Charles Darwin es, sin dudas, el arquitecto de la moderna biología evolutiva. Pero 'El origen de las especies' es mucho más que una teoría biológica: es un conjunto de principios que comportan un tremendo impacto filosófico más allá de los límites de la ciencia natural. Y, dado que las hipótesis de Darwin involucran a la humanidad, se hace necesario examinar minuciosamente sus implicaciones éticas y epistemológicas. Michael Ruse, autoridad mundialmente reconocida en la historia y en la filosofía del darwinismo, ofrece en esta obra el análisis definitivo de la naturaleza filosófica del pensamiento de Darwin, y de su impacto no solamente sobre las ciencias naturales sino también sobre las ciencias humanas. Con un lenguaje claro, desprovisto de tecnicismos, Ruse establece con precisión el estatuto del pensamiento evolucionista como una teoría genuina, las implicaciones filosóficas, epistemológicas y éticas del darwinismo, así como su impacto en las modernas explicaciones naturalistas de la religión, y discute muchos de los sentimientos y supuestos antidarwinistas expuestos por los creyentes del movimiento creacionista. "Este libro es una introducción sin igual para quien pretenda entender el darwinismo y sus implicaciones sobre la naturaleza, la naturaleza humana, el conocimiento, la moral y la religión." 'Richard A. Richards', University of Alabama "Michael Ruse es una superestrella entre los académicos interesados en Darwin y en el darwinismo. Si usted quiere el mejor cuadro pintado por un brillante académico, Ruse es la elección evidente." 'Joseph Cain', University College, Londres

Charles R. Darwin nació en 1809 y no hay duda de que ha sido uno de los científicos más influyentes de los siglos XIX y XX, fundamentalmente por su teoría evolucionista. La publicación de On the Origin of Species en 1859 y The Descent of Man en 1871 iniciaban una revolución científica que, no exenta de polémicas, tuvo un gran impacto no sólo en el ámbito de la investigación sino también en el conjunto de la sociedad. José María López Piñero nos presenta un libro de divulgación científica donde sintetiza la biografía y la obra de Darwin. Para situarla históricamente, está precedido por un breve resumen de la «escala de la naturaleza» y los estudios comparados anteriores. En la última parte del libro, nos acerca al «gran período darwinista», entre 1860 y 1900, y a su crisis, así como al darwinismo en Valencia.

A identificação dos Estados Unidos como império é comum na imprensa e no meio acadêmico. Porém, já no século 19, intérpretes adventistas tinham percebido esse potencial e relacionado a nação emergente às profecias apocalípticas. O objetivo deste livro é mostrar como o processo de fundação desse país provê importantes dados para iluminar a interpretação adventista de Apocalipse 13. Além disso, esclarece o atual panorama sociopolítico da nação e as perspectivas futuras. Esta leitura ajudará você a entender melhor a lógica das profecias bíblicas como revelações por parte do Deus verdadeiro que conhece e comanda a história.

Charles Darwin transformed our understanding of the universe and our place in it with his development of the theory of evolution. 150 years later, we are still puzzling over the implications. John Dupré presents a lucid, witty introduction to evolution and what it means for our view of humanity, the natural world, and religion. He explains the right and the wrong ways to understand evolution: in the latter category fall most of the claims of evolutionary psychology, of which Dupré gives a withering critique. He shows why the theory of evolution is one of the most important scientific ideas of all time, but makes clear that it can't explain everything - contrary to widespread popular belief, it has very little to tell us about the details of human nature and human behaviour, such as language, culture, and sexuality. Darwin's Legacy clears a path through the confusion and controversy surrounding evolution; anyone who is interested in understanding what the theory of evolution can and can't do will find this a compelling and enjoyable introduction.

With the publication in 1859 of On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, Charles Darwin established evolution by common descent as the dominant scientific explanation for nature's diversity. This was to be his gift to science and society; at last, we had an explanation for how life came to be on Earth. Scientists agree that the evolutionary origin of animals and plants is a scientific conclusion beyond reasonable doubt. They place it beside such established concepts as the roundness of the earth, its revolution around the sun, and the molecular composition of matter. That evolution has occurred, in other words, is a fact. Yet as we approach the bicentennial celebration of Darwin's birth, the world finds itself divided over the truth of evolutionary theory. Consistently endorsed as "good science" by experts and overwhelmingly accepted as fact by the scientific community, it is not always accepted by the public, and our schools continue to be battlegrounds for this conflict. From the Tennessee trial of a biology teacher who dared to teach Darwin's theory to his students in 1925 to Tammy Kitzmiller's 2005 battle to keep intelligent design out of the Dover district schools in Pennsylvania, it's clear that we need to cut through the propaganda to quell the cacophony of raging debate. With the publication of Darwin's Gift, a voice at once fresh and familiar brings a rational, measured perspective to the science of evolution. An acclaimed evolutionary biologist with a background in theology, Francisco Ayala offers clear explanations of the science, reviews the history that led us to ratify Darwin's theories, and ultimately provides a clear path for a confused and conflicted public.

In a globalized and networked world, where media crosses national borders, contributors reveal how transnational processes have shaped popular representations of scientific and religious ideas in the United Kingdom, Argentina, Ecuador, India, Spain, Turkey, Israel, and Japan. Most Adaptable to Change demonstrates the varied and divergent ways evolutionary ideas and nonscientific traditions and ways of understanding life on Earth have transformed across the globe. By examining a range of popular media forms across a multitude of different geopolitical contexts from the 1920s to today, this book traces how different evolutionary traditions and figures have been championed or discredited by different religious traditions, their spiritual leaders, and politicians using the cultural authority of religion as leverage. It analyzes the ways in which evolutionary theory has been mobilized explicitly for the purposes of addressing wider sociopolitical questions, and it is the first collection of its kind to explicitly explore the role of popular media formats themselves as mediators in institutional debates on the relationship between evolution and religion.

Charles Darwin cambió de forma radical e irreversible la visión que tenemos de nosotros mismos y de nuestro mundo, y puede decirse que su teoría de la evolución es uno de los mayores logros intelectuales de la historia de la humanidad. Este pequeño libro ofrece al lector una magnífica síntesis de la trayectoria vital y las teorías de Darwin, escrita por tres de las principales autoridades mundiales sobre su vida y su pensamiento. Lejos de perfilar una hagiografía intelectual del genial naturalista inglés, los autores presentan a un Darwin profusamente encarnado en la vida social, político-económica y religiosa de su tiempo.

I Twenty-five years ago, at the Conference on the Comparative Reception of Darwinism held at the University of Texas in 1972, only two countries of the Iberian world-Spain and Mexico-were represented.' At the time, it was apparent that the topic had attracted interest only as regarded the "mainstream" science countries of Western Europe, plus the United States. The Eurocentric bias of professional history of science was a fact. The sea change that subsequently occurred in the historiography of science makes 1972 appear something like the antediluvian era. Still, we would like to think that that meeting was prescient in looking beyond the mainstream science countries-as then perceived-in order to test the variation that ideas undergo as they pass from center to periphery. One thing that the comparative study of the reception of ideas makes abundantly clear, however, is the weakness of the center/periphery dichotomy from the perspective of the diffusion of scientific ideas. Catholics in mainstream countries, for example, did not handle evolution much better than did their corre1igionaries on the fringes. Conversely, Darwinians in Latin America were frequently better placed to advance Darwin's ideas in a social and political sense than were their fellow evolutionists on the Continent. The Texas meeting was also a marker in the comparative reception of scientific ideas, Darwinism aside. Although, by 1972, scientific institutions had been studied comparatively, there was no antecedent for the comparative history of scientific ideas.
