Sobre El Autor

Charles Taylor works creatively with material drawn from both analytical and Continental sources. He was born in Montreal, educated at McGill and Oxford universities, and has taught political science and philosophy at McGill since 1961. He describes himself as a social democrat, and he was a mostrar más founder and editor of the New Left Review. Taylor's work is an example of renewed interest in the great traditional questions of philosophy. It is informed by a vast scope of literature, ranging from Plato to Jacques Derrida. More accessible to the average reader than most recent original work in philosophy, Taylor's oeuvre centers on questions on philosophical anthropology, that is, on how human nature relates to ethics and society. Taylor develops his themes with an engaging, historically accurate insight. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

As a key subject for children in an ever more sophisticated world, the grasp of science and the basic principles behind it are explored in "The Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia". Arranged thematically, the text seeks not just to provide factual information, but help the reader to enquire and collect and use evidence in the exploration of new topics. Each subject area is provided with important dates and events, together with biographies of the outstanding scientists in that field.

My copy has a different cover, since it is the 2000 edition with 488 pages. It has wonderful color illustrations and over 3,500 indexed references with over 2,,000 full-color illustrations. Excellent general reference.
