A History of the Centuries-Long Argument over What Makes Living Things Tick

de Jessica Riskin ...

A "wide-ranging, witty, and astonishingly learned" scientific and cultural history of the concept of the capacity to act in nature ( London Review of Books).Today, a scientific explanation is not meant to ascribe agency to natural phenomena: we would not say a rock falls because it seeks the center of the earth. Even for living things, in the natural sciences and often in the social sciences, the ... Leer más

Handbook of Algebra

Edición de M. Hazewinkel ...

Series Libro 6 - Handbook of Algebra
Algebra, as we know it today, consists of many different ideas, concepts and results. A reasonable estimate of the number of these different items would be somewhere between 50,000 and 200,000. Many of these have been named and many more could (and perhaps should) have a name or a convenient designation. Even the nonspecialist is likely to encounter most of these, either somewhere in the ... Leer más

The Tragic Sense of Life

Ernst Haeckel and the Struggle over Evolutionary Thought

de Robert J. Richards ...

Prior to the First World War, more people learned of evolutionary theory from the voluminous writings of Charles Darwin's foremost champion in Germany, Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919), than from any other source, including the writings of Darwin himself. But, with detractors ranging from paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould to modern-day creationists and advocates of intelligent design, Haeckel is better ... Leer más

How Science Was Done Before and After Global English

de Michael D. Gordin ...

English is the language of science today. No matter which languages you know, if you want your work seen, studied, and cited, you need to publish in English. But that hasn't always been the case. Though there was a time when Latin dominated the field, for centuries science has been a polyglot enterprise, conducted in a number of languages whose importance waxed and waned over time—until the rise ...

The Third Lens

Metaphor and the Creation of Modern Cell Biology

de Andrew S. Reynolds ...

Does science aim at providing an account of the world that is literally true or objectively true? Understanding the difference requires paying close attention to metaphor and its role in science. In The Third Lens, Andrew S. Reynolds argues that metaphors, like microscopes and other instruments, are a vital tool in the construction of scientific knowledge and explanations of how the world works. ... Leer más
