One of last year's bestsellers left people wondering, \"Fish don't exist.\" \u003cbr\u003eThat common fish doesn't exist? Many believe that the core of science lies in scientific facts.\u003cbr\u003e In this age of science, it seems reasonable to grant authority to scientific facts.\u003cbr\u003e But aren't provocative questions that challenge conventional wisdom, like the claim that fish don't exist, the essence of science?\u003cbr\u003e Those problematic questions change our perspective on the world and life.\u003cbr\u003e In this issue's cover story, we reread and delve deeply into science bestsellers to explore these problematic questions in science with our readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e First, in 'The Golden Age of Science Education Books,' Lee Jeong-mo, former director of the National Science Museum in Gwacheon and a leading science writer in Korea, examines the flow of science education books, starting with the first generation of science education books such as 'Science Concert' and 'Discovery of the Ant Empire,' and discusses why science education books are necessary in this day and age. \u003cbr\u003eAlso, science columnist Kang Seok-gi critically examines the book “Fish Does Not Exist,” which was greatly loved last year, by asking the question, “Do fish really not exist?”\u003cbr\u003e Next, evolutionary anthropologist Park Han-seon critically examines \"The Affectionate Survive\" from the perspective of evolution and strategy, and cultural evolutionist Kim Jun-hong critically examines \"The Selfish Gene\" based on the latest scientific theories and cultural evolution theory, asking whether humans can overcome selfish genes.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, Hyunwook Cho, science columnist and translator of Sapiens, questions what makes humans human and examines whether Yuval Harari's critical thinking is still relevant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e▼ The Great Flight of the Toyosat\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1.\u003cbr\u003e It was an event that shocked the world and signaled the beginning of space exploration. \u003cbr\u003eTwo years later, the Soviet Union successfully landed the unmanned lunar probe Luna 2 on the moon, and ten years after that, the United States successfully landed the world's first manned probe on the moon.\u003cbr\u003e It has been over 50 years since Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon.\u003cbr\u003e Space exploration, which has emerged as a core technology in science, politics, and military affairs, is no longer a dream of humanity but a necessity.\u003cbr\u003e India, which became the first country to land on the lunar south pole last August, has now begun exploring the sun.\u003cbr\u003e As the world races fiercely in the space race, where does Korea stand in space exploration? Dr. Hwang Jeong-ah, an astrophysicist and developer of the Toyosat satellite, from the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, examines the current state of Korean space exploration through the launch of Nuri, a satellite developed using Korea's own technology, in May.\u003cbr\u003e From the arduous research process to the tense launch day, the story is as follows. \u003cbr\u003eIt contains the past, present, and future of Korean space exploration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e▼ The era of human gene editing is coming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Gene editing technology, which emerged in the mid-2010s and shook up the biological world.\u003cbr\u003e Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuel Charpentier, who developed this technique, were awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.\u003cbr\u003e The fact that the Nobel Prize was awarded so quickly is unusual, and it once again shows how groundbreaking their discovery was.\u003cbr\u003e Where is gene editing technology headed? Professor Cho Dong-hyun, a physician-scientist at Seoul National University College of Medicine, will explore how gene editing technology is being applied to humans in four installments, examining the technical and ethical issues it raises. \u003cbr\u003eThis first installment explores how far human capabilities can be developed through genetic mutation, emphasizing that gene editing is no longer a technology unrelated to humans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e▼ Some misconceptions about metacognition\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Metacognition, the core of Socrates' wisdom: “Know thyself.”\u003cbr\u003e 'Metacognition', which began to become widely known in Korea about five years ago, has received great attention mainly in relation to learning.\u003cbr\u003e But perhaps because of that, metacognition was perceived as a strategy for successful learning.\u003cbr\u003e Professor Lisa Son, an international expert on metacognition, seeks to correct some misunderstandings about metacognition following the publication of her book, Metacognitive Learning Methods.\u003cbr\u003e He emphasizes that metacognition is not a single strategy, but a general ability to recognize and change oneself according to the situation, through examples such as learning situations with limited time and when facing bias.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePolitical Correctness and the 21st Century Religious Wars\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A controversy arose surrounding the movie “The Little Mermaid,” which was released last May.\u003cbr\u003e Was casting a black person as the Little Mermaid appropriate? Was Disney ruining its work by being obsessed with PC? Or wasn't this debate itself racist? The debate continued.\u003cbr\u003e And these kinds of debates can now be found quite frequently throughout our society.\u003cbr\u003e Critical columnist Oh-hu examines the current political correctness debate in our society within the framework of a new religious war in the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e Paradoxically, by examining the mechanisms by which \"correctness\" disrupts communication, the author reflects on what democratic values ​​our society holds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlso, Skeptic No. 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e- In 'What is Evidence?', philosopher of science Wonki Heo shows how the meaning of 'evidence' in science is more complex than our intuition suggests.\u003cbr\u003e Through this, he emphasizes the need to maintain a critical attitude toward the standards of scientific evidence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - In 'The Poor Imagination of Aliens,' science writer Philip Ball examines how limited our imagination of aliens is, discussing how much we extrapolate from human imagery when we picture aliens, both in everyday life and in scientific contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - In 'Why Dragons Can't Exist', biologist Douglas R.\u003cbr\u003e Warwick explores physical and genetic limitations as to why dragon-like monsters cannot exist. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 4, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264 pages | 170*250*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9772383984000\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23839848 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43893546745898,"sku":"160031","price":31.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/41624986134e354de8693b51411e6b0d.jpg?v=1765405281","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/160031","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
