Book Description

The Darwinian theory of evolution is itself evolving and this book presents the details of the core of modern Darwinism and its latest developmental directions. The authors present current scientific work addressing theoretical problems and challenges in four sections, beginning with the concepts of evolution theory, its processes of variation, heredity, selection, adaptation and function, and its patterns of character, species, descent and life. The second part of this book scrutinizes Darwinism in the philosophy of science and its usefulness in understanding ecosystems, whilst the third section deals with its application in disciplines beyond the biological sciences, including evolutionary psychology and evolutionary economics, Darwinian morality and phylolinguistics. The final section addresses anti-Darwinism, the creationist view and issues around teaching evolution in secondary schools. The reader learns how current experimental biology is opening important perspectives on the sources of variation, and thus of the very power of natural selection. This work examines numerous examples of the extension of the principle of natural selection and provides the opportunity to critically reflect on a rich theory, on the methodological rigour that presides in its extensions and exportations, and on the necessity to measure its advantages and also its limits. Scholars interested in modern Darwinism and scientific research, its concepts, research programs and controversies will find this book an excellent read, and those considering how Darwinism might evolve, how it can apply to the human sciences and other disciplines beyond its origins will find it particularly valuable. Originally produced in French (Les Mondes Darwiniens), the scope and usefulness of the book have led to the production of this English text, to reach a wider audience. This book is a milestone in the impressive penetration by Francophone scholars into the world of Darwinian science, its historiography and philosophy over the last two decades. Alex Rosenberg, R. Taylor Cole Professor of Philosophy, Duke University Until now this useful and comprehensive handbook has only been available to francophones. Thanks to this invaluable new translation, this collection of insightful and original essays can reach the global audience it deserves. Tim Lewens, University of Cambridge

Book Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NATIONAL BESTSELLER In this urgent, singularly authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical--and accessible--plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid an irreversible climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help and guidance of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science and finance, he has focused on exactly what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide toward certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only gathers together all the information we need to fully grasp how important it is that we work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases but also details exactly what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. He describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions; where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively; where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions--suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but by following the guidelines he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

Meant to spark curiosity and creativity, this 150 page journal acts as a research and discovery guide, inviting students to collaborate with the assignments by choosing what they input. For example, the journal asks, "What do you want to learn about this continent?" Also, "Choose ten animals native to this continent and draw them." Another favorite, "Where would you like to visit in this continent?" And, so much more! While inviting the student into their own learning journey, this journal covers subjects such as history, geography, social studies, culture, travel, population, important landmarks, and current events. This journal was designed to be used alongside library books, parent-approved websites, documentaries, a map, an atlas, and supplies for creative writing and art. With a variety of topics to explore and multiple resources to choose from, fun-schooling is delight-directed, independent, and educational all at once. Does your student struggle with dyslexia, letter reversal, or reading confusion? This journal was printed with the award-winning Dyslexie font, created by Christian Boer to make reading simpler for dyslexic students. If your student has dyslexia, use this journal alongside Dyslexia Games. Visit www.DyslexiaGames.com and choose Series A for ages 5 to 8, or Series B for ages 8 to 12. Keep in mind, Dyslexia Games are excellent resources for all students, designed to engage the brain and encourage creative thinking. Here is what parents have to say about the Seven Amazing Continents Journal: "This, like most of The Thinking Tree books is a researched based book which requires you provide internet or other books to be able to fill out the worksheets in this book. I bought this book for our homeschool history/geography studies for the next school year. What I like about this book is that not only are you doing book research you are coloring, challenging the student to answer questions about the continents, and finding the beauty of the world. This book can be shared with our 4 homeschoolers which means we save money..." (read more about it at the end of the review). "It is very thorough and can be used with one student over an extended amount of time. Or it can be used in a group of students, especially with teaching multi-level homeschooling by dividing the pages between your various children and watching the movies, sharing books, etc. This book was created so that you can make multiple copies for only the children in your household which is a win-win if you're wanting to save money and do this all together."
