ISBN: 9781461271734 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 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...

ISBN: 9780387986920 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych.

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...

Shifting Cultivation Policies: Balancing Environmental and Social Sustainability
ISBN: 9781786391797 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 1076 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Shifting cultivation supports around 200 million people in the Asia-Pacific region alone. It is often regarded as a primitive and inefficient form of agriculture that destroys forests, causes soil erosion and robs lowland areas of water. These misconceptions and their policy implications need to be challenged. Swidden farming could support carbon sequestration and conservation of land, biodiversity and cultural heritage. This comprehensive analysis of past and present policy highlights successes and failures and emphasizes the importance of getting it right for the future.

The book recovers and reconnects Scottish thinkers from Hume and Reid in the eighteenth century, to Andrew Seth, Norman Kemp Smith and John Macmurray in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It contextualises their work in relation to the development of Scottish anthropology and psychology, from which emerged, in the work of Ian Suttie and R. D. Laing, some of the most significant challenges to Freudian psychology. Craig uses this Scottish tradition to...
