Communicating Popular Science: From Deficit to Democracy
ISBN: 9781349437139 / Angielski / Miękka / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Technoscientific developments often have far-reaching consequences, both negative and positive, for the public. Yet, because science has the authority to decide which judgments about scientific issues are sound, public concerns are often dismissed because they are not part of the technoscientific paradigm they question. This book addresses the role of science popularization in that paradox; it explains how science writing works and argues that it can do better at promoting public discussions about science-related issues. To support these arguments, it situates science popularization in its...

Evolution and Transitions in Complexity: The Science of Hierarchical Organization in Nature
ISBN: 9783319438016 / Angielski / Twarda / 295 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book discusses several recent theoretic advancements in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary integration in the field of evolution. While exploring novel views, the text maintains a close link with one of the most broadly held views on evolution, namely that of Darwinian evolution. This work puts forth a new point of view which allows researchers to define in detail the concept of evolution. To create this conceptual definition, the text applies a stringent object-based focus. With this focus, the editor has been able to develop an object-based pattern of evolution at the...

From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe (Hideyo Noguchi Lecture)
ISBN: 9781621389804 / Angielski / Miękka / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries a radical change occurred in the patterns and framework of European thought. In the wake of Copernican theory and discoveries through the telescope, the notion of an ordered cosmos of "fixed stars" gave way to that of a universe infinite in both time and space-with significant and far-reaching consequences for human thought. Alexandre Koyré brilliantly interprets this revolution in terms of the change that occurred in our conception of the universe and our place in it, and illustrates the primacy of this change in the development of the modern...

Narrative Visions of the Willowbrook State School: An Artistic Survey in Bioethics and Special Education
ISBN: 9780578181677 / Angielski / Twarda / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bioethics and special education have inextricably been connected to one another in the historical context and study of justice and universal civil rights in the American cultural landscape. These two areas have more in common than most people would have considered, symmetrically rooted in the egregious history affiliated with unethical and non-consensual human research experimentations conducted on children with intellectual disabilities. Historically, the Willowbrook State School (1947-1987), a state-supported institution for children with intellectual disabilities, once located in the...

From Natural History to the History of Nature: Readings from Buffon and His Critics
ISBN: 9780268159740 / Angielski / Miękka / 422 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This scholarly and conscientious book makes an important . . . contribution to the study and interpretation of Buffon, and so, too, to the Enlightenment generally. What Lyon and Sloan have done is present English texts under four headings, so that we have successively: a selection from Buffon's writings prior to the first (1749) volumes of his Histoire naturelle; pieces from these first volumes of 1749; immediate responses by the earliest critics, writing about the 1749 texts, and finally Herault de Sechelles' essay on Buffon, Voyage a Montbard. Much of the material is in translations made by...
