This fascinating study is a profound effort to understand one of the twentieth century's great enigmasdigging deep into the archival record among formerly secret technical reports, rose establishes that heisenberg never overcame certain misconceptions about nuclear fission, and as a result the german leaders never pushed for atomic weaponswhat precisely did heisenberg know about the physics of the atomic bomb? how deep was his loyalty to the german government during the third reich? assuming that he had been able to build a bomb, would he have been willing? these questions, the moral and the scientific, are answered by paul lawrence rose with greater accuracy and breadth of documentation than any other historian has yet achievedhe began at once to construct an image of himself as a "pure" scientist who could have built a bomb but chose to work on reactor design insteadthe question of why he did, and why he misrepresented himself afterwards, is answered through rose's subtle analysis of german mentality and the scientists' problems of delusion and self-delusiononly when he and his colleagues were interned in england and heard about hiroshima did heisenberg realize that his calculations were wrongthis was fiction, as rose demonstrates: in reality, heisenberg blindly supported and justified the cause of german victoryoxfam shop kendal very good condition hardback with minimal wearno one better represents the plight and the conduct of german intellectuals under hitler than werner heisenberg, whose task it was to build an atomic bomb for nazi germanythe controversy surrounding heisenberg still rages, because of the nature of his work and the regime for which it was undertakenin fact, heisenberg never had to face the moral problem of whether he should design a bomb for the nazi regimesee oxfam website for delivery information read more

It pioneered the connections between phenomenology and science and between buddhist practices and science-claims that have since become highly influentialthis classic book, first published in , was one of the first to propose the "embodied cognition" approach in cognitive scienceoxfam bookshop preston a new edition of a classic work that originated the "embodied cognition" movement and was one of the first to link science and buddhist practicesthrough this cross-fertilization of disparate fields of study, the embodied mind introduced a new form of cognitive science called "enaction," in which both the environment and first person experience are aspects of embodimentalthough enacted cognition lacks an absolute foundation, the book shows how that does not lead to either experiential or philosophical nihilismabove all, the book's arguments were powered by the conviction that the sciences of mind must encompass lived human experience and the possibilities for transformation inherent in human experiencea preface by jon kabat-zinn, the originator of the mindfulness-based stress reduction program, contextualizes the book and describes its influence on his life and worksee oxfam website for delivery information read morethis revised edition includes substantive introductions by evan thompson and eleanor rosch that clarify central arguments of the work and discuss and evaluate subsequent research that has expanded on the themes of the book, including the renewed theoretical and practical interest in buddhism and mindfulnesshowever, enactive embodiment is not the grasping of an independent, outside world by a brain, a mind, or a self; rather it is the bringing forth of an interdependent world in and through embodied action

The book shows that the investigation of the border zone of life sciences and agriculture raises many interesting questions about how science developsoxfam books & music crouch end this volume explores problems in the history of science at the intersection of life sciences and agriculture, from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-twentieth centurywithout close attention to this zone it is not possible to understand the emergence of new disciplines and transformation of old disciplines, to evaluate the role and impact of such major figures of science as humboldt and mendel, or to appreciate how much of the history of modern biology has been driven by national ambitions and imperialist expansion in competition with rival nationstaking a comparative national perspective, the book examines agricultural practices in a broad sense, including the practices and disciplines devoted to land management, forestry, soil science, and the improvement and management of crops and livestockthe life sciences considered include genetics, microbiology, ecology, entomology, forestry, and deal with us, european, russian, japanese, indonesian, chinese contextsin particular it challenges one to re-examine and take seriously the intimate connection between scientific development and the practical goals of managing and improving - perhaps even recreating - the living world to serve human endssee oxfam website for delivery information read more

" french philosopher of science michel serres states that girard's theory provides a darwinian theory of culture because it "proposes a dynamic, shows an evolution and gives a universal explanationequally, girard's theory is presented as having the potential to become for the human and social sciences something akin to the integrating framework that present-day biological science owes to darwin-something compatible with it and complementary to it in accounting for the still remarkably little understood phenomenon of human emergenceoxfam books & music lancaster from his groundbreaking violence and the sacred and things hidden since the foundation of the world, rené girard's mimetic theory is presented as elucidating "the origins of culturejoining disciplinary worlds, this book aims to explore this ambitious claim, invoking viewpoints as diverse as evolutionary culture theory, cultural anthropology, archaeology, cognitive psychology, ethology, and philosophythe contributors provide major evidence in favor of girard's hypothesis" he posits that archaic religion (or "the sacred"), particularly in its dynamics of sacrifice and ritual, is a neglected and major key to unlocking the enigma of "how we became human" this major claim has, however, remained underscrutinized by scholars working on girard's theory, and it is mostly overlooked within the natural and social sciencessee oxfam website for delivery information read more
