The Ecology of Bruchids Attacking Legumes (Pulses): Proceedings of the International Symposium Held at Tours (France), April 16-19, 1980
ISBN: 9789048185252 / Angielski / Miękka / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As editor of this volume I am not going to emphasize the economic im- portance of the Bruchids of pulses, nor how necessary it is to know the conditions of infestation of crops in order to achieve an efficient protection; both points are testified by F.A.O.'s sponsorship, as well as of the International Organization for Biological Control. On the other hand I would like to stress the scientific interest of the study of 'domestic' bruchids. It raises questions which require that present basic entomological knowledge be extended. I am not going to review all questions raised but I will...

Science, God and the Nature of Reality: Bias in Biomedical Research
ISBN: 9781599425450 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This philosophy of science book is written by a biomedical scientist for a lay audience but is well-referenced for use by scientific readers and college course curricula. Its thesis is that the current paradigm in the biological and medical sciences, which is responsible for rejecting the existence of a Divine Being, is outdated. There is no factual basis for creating a dichotomy between evolution and Divine Design. Misconceptions about the nature of reality, i.e., the belief that matter is the ultimate cause of everything we think, feel, say, and do, have made it easy to ignore data...

Mechanisms of Life History Evolution: The Genetics and Physiology of Life History Traits and Trade-Offs
ISBN: 9780199568765 / Angielski / Twarda / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Life history theory seeks to explain the evolution of the major features of life cycles by analyzing the ecological factors that shape age-specific schedules of growth, reproduction, and survival and by investigating the trade-offs that constrain the evolution of these traits. Although life history theory has made enormous progress in explaining the diversity of life history strategies among species, it traditionally ignores the underlying proximate mechanisms. Mechanisms of Life History Evolution argues that many fundamental problems in life history evolution, including the nature of...

Evolution of Faith, Roots of the Origins Debate
ISBN: 9781936343522 / Angielski / Miękka / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The discussion of Darwinian of Evolution vs. Fiat Creation and the variants of each scenario has come to life periodically since the publication of Darwin's books in 1859 and 1871. The conversations have frequently produced more heat than light, especially when the teaching of these two theories has become entangled in the legal system. In fact, there has been very little open public discussion of the relevant verifiable evidence that might support the contradictory claims of each camp. Instead, the advocates of each viewpoint resemble the fans of professional sports teams, who root with...

Epigenetics: Linking Genotype and Phenotype in Development and Evolution
ISBN: 9780520267091 / Angielski / Twarda / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Illuminating the processes and patterns that link genotype to phenotype, epigenetics seeks to explain features, characters, and developmental mechanisms that can only be understood in terms of interactions that arise above the level of the gene. With chapters written by leading authorities, this volume offers a broad integrative survey of epigenetics. Approaching this complex subject from a variety of perspectives, it presents a broad, historically grounded view that demonstrates the utility of this approach for understanding complex biological systems in development, disease, and evolution....

The Evolution of Agency and Other Essays
ISBN: 9780521645379 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents a collection of linked essays written by one of the leading philosophers of biology, Kim Sterelny, on the topic of biological evolution. The first half of the book explores most of the main theoretical controversies about evolution and selection, while the second half applies some of these ideas in considering cognitive evolution. These essays, some never before published, form a coherent whole that defends not just an overall conception of evolution, but also a distinctive take on cognitive evolution.

Gender and Sexual Dimorphism in Flowering Plants
ISBN: 9783642084249 / Angielski / Miękka / 305 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While the majority of flowering plant species are hermaphroditic, gender di- morphism, or the occurrence of two sexual morphs, has, nevertheless, evolved on repeated occasions. Gender dimorphism is found in nearly half of all angio- sperm families and in approximately 10% of flowering plant species. Where plants are dimorphic in gender, they can also be dimorphic in secondary sex characters. We refer to dimorphism of the latter kind as sexual dimorphism, in keeping with the term's usage by most zoologists. This book is about the evolution of both forms of dimorphism -hence the book's lengthy...

Angeber Haben Mehr Vom Leben
ISBN: 9783827428073 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Hat Angeben einen Sinn? Was will der Pfau erreichen, der seine prachtigen Schwanzfedern ausbreitet? Wen beeindruckt das machtige Geweih des Platzhirsches? Und warum steigt der braungebrannte Jungling so cool aus seinem superschicken Cabriolet? Hat der, der angibt, mehr vom Leben? Und steht die Verschwendung von Ressourcen nicht in krassem Widerspruch zur Okonomie der Natur? Die Erklarungsmodelle, welche die Biologie und die Evolutionspsychologie fur Extravaganz, Ubertreibung und Show bei Tieren wie Menschen anzubieten haben, sind das Kernthema dieses ebenso aufschlussreichen wie...

Interdisciplinary Anthropology: Continuing Evolution of Man
ISBN: 9783642116674 / Angielski / Twarda / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume is the result of a research project entitled Evolutionary Continuity Human Specifics The Possibility of Objective Knowledge that was carried out by representatives of six academic disciplines (evolutionary biology, evolutionary anthropology, brain research, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology and philosophy) over a period of three and a half years. The starting point for the project was the newly emerging riddle of human uniqueness: though the uniqueness of human beings is undisputable, all explanations for this fact have successively been discarded or refuted in recent...

The Biology of Gobies
ISBN: 9781578084364 / Angielski / Twarda / 702 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Among all vertebrates, gobies are second in diversity only to the teleost family Cyprinidae. The Gobiidae consists of more than 200 genera and nearly 2,000 species and make up the largest family of marine fishes. Gobies account for as much as 50% of the energy flow in coral reef communities. Their small size, ability to adapt to numerous ecological niches and to be bred in aquaria has led to numerous studies both in the field and laboratory. Gobies are found from above the high tide line to depths of over 1,100 m. Some species are found only within caves, others deep inside sponges, and some...

With contributions from a team of leading experts, this volume provides a comprehensive survey of recent achievements in our scientific understanding of evolution. The questions it asks concern the beginnings of the universe, the origin of life and the chances of its arising at all, the role of contingency, and the search for universal features in the plethora of evolutionary phenomena. Rather than oversimplified or premature answers, the chapters provide a clear picture of how these essential problems are being tackled, enabling the reader to understand current thinking and open questions....

The Paradigm, or Tale? of Evolution: A Christian-Scientific Research
ISBN: 9781448605828 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the book "The Paradigm, or Tale? Of Evolution," the author, a Chemical Engineer, ex-atheist and now a Christian Pastor, presents the results of serious scientific researches on the subject of the origin of the universe and life. He demonstrate that the "Millions of Years" and the complexity of the subject of evolution is only a subtle and dangerous maneuver to divert the human attention of the true crucial point over the existence of the universe. He also reveals that in school, our children receive an INDOCTRINATION that makes them become atheists. As he says: "Could it have been a Wise,...

How and Why Species Multiply: The Radiation of Darwin's Finches
ISBN: 9780691149998 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charles Darwin's experiences in the Galapagos Islands in 1835 helped to guide his thoughts toward a revolutionary theory: that species were not fixed but diversified from their ancestors over many generations, and that the driving mechanism of evolutionary change was natural selection. In this concise, accessible book, Peter and Rosemary Grant explain what we have learned about the origin and evolution of new species through the study of the finches made famous by that great scientist: Darwin's finches. Drawing upon their unique observations of finch evolution over a...

The Human Condition
ISBN: 9781441993526 / Angielski / Twarda / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book summarizes the work of several decades, culminating in a revolutionary model of recent human evolution. It challenges current consensus views fundamentally, presenting in its support a mass of evidence, much of which has never been assembled before. This evidence derives primarily from archaeology, paleoanthropology, genetics, clinical psychology, neurosciences, linguistics and cognitive sciences. No even remotely similar thesis of recent human origins has ever been published, but some of the key elements of this book have been published by the author in major refereed journals in...

The Human Legacy
ISBN: 9780231056724 / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For more than a million years, man's utter dependence on technology has been producing a host of intricate problems. For example, we steadily reduce the need for human labor while finding ways to increase life expectancy. We mass produce the automobile without grasping the harsh effects it leaves on the environment. The Human Legacy concerns the evolution and development of man-physically, socially, psychologically-into the latest version of the species we see around us today. The author paints an intriguing picture of man, living in complex societies and trying to solve the...

Alfred Russel Wallace: A Rediscovered Life
ISBN: 9780979014192 / Angielski / Miękka / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For years Alfred Russel Wallace was little more than an obscure adjunct to Charles Darwin s theory of evolution. Remembered only for prompting Darwin to write "On the Origin of Species "in 1859 by writing his own letter proposing a theory of natural selection, Wallace was rightly dubbed by one biographer the forgotten naturalist. In 1998 Sahotra Sarkar bemoaned Wallace s lapse into obscurity, noting that "at least in the 19th century literature, the theory of evolution was usually referred to as the Darwin and Wallace theory . In the 20th century, the theory of evolution has become... For years Alfred Russel Wallace was little more than an obscure adjunct to Charles Darwin s theory of evolution.

The Invention of Ecocide
ISBN: 9780820338262 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As the public increasingly questioned the war in Vietnam, a group of American scientists deeply concerned about the use of Agent Orange and other herbicides started a movement to ban what they called "ecocide."David Zierler traces this movement, starting in the 1940s, when weed killer was developed in agricultural circles and theories of counterinsurgency were studied by the military. These two trajectories converged in 1961 with Operation Ranch Hand, the joint U.S.-South Vietnamese mission to use herbicidal warfare as a means to defoliate large areas of enemy territory.Driven by the idea...
