Sam Harris has discovered that most people, from secular scientists to religious fundamentalists, agree on one point: science has nothing to say on the subject of human values. Indeed, science's failure to address questions of meaning and morality has become the primary justification for religious faith. The underlying claim is that while science is the best authority on the wo...(展开全部)

An important look at why some countries and ethnic groups are better off than others, and the role that cultural values play in the shaping of nations' and peoples' political, economic and social performance Prominent scholars and journalists ponder the question of why, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the world is more divided than ever between the rich and the po...(展开全部)

A renowned psychologist unravels the universal from the individual in human development to answer the question: what are we born with and what do we learn? In 1984, Basic published Harvard developmental psychologist Jerome Kagan's The Nature of the Child, a book that challenged many of psychology's most deeply held assumptions about human development-arguing, for example, that ...(展开全部)

埃尔温·薛定谔(德语：Erwin Schrödinger, 1887年8月12日——1961年1月4日)，著名的奥地利理论物理学家，量子力学的重要奠基人之一，同时在固体比热、统计热力学、原子光谱等方面享有成就。1926年他提出薛定谔方程，为量子力学奠定了坚实的基础。他想出薛定谔猫思想实验，试图证明量子力学在宏观条件下的不完备性。1933年因薛定谔方程获诺贝尔物理学奖。

Is natural history a science? Are there scientific ways in which we can give wild animals a better chance of survival? How does conservation actually work? Ullas Karanth has been evolving practical, science-based conservation solutions for over a quarter of a century. He has developed camera-trap sampling techniques that are now employed to monitor predators such as tigers, jag...(展开全部)

A jaw-dropping exploration of everything that goes wrong when we build AI systems and the movement to fix them. Today’s “machine-learning” systems, trained by data, are so effective that we’ve invited them to see and hear for us—and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Recent years have seen an eruption of concern as the field of machine learning advanc...(展开全部)
