God and Evolution
Written by Archbishop Józef Zycinski of Lublin, this book offers an important and insightful examination of the basic philosophical questions involved in the relation between evolutionary theory and the Christian religion.
The War That Never Was
One of the prevailing myths of modern intellectual and cultural history is that there has been a long-running war between science and religion, particularly over evolution. This book argues that what is mistaken as a war between science and religion is actually a pair of wars between other belligerents—one between evolutionists and anti-evolutionists and another between atheists and Christians. In neither of those wars can one align science with one side and religion or theology with the other. This book includes a review of the encounter of Christian theology with the pre-Darwinian rise of historical geology, an account of the origins of the warfare myth, and a careful discussion of the salient historical events on which the myth-makers rely—the Huxley-Wilberforce exchange, the Scopes Trial and the larger anti-evolutionist campaign in which it was embedded, and the more recent curriculum wars precipitated by the proponents of Creation Science and of Intelligent-Design Theory.
Estuarine Ecology
Estuaries are among the most biologically productive ecosystems on the planet--critical to the life cycles of fish, other aquatic animals, and the creatures which feed on them. Estuarine Ecology, Second Edition, covers the physical and chemical aspects of estuaries, the biology and ecology of key organisms, the flow of organic matter through estuaries, and human interactions, such as the environmental impact of fisheries on estuaries and the effects of global climate change on these important ecosystems. Authored by a team of world experts from the estuarine science community, this long-awaited, full-color edition includes new chapters covering phytoplankton, seagrasses, coastal marshes, mangroves, benthic algae, Integrated Coastal Zone Management techniques, and the effects of global climate change. It also features an entriely new section on estuarine ecosystem processes, trophic webs, ecosystem metabolism, and the interactions between estuaries and other ecosystems such as wetlands and marshes
Ethics, Killing and War
Richard Norman looks at issues concerning the justification for war and thereby examines the possibility and nature of rational moral argument.
Ethical Issues in Scientific Research
First published in 1994. This is Volume 2 of a selection of studies in Applied Ethics focusing on ethical issues in scientific research in aid to support students when applying ethics to their research training. courses The need for these courses expresses the recognition that the ethical dimensions of various types of scientific research greatly affect the general population and therefore require serious study and debate. This collection of essays addresses the major areas of moral debate regarding research: fraud and deception, controlled experiments on humans, animal and genetic research, IQ and military research. The essays collected here represent the best efforts to date of philosophers and scientists to grapple with these interesting and difficult issues.
Theistic Evolution
Deeply rooted in the classical tradition, this book develops a contemporary, re-imagined proposal of an Aristotelian-Thomistic perspective on theistic evolution.
Virtues of the Mind
This remarkable book is the first attempt to establish a theory of knowledge based on the model of virtue theory in ethics.
The Efficient Use of Quality Control Data
Accurate measurements in clinical and industrial testing are often not possible. Each measurement contains what can be regarded as containing an uncontrollable component of error. Their use to control quality therefore inevitably leads to right and wrong conclusions. This book describesmethods which can be used to control the frequency with which these occur. It describes recent developments which can be employed when very few control measurements can be taken due to limitations of cost or technical difficulty. The monograph begins by describing simple statistical decision ruleswhich were initially used to control the quality of industrial processes. These then form a basis on which to describe the concepts and practical consequences of the use of statistical quality control. Thereafter it proceeds to illustrate improvements in the property of decision rules which can beachieved with appropriate choices of control rule parameters, test statistics and methods of control which selectively utilise information contained in the test data which is indicating that a change in quality level has occurred.
