Alfred Russel Wallace. Zapomniana historia współtwórcy teorii doboru naturalnego

Michael A. Flannery

Michael A. Flannery Alfred Russel Wallace Zapomniana historia współtwórcy teorii doboru naturalnego Kim był Alfred Russel Wallace? Jak to się stało, że w tym samym czasie co Karol Darwin doszedł do podobnych wniosków? Dlaczego jego nazwisko jest często pomijane w kontekście teorii ewolucji? Alfred Russel Wallace. Zapomniana historia współtwórcy teorii doboru naturalnego to nowa biografia jednego z najbardziej frapujących naukowców XIX wieku, który przez wiele lat był rzadko wspominany przy omawianiu teorii ewolucji Karola Darwina. Prowokacyjna teza tej biografii głosi, że Wallace, rozwijając swoją unikatową wersję teorii, zapoczątkował współczesną teorię inteligentnego projektu. Wallace całe życie poświęcił badaniu przyrody i prawidłowości rządzących światem naturalnym, co doprowadziło go do dostrzeżenia autentycznego projektu w świecie ożywionym. Była to jedyna w swoim rodzaju herezja, która odsłoniła metafizyczne fundamenty triumfującego paradygmatu darwinowskiego. Książka Flannery'ego zwięźle i elokwentnie przedstawia geniusz Wallace'a i jego odrzucenie ukrytego materializmu i ateizmu Darwina. Różnice między poglądami tych uczonych są obecne również w naszej współczesnej debacie na temat pochodzenia, a poglądy Wallace'a można nadal rozwijać. Ta znakomita książka zapewnia czytelnikowi bezcenny wgląd w najwcześniejsze kontrowersje wokół teorii Darwina i teorii inteligentnego projektu. Michael Egnor, profesor neurochirurgii i prodziekan Wydziału Chirurgii Neurologicznej Stony Brook University Medical Center Michael Flannery zna się na rzeczy. Jego książka została napisana z pasją i przedstawia obronę zaproponowanej przez Alfreda R. Wallace'a teorii inteligentnego projektu, wraz z jej wszystkimi moralnymi i etycznymi następstwami, będącą w opozycji do materialistycznego światopoglądu, który stał się znany jako darwinizm. John S. Haller, profesor emeritus historii i humanistyki medycznej; Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. Michael A. Flannery - amerykański historyk nauki. Studiował bibliotekoznawstwo na University of Kentucky w Lexington, a także historię na California State University i Dominguez Hills w Carson w stanie Kalifornia. Karierę uniwersytecką związał głównie z University of Alabama w Birmingham. Jest autorem kilkunastu książek i kilkudziesięciu artykułów, w których głównie zajmował się historią medycyny i dziejami ewolucjonizmu. Najwięcej uwagi poświęcił postaci Alfreda Russela Wallace'a, brytyjskiego przyrodnika uznawanego powszechnie za niezależnego współtwórcę teorii ewolucji drogą doboru naturalnego.

Alfredo Derossi. (#3). Wilk w owczarni

Marcin Wolski

Gdybyś mógł żyć wiecznie... Gdybyś posiadał dar jasnowidzenia... Gdybyś mógł zmienić przeszłość... Jaką wersję historii byś stworzył? Ludzkie losy są niczym pojedyncze nici tkane na krośnie życia. Niektóre rozwijają się w linię prostą i prędko się zrywają, inne z kolei tworzą długi, skomplikowany wzór, który wije się tajemnymi skrętami. Nielicznych spotyka los prawdziwie niezwykły - ich egzystencja mnoży się niczym głowy Hydry, a kolejne wcielenia odbywają podróże w odległe czasy. Te wybrane jednostki są niczym wilki w owczarni Takie  właśnie życie wiedzie Aldo Gurbiani. Pewnego dnia odkrywa zapiski swojego dawnego alter ego - Alfredo Derossiego. Z notatek wyłania się zaskakujący obraz - okazuje się, że historia świata, jaką zna, nie jest wcale jedyną, która istnieje. Alfredo Derossi postanowił bowiem wykorzystać dar, jaki otrzymał od losu i naprawić błędy historii. Na dodatek, postanowił dokonać tego w niezwykle spektakularny sposób... Współcześni zwali Alfredo Derossiego Il Cane, czyli Psem. Psem, który stał się wilkiem w owczarni. Wielki finał trylogii "Pies w studni"!
