The Material Life of Human Beings: Artifacts, Behavior and Communication
ISBN: 9780415200332 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this work, the anthropological theorist, Michael Brian Schiffer, presents a challenge to the social sciences. Through a broad range of examples, he demonstrates how theories of behaviour and communication have too often ignored the fundamental importance of objects in human life. In this work the author builds upon the premise that the most important feature of human life is not symbolic language but the incessant and diverse transactions which take place between people and myriad artefacts. The author shows that artefacts are involved in all modes of human communication - be they visual,...

Anthropological Perspectives on Technology
ISBN: 9780826350398 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. These fourteen original essays accept a dual premise: technology pervades and is embedded in all human activities. By taking that approach, studies of technology address two questions central in anthropological and archaeological research today-accounting for variability and change. These diverse yet interrelated chapters show that to understand human lives, researchers must deal with the material world that all peoples create and inhabit. Therefore an anthropology of technology is not a separate, discrete inquiry; instead, it is a way to connect how people make and use things to any activity...

Draw the Lightning Down: Benjamin Franklin and Electrical Technology in the Age of Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780520248298 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 397 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Most of us know--at least we've heard--that Benjamin Franklin conducted some kind of electrical experiment with a kite. What few of us realize--and what this book makes powerfully clear--is that Franklin played a major role in laying the foundations of modern electrical science and technology. This fast-paced book, rich with historical details and anecdotes, brings to life Franklin, the large international network of scientists and inventors in which he played a key role, and their amazing inventions. We learn what these early electrical devices--from lights and motors to musical and medical...

Technological Perspectives on Behavioral Change
ISBN: 9780816511952 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Human societies have always been characterized by a dependence on artifacts, from prehistoric stone tools to modern electronic devices. Technology responds to and affects virtually all human behavior; yet the interdependence of behavior and artifacts has never been studied intensively. Archaeologist Schiffer now draws on his discipline's familiarity with artifacts--and the processes of change they reveal--to offer new insight into the study of behavioral change. Drawing on case studies that deal with changes in architecture, ceramics and electronic technology, he emphasizes the central idea...

ISBN: 9780816512843 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As an artifact of culture, the portable radio is an unusual but perfect subject for investigation by archaeologist Schiffer. Seeing the history of everyday objects as the history of the life of a people, he shows how the portable radio has reflected changes in American society as surely as clay pots have for ancient cultures.

A TD-based model of the justification of effort effect
ISBN: 9783639283150 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The temporal-difference model has very successfully been implemented to capture midbrain dopaminergic activity in a large number of reward related learning tasks. We tested its applicability as an explanation for the justification of effort effect in pigeons. This effect from the paradigm of cognitive dissonance has formerly been attributed to affective states, but to our knowledge no neurophysiologic explanation has been tested. We were not able to replicate the behavioural effect but found confirming evidence of activity in accordance with the predictions of temporal-difference ...
