Boundaries, Extents and Circulations: Space and Spatiality in Early Modern Natural Philosophy
ISBN: 9783319410746 / Angielski / Twarda / 273 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume is an important re-evaluation of space and spatiality in the late Renaissance and early modern period.

The contributing chapters examine the period s staggering richness of spatiality: the geometrical, geographical, perceptual and elemental conceptualizations of space that abounded. The goal is to begin to reconstruct the amalgam of spaces which co-existed and cross-fertilized in the period s many disciplines and visions of nature....

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...

This book discusses several recent theoretic advancements in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary integration in the field of evolution.

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...
