On the Origin of Species (Concise Edition) (Paperback): Charles Darwin On the Origin of Species (Concise Edition) (Paperback)
Charles Darwin; Introduction by Peter Garratt; Foreword by Marika Taylor
R316 R259 Discovery Miles 2 590 Save R57 (18%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Initially received with muted applause, Darwin's The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection was soon recognized as the breakthrough scientific advance that explained the evidence of the world around us, the place and history of humans, the connections between environment and evolution. Still regarded by some as radical, Darwin's contribution to world knowledge is immeasurable. This new, popular edition has been edited and abridged for the modern reader, to introduce Darwin's research in a digestible form. The FLAME TREE Foundations series features core publications which together have shaped the cultural landscape of the modern world, with cutting-edge research distilled into pocket guides designed to be both accessible and informative.

The Physics. Writings on Natural Philosophy (Concise Edition) (Paperback): Aristotle The Physics. Writings on Natural Philosophy (Concise Edition) (Paperback)
Aristotle; Introduction by James Lees; Foreword by Marika Taylor

In the philosophical language of Aristotle and the Greeks of Antiquity, 'Physics' roughly translates as 'the order of nature', covering what we would now differentiate as philosophy, science, politics, humanities and religion. One of Aristotle's great works, of which we here present an abridged edition, The Physics is an investigation into the nature of being, of the world and its place in the universe. Although philosophically much broader, it provides the foundation for the later work of Galileo and Isaac Newton, and prefigures Albert Einstein's breakthrough theories on time, space and the motion of stars.

On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres (Concise Edition) (Paperback): Copernicus On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres (Concise Edition) (Paperback)
Copernicus; Introduction by James Lees; Marika Taylor
R316 R259 Discovery Miles 2 590 Save R57 (18%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

An accessible, abridged edition with a new introduction. Renaissance Natural philosopher Nicolaus Copernicus's pioneering discovery of the heliocentric nature of the solar system is one of the few identifiable moments in history that define the understanding of the nature of all things. His great work was the consequence of long observation and resulted in the first stage of the Scientific Revolution by correctly positing that the earth and other planets of the solar system revolved around the sun. Not only did this promote further study to understand the place of humanity in the world and the universe, it questioned the authority of the organised Christian Church in the West to be the keeper of fundamental truths. Ultimately this would lead to the Enlightenment, and the separation of religion, government and science.

The Principia. Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy (Concise edition) (Paperback): Isaac Newton The Principia. Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy (Concise edition) (Paperback)
Isaac Newton; Introduction by Kirill Krasnov; Marika Taylor
R316 R259 Discovery Miles 2 590 Save R57 (18%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

New concise edition with a new introduction, abridged for the modern reader. The Principia. Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy is one of the most important scientific works ever to have been written and has had a profound impact on modern science. Consisting of three separate books, the Principia states Newton’s laws of motion and Newton’s law of universal gravitation. Understanding and acceptance of these theories was not immediate, however by the end of the seventeenth century no one could deny that Newton had far exceeded all previous works and revolutionised scientific thinking.
