Secrets of the Mind: A Tale of Discovery and Mistaken Identity
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. How can we reconcile Shakespeare's account of human behavior and that of modern brain science? That's the central question addressed by the noted Glasgow chemist A.G. Cairns-Smith in this provocative, witty, and highly accessible discussion of conscious awareness, free will, and science. Written in a conversational style, Secrets of the Mind is not only a splendid introduction for the general reader to the central questions of consciousness and brain science, but a contribution to answering some of them.

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...

Conversations with Husserl and Fink
ISBN: 9789024717934 / Angielski / Twarda / 1976 / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This is an unusual volume. During his periods of study with Ed- mund Husserl - first from I924 1. 0 I926, then from I93I to I932 - Dorion Cairns had become imnlensely impressed with the stri- king philosophical quality of Husserl's conversations with his students and co-workers. Not unlike his daily writing (five to six hours a day was not uncommon, as Husserl reports herein, the nature of which was a continuous searching, reassessing, modi- fying, advancing and even rejecting of former views), Husserl's conversations, especially evidenced from Cairns's record, were remarkable for their depth...

Voices from the Forest: Integrating Indigenous Knowledge Into Sustainable Upland Farming
ISBN: 9781891853920 / Angielski / Miękka / 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...

End of Suffering: Finding Purpose in Pain
ISBN: 9781557255631 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "The extreme greatness of Christianity lies in the fact that it does not seek a supernatural remedy for suffering, but a supernatural use for it." -Simone Weil "Like most people I, too, have been blindsided by personal grief now and again over the years. And I have an increasingly keen sense that, wherever I am, someone nearby is suffering now. For that reason, I lately have settled in to mull the matter over, gathering my troubled wits to undertake a difficult essay, more like what we used to call an assay, really--an earnest inquiry. I am thinking of it just now as a... "The extreme greatness of Christianity lies in the fact that it does not seek a supernatural remedy for suffering, but a supernatural use for it." ... |
