Kluge: The Haphazard Evolution of the Human Mind
ISBN: 9780547238241 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) How is it that we can recognize photos from our high school yearbook decades later, but cannot remember what we ate for breakfast yesterday? And why are we inclined to buy more cans of soup if the sign says "LIMIT 12 PER CUSTOMER" rather than "LIMIT 4 PER CUSTOMER?" In Kluge, Gary Marcus argues convincingly that our minds are not as elegantly designed as we may believe. The imperfections result from a haphazard evolutionary process that often proceeds by piling new systems on top of old ones--and those systems don't always work well together. The end product is a "kluge," a clumsy,...

Guitar Zero: The Science of Becoming Musical at Any Age

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Just about every human being knows how to listen to music, but what does it take to make music? Is musicality something we are born with? Or a skill that anyone can develop at any time? If you don't start piano at the age of six, is there any hope? Is skill learning best left to children or can anyone reinvent him-or herself at any time? For anyone who has ever set out to play a musical instrument--or wished that they could--Guitar Zero is an inspiring and fascinating look at the pursuit of music, the mechanics of the mind, and the surprising rewards that come from following one's...

ISBN: 9780571236527 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) A 'kluge' is an engineering term for a makeshift solution, an inelegant construction that somehow works.

The Algebraic Mind: Integrating Connectionism and Cognitive Science
ISBN: 9780262632683 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In The Algebraic Mind, Gary Marcus attempts to integrate two theories about how the mind works, one that says that the mind is a computer-like manipulator of symbols, and another that says that the mind is a large network of neurons working together in parallel. Resisting the conventional wisdom that says that if the mind is a large neural network it cannot simultaneously be a manipulator of symbols, Marcus outlines a variety of ways in which neural systems could be organized so as to manipulate symbols, and he shows why such systems are more likely to provide an adequate substrate...

The Birth of the Mind: How a Tiny Number of Genes Creates the Complexities of Human Thought
ISBN: 9780465044061 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In The Birth of the Mind, award-winning cognitive scientist Gary Marcus irrevocably alters the nature vs. nurture debate by linking the findings of the Human Genome Project to the development of the brain. Scientists have long struggled to understand how a tiny number of genes could contain the instructions for building the human brain, arguably the most complex device in the known universe. Synthesizing up-to-the-minute research with his own original findings on child development, Marcus is the first to resolve this apparent contradiction. Vibrantly written and completely accessible...
