{"product_id":"man-in-search-of-himself-jean-charon-9781612039848","title":"Man in Search of Himself","description":"Man, it will be objected, is a living being, and therefore belongs in the first place to the domain of the biologist; but he is also a thinking being, and therefore belongs to the psychologist; in his evolutionary setting, he is the concern of the palaeontologist; but he is also a being capable of philosophizing, capable of artistic and religious feelings, and so comes within the province of the philosopher, the artist, and the theologian. But what on earth is a physicist doing in this company? What does he know about man, since man is not his special field of research? If I must make my apologies for daring to come out of the cave in which I seemed to be confined - my professional pigeon-hole, so to speak - I am more than willing to do so. This book, I admit, is the exact opposite of a specialist work. I admit moreover - even if I am to be condemned on this count - that I am particularly glad my work is not like that of a specialist. Jean Emile Charon was a French nuclear physicist, author of over 20 books on physics, scientific philosophy, and computer science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Charon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612039847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612039848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spastic Cat Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Jean Charon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125022978303,"sku":"9781612039848","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa76725a-14ab-480b-a1bf-588ad16197b7.jpg?v=1687440183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/man-in-search-of-himself-jean-charon-9781612039848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
