Sharks of the World

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Steel, Rodney, PUBLISHER: ong>Factsong> on File, Ever since ong>theong> hit film Jaws, ong>theong> terrifying image of ong>theong> shark as a mindless killing machine has firmly imprinted itself on many of us.

On Creativity

On Creativity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bohm, David / Nichol, Lee, PUBLISHER: Routledge, David Bohm is widely recognized for his significant contributions to ong>theong> discussion on ong>theong> relationship between art and science. On Creativity is a collection of essays by Bohm, which are all related directly to ong>theong> nature of creativity - primarily ong>theong> latent creativity in ong>theong> human mind, but interestingly enough, to ong>theong> creativity in nature and ong>theong> universe at large as well. A significant portion of ong>theong> material draws overtly from Bohm's perceptions as a practising scientist - his notions of what underlies a paradigm shift, or how laws of nature, ong>theong>ories and hypoong>theong>ses are perceived, rationalized and axiomatized. However, ong>theong> novelty and appeal of Bohm's views of ong>theong>se processes is ong>theong> suggestion that ong>theong> work of ong>theong> visual artist is remarkably similar to that of ong>theong> scientist. He explores ong>theong>se similarities at length and even goes so far as to suggest that ong>theong> creative processes of ong>theong> scientist and ong>theong> artist are at work in every person. On Creativity is a fascinating read for Bohm aficionados and for those interested in exploring ong>theong> relation between creativity in art and science.

The edge of darkness

The edge of darkness

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chase, Mary Ellen, PUBLISHER: Norton, How ong>theong> mystery of ong>theong> Bible's greatest story shaped geology: a MacArthur Fellow presents a surprising perspective on Noah's Flood.In Tibet, geologist David R. Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking similarity to Noah's Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating ong>theong> world's flood stories and--drawing from historic works by ong>theong>ologians, natural philosophers, and scientists--discovered ong>theong> counterintuitive role Noah's Flood played in ong>theong> development of both geology and creationism. Steno, ong>theong> grandfaong>theong>r of geology, even invoked ong>theong> Flood in laying geology's founding principles based on his observations of norong>theong>rn Italian landscapes. Centuries later, ong>theong> founders of modern creationism based ong>theong>ir irrational view of a global flood on a perceptive critique of geology. With an explorer's eye and a refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. In ong>theong> process we discover ong>theong> illusive nature of truth, wheong>theong>r viewed through ong>theong> lens of science or religion, and how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.
