Ethics and Science

An Introduction

podle Adam Briggle, Carl Mitcham ...

Série série Cambridge Applied Ethics
Who owns your genes? What does climate science imply for policy? Do corporations conduct honest research? Should we teach intelligent design? Humans are creating a new world through science. The kind of world we are creating will not simply be decided by expanding scientific knowledge, but will depend on views about good and bad, right and wrong.

Are We All Scientific Experts Now?

To ordinary people, science used to seem infallible. Scientists were heroes, selflessly pursuing knowledge for the common good. More recently, a series of scientific scandals, frauds and failures have led us to question science’s pre-eminence. Revelations such as Climategate, or debates about the safety of the MMR vaccine, have dented our confidence in science.In this provocative new book Harry ... Přečtěte si více

Global Catastrophic Risks

Upravil: Nick Bostrom, Milan M. Cirkovic ...

A global catastrophic risk is one with the potential to wreak death and destruction on a global scale. In human history, wars and plagues have done so on more than one occasion, and misguided ideologies and totalitarian regimes have darkened an entire era or a region. Advances in technology are adding dangers of a new kind. It could happen again. In Global Catastrophic Risks 25 leading experts ... Přečtěte si více

You Matter More Than You Think

Quantum Social Change for a Thriving World

podle Karen O'Brien ...

Every single one of us matters in the process of transforming our future - but do we really believe that? What if we are underestimating our individual and collective capacity to change ourselves, our cultures, and our systems to create a thriving future for all? Through the lens of quantum social change, Karen O'Brien presents a radically different way of thinking about how we address climate ... Přečtěte si více

The Gamble

Stabilizing the world’s climates means cutting carbon dioxide pollution. There’s no way around it. But what if that’s not enough? What if it’s too difficult to accomplish in the time allotted or, worse, what if it’s so late in the game that even cutting carbon emissions to zero, tomorrow, wouldn’t do?Enter solar geoengineering.

Can Science Fix Climate Change?

A Case Against Climate Engineering

podle Mike Hulme ...

Série série New Human Frontiers
Climate change seems to be an insurmountable problem. Political solutions have so far had little impact. Some scientists are now advocating the so-called 'Plan B', a more direct way of reducing the rate of future warming by reflecting more sunlight back to space, creating a thermostat in the sky.In this book, Mike Hulme argues against this kind of hubristic techno-fix.

Science In Public

Communication, Culture, And Credibility

podle Jane Gregory, Steven Miller ...

Does the general public need to understand science? And if so, is it scientists' responsibility to communicate? Critics have argued that, despite the huge strides made in technology, we live in a "scientifically illiterate" society--one that thinks about the world and makes important decisions without taking scientific knowledge into account. But is the solution to this "illiteracy" to deluge the ... Přečtěte si více

Why Society is a Complex Matter

Meeting Twenty-first Century Challenges with a New Kind of Science

podle Philip Ball ...

Série série Physics and Astronomy (R0)
Society is complicated. But this book argues that this does not place it beyond the reach of a science that can help to explain and perhaps even to predict social behaviour. As a system made up of many interacting agents – people, groups, institutions and governments, as well as physical and technological structures such as roads and computer networks – society can be regarded as a complex system. ...

The Ethics of Nuclear Energy

Risk, Justice, and Democracy in the Post-Fukushima Era

Upravil: Behnam Taebi, Sabine Roeser ...

Despite the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan, a growing number of countries are interested in expanding or introducing nuclear energy. However, nuclear energy production and nuclear waste disposal give rise to pressing ethical questions that society needs to face.
