Uncontrolled: The Surprising Payoff of Trial-And-Error for Business, Politics, and Society
ISBN: 9780465023240 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How do we know which social and economic policies work, which should be continued, and which should be changed? Jim Manzi argues that throughout history, various methods have been attempted--except for controlled experimentation. Experiments provide the feedback loop that allows us, in certain limited ways, to identify error in our beliefs as a first step to correcting them. Over the course of the first half of the twentieth century, scientists invented a methodology for executing controlled experiments to evaluate certain kinds of proposed social interventions. This technique goes by many...

Physics of the Prophecy: The Third Trumpet
ISBN: 9781453742204 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Physics is a branch of science which objectively observes nature, and qualitatively and quantitatively applies that information into logical theories and formulas. Yet many assume that the foundation and theories of physics are atheistic. In other words, that physics expounds upon both the foundation of this universe and proves the existence of the universe without God. However, all observations are based upon the human mind. And in order to communicate any theory or idea, they must be explained with symbols and language. And the symbols and language of physics are based upon numbers and...

Extraterrestrials - They are here. Now.: And they have been for quite a while! It is time to talk about them. And to them.

This book is for the thoughtful reader who is interested in knowing more about our place in the Universe and how we can start to play a part in our own evolution. Now that it is clear that there are many millions of habitable planets in our galaxy, we have to accept the implications that go along with the fact that we are very far from alone. It is also clear that if we are at all unique, it is only that we are the "new kids on the block," because our rise to sentience took place such a short time ago in cosmic terms. Since the first stars in the Milky Way formed a number of billions of years...

Is happiness really beyond reach?!
ISBN: 9781467976152 / Angielski / Miękka / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Having noted the absence of happiness in human life, a group of scholars began to look for a way to attain this happiness. They could put their hands on the core of happiness by means of physical laws, so that they could reach it by following such a set of laws However... Can worldly scientific laws, however great they may be, control happiness, make it surrender to them, and allow itself to be harnessed by their reins? Are they able to help people actually taste happiness, so that the earth will become a garden of paradise? How great this achievement would be, if only they could do it

The most disruptive force on the planet resides in DNA. Biotech companies and academic researchers are just beginning to unlock the potential of piecing together life from scratch. Champions of synthetic biology believe that turning genetic code into Lego-like blocks to build never-before-seen organisms could solve the thorniest challenges in medicine, energy, and environmental...

Framing Social Change Management in three Movements
ISBN: 9783836422338 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The field of conflict resolution is one of the main instruments for the management of social change. There are non-governmental organizations that practice conflict resolution in fractured communities but they do so as third-party interventionists. A model is hereby proposed where the feuding parties themselves become the NGO for sustaining the positive outcome of the third-party intervention.
The work toward sustainability is then reframed as an ethic of transfer to the indigenous parties that were hitherto in conflict. This reframing is performed with the praxis of formal grounded theory... The field of conflict resolution is one of the main instruments for the management of social change.

Exploring Inductive Risk: Case Studies of Values in Science
ISBN: 9780190467722 / Angielski / Miękka / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Science is the most reliable means available for understanding the world around us and our place in it. But, since science draws conclusions based on limited empirical evidence, there is always a chance that a scientific inference will be incorrect. That chance, known as inductive risk, is endemic to science. Though inductive risk has always been present in scientific practice, the role of values in responding to it has only recently gained extensive attention from philosophers, scientists, and policy-makers. Exploring Inductive Risk brings together a set of eleven concrete case...
