![]() ![]() Author: Coyne Jerry A. Publisher: Penguin Group USA The New York Times bestselling author explains why any attempt to make religion compatible with science is doomed to fail In this provocative book, evolutionary biologist Jerry A. Coyne lays out in clear, dispassionate detail why the toolkit of science, based on reason and empirical study, is reliable, while that of religion—including faith, dogma, and revelation—leads to incorrect, untestable, or conflicting conclusions. Coyne is responding to a national climate in which more than half of Americans don’t believe in evolution, members of Congress deny global warming, and long-conquered childhood diseases are reappearing because of religious objections to inoculation, and he warns that religious prejudices in politics, education, medicine, and social policy are on the rise. Extending the bestselling works of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens, he demolishes the claims of religion to provide verifiable “truth” by subjecting those claims to the same tests we use to establish truth in science. Coyne irrefutably demonstrates the grave harm—to individuals and to our planet—in mistaking faith for fact in making the most important decisions about the world we live in. Praise for Faith Versus Fact: “It’s hard to see how any reasonable person can resist the conclusions of [this] superbly argued book.” —Richard Dawkins, author ofThe God Delusion “A profound and lovely book . . . showing that the honest doubts of science are better . . . than the false certainties of religion.” —Sam Harris, author ofThe End of Faith € 16,10

![]() ![]() Author: Coyne Jerry A. Publisher: Nessun dogma Nonostante quanto sostengono molti opinionisti (spesso interessati), religione e scienza entrano in competizione sotto molti aspetti: entrambe fanno infatti 'affermazioni di esistenza' su ciò che è reale. Per raggiungere lo scopo usano però strumenti molto differenti. La tesi centrale di questo libro, scritto da un biologo evoluzionista, è che l'insieme di attrezzi di cui si serve la scienza, basato sulla ragione e lo studio empirico, è affidabile. Al contrario quello della religione - comprendente la fede, il dogma e la rivelazione - è invece inaffidabile e porta a conclusioni scorrette, non verificabili o contrastanti. Anzi, facendo affidamento sulla fede invece che sulle prove, è la religione stessa la causa della sua incapacità di trovare la verità. Benché la contrapposizione tra scienza e religione sia parte del più ampio conflitto tra razionalità e irrazionalità, il tema è sempre attuale e di eccezionale importanza. Perché troppo spesso, dall'educazione alla sanità, le istituzioni antepongono la fede ai fatti. Rigoroso e documentato, 'O scienza o religione' dimostra implacabilmente come, così facendo, le persone, la società e l'intero pianeta corrono un gravissimo pericolo. € 22,00

![]() ![]() Author: Coyne Jerry A., Bevine Victor (NRT) Publisher: Brilliance Audio The proof for evolution is vast, varied, and magnificent, drawn from many different fields of scientific inquiry. Today, scientists are documenting species splitting into two, observing animals and plants adapting before our eyes, and finding more and more fossils capturing what happened eons ago—dinosaurs that have sprouted feathers, fish that have grown limbs. In this unique and accessible summary of the facts supporting the theory of natural selection, Jerry A. Coyne eloquently shows that evolution does nothing to destroy the beauty of life, only enhances it. By demonstrating the “indelible stamp” of the processes first proposed by Darwin, Coyne does not aim to prove creationism wrong. Rather, by using irrefutable evidence, he sets out to prove evolution right.“Coyne is as graceful a stylist and as clear a scientific explainer as Darwin himself (no mean feat) . . . One of the best single-volume introductions to evolutionary theory ever.” —Wired € 8,90

![]() ![]() Author: Coyne Jerry A. Publisher: Codice Jerry Coyne sembra addirittura stupito: possibile che oggi ci sia ancora bisogno, nonostante le prove a favore raccolte da quasi ogni disciplina, di un libro che spieghi la validità della teoria darwiniana dell'evoluzione per selezione naturale, e che ne illustri la superiorità rispetto alla mistificazione del creazionismo o alla subdola pseudoscienza del disegno intelligente? Evidentemente sì. I sondaggi infatti dipingono una realtà preoccupante: l'antievoluzionismo sta riconquistando terreno non solo in America ma anche in Europa, e sempre più spesso nelle scuole l'insegnamento biblico dell'origine della vita viene affiancato alla teoria di Darwin. Guidati dalla passione divulgativa di Coyne, scienziato rigoroso e scrittore di talento, vedremo cos'è (e cosa non è) l'evoluzione, e ammireremo la bellezza di una teoria ancora capace di innervosire così tante persone. € 29,00

![]() ![]() Author: Coyne Jerry A. Publisher: Penguin Group USA 'Coyne's knowledge of evolutionary biology is prodigious, his deployment of it as masterful as his touch is light.' -Richard Dawkins In the current debate about creationism and intelligent design, there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned-the evidence. Yet the proof of evolution by natural selection is vast, varied, and magnificent. In this succinct and accessible summary of the facts supporting the theory of natural selection, Jerry A. Coyne dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms the scientific truth that supports this amazing process of change. Weaving together the many threads of modern work in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that demonstrate the 'indelible stamp' of the processes first proposed by Darwin, Why Evolution Is True does not aim to prove creationism wrong. Rather, by using irrefutable evidence, it sets out to prove evolution right. € 16,10
