Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality: On Care for Our Common Home , Hörbuch, Digital, 1, 335min
ISBN: 9780399568718 bzw. 0399568719, vermutlich in Englisch, Random House Audio, neu, Hörbuch, elektronischer Download.
The complete text of the landmark encyclical letter from Pope Francis that, as Time magazine reported, "rocked the international community". In the Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality, the beloved pope exhorts the world to combat environmental degradation and its impact on the poor. In a stirring clarion call that is not aimed merely at Catholic listeners but rather at a wide lay audience, the pope cites the overwhelming scientific evidence of climate change and does not hesitate to detail how it is the result of a historic level of unequal distribution of wealth. It is, in short, as the New York Times labeled it, "An urgent call to action...intended to persuade followers around the world [to] change their behavior, in hopes of protecting a fragile planet." With an insightful and informative introduction by Harvard professor Naomi Oreskes, famed for her best-selling Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming. 1. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Bramhall, Linda Korn. Audio sample: http://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/004283/bk_rand_004283_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
The Rejection of Continental Drift (1999)
ISBN: 9780195353600 bzw. 0195353609, vermutlich in Englisch, Oxford University Press, neu, E-Book.
Theory and Method in American Earth Science, In the early twentieth century, American earth scientists were united in their opposition to the new--and highly radical--notion of continental drift, even going so far as to label the theory ´unscientific.´ Some fifty years later, however, continental drift was heralded as a major scientific breakthrough and today it is accepted as scientific fact. Why did American geologists reject so adamantly an idea that is now considered a cornerstone of the discipline? And why were their European colleagues receptive to it so much earlier? This book, based on extensive archival research on three continents, provides important new answers while giving the first detailed account of the American geological community in the first half of the century. Challenging previous historical work on this episode, Naomi Oreskes shows that continental drift was not rejected for the lack of a causal mechanism, but because it seemed to conflict with the basic standards of practice in American geology. This account provides a compelling look at how scientific ideas are made and unmade. PDF, 01.04.1999.
