Science is the basis of our assumptions about ourselves and our world, from ideas about our evolutionary past to our conceptions of the vast expanses of space and the smallest particles of matter. In this panoramic book, acclaimed historian of science Peter Dear uncovers the roots of such beliefs, revealing how they constitute a natural philosophy that has been developed and refined over the course of centuries—and how the world as we have come to know it was by no means inevitable.

In Why Are We Like This? science journalist Zoe Kean takes us behind the scenes of the evolutionary paradoxes that make up life on this planet. Exploring with scientists, whether freezing in Tasmanian sleet or in a laboratory of sleeping sharks in North Queensland, we see how these evolutionary mysteries might just uncover the secrets of a better life for humans and the creatures we share the planet with.

In The Hundred Years' Trial, Alexander and Harold Gouzoules explore the century-long impacts of the historic 1925 Scopes "Monkey Trial," starting with the development of evolutionary theory and charting the resulting cultural and legal conflicts over evolution in the United States. Through a blend of legal history, scientific exploration, and cultural analysis, the authors reexamine how this landmark trial remains a pivotal moment in shaping modern debates on science, religion, and education.

This journey through time and space will inform a new generation of readers as well as those who read this book on first publication with a new perspective based on what we know now. A Short History of Nearly Everything 2.0 is the result of Bill Bryson's quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization – how we got from being nothing at all to what we are today.

ଏ ଯୁଗ ବିଜ୍ଞାନର ଯୁଗ! ଚାରିଶହ ବର୍ଷ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ବିଜ୍ଞାନ ଗୋଟିଏ ନୂଆ ପୃଥିବୀ ଗଢି ଦେଇଛି! ଟେକ୍ନୋଲୋଜି ବିଜ୍ଞାନ ନୁହେଁ! ବିଜ୍ଞାନର...

En el siglo XVIII, dos hombres de la misma edad (y caracteres opuestos) dedicaron sus vidas a la misma ardua tarea: identificar y describir toda la vida en la Tierra. Carl Linneo, un médico sueco muy devoto y con dotes de comerciante, consideró que la clasificación debía responder a categorías ordenadas y estáticas. Por el contrario, Georges-Louis de Buffon, aristócrata, polímata y director del Jardin du Roi de Francia, veía la vida como un remolino dinámico y complejo. Cada uno emprendió su trabajo consciente de las dificultades pero creyéndolo posible.

In this thought-provoking exploration, physicists Chris Ferrie and Geraint F. Lewis delve into the fundamental questions that have puzzled humanity for centuries. With clarity and precision, Ferrie and Lewis navigate the realms of quantum physics, relativity, and cosmology, providing accessible explanations that engage both novices and enthusiasts.

The Powerful Primate presents a compelling argument that flips the traditional view of humanity on its head. Rather than focusing solely on our intellectual abilities, author Roland Ennos argues it’s our physical power and engineering brilliance that have set us apart in the animal kingdom.

Renowned particle physicist Dr. Sarah Alam Malik, whose research into dark matter has brought her to the cutting edge of scientific advancement, explores our endeavors to understand the cosmos. From the ancient Greeks, who blended observation with philosophy, and the Islamic Empire, which made critical advancements in astronomy, to today’s research into quantum physics and extraterrestrial life, each generation has built on the cumulative knowledge of the civilizations before it.

All around us are ever-evolving strings of chain reactions, of bonds forged and broken, of connections made and unmade in less than the blink of an eye. In Chain Reaction , Professor Ijeoma Uchegbu dives into the chemistry that underpins our everyday existence.

هذا ليس كتابا في الخيال العلمي، ولكنه كتاب في العلم تتجاوز آفاقه الخيال. العلم سوف يمكننا من إعادة تشكيل الكون على النحو الذي يناسبنا، ولم لا؟ فإذا قُدِّر...

In three sweeping essays written for our current moment of scientific mistrust, Thomas Levenson searches for the origins of the most common arguments against vaccines: that they are unnatural; that they are more dangerous than the illnesses they claim to prevent; and that they are an affront to freedom.

Deeply researched, strikingly original, and beautifully written, The Power of Life shines a much-needed light on an underappreciated biologist whose radical ideas foretold a more inclusive, collaborative, and enlightened approach to science.

Was könnte da der Sinn des Lebens sein? Der Wissenschaftsinfluencer Tim Vollert hat darauf eine faszinierende Antwort, und die liegt in der Physik. Auf seiner spannenden Reise vom Urknall bis zum Kältetod des Universums erklärt er nicht nur die Physik des Kosmos, sondern auch die Biologie hinter der Entstehung des Lebens.

A mother kisses her child's scraped knee. A father embraces his long-lost son. A dog greets its owner with desperate joy. Every culture, every species, every corner of the living world engages in these intimate acts of connection. We've been told these are merely displays of affection. But what if there’s something more? WHAT IF A KISS IS MORE THAN JUST A KISS? For the first time in human history, we are starting to see the hidden force that builds life through connection—not because we discovered something new, but because we have broken something ancient.

What if the secrets of existence were hiding in plain sight—in shapes, spirals, and symmetry? 'Sacred Geometry: The Blueprint of Everything' is a journey through the invisible code behind the visible world. This book isn’t just about lines and patterns—it’s about unlocking the structures that build reality itself. From the infinite loop of the circle to the silent elegance of the Platonic Solids, JJ walks you through the visual grammar of creation.
