| Description | XII, 326 p. 4 illus., 1 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is an in-depth guide to effective scientific research. Ranging from the philosophical to the practical, it explains at the outset what science can ??? and can???t ??? achieve, and discusses its relationship to mathematics and laws. The author then pays extensive attention to the scientific method, including experimental design, verification, uncertainty and statistics. A major aim of the book is to help young scientists reflect upon the deeper aims of their work and make the best use of their talents in contributing to progress. To this end, it also includes sections on planning research, on presenting one???s findings in writing, as well as on ethics and the responsibilities of scientists. |

| Title | Human Enhancements for Space Missions : Lunar, Martian, and Future Missions to the Outer Planets |
| Author(s) | Szocik, Konrad |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XIV, 291 p. 15 illus., 13 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents a collection of chapters, which address various contexts and challenges of the idea of human enhancement for the purposes of human space missions. The authors discuss pros and cons of mostly biological enhancement of human astronauts operating in hostile space environments, but also ethical and theological aspects are addressed. In contrast to the idea and program of human enhancement on Earth, human enhancement in space is considered a serious and necessary option. This book aims at scholars in the following fields: ethics and philosophy, space policy, public policy, as well as biologists and psychologists |

| Title | Scientific Philosophy |
| Author(s) | Romero, Gustavo E |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIX, 188 p. 8 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents the basics of philosophy that are necessary for the student and researcher in science in order to better understand scientific work. The approach is not historical but formative: tools for semantical analysis, ontology of science, epistemology, and scientific ethics are presented in a formal and direct way. The book has two parts: one with the general theory and a second part with application to some problems such as the interpretation of quantum mechanics, the nature of mathematics, and the ontology of spacetime. The book addresses questions such as "What is meaning?", "What is truth?", "What are truth criteria in science?", "What is a theory?", "What is a model?" "What is a datum?", "What is information?", "What does it mean to understand something?", "What is space?", "What is time?", "How are these concepts articulated in science?" "What are values?" "What are the limits of science?", and many more. The philosophical views presented are "scientific" in the sense that they are informed by current science, they are relevant for scientific research, and the method adopted uses the hypothetical-deductive approach that is characteristic of science. The results and conclusions, as any scientific conclusion, are open to revision in the light of future advances. Hence, this philosophical approach opposes to dogmatic philosophy. Supported by end-of-chapter summaries and a list of special symbols used, the material will be of interest for students and researchers in both science and philosophy. The second part will appeal to physicists and mathematicians |

| Title | The Human Factor in a Mission to Mars : An Interdisciplinary Approach |
| Author(s) | Szocik, Konrad |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XII, 266 p. 16 illus., 11 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | A manned mission to Mars is faced with challenges and topics that may not be obvious but of great importance and challenging for such a mission. This is the first book that collects contributions from scholars in various fields, from astronomy and medicine, to theology and philosophy, addressing such topics. The discussion goes beyond medical and technological challenges of such a deep-space mission. The focus is on human nature, human emotions and biases in such a new environment. The primary audience for this book are all researchers interested in the human factor in a space mission including philosophers, social scientists, astronomers, and others. This volume will also be of high interest for a much wider audience like the non-academic world, or for students |
