Humans have "subdued 75 percent of the land surface, concocted a wizardry of industrial and medical marvels, strung lights all across the darkness."

The Found and the Made: Science, Reason, and the Reality of Nature
ISBN: 9781412862509 / Angielski / Twarda / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book critically examines how mathematical modelling shapes and limits a scientific approach to the natural world and affects how society views nature. It questions concepts such as determinism, reversibility, equilibrium, and the isolated system, and challenges the view of physical reality as passive and inert. Dan Bruiger argues that if nature is real, it must transcend human representations. In particular, it can be expected to self-organize in ways that elude a mechanist treatment. This interdisciplinary study addresses several key areas: the "crisis" in modern physics and...

La teoria de Darwin de la evolucion se basa en hechos clave y e inferencias extraidas de los mismos, que el biologo Ernst Mayr resumio como sigue: Cada especie es suficientemente fertil para que si sobreviven todos los descendientes para reproducir la poblacion crecera. Aunque hay fluctuaciones periodicas, las poblaciones siguen siendo aproximadamente del mismo tamano. Los recursos como los alimentos son limitados y son relativamente estables en el tiempo. Sobreviene una lucha por la supervivencia. Los individuos de una poblacion varian considerablemente de unos a otros. Gran parte de esta...

Infested: How the Bed Bug Infiltrated Our Bedrooms and Took Over the World
ISBN: 9780226361086 / Angielski / Miękka / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bed bugs. Few words strike such fear in the minds of travelers. In cities around the world, lurking beneath the plush blankets of otherwise pristine-looking hotel beds are tiny bloodthirsty beasts just waiting for weary wanderers to surrender to a vulnerable slumber. Though bed bugs today have infested the globe, the common bed bug is not a new pest at all. Indeed, as Brooke Borel reveals in this unusual history, this most-reviled species may date back over 250,000 years, wreaking havoc on our collective psyche while even inspiring art, literature, and music--in addition to vexatious red...

Examen du livre de M. Darwin sur l'origine des espèces
ISBN: 9781519290458 / Francuski / Miękka / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. " M. Darwin vient de publier un livre sur l'Origine des especes. L'ingenieux et savant auteur pense que l'espece est muable. Malheureusement, il ne nous dit pas ce qu'il entend par espece, et ne se donne aucun caractere sur pour la definir. En second lieu, il voit tres-bien la variabilite de l'espece. Qui ne la voit pas ? Mais il ne voit pas la limite de cette variabilite; et c'est precisement ce qu'il fallait voir. Enfin l'auteur se sert partout d'un langage figure dont il ne se rend pas compte et qui le trompe, comme il a trompe tous ceux qui s'en sont servis. La est le vice radical du...
