In this important and challenging book, Wolfgang Kohler's subject is value, or what he calls the "requiredness" of an object or activity. Starting with a descriptive account of values as we become aware of them, he finds that, inside certain contexts, parts of such structures do not appear as indifferent facts. They are experienced as belonging there intrinsically or, also, as being out of place in their contexts.
Kohler's closely reasoned analysis, drawing on the fields of psychology, biology, and physics, centers around this concept of requiredness. Certain things in nature belong...

Wolfgang Koehler (1887-1967) was one of the founders of Gestalt psychology, the influential school that argues that perception is best understood as an organized pattern rather than as separate parts. This book presents Koehler's statement of Gestalt theory.

Kohler's classic analysis of the intelligence of apes marks a turning point in the psychology of thinking. Through meticulously described experiments, his two-fold aim is to ascertain the degree of relationship between the intellectual capacity of anthropoid apes and of man and to gain insight into the nature of intelligent acts."

KNX/EIB is a popular standard in building automation. EIBsec is an extension to this standard and supports secure communication. Its concepts are required to implement KNX/EIB in security critical applications like access control and security alarm systems. The performance of KNX/EIB and its extension EIBsec will be analysed by building a simulation. Frameworks for such a simulation will be compared to each other. Furthermore, the simulation framework OMNeT++, which allows the building of a KNX/EIB based network, will be presented in detail. The modelling of the object structure takes special...

Originally published in 1924, this early work on the intelligence of Apes is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It comprehensively details the observations of a scientific study on the ability of Apes to make, use and handle tools. This is a fascinating work and highly recommended for anyone interested in primate psychology. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

One of the pioneers of Gestalt psychology, Wolfgang Kohler (1887-1967) broke new ground in numerous areas of human thought. This collection of writings spans Kohler's brilliant and productive career, beginning with his earliest formulations of Gestalt theory through to his last scientific paper--a perceptive overview of the significant advances of Gestalt psychology. Many of these essays have never before been published in English. Together they illustrate the diversified, highly innovative contributions of this great psychologist. But they go beyond that to clarify problems in psychology,...
