Paperback. Zustand: Good. Much has been written on religions of all types, the history of religious belief, and on the supernatural interpretation of the world, but where can we turn for an account of unbelief-the naturalistic alternative?James Thrower's concise and direct approach examines the thinkers and schools which defined atheism, beginning with Greece, Rome, and Israel. He notes that the intellectual status of unbelief rose significantly in Western Europe as a result of the clash in the Middle Ages between the powerful force of faith and the emerging but still limited influence of reason. Physical science was developing and the world of the intellect would expand during the Renaissance that followed.This delightfully pertinent short history illustrates the leading issues separating the theist from the atheist and agnostic, and sheds light on world events and the inconsistencies inherent in supernaturalism and theistic theories. Thrower discusses atheism both as a reaction to belief and as a separate and consistent form of belief in a world stripped of the divine, where reason, science, and humankind's endless search for knowledge flourish.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This work, first published as "Maps and Man", provides a concise introduction to the history of cartography. In this edition, the author has expanded his survey to include recent revolutions in cartography and new research on indigenous and early Western maps carried out since the publication of the first edition. The book presents maps rare in reproduction that reflect the cultural and scientific evolution of societies from ancient Egypt and early China to contemporary Western civilization. From the oldest known map to current CD-ROM maps for automobiles and new forms of cartography created in the computer-based field of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), the author shows how maps have changed in response to new demands to describe where we live, mark territory, plan communities, plot military strategy, navigate oceans, track weather, measure traffic flow or chart the heavens.…
