Jerry a coyne (225 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. The proof for evolution is vast, varied, and magnificent, drawn from many different fields of scientific inquiry. Today, scientists are documenting species splitting into two, observing animals and plants adapting before our eyes, and finding more and more fossils capturing what happened eons ago--dinosaurs that have sprouted feathers, fish that have grown limbs. In this unique and accessible summary of the facts supporting the theory of natural selection, Jerry A. Coyne eloquently shows that evolution does nothing to destroy the beauty of life, only enhances it. By demonstrating the indelible stamp of the processes first proposed by Darwin, Coyne does not aim to prove creationism wrong. Rather, by using irrefutable evidence, he sets out to prove evolution right. Coyne is as graceful a stylist and as clear a scientific explainer as Darwin himself (no mean feat) . . . One of the best single-volume introductions to evolutionary theory ever. --Wired.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. ?A superbly argued book.? ?Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion  The New York Times bestselling author of Why Evolution is True explains why any attempt to make religion compatible with science is doomed to fail   In this provocative book, evolutionary biologist Jerry A. Coyne lays out in clear, dispassionate detail why the toolkit of science, based on reason and empirical study, is reliable, while that of religion?including faith, dogma, and revelation?leads to incorrect, untestable, or conflicting conclusions.   Coyne is responding to a national climate in which more than half of Americans don?t believe in evolution, members of Congress deny global warming, and long-conquered childhood diseases are reappearing because of religious objections to inoculation, and he warns that religious prejudices in politics, education, medicine, and social policy are on the rise. Extending the bestselling works of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens, he demolishes the claims of religion to provide verifiable ?truth? by subjecting those claims to the same tests we use to establish truth in science.   Coyne irrefutably demonstrates the grave harm?to individuals and to our planet?in mistaking faith for fact in making the most important decisions about the world we live in.Praise for Faith Versus Fact: ?A profound and lovely book . . . showing that the honest doubts of science are better . . . than the false certainties of religion.? ?Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith.…
