The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals
ISBN: 9780226136561 / Angielski / Miękka / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Darwin's work of 1872 still provides the point of departure for research in the theory of emotion and expression. Although he lacked the modern research tool of cybernetics, his basic methods have not been improved upon: the study of infants, of the insane, of paintings and sculpture, of some of the commoner animals; the use of photographs of expression submitted to different judges; and the comparative study of expression among different peoples. This new edition will be warmly welcomed by those behavioral scientists who have recently shown an intense interest in the scientific study of...

The Politics of Evolution: Morphology, Medicine, and Reform in Radical London
ISBN: 9780226143743 / Angielski / Miękka / 514 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Looking for the first time at the cut-price anatomy schools rather than genteel Oxbridge, Desmond winkles out pre-Darwinian evolutionary ideas in reform-minded and politically charged early nineteenth-century London. In the process, he reveals the underside of London intellectual and social life in the generation before Darwin as it has never been seen before.
""The Politics of Evolution" is intellectual dynamite, and certainly one of the most important books in the history of science published during the past decade." Jim Secord, "Times Literary Supplement" "One of those rare books...

Darwin and the General Reader: The Reception of Darwin's Theory of Evolution in the British Periodical Press, 1859-1872
ISBN: 9780226204871 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Drawing on his investigation of over one hundred mid-Victorian British newspapers and periodicals, Alvar Ellegard describes and analyzes the impact of Darwin's theory of evolution during the first dozen years after the publication of the "Origin of Species." Although Darwin's book caused an immediate stir in literary and scientific periodicals, the popular press largely ignored it. Only after the work's implications for theology and the nature of man became evident did general publications feel compelled to react; each social group responded according to his own political and religious...

Shaking the Tree: Readings from Nature in the History of Life
ISBN: 9780226284972 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Nature" has published news about the history of life ever since its first issue in 1869, in which T. H. Huxley ("Darwin's bulldog") wrote about Triassic dinosaurs. In recent years, the field has enjoyed a tremendous flowering due to new investigative techniques drawn from cladistics (a revolutionary method for charting evolutionary relationships) and molecular biology.
"Shaking the Tree" brings together nineteen review articles written for "Nature" over the past decade by many of the major figures in paleontology and evolution, from Stephen Jay Gould to Simon Conway Morris. Each article... "Nature" has published news about the history of life ever since its first issue in 1869, in which T. H. Huxley ("Darwin's bulldog") wrote about Trias...

Science as a Process: An Evolutionary Account of the Social and Conceptual Development of Science
ISBN: 9780226360515 / Angielski / Miękka / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Legend is overdue for replacement, and an adequate replacement must attend to the process of science as carefully as Hull has done. I share his vision of a serious account of the social and intellectual dynamics of science that will avoid both the rosy blur of Legend and the facile charms of relativism. . . . Because of Hull's] deep concern with the ways in which research is actually done, "Science as a Process" begins an important project in the study of science. It is one of a distinguished series of books, which Hull himself edits." Philip Kitcher, "Nature

Evolutionary Patterns: Growth, Form, and Tempo in the Fossil Record
ISBN: 9780226389318 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With all the recent advances in molecular and evolutionary biology, one could almost wonder why we need the fossil record. Molecular sequence data can resolve taxonomic relationships, experiments with fruit flies demonstrate evolution and development in real time, and field studies of Galapagos finches have provided the strongest evidence for natural selection ever measured in the wild. What, then, can fossils teach us that living organisms cannot?

Tangled Trees: Phylogeny, Cospeciation, and Coevolution
ISBN: 9780226644677 / Angielski / Miękka / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To explore evolutionary relationships among organisms, biologists construct and compare phylogenetic trees, not unlike the family trees traced for humans by genealogists. In recent years, the use of molecular data to build these trees and sophisticated computer-aided techniques to analyze them have led to a revolution in the study of cospeciation (the joint speciation of two or more lineages that are ecologically associated, such as hosts and parasites).

Making Sense of Evolution: The Conceptual Foundations of Evolutionary Biology
ISBN: 9780226668376 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Making Sense of Evolution explores contemporary evolutionary biology, focusing on the elements of theories--selection, adaptation, and species--that are complex and open to multiple possible interpretations, many of which are incompatible with one another and with other accepted practices in the discipline. Particular experimental methods, for example, may demand one understanding of "selection," while the application of the same concept to another area of evolutionary biology could necessitate a very different definition.

Evolution: A Scientific American Reader
ISBN: 9780226742694 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925 to the court ruling against the Dover Area School Board s proposed intelligent design curriculum in 2005, few scientific topics have engendered as much controversy or grabbed as many headlines as evolution. And since the debate shows no signs of abating, there is perhaps no better time to step back and ask: What is evolution? Defined as the gradual process by which something changes into a different and usually more complex and efficient form, evolution explains the formation of the universe, the nature of viruses, and the emergence of humans. A... From the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925 to the court ruling against the Dover Area School Board s proposed intelligent design curriculum in 2005, few ... |

The Coevolutionary Process
ISBN: 9780226797601 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Traditional ecological approaches to species evolution have frequently studied too few species, relatively small areas, and relatively short time spans. In "The Coevolutionary Process, " John N. Thompson advances a new conceptual approach to the evolution of species interactions the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution. Thompson demonstrates how an integrated study of life histories, genetics, and the geographic structure of populations yields a broader understanding of coevolution, or the development of reciprocal adaptations and specializations in interdependent species.

The Geographic Mosaic of Coevolution
ISBN: 9780226797625 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Coevolution--reciprocal evolutionary change in interacting species driven by natural selection--is one of the most important ecological and genetic processes organizing the earth's biodiversity: most plants and animals require coevolved interactions with other species to survive and reproduce. The Geographic Mosaic of Coevolution analyzes how the biology of species provides the raw material for long-term coevolution, evaluates how local coadaptation forms the basic module of coevolutionary change, and explores how the coevolutionary process reshapes locally coevolving interactions...

Darwin's Cathedral: Evolution, Religion, and the Nature of Society
ISBN: 9780226901350 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the great intellectual battles of modern times is between evolution and religion. Until now, they have been considered completely irreconcilable theories of origin and existence. David Sloan Wilson's "Darwin's Cathedral" takes the radical step of joining the two, in the process proposing an evolutionary theory of religion that shakes both evolutionary biology and social theory at their foundations.
The key, argues Wilson, is to think of society as an organism, an old idea that has received new life based on recent developments in evolutionary biology. If society is an organism, can...
