Book Synopsis Evolution: the Grand Experiment by : Dr. Carl Werner
Download or read book Evolution: the Grand Experiment written by Dr. Carl Werner and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2007 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Darwin's book on evolution admitted that "intermediate links" were "perhaps the most obvious and serious objection to the theory" of evolution. Darwin recognized that the fossils collected by scientists prior to 1859 did not correspond with his theory of evolution, but he predicted that his theory would be confirmed as more and more fossils were found. One hundred and fifty years later, Evolution: The Grand Experiment critically examines the viability of Darwin's theory"--
Book Synopsis The Cichlid Fishes by : George Barlow
Download or read book The Cichlid Fishes written by George Barlow and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2008-12-15 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cichlid fishes are amazing creatures. In terms of sheer number of species, they are the most successful of all families of vertebrate animals, and the extent and speed with which they have evolved in some African lakes has made them the darlings of evolutionary biologists. But what truly captivates biologists like George Barlow -- not to mention thousands of aquarists the world over -- is the complexity of their social lives and their devotion to family (most species of cichlids are monogamous and many pairs share the responsibility of raising offspring). In this wonderful book, Barlow describes the unusually high intelligence of these fishes, their complex mating and parenting rituals, their bizarre feeding and fighting habits, and the unusual adaptations and explosive rate of speciation that have enabled them to proliferate and flourish. A celebration of their diversity, The Cichlid Fishes is also a marvelous exploration of how these unique animals might help resolve the age-old puzzle of how species arise and evolve.
Book Synopsis Life Science (Teacher Guide) by : Dr. Carl Werner
Download or read book Life Science (Teacher Guide) written by Dr. Carl Werner and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter Discussion Question: Teachers are encouraged to participate with the student as they complete the discussion questions. The purpose of the Chapter Purpose section is to introduce the chapter to the student. The Discussion Questions are meant to be thought-provoking. The student may not know the answers but should answer with their, thoughts, ideas, and knowledge of the subject using sound reasoning and logic. They should study the answers and compare them with their own thoughts. We recommend the teacher discuss the questions, the student’s answers, and the correct answers with the student. This section should not be used for grading purposes. DVD: Each DVD is watched in its entirety to familiarize the student with each book in the course. They will watch it again as a summary as they complete each book. Students may also use the DVD for review, as needed, as they complete each chapter of the course. Chapter Worksheets: The worksheets are foundational to helping the student learn the material and come to a deeper understanding of the concepts presented. Often, the student will compare what we should find in the fossil record and in living creatures if evolution were true with what we actually find. This comparison clearly shows evolution is an empty theory simply based on the evidence. God’s Word can be trusted and displayed both in the fossil record and in living creatures. Tests and Exams: There is a test for each chapter, sectional exams, and a comprehensive final exam for each book.

Download or read book EVOLUTION written by Michael Ruse and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning evolutionary science from its inception to its latest findings, from discoveries and data to philosophy and history, this book is the most complete, authoritative, and inviting one-volume introduction to evolutionary biology available. Clear, informative, and comprehensive in scope, Evolution opens with a series of major essays dealing with the history and philosophy of evolutionary biology, with major empirical and theoretical questions in the science, from speciation to adaptation, from paleontology to evolutionary development (evo devo), and concluding with essays on the social and political significance of evolutionary biology today. A second encyclopedic section travels the spectrum of topics in evolution with concise, informative, and accessible entries on individuals from Aristotle and Linneaus to Louis Leakey and Jean Lamarck; from T. H. Huxley and E. O. Wilson to Joseph Felsenstein and Motoo Kimura; and on subjects from altruism and amphibians to evolutionary psychology and Piltdown Man to the Scopes trial and social Darwinism. Readers will find the latest word on the history and philosophy of evolution, the nuances of the science itself, and the intricate interplay among evolutionary study, religion, philosophy, and society. Appearing at the beginning of the Darwin Year of 2009Ñthe 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of SpeciesÑthis volume is a fitting tribute to the science Darwin set in motion.
Book Synopsis Evolution Exposed by : Paul G. Humber
Download or read book Evolution Exposed written by Paul G. Humber and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Duane T. Gish, PhD, wrote the following words to Paul G. Humber, A.B., M.S., B.D., in July of 2005: "You have been for many years a faithful and effective defender of God's marvelous creation, and your latest book will be an outstanding contribution to your continuing efforts." Educator and Author Paul G. Humber challenges evolutionary thinking in this, his third book. He had promoted creation science for twenty-four years while serving on the faculty of The Haverford School on Philadelphia's Main Line. Prior to that, he challenged atheistic humanism while serving on the faculty of Abington High School. Many articles of his have been published by the Institute for Creation Research and the Creation Research Society. He has expressed himself in school publications and upper school assemblies. Colleagues have invited him to share his perspectives in classes, and since assuming leadership with Skilton House Ministries, he has moderated and participated in creation-evolution debates, the most recent of which was featured in The Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday, May 29, 2005. Currently, as Executive Director of Skilton House, the author promotes Christian Released Time education for public school children in Philadelphia and the surrounding area. Christian theism can and should thrive in prominent secular schools. Creation, consistent with true science and the Bible, can be taught legally in such contexts. Dr. Mary Schweitzer wrote to the author: "Never in my wildest dreams would I have predicted what we found." Soft, flexible dinosaur tissue was extracted from this Tyrannosaurus rex bone
Book Synopsis The Grand Experiment by : Madren Campbell
Download or read book The Grand Experiment written by Madren Campbell and published by Pure Possibility, LLC. This book was released on 2006-09 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven fears drive and determine our choices and decisions. These fears severely limit our experience of life and harden our viewpoint of humanity. Just imagine what would change if we could see the underlying fear that determines behavior, the same fear that stands in the way of each of us fulfilling our unique purpose. We are not what we believe ourselves to be. Who we are is truly magnificent! "The Grand Experiment" is a blueprint for the discovery of our authentic selves. It asks us to look closely at our fears, the foundation of the beliefs we unconsciously embrace as our reality, and asks us to reexamine their validity. It challenges us to face the very fears that have created the longing in our hearts and that make us believe who we are is not enough. It opens the door to the possibility that what we are searching for is unconditional love and it is only our fear that has obscured our view. There is a way out of being solely determined by fear, but in order to find it we must be willing to question those beliefs we hold dear and that hold us hostage. Our willingness to question opens the door to the grand experiment. "The Grand Experiment" explores seven fearssix major myths and the foundational myth of separation. The authors candidly and nakedly share their process, insights and daemons to entice the reader into shameless exploration.

Book Synopsis The Man Who Saved Sea Turtles by : Frederick Davis
Download or read book The Man Who Saved Sea Turtles written by Frederick Davis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archie Carr, one of the greatest biologists of the twentieth century, played a leading part in finding a new and critical role for natural history and systematics in a post-1950s world dominated by the glamorous science of molecular biology. With the rise of molecular biology came a growing popular awareness of species extinction. Carr championed endangered sea turtles, and his work reflects major shifts in the study of ecology and evolution. A gifted nature writer, his books on the natural history of sea turtles and their habitats in Florida, the Caribbean, and Africa entertained and educated a wide audience. Carr's conservation ethic grew from his field work as well as his friendships with the fishermen who supplied him with many of the stories he retold so engagingly. With Archie Carr as the focus, The Man Who Saved Sea Turtles explores the evolution of the naturalist tradition, biology, and conservation during the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Biological Emergences by : Robert G. B. Reid
Download or read book Biological Emergences written by Robert G. B. Reid and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-08-21 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critique of selectionism and the proposal of an alternate theory of emergent evolution that is causally sufficient for evolutionary biology. Natural selection is commonly interpreted as the fundamental mechanism of evolution. Questions about how selection theory can claim to be the all-sufficient explanation of evolution often go unanswered by today's neo-Darwinists, perhaps for fear that any criticism of the evolutionary paradigm will encourage creationists and proponents of intelligent design. In Biological Emergences, Robert Reid argues that natural selection is not the cause of evolution. He writes that the causes of variations, which he refers to as natural experiments, are independent of natural selection; indeed, he suggests, natural selection may get in the way of evolution. Reid proposes an alternative theory to explain how emergent novelties are generated and under what conditions they can overcome the resistance of natural selection. He suggests that what causes innovative variation causes evolution, and that these phenomena are environmental as well as organismal. After an extended critique of selectionism, Reid constructs an emergence theory of evolution, first examining the evidence in three causal arenas of emergent evolution: symbiosis/association, evolutionary physiology/behavior, and developmental evolution. Based on this evidence of causation, he proposes some working hypotheses, examining mechanisms and processes common to all three arenas, and arrives at a theoretical framework that accounts for generative mechanisms and emergent qualities. Without selectionism, Reid argues, evolutionary innovation can more easily be integrated into a general thesis. Finally, Reid proposes a biological synthesis of rapid emergent evolutionary phases and the prolonged, dynamically stable, non-evolutionary phases imposed by natural selection.
