An Introduction to the Cognitive Science of Religion Connecting Evolution, Brain, Cognition and Culture【電子書籍】[ Claire White ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In recent decades, a new scienti?c approach to understand, explain, and predict many features of religion has emerged. The cognitive science of religion (CSR) has amassed research on the forces that shape the tendency for humans to be religious and on what forms belief takes. It suggests that religion, like language or music, naturally emerges in humans with tractable similarities. This new approach has profound implications for how we understand religion, including why it appears so easily, and why people are willing to ?ghtーand dieーfor it. Yet it is not without its critics, and some fear that scholars are explaining the ine?able mystery of religion away, or showing that religion is natural proves or disproves the existence of God.＜/p＞＜p＞An Introduction to the Cognitive Science of Religion offers students and general readers an accessible introduction to the approach, providing an overview of key ?ndings and the debates that shape it. The volume includes a glossary of key terms, and each chapter includes suggestions for further thought and further reading as well as chapter summaries highlighting key points.＜/p＞＜p＞This book is an indispensable resource for introductory courses on religion and a much-needed option for advanced courses.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	8,465円
Probability Theory The Logic of Science【電子書籍】[ E. T. Jaynes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The standard rules of probability can be interpreted as uniquely valid principles in logic. In this book, E. T. Jaynes dispels the imaginary distinction between 'probability theory' and 'statistical inference', leaving a logical unity and simplicity, which provides greater technical power and flexibility in applications. This book goes beyond the conventional mathematics of probability theory, viewing the subject in a wider context. New results are discussed, along with applications of probability theory to a wide variety of problems in physics, mathematics, economics, chemistry and biology. It contains many exercises and problems, and is suitable for use as a textbook on graduate level courses involving data analysis. The material is aimed at readers who are already familiar with applied mathematics at an advanced undergraduate level or higher. The book will be of interest to scientists working in any area where inference from incomplete information is necessary.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	18,626円
Routledge Handbook of Public Communication of Science and Technology【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Communicating science and technology is a high priority of many research and policy institutions, a concern of many other private and public bodies, and an established subject of training and education. In the past few decades, the field has developed and expanded significantly, both in terms of professional practice, and in terms of research and reflection.

Harding ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞INSIDE THE MYSTERIES OF THE HEART: See your heart in a whole new way as a leading cardiac scientist reveals astonishing insights on heart function, heart health, and heart disease.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞“Our blood-pumping organ and its impressive tricks deserve all our cartoon-heart emoji." ー＜em＞The Boston Globe＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Your heart is a miracle in motion, a marvel of construction unsurpassed by any human-made creation. It beats 100,000 times every day. If you were to live to 100, that would be more than 3 billion beats across your lifespan. Despite decades of effort in labs all over the world, we have not yet been able to replicate the heart’s perfect engineering. But, as Sian Harding shows us in ＜em＞The Exquisite Machine＜/em＞, new scientific developments are opening up the mysteries of the heart. And this explosion of new scienceーultrafast imaging, gene editing, stem cells, artificial intelligence, and advanced sub-light microscopyーhas crucial, real-world consequences for health and well-being.＜/p＞＜p＞Hardingーa world leader in cardiac researchーexplores the relation between the emotions and heart function, reporting that the heart not only responds to our emotions, it creates them as well.

And it describes how cutting-edge technologies are enabling experiments and clinical trials that will lead us to new solutions to the worldwide scourge of heart disease.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,249円
Make It Stick The Science of Successful Learning【電子書籍】[ Peter C.

This groundbreaking book, based on the latest research in cognitive science, offers powerful strategies to boost memory and learning.＜/p＞＜p＞To most of us, learning something “the hard way” means wasted time and effort. Good teaching, many believe, should be tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. ＜em＞Make It Stick＜/em＞ turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and a ten-year collaboration among some of the world’s leading experts on human learning and memory, the authors explain what ＜em＞really＜/em＞ drives successful learning. With clear, real-world examples, they show how we can confidently hone our skills and learn more effectively.＜/p＞＜p＞Many common study habits simply don’t work. Underlining, highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. Science shows that more durable learning comes from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has occurred, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. ＜em＞Make It Stick＜/em＞ breaks down these proven approaches in compelling ways and offers concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners.＜/p＞＜p＞Full of eye-opening and inspiring stories for students, educators, and parents, ＜em＞Make It Stick＜/em＞ is an indispensable guide for all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	4,253円
Determined A Science of Life without Free Will【電子書籍】[ Robert M. Sapolsky ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The instant ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestseller＜/p＞＜p＞“Excellent . . . Outstanding for its breadth of research, the liveliness of the writing, and the depth of humanity it conveys.” ?＜em＞Wall Street Journal＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞One of our great behavioral scientists, the bestselling author of ＜em＞Behave＜/em＞, mounts a devastating scientific and philosophical case against free willーan argument with profound consequences＜/p＞＜p＞Robert Sapolsky’s ＜em＞Behave＜/em＞, his now classic account of why humans do good and why they do bad, pointed toward an unsettling conclusion: we may not grasp exactly how nature and nurture create the physics and chemistry that cause all human behavior, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. In ＜em＞Determined＜/em＞, Sapolsky takes his argument all the way, mounting a brilliant (and in his inimitable way, delightful) full-frontal assault on the pleasant fantasy that there is some separate self who tells our biology what to do.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Determined＜/em＞ offers a marvelous synthesis of what we know about consciousnessーthe tight weave between reason and emotion and between stimulus and response in the moment and over a life. One by one, Sapolsky takes out all the major arguments for free will, cutting a path through the thickets of chaos theory and quantum physics. But as Sapolsky acknowledges, it’s sometimes impossible to uncouple from our zeal to judge people, including ourselves. ＜em＞Determined＜/em＞ applies this new understanding to some of our most essential questions around punishment, morality, and living well together. Most of all, Sapolsky argues that while accepting the reality about free will is monumentally difficult, it will make for a much more humane world.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,986円
Idealization and the Aims of Science【電子書籍】[ Angela Potochnik ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Science is the study of our world, as it is in its messy reality. Nonetheless, science requires idealization to functionーif we are to attempt to understand the world, we have to find ways to reduce its complexity.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Idealization and the Aims of Science＜/em＞ shows just how crucial idealization is to science and why it matters. Beginning with the acknowledgment of our status as limited human agents trying to make sense of an exceedingly complex world, Angela Potochnik moves on to explain how science aims to depict and make use of causal patternsーa project that makes essential use of idealization. She offers case studies from a number of branches of science to demonstrate the ubiquity of idealization, shows how causal patterns are used to develop scientific explanations, and describes how the necessarily imperfect connection between science and truth leads to researchers' values influencing their findings. The resulting book is a tour de force, a synthesis of the study of idealization that also offers countless new insights and avenues for future exploration.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,479円

Archimedes to Hawking Laws of Science and the Great Minds Behind Them【電子書籍】[ Clifford Pickover ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Archimedes to Hawking＜/em＞ takes the reader on a journey across the centuries as it explores the eponymous physical laws--from Archimedes' Law of Buoyancy and Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Hubble's Law of Cosmic Expansion--whose ramifications have profoundly altered our everyday lives and our understanding of the universe. Throughout this fascinating book, Clifford Pickover invites us to share in the amazing adventures of brilliant, quirky, and passionate people after whom these laws are named. These lawgivers turn out to be a fascinating, diverse, and sometimes eccentric group of people. Many were extremely versatile polymaths--human dynamos with a seemingly infinite supply of curiosity and energy and who worked in many different areas in science. Others had non-conventional educations and displayed their unusual talents from an early age. Some experienced resistance to their ideas, causing significant personal anguish. Pickover examines more than 40 great laws, providing brief and cogent introductions to the science behind the laws as well as engaging biographies of such scientists as Newton, Faraday, Ohm, Curie, and Planck. Throughout, he includes fascinating, little-known tidbits relating to the law or lawgiver, and he provides cross-references to other laws or equations mentioned in the book. For several entries, he includes simple numerical examples and solved problems so that readers can have a hands-on understanding of the application of the law. A sweeping survey of scientific discovery as well as an intriguing portrait gallery of some of the greatest minds in history, this superb volume will engage everyone interested in science and the physical world or in the dazzling creativity of these brilliant thinkers.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	6,503円

The Science of Living【電子書籍】[ Alfred Adler ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞The Science of Living＜/strong＞ (Published in 1930) looks at Individual Psychology as a science. Adler discusses the various elements of Individual Psychology and its application to everyday life.

On the Genesis of Species Challenging Evolutionary Theories with Scholarly Insights and Comparative Anatomy in Late 19th Century Science【電子書籍】[ St. George Jackson Mivart ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "On the Genesis of Species," St. George Jackson Mivart offers a critical examination of Darwinian evolution while introducing his own philosophical perspectives on the origins of species. Mivart employs a meticulous literary style that combines rigorous scientific inquiry with eloquent prose, engaging readers in a dialogue that challenges the prevailing ideas of natural selection. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, a period marked by intense debates between science and religion, Mivart's work not only examines biological variations but also delves into the metaphysical implications of Darwin'??s theories, ultimately advocating for a more teleological understanding of life. St. George Jackson Mivart was an esteemed biologist, philosopher, and devout Catholic whose background deeply influenced his writing. Having initially been an admirer of Darwin, Mivart'??s gradual disillusionment with aspects of evolutionary theory led him to seek alternative explanations that harmonized science with his faith. His scholarly work in anatomy and his expertise in natural history provided a robust foundation for his arguments, positioning him as a significant thinker in the evolutionary discourse of his time. "On the Genesis of Species" is essential reading for those interested in the intersection of science, philosophy, and theology. Mivart'??s unique perspective invites readers to reconsider the implications of evolution, making this book an invaluable contribution to ongoing discussions about the origins of life and the role of intelligent design.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	150円
