offer today? The term is usually defined as the worldview according to which everything real is material. Nevertheless, there is no philosophical consensus about whether the meaning of matter can be enlarged beyond the...

The History and Evolution of the North American Wildlife Conservation Model
ISBN: 9783031061622 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explains how six policies collectively called the North American Wildlife Conservation Model (NAWCM), put in place around the turn of the twentieth century, saved numerous iconic big game species from extinction. Rigid adherence to the NAWCM, however, especially its ban on the commercial sale of wild game meat, has allowed deer and some other species to become overabundant pests in areas where hunting pressure recently declined and habitat rebounded. Texas and South Africa have proven that scientific insight and market incentives can combine to prevent game overabundance and...

Rethinking the Concept of Laws of Nature: Natural Order in the Light of Contemporary Science
ISBN: 9783030967741 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book subjects the traditional concept of law of nature to critical examination. There are two kinds of reasons that invite this reexamination, one deriving from philosophical concerns over the traditional concept, the other motivated by theoretical and practical changes in science. One of the philosophical worries is that the idiom of law of nature, especially when combined with the notion of laws 'governing' individual events and processes, is no longer as intelligible as it used to be in the theistic context in which the formulation of laws became central to science. The... This book subjects the traditional concept of law of nature to critical examination. There are two kinds of reasons that invite this re... |
