    Book SynopsisConsiderado por la revista Time uno de los científicos y pensadores más importantes del siglo XX, Robert Trivers es una leyenda viva de la biología y las ciencias sociales. Sin embargo, a diferencia de otros científicos de renombre, Trivers ha estado entre rejas, en alguna ocasión hizo de chófer del líder de los Panteras Negras Huey Newton para ayudarlo a huir y fundó un grupo armado en Jamaica para proteger a los homosexuales frente a la violencia colectiva y los linchamientos.Con su inimitable voz, Trivers nos habla de la vida indómita que hay tras sus aportaciones científicas y comparte aquí opiniones sobre los temas más dispares, desde el racismo en Norteamérica hasta la historia de la psiquiatría, pasando por quién mató a Peter Tosh, el heredero musical de Bob Marley. Repleto de anécdotas sobre personalidades del ámbito científico como Richard Dawkins o Stephen Jay Gould, este libro interesará y entretendrá a cualquiera que sienta curiosidad por la ciencia, la condición humana o la naturaleza del genio creativo.

    Book SynopsisHow does one lay the foundations of a science? In 322 BC, Theophrastus (372-286 BC) took over the school of his teacher Aristotle and thus also the first European institution of research, the Lyceum, which he managed for 35 years. One of the objectives of the Lyceum research team was that everything in nature was to be examined, and it was. In posterity, the botanical works of Theophrastus will still be examples of ground-breaking empirical research with long-lasting results. But from where did the project workers get the amount of botanical data, and according to which scientific principles did they process their results? This is the first Danish introduction to the botanical writings of Theophrastus -- one of the real classics of the history of science.

  • The Great Re-Think: A 21st Century Renaissance

    Pari Publishing The Great Re-Think: A 21st Century Renaissance

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisAll too plausibly, it seems, popes and scientists are warning us of impending collapse—yet humanity and our fellow creatures could still be looking forward to a long and glorious future: at least a million years of peace and personal fulfilment, with abundant and diverse wildlife. But to achieve this we need to re-think everything that we do and take for granted, from the day-to-day mundanities of growing and cooking, to the economy and methods of governance, to the most arcane reaches of science and metaphysics. It all amounts to nothing less than a Renaissance—a re-birth—and the Renaissance to come must be driven and led by us, ordinary Joes and Jos, because the oligarchy of governments, corporates, financiers, and their attendant intellectuals who now dominate the world have largely lost touch with the moral and ecological realities of life. The transformation won’t be easy but—the good news!—millions of grassroots initiatives of all kinds the world over are already moving in the right directions.Trade ReviewColin Tudge excels in cracking open deadly belief systems so that we can see the new emerging—which is precisely what the world needs now. - Frances Moore Lappé, Diet for a Small Planet, and a Right Livelihood Laureate // Colin Tudge, one of our great rural thinkers, argues with eloquence, love and an extraordinary depth of knowledge for a better path, and, with inspirational hope, asserts that such a renaissance is do-able. Let’s get on and do it. - Guy Singh-Watson, organic farmer, Founder-creator of Riverford Organic Farmers // The Great Re-think is a beautiful blueprint for a new renaissance. It is a book of profound wisdom as well as a practical roadmap. - Satish Kumar, Schumacher College, Editor Emeritus, Resurgence & Ecologist // As governments the world over seek to put profit before both people and planet Colin Tudge offers us a realistic, just and humane alternative which could deliver a secure and convivial future. - Tim Gorringe, Emeritus Professor of Theology, Exeter University and smallholderTable of ContentsPreface: What is and what could be Part I: THE NATURE OF THE TASK What’s the problem?

  • Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living

    Springer Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis is a bold, brilliant, provocative and puzzling work. It demands a radical shift in standpoint, an almost paradoxical posture in which living systems are described in terms of what lies outside the domain of descriptions. Professor Humberto Maturana, with his colleague Francisco Varela, have undertaken the construction of a systematic theoretical biology which attempts to define living systems not as they are objects of observation and description, nor even as in­ teracting systems, but as self-contained unities whose only reference is to them­ selves. Thus, the standpoint of description of such unities from the 'outside', i. e. , by an observer, already seems to violate the fundamental requirement which Maturana and Varela posit for the characterization of such system- namely, that they are autonomous, self-referring and self-constructing closed systems - in short, autopoietic systems in their terms. Yet, on the basis of such a conceptual method, and such a theory of living systems, Maturana goes on to define cognition as a biological phenomenon; as, in effect, the very nature of all living systems. And on this basis, to generate the very domains of interac­ tion among such systems which constitute language, description and thinking.Table of ContentsEditorial Preface General Table Of Contents Foreword Introduction (by Professor Maturana) Biology Of Cognition Dedication Table of Contents I.

  • A Legacy for Living Systems: Gregory Bateson as Precursor to Biosemiotics

    Springer A Legacy for Living Systems: Gregory Bateson as Precursor to Biosemiotics

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisGregory Bateson’s contribution to 20th century thinking has appealed to scholars from a wide range of fields dealing in one way or another with aspects of communication and epistemology. A number of his insights were taken up and developed further in anthropology, psychology, evolutionary biology and communication theory. But the large, trans-disciplinary synthesis that, in his own mind, was his major contribution to science received little attention from the mainstream scientific communities. This book represents a major attempt to revise this deficiency. Scholars from ecology, biochemistry, evolutionary biology, cognitive science, anthropology and philosophy discuss how Bateson's thinking might lead to a fruitful reframing of central problems in modern science. Most important perhaps, Bateson's bioanthropology is shown to play a key role in developing the set of ideas explored in the new field of biosemiotics. The idea that organismic life is indeed basically semiotic or communicative lies at the heart of the biosemiotic approach to the study of life. The only book of its kind, this volume provides a key resource for the quickly-growing substratum of scholars in the biosciences, philosophy and medicine who are seeking an elegant new approach to exploring highly complex systems.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "In this book are collected 14 essays on a range of topics related to, applying, or extending Bateson’s work and legacy. … Open minded biologists and semioticians, as well as students of Peirce, will be interested … in this book. … I recommend it highly." (Phillip Guddemi, Cybnetics and Human Knowing, Vol. 15 (3-4), 2008) "Biosemiotics studies the ‘sign character’ of processes ‘inside or between living systems,’ from a single cell, to organisms, to ecological systems … . The introduction and the 14 chapters of this book are well written and generally understandable by a nonexpert in biosemiotics or Bateson’s work." (H. I.
