La cosmovisión de los grandes científicos del siglo XIX

Convicciones éticas, políticas, filosóficas o religiosas de los protagonistas del siglo de la ciencia

An impeccably researched debut, and an adventure through three centuries of scientific exploration. In 1741, naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller joins the Great Northern Expedition, as captain Vitus Bering and his crew scout out a sea route from Asia to America. Although they never reach the American mainland, they make a unique discovery, now known as Steller's sea cow. In 1859, Hampus Furuhjelm, the Finnish governor of the Russian territory of Alaska, sends his men to seek the skeleton of this massive marine mammal, rumoured to have vanished a hundred years before. In 1952, John Grönvall, a restorer at what is now the Finnish Museum of Natural History, is assigned the task of refurbishing the skeleton of Steller's sea cow, long since extinct. Approaching the subject of biodiversity through individual destinies, Beasts of the Sea is a story of grand human ambitions and the urge to resurrect what humankind, in its ignorance, has destroyed. Translated from the Finnish by David Hackston

A heartbreaking fictional elegy to one of the world's most iconic lost creatures, the Steller's Sea Cow

The Masters of History

Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 3

Davon, was es bedeutet, eine Zuflucht zu haben in der Welt 
Von der gefeierten Autorin von ¿Demon Copperhead¿: ein großer Roman über zwei Menschen, 150 Jahre voneinander entfernt, die sich auf ihre Weisen zurechtfinden müssen in einer aus den Fugen geratenen Welt.Alles scheint um Willa Knox zusammenzubrechen: Als freie Journalistin steht sie ohne Aufträge da. Ihr Mann Iano verliert seine Professur, Sohn Zeke, als Harvard-Absolvent der große Hoffnungsträger der Familie, ist gerade Vater geworden - aber alleinerziehend. Und ihr schwerkranker Schwiegervater schwärmt vom 'Megafon', dem republikanischen Präsidentschaftskandidaten.Am selben Fleck, 150 Jahre zuvor, freundet sich ein Lehrer namens Thatcher mit seiner eigenbrötlerischen Nachbarin an. Die Naturforscherin Mary Treat steht in lebhaftem Austausch mit Charles Darwin, doch in der verschworenen Ortsgemeinschaft wird die Theorie von der Evolution als Sünde angeprangert.Was verbindet diese Menschen über die Jahrhunderte hinweg? Ein viktorianisches Haus, das ihnen über dem Kopf einzustürzen droht - und eine Zeit, in der damals wie heute kein Stein auf dem anderen bleibt.&nbsp;Warmherzig, humorvoll und zutiefst menschlich erzählt Barbara Kingsolver von den Verwerfungen der Gegenwart, in denen gespenstisch vertraut die Vergangenheit anklingt. 
Übersetzt von Dirk van Gunsteren 
'Ein lebendig wimmelndes Haus der Literatur, raffiniert und fesselnd.' Meg Wolitzer'Von enormer Aktualität, schmerzhaft vertraut und hinreißend geschrieben.'

The Invention of Nature

Thomas von Aquin und Charles Darwin in einem anregenden Dialog?
Wo, wenn nicht im Himmel, sollte dieses außergewöhnliche Gespräch stattfinden!
Denn es gilt sieben Jahrhunderte zu überbrücken, die das Leben der beiden Gelehrten voneinander trennen. 
Anlässlich des dreifachen Jubiläums von Thomas - 700 Jahre Heiligsprechung, 750. Todestag und 800. Geburtstag - freut sich der katholische Philosoph sein Denken mit dem Naturwissenschaftler Darwin zu diskutieren. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage nach der Vereinbarkeit von Wissenschaft und Glaube. Die himmlische Debatte endet mit einer Vision von dem, "was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält".

Thomas von Aquin im Gespräch mit Charles Darwin

Was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält

"The astonishing story of palmistry-from occultists to the very foundations of modern science and medicine. Why did Isaac Newton read books on chiromancy, the occult science of hand reading that revealed the secrets of the soul? Why did Charles Darwin claim that the hand gave humans dominion over all other species? Why did psychoanalyst Charlotte Wolff climb into the primate cages of the London Zoo, taking hundreds of delicate palm prints? Why did Francis Galton, the father of fingerprinting, take palm prints too? And why did world-leading geneticists study the geometry of palm lines in their search for the secrets of chromosomal syndromes? Decoding the Hand is an astounding history of magic, medicine, and science, of an enduring search for how our bodily surfaces might reveal an inner self-a soul, a character, an identity. From sixteenth-century occult physicians influenced by the Kabbalah to twentieth-century geneticists, and from criminologists to eugenicists, award-winning historian Alison Bashford takes us on a remarkable journey into the strange world of hand readers, revealing how signs on the hand-their shape, lines, marks, and patterns-have been elaborately decoded over the centuries. Sometimes learned, sometimes outrageously deceptive, sometimes earnest, and more often than we ever expected, medically and scientifically trained, these palm-readers of the past prove to be essential links in the human quest to peer into bodies, souls, minds, and selves. Not only for fortune-telling palmists were the future and the past, health, and character laid bare in the hand, but for other experts in bodies and minds as well: anatomists, psychiatrists, embryologists, primatologists, evolutionary biologists, geneticists, and more. Drawing telling parallels between the divination promised by palmistry and the appeal to self-knowledge offered by modern genetic testing, Decoding the Hand also makes clear that palm-reading is far from a relic or simple charlatanism. Bashford's sagacious history of human hands touching and connecting opens wide the essential human pursuit of what lies within and beyond"--

A History of Science, Medicine, and Magic

Decoding the Hand

In his new book, acclaimed science writer Matt Ridley looks to the peculiar mating rituals of birds to better understand the rich origins and ongoing significance of Darwin's sexual selection theory.'FASCINATING' The Times'Matt Ridley is one of our finest science writers ... A treat for bird lovers and evolutionary biologists alike' Richard DawkinsAnimals rarely treat sex as a simple or mutually beneficial transaction. Choosing a mate is often a transcendent event to be approached with reverence, suspicion, angst and quite a bit of violence. For Matt Ridley, nowhere is this more acute than in birds.From a freezing hide on the Pennine moors at dawn, Ridley closely studies the rare Black Grouse. He is there for the lek - an elaborate courtship ritual of squabbling and strutting males. They dance and sing for hours each day to attract a mate over several months. With most males leaving exhausted and unsuccessful, Ridley looks at how females make their choice to cast fresh light on how such rituals have evolved and why.His pursuit follows five generations of biologists from Darwin and Wallace to the present day, uncovering how they have grappled with the implications of sexual selection as an eccentric, gonzo form of evolution. While most Victorian scientists found it impossible to believe female birds could select mates, Darwin was obsessed with the idea of sexual as well as natural selection.Drawing on his own lifelong passion, Ridley eavesdrops on the elaborate displays of bird species around the world, from the complex art installations made by Bowerbirds in Australia to the bubbling calls of Curlews in the UK's declining moorlands. In a wonderful blend of nature writing and elegant exploration of recent evolutionary theory, Birds, Sex and Beauty shows not only how mate choice has shaped the natural world, including humans, but how the song and plumage of birds can be thrillingly, breathtakingly beautiful.'Clear and entertaining ... Ridley explains all this history with lucidity and wit'New Statesman'Most of this fascinating and accessible book is about birds ... Ridley, very clearly, loves birds - and the enthusiasm is infectious'The Times'This is a fascinating story told with wit, scholarship and the passion of a true conversationist. Lord Ridley writes in the best tradition of great British naturalists' Country Life'Birds, Sex &amp; Beauty is a good read. It is a compelling history of sexual selection, rather than a synthesis that moves the field forwards'Nature
