    A Very Short...

    A Very Short Introduction: Science and Religion

    Like NEW. Small size paperback, English.

    The debate between science and religion is never out of the news: emotions run high, fuelled by polemical bestsellers like The God Delusion and, at the other end of the spectrum, high-profile campaigns to teach 'Intelligent Design' in schools. Yet there is much more to the debate than the clash of these extremes. As Thomas Dixon shows in this balanced and thought-provoking introduction, many have seen harmony rather than conflict between faith and science. He explores not only the key philosophical questions that underlie the debate, but also the social, political, and ethical contexts that have made 'science and religion' such a fraught and interesting topic in the modern world, offering perspectives from non-Christian religions and examples from across the physical, biological, and social sciences.. Along the way, he examines landmark historical episodes such as the trial of Galileo by the Inquisition in 1633, and the famous debate between 'Darwin's bulldog' Thomas Huxley and Bishop Wilberforce in Oxford in 1860. The Scopes 'Monkey Trial' in Tennessee in 1925 and the Dover Area School Board case of 2005 are explained with reference to the interaction between religion, law, and education in modern America. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable

    Theories of Everything

    Theories of Everything

    Klein formaat paperback, rug boek is wat verkleurd, in goede staat. Engelstalig. In good condition. Text in English.

    The Holy Grail of modern scientists is “The Theory of Everything,” which will contain all that can be known about the Universe — the magic formula that Einstein spent his life searching for and failed to find. In this elegant and exciting book, first published in 1990, John Barrow challenges the quest for ultimate explanation. The New Scientist says of The Theory of Everything: [It is] “an exhilarating journey that cuts across a vast terrain of conceptual landmarks: from physics to metaphysics, mathematics to philosophy, and from mythology to theology . . . without a doubt an important, engaging and highly literate book.”
