Upside-Down Gods: Gregory Bateson's World of Difference
ISBN: 9780823270347 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Science's conventional understanding of environment as an inert material resource underlies our unwillingness to acknowledge the military-industrial role in ongoing ecological catastrophes. In a crucial challenge to modern science's exclusive attachment to materialist premises, Bateson reframed culture, psychology, biology, and evolution in terms of feedback and communication, fundamentally altering perception of our relationship with nature. This intellectual biography covers the whole trajectory of Bateson's career, from his first anthropological work alongside Margaret Mead through the...

Phase Transitions
ISBN: 9780691150758 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Phase transitions--changes between different states of organization in a complex system--have long helped to explain physics concepts, such as why water freezes into a solid or boils to become a gas. How might phase transitions shed light on important problems in biological and ecological complex systems? Exploring the origins and implications of sudden changes in nature and society, Phase Transitions examines different dynamical behaviors in a broad range of complex systems. Using a compelling set of examples, from gene networks and ant colonies to human language and the...

Systems Analysis by Graphs and Matroids: Structural Solvability and Controllability
ISBN: 9783540176596 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Recent technology involves large-scale physical or engineering systems consisting of thousands of interconnected elementary units. This monograph illustrates how engineering problems can be solved using the recent results of combinatorial mathematics through appropriate mathematical modeling. The structural solvability of a system of linear or nonlinear equations as well as the structural controllability of a linear time-invariant dynamical system are treated by means of graphs and matroids. Special emphasis is laid on the importance of relevant physical observations to successful...

Studies on the Optimal Search Plan
ISBN: 9780387977393 / Angielski / Miękka / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Search theory is concerned with the location of a 'target' given imprecise information concerning its location. The subject has a variety of applications such as locating missing people in wilderness or at sea, searching for mineral deposits, medical diagnosis, and searching for malfunctions in industrial processes. This volume is concerned with search strategies which are optimal in the sense that they minimize the 'risk' or cost of a search where this may be measured in factors such as time or money. Consequently, the author discusses a range of mathematical techniques including non-linear...

Instrumental Reasoning and Systems Methodology: An Epistemology of the Applied and Social Sciences
ISBN: 9789027710819 / Angielski / Miękka / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book has been written primarily for the applied and social scientist and student who longs for an integrated picture of the foundations on which his research must ultimately rest; but hopefully the book may also serve philosophers interested in applied disciplines and in systems methodology. If integration was the major motto, the need for a method ology, appropriate to the teleological peculiarities of all applied sciences, was the main impetus behind the conception of the present work. This need I felt a long time ago in my own area of analytical and empirical research in accounting...
