Download or read book Dazzle Gradually written by Lynn Margulis and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2007-08-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the crossroads of philosophy and science, the sometimes-dry topics of evolution and ecology come alive in this new collection of essays--many never before anthologized. Learn how technology may be a sort of second nature, how the systemic human fungus Candida albicans can lead to cravings for carrot cake and beer, how the presence of life may be why there's water on Earth, and many other fascinating facts. The essay "Metametazoa" presents perspectives on biology in a philosophical context, demonstrating how the intellectual librarian, pornographer, and political agitator Georges Bataille was influenced by Russian mineralogist Vladimir Vernadsky and how this led to his notion of the absence of meaning in the face of the sun--which later influenced Jacques Derrida, thereby establishing a causal chain of influence from the hard sciences to topics as abstract as deconstruction and post-modernism. In "Spirochetes Awake" the bizarre connection between syphilis and genius in the life of Friedrich Nietzsche is traced. The astonishing similarities of the Acquired-Immune-Deficiency-Syndrome symptoms with those of chronic spirochete infection, it is argued, contrast sharply with the lack of evidence that "HIV is the cause of AIDS". Throughout these readings we are dazzled by the intimacy and necessity of relationships between us and our other planetmates. In our ignorance as "civilized" people we dismiss, disdain, and deny our kinship with the only productive life forms that sustain this living planet.

Book excerpt: A visually stunning look at innovative and eye-popping measures used to protect ships during World War I. During World War I, British and American ships were painted with bold colors and crazy patterns from bow to stern. Why would anyone put such eye-catching designs on ships?

These stunning patterns and colors were meant to confuse the enemy about a ship's speed and direction. By the end of the war, more than four thousand ships had been painted with these mesmerizing designs. Author Chris Barton and illustrator Victo Ngai vividly bring to life this little-known story of how the unlikely and the improbable became just plain dazzling.

This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates concerning the units and levels of selection have persisted for over fifty years. One major question in this literature is whether units and levels of selection are genuine, in the sense that they are objective features of the world, or merely reflect the interests and goals of an observer. Scientists and philosophers have proposed a range of answers to this question. This Element introduces this literature and proposes a novel contribution. It defends a realist stance and offers a way of delineating genuine levels of selection by invoking the notion of a functional unit.

Book excerpt: “A relentless social worker makes an intriguing amateur sleuth” in this southern crime novel, the first in a “promising new series” (Booklist). Two-year-old Michael Hennessey is found dead and his mother, Ashley is arrested. The only person who doesn’t believe Ashley Hennessey killed her son is Claire Conover, the social worker who put Michael back in his mother’s home. Claire believes Ashley has recovered from a life of booze and drugs and turned over a new leaf for the sake of her child. Now Claire just has to prove Ashley’s innocence to the police. There’s no shortage of other suspects. There’s the boyfriend who didn’t like being saddled with his girlfriend’s kid, and Ashley’s alcoholic stepfather with a shady past. And what about the boy’s mysterious father? But the search for answers is fraught with uncertainty as Claire comes up against her own doubts. Maybe she got it wrong. Maybe Ashley was using again. Maybe reuniting mother and son was a misjudgment Claire would regret for the rest of her life. Whatever the truth is, one thing is certain: Claire is about to uncover secrets that could ruin lives—or end her own. “Fenton puts her experiences as a social worker to good use in her promising debut. . . . With her fine ear for regional speech, Fenton may do for Birmingham what Margaret Maron has done for rural North Carolina.” —Publishers Weekly “A riveting story . . .
