Most people, when they contemplate the living world, conclude that it is a designed place. But, what most people see as design, biologists say that it is only an illusion. Here, the author takes up the question of design as a very real problem in biology, and also proposes a solution which poses challenges to all sides in this critical debate. With 38 halftones, 1 table. Hardback, 250 pages. Size: 238 x 166 mm. Weight: 788g.

"Optical Science and Engineering" series; Thompson, Brian J. (ed.) Presents a debate on the definition of a photon and the concept of wave-particle duality. This book presents the view of the nature of light and photons. It presents a scientific epistemology that explains how to overcome the paradoxes and confusions arising from the accepted definition of a photon as a monochromatic Fourier mode of the vacuum. With 96 black & white illustrations, 1 black & white tables. Hardback, 456 pages. Weight: 775g.
