Is Nature Enough?
By: Haught, John F.
Published by: Cambridge University Press
John Haught examines 'scientific naturalism', the belief that nothing exists beyond the world available to our senses and scientific inquiry. He seeks to provide a reasonable, scientifically informed alternative to naturalism by embracing the results of analytical research while simultaneously questioning the rational coherence of Darwinistic naturalism.

Joint Evolution of Black Holes and Galaxies
By: Colpi, M.
Published by: CRC Press
Black holes are among the most mysterious objects that the human mind has been capable of imagining. As pure mathematical constructions, they are tools for exploiting the fundamental laws of physics. As astronomical sources, they are part of our cosmic landscape, warping space-time, coupled to the large-scale properties and life cycle of their host galaxy, and perhaps even linked to galaxy formation.
This volume, which grew from a recent doctoral school sponsored by the Italian Society of Relativity and Gravitation, brings together contributions from leading authorities to provide a review of recent developments in the study of the astrophysical black holes that inhabit nearby galaxies and distant quasars. These lectures reveal the deep symbiotic relationship between black holes and their cosmic environment and show that black holes are key sources for exploring not only our local universe, but also our cosmic dawn. Topics range from the observational evidence for supermassive black holes and the joint evolution of black holes and galaxies to the cold dark matter paradigm of hierarchical galaxy formation and from the cosmic history of the diffuse intergalactic medium to the ecology of black holes in star clusters.

Life's Origin
By: Schopf, J. William
Published by: University of California Press
Always a controversial and compelling topic, the origin of life on Earth was considered taboo as an area of inquiry for science as recently as the 1950s. Since then, however, scientists working in this area have made remarkable progress, and an overall picture of how life emerged is coming more clearly into focus.

Masks of the Universe
By: Harrison, Edward
Published by: Cambridge University Press
In the ancient world philosophical issues dominated cosmology. In the Middle Ages theological issues ranked foremost. In recent times astronomy and the physical sciences have taken over. Do we now stand at the threshold of knowing everything, or have we created yet another mask, doomed to fade like the others?

Modern Cosmology
By: Bonometto, S
Published by: CRC Press
Cosmology is a new science, but cosmological questions are as old as mankind. Turning philosophical and metaphysical problems into problems that physics can treat, and hopefully solve, has been the main achievement of the 20th century.
