Book excerpt: Negado por los así llamados "creacionistas", que insisten en desconocer la teoría de la evolución, o apropiado por la psicología evolutiva, que ve allí la única clave para comprender la conducta humana, el legado de Darwin aparece hoy desdibujado por el fundamentalismo religioso o por las mitologías científicas. Pero, ¿qué nos dice la teoría de la evolución de los grandes temas: la existencia de Dios, nuestra visión de la naturaleza humana, nuestra relación con otras criaturas? Este libro sostiene que la teoría formulada por Darwin tiene consecuencias trascendentales para nuestra visión de nosotros mismos y de nuestro lugar en el universo. Y explica, con un lenguaje sencillo y claro, el alcance y los límites de dicha teoría, sus implicaciones sobre el mundo religioso, las ideas de raza y género o el estatus de los animales, precisando, también, los marcos del debate entre biología y cultura, y la decisiva importancia de ésta para comprender la conducta humana. Todos aquellos interesados en entender qué puede y qué no puede explicar la teoría de la evolución encontrarán aquí una magnífica introducción al tema. "La bella y sucinta explicación de la teoría evolutiva que hace Dupré es suficiente razón para comprar este libro." Tom Boncza-Tomaszewski, 'The Independent', Londres, 30 de octubre de 2005

Book excerpt: Charles Darwin transformed our understanding of the universe and our place in it with his development of the theory of evolution. 150 years later, we are still puzzling over the implications. John Dupre presents a lucid, witty introduction to evolution and what it means for our view of humanity, the natural world, and religion. He explains the right and the wrong ways to understand evolution: in the latter category fall most of the claims of evolutionary psychology, of which Dupre gives a withering critique. He shows why the theory of evolution is one of the most important scientific ideas of all time, but makes clear that it can't explain everything - contrary to widespread popular belief, it has very little to tell us about the details of human nature and human behaviour, such as language, culture, and sexuality. Darwin's Legacy clears a path through the confusion and controversy surrounding evolution; anyone who is interested in understanding what the theory of evolution can and can't do will find this a compelling and enjoyable introduction.

Download or read book Los de Arriba Y Sus Armas Mas Efectivas written by Miguel Javier and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-01-29 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La comunidad mundial, y especialmente la de Latinoamérica, por influencia de un grupo muy pequeño de inhumanos, ha actuado por siglos inconsciente de las verdades que rigen su manera de pensar y actuar ante determinadas circunstancias ignorando el porqué de una actitud completamente inductiva. No es casualidad que abracemos con ilógico conformismo un destino que besa con labios de serpiente y acaricia con dedos de navaja los frágiles cuerpos de hombres y mujeres autómatas que inocentemente ponen en manos de sus verdugos el afilado cuchillo que traspasara sus mismas gargantas.

Los De Arriba Y Sus Armas Más Efectivas presenta, de una manera clara y responsable, las estrategias usadas en las naciones por sectores internos y externos de ilimitado poder, para dar justificación a medios de control humanos que, implementados de una manera directa, serian simplemente rechazados por sus destinatarios. Este libro lleva a reconsiderar una amplia gama de irregularidades sociales toxicas que por largo tiempo han estado impregnadas en nuestras programadas mentes lo cual ha dado como resultado un descuido de grandes proporciones, y hemos caído en el gravísimo error de percibirlas como problemas fortuitos omitiendo adjudicarles un culpable.

Mediante la recopilación de datos y eventos históricos; fabulas y experiencias verídicas, esta obra también muestra sin tapujos como los desastres naturales y sociales, contrario a lo que muchos creen, son provocados o –en gran parte-tienen que ver directamente con el opaco y poco confiable mundo de la política. Esta obra es también un homenaje a países y personas admirables que con sus firmes pisadas y decisiones irreprochables han hecho posible el rostro positivo de este libro.

Download or read book Intimate Frontiers written by Felipe Martínez-Pinzón and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate Frontiers: A Literary Geography of the Amazon analyzes the ways in which the Amazon has been represented in twentieth century cultural production. With contributions by scholars working in Latin America, the US and Europe, Intimate Frontiers reads against the grain commonly held notions about the region —its gigantism, its richness, its exceptionality, among other— choosing to approach these rather from quotidian, everyday experiences of a more intimate nature. The multinational, pluriethnic corpus of texts critically examined here, explores a wide range of cultural artifacts including travelogues, diaries, and novels about the rubber boom genocide, as well as indigenous oral histories, documentary films, and photography about the region. The different voices gathered in this book show that the richness of the Amazon lays not in its natural resources or opportunities for economic exploit, but in the richness of its histories/stories in the form of songs, oral histories, images, material culture, and texts.

Download or read book Homo Sapiens written by Antonio Vélez Montoya and published by eLibros Editorial. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 919 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The themes discussed in this book, translated to English by Australian Kieran Tapsell, form part of a revolutionary discipline known under the name of evolutionary psychology, a discipline that has become the most powerful tool discovered to date for man to understand himself. Much of the knowledge revealed by human science is explained as a result of the evolutionary process, using as a premise the theory that the majority of modern man’s desires, impulses, interests and inclinations, and mental faculties were designed by the evolutionary process of the species. This new focus allows us to synthesize a group of already established findings, coming from such diverse disciplines as genetics, evolution, ethology, anthropology, psychology, neurology and epistemology. In this way, it is possible to explain an important part of complex human behavior under one sole, unifying principle: the direct or indirect search for a greater reproductive efficacy. With this work, easily readable by the general public, the author completes a cycle of subjects that he had begun with From the Big Bang to Homo Sapiens (2004), a book published in Spanish by Villegas Editores.

This book was released on 2014-12-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James William Nelson Novoa's new book Being the Nação in the Eternal City explores, in a set of case studies focusing on seven carefully chosen figures, the presence of Portuguese individuals of Jewish origin in Rome after the initial creation of a tribunal of the Portuguese Inquisition in 1531. The book delves into the varied ways in which the protagonists, representing a cross-section of Portuguese society, went about grappling with the complexities of a New Christian identity, and tracks them through their interactions with Roman society and its institutions. Some chose to flaunt Jewish origins. They espoused a sense of being part of a distinctive group, the Portuguese New Christian nação, that set them apart from other Portuguese. Others chose to blend as much as possible into the broader Iberian world represented at Rome, and avoided calling attention to their family past. All, however, had in their own way to work out the multiple shades of what was involved in being a Portuguese with Jewish roots needing to navigate the social and cultural pathways through Rome, the urban center of the Catholic Church. The book draws on archival research conducted in the Vatican, elsewhere in Italy, in Spain, and in Portugal. It brings a variety of sources to bear on the complex phenomenon of emergent group identities. It also proposes a critical reflexion on diasporas, the formation of sub-national communities, and on the structuring of collective memory in Early Modern Europe. The work will be useful to scholars and general readers interested in the Portuguese New Christian diaspora, in sixteenth century Rome, and in the dynamics of community consciousness in Early Modern Europe. In stock. Purchase direct from Baywolf Press / Éditions Baywolf & Portuguese Studies Review. Le nouvel ouvrage de James William Nelson Novoa, Being the Nação in the Eternal City, se penche sur la présence des Portugais d’origine juive à Rome après l’installation d’un tribunal de l’Inquisition au Portugal en 1531. Le livre présente, dans un cadre analytique, sept vignettes de personnages historiques. Il documente en particulier les façons dont ces agents, qui représentaient une coupe de la société portugaise contemporaine, choisirent d'affronter les exigences de leur nouvelle identité chrétienne, tout en jouant des interactions avec la société romaine et ses institutions. Certains affichaient leur racines juives. Ils épousaient un sens d'appartenir à un groupe particulier, la nação des Chrétiens Nouveaux d'origine portugaise. D’autres choisirent de s’intégrer le plus étroitement possible au petit monde des expatriés ibériques de toutes sortes à Rome, évitant d'afficher le passé.Tous durent affronter les multiples incertitudes pénombreuses d'être Portugais d’origine juive navigant entre les écueils culturels et sociaux de Rome, le siège urbain de l’Église catholique. L’ouvrage est un fruit de recherches menées en Italie, au Vatican, en Espagne, et au Portugal. Il invoque des sources diversifiées pour illuminer le phénomène complexe d'identités collectives émergentes. Il propose également des réflexions critiques au sujet de diasporas, de communautés sub-étatiques en créche, et de la mémoire collective au sein de l’Europe moderne naissante. Le livre s'adresse surtout à tous ceux, spécialistes ou non, qui s'intéressent à la diaspora des Nouveaux Chrétiens portugais, la ville de Rome au seizième siècle, et la dynamique formative communautaire au début de la période moderne.

Download or read book Doubt A History written by Jennifer Hecht and published by HarperOne. This book was released on 2003-10-14 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of grand sweeping histories such as From Dawn To Decadence, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and A History of God, Hecht champions doubt and questioning as one of the great and noble, if unheralded, intellectual traditions that distinguish the Western mind especially-from Socrates to Galileo and Darwin to Wittgenstein and Hawking. This is an account of the world's greatest ‘intellectual virtuosos,' who are also humanity's greatest doubters and disbelievers, from the ancient Greek philosophers, Jesus, and the Eastern religions, to modern secular equivalents Marx, Freud and Darwin—and their attempts to reconcile the seeming meaninglessness of the universe with the human need for meaning, This remarkable book ranges from the early Greeks, Hebrew figures such as Job and Ecclesiastes, Eastern critical wisdom, Roman stoicism, Jesus as a man of doubt, Gnosticism and Christian mystics, medieval Islamic, Jewish and Christian skeptics, secularism, the rise of science, modern and contemporary critical thinkers such as Schopenhauer, Darwin, Marx, Freud, Nietzsche, the existentialists.
