ISBN: 9780060841812 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. More than one hundred of the world's leading thinkers write about things they believe in, despite the absence of concrete proof Scientific theory, more often than not, is born of bold assumption, disparate bits of unconnected evidence, and educated leaps of faith. Some of the most potent beliefs among brilliant minds are based on supposition alone -- yet that is enough to push those minds toward making the theory viable. Eminent cultural impresario, editor, and publisher of Edge (www.edge.org), John Brockman asked a group of leading scientists and thinkers to answer...

Recently the movement known as Intelligent Design has attracted the attention of journalists, educators, and legislators. The scientific community is puzzled and saddened by this trend not only because it distorts modern biology, but also because it diverts people from the truly...

What Makes Biology Unique?: Considerations on the Autonomy of a Scientific Discipline
ISBN: 9780521700344 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection of revised and new essays argues that biology is an autonomous science rather than a branch of the physical sciences.

While the essays are not meant to be academic in a scientific sense, they contain a great deal of science. The book will...

The Origin of Species: By Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life
ISBN: 9780553214635 / Angielski / Miękka (mass market paperbound / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The publication of Darwin's The Origin of Species in 1859 marked a dramatic turning point in scientific thought. The volume had taken Darwin more than twenty years to publish, in part because he envisioned the storm of controversy it was certain to unleash. Indeed, selling out its first edition on its first day, The Origin of Species revolutionized science, philosophy, and theology. Darwin's reasoned, documented arguments carefully advance his theory of natural selection and his assertion that species were not created all at once by a divine hand but started with a few...

Project Genesis: Decoding the Universe
ISBN: 9780595344901 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The author stops at nothing as ludicrous. He would actually attempt to connect why he brushes his teeth in the morning to events that took place in the formation of the solar system billions of years ago. He may not be successful, or he may, it depends on what the reader believes. There is also a unique mathematical reference system that enables the reader to make his or her own calculations with ease.
