Secrets of the Mind: A Tale of Discovery and Mistaken Identity
ISBN: 9781461271734 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Written in a provocative, witty, and highly accessible style, this is not only a splendid general introduction to the central questions of consciousness and brain science, but also an answer to some of them. The author -- noted Glaswegian chemist A.G. Cairns-Smith -- believes our feelings and sensations are not simply alternative descriptions of neural events but have themselves evolved and have physical effects in the brain as well as physical causes. Secrets of the Mind portrays a vision of the world as it may come to be seen by a future science. Sand, sea water, air, and the atoms from...

Seven Clues to the Origin of Life: A Scientific Detective Story
ISBN: 9780521398282 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book addresses the question of how life may have arisen on earth, in the spirit of an intriguing detective story. It relies on the methods of Sherlock Holmes, in particular his principle that one should use the most paradoxical features of a case to crack it. This approach to the essential biological problems is not merely light-hearted, but a fascinating scrutiny of some very fundamental questions. 'I know of no other book that succeeds as well as this one in maintaining the central question in focus throughout. It is a summary of the best evolutionary thinking as applied to the origins...

Evolving the Mind: On the Nature of Matter and the Origin of Consciousness
ISBN: 9780521637558 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The next great revolution in science will undoubtedly be the emergence of a useful theory of consciousness--a theory based on our better understanding of molecules and brains and of the nature of science itself. Evolving the Mind broaches both of these themes, covering how ideas about the mind evolved in science and how the mind itself evolved in Nature. What Cairns-Smith does that is particularly compelling is to synthesize the contributions of a wide range of scientific disciplines (physics, molecular biology, brain science, and evolution) to bring science to the brink of a unified theory...

Berlioz: Volume One: The Making of an Artist, 1803-1832
ISBN: 9780520240568 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 674 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This biography of composer Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) describes with unprecedented intimacy, affection, and respect the life of one of France's greatest artists. After long being regarded as an oddity and an eccentric figure, Berlioz is now being accepted into the ranks of the great composers.

Voices from the Forest: Integrating Indigenous Knowledge Into Sustainable Upland Farming
ISBN: 9781891853913 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 826 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This handbook of locally based agricultural practices brings together the best of science and farmer experimentation, vividly illustrating the enormous diversity of shifting cultivation systems as well as the power of human ingenuity. Environmentalists have tended to disparage shifting cultivation (sometimes called 'swidden cultivation' or 'slash-and-burn agriculture') as unsustainable due to its supposed role in deforestation and land degradation. However, a growing body of evidence indicates that such indigenous practices, as they have evolved over time, can be highly adaptive to land and...
