Download or read book L neas written by Tim Ingold and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2015-03-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿En qué se parecen caminar, tejer, observar, narrar, cantar, dibujar y escribir? La repuesta es que, de uno u otro modo, todo lo anterior se lleva a cabo a través de líneas. Visto así, la Historia entera es una línea, compuesta por pequeñas líneas. En este libro Tim Ingold imagina un mundo en el que todos y todo se compone de líneas entrelazadas o in-terconectadas y sienta las bases de una nueva disciplina: la ar-queología antropológica de la línea. El argumento de Ingold nos lleva a través de la música de la antigua Grecia y del Japón contemporáneo, por laberintos de Siberia y vías ro-manas, por la caligrafía china y el alfabeto impreso, tejiendo un camino entre la antigüedad y el presente. Ingold revela cómo nuestra percepción de las líneas ha cambiado en el tiempo, con la modernidad antes de convertirse en recta, la línea es un conjunto de puntos, pero el mundo posmoderno la rompe y fragmenta para estudiarla mejor. Tim Ingold utiliza para su estudio muchas disciplinas, como la Arqueolo-gía, Estudios Clásicos, Historia del Arte, la Lingüística, la Psicología, la Musicología, la Filosofía y muchos otros. Este libro nos lleva por un viaje intelectual estimulante que va a cambiar la manera en que vemos el mundo y la forma en que vamos por el mismo.
Download or read book Life and Evolution written by Lorenzo Baravalle and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-10 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers to the international reader a collection of original articles of some of the most skillful historians and philosophers of biology currently working in Latin American universities. During the last decades, increasing attention has been paid in Latin America to the history and philosophy of biology, but since many local authors prefer to write in Spanish or in Portuguese, their ideas have barely crossed the boundaries of the continent. This volume aims to remedy this state of things, providing a good sample of this production to the English speaking readers, bringing together contributions from researchers working in Brazilian, Argentinean, Chilean, Colombian and Mexican universities. The stress on the regional provenance of the authors is not intended to suggest the existence of something like a Latin American history and philosophy of biology, supposedly endowed with distinctive features. On the contrary, the editors firmly believe that advances in this field can be achieved only by stimulating the integration in the international debate. Based on this assumption, the book focuses on two topics, life and evolution, and presents a selection of contributions addressing issues such as the history of the concept of life, the philosophical reflection on life manipulation and life extension, the structure and development of evolutionary theory as well as human evolution. Life and Evolution – Latin American Essays on the History and Philosophy of Biology will provide the international reader with a rather complete picture of the ongoing research in the history and philosophy of biology in Latin America, offering a snapshot of this dynamic community. It will also contribute to contextualize and develop the debate concerning life and evolution, and the relation between the two phenomena.
Download or read book The Evolution of Metabolic Function written by Robert P. Mortlock and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-05-20 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Evolution of Metabolic Function presents comprehensive discussions on a variety of topics that will interest scientists and students studying the evolution of enzyme activities, the evolution of enzymatic pathways, and the evolution and development of metabolic functions. Laboratory experiments designed to develop new enzyme activities and new metabolic pathways are discussed. The most recent techniques comparing protein and gene structures are used to analyze and discuss the evolution and development of such metabolic functions as the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system, the mandelate pathway of microorganisms, bacterial alcohol metabolism, and certain microbial amino acid biosynthetic pathways. The book also includes some unique speculations regarding the origin of early Archaean cells and the prebiotic evolution of complex molecules.

Download or read book Evoluci n y complejidad written by Jordi Bascompte Sacrets and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les espècies evolucionen, canvien amb el pas del temps i així ho va constatar i argumentar Charles Darwin. El que té entre les mans és una obra que intenta integrar dues grans visions de l?evolució que sovint es presenten enfrontades. D?una banda, la visió que emfatitza la contingència, els accidents congelats i la irreversibilitat, i determina una ciència eminentment històrica. De l?altra, la visió més racio¬nal, basada en la comprensió dels processos d?auto¬organització semblants als d?altres sistemes físics allunyats de l?equilibri termodinàmic, i que determina una ciència estructuralista. El resultat és una visió més rica i plural del fenomen evolutiu, en la qual es posen en evidència els paradigmes clàssics. Una revisió acurada de la visió més ortodoxa de l?evolució a la recerca d?explicacions teòriques que van més enllà dels límits de la biologia.

This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un panorama general, básico y didáctico sobre la singularidad genética y biológica de la especie humana. Tras la creación del universo con el big-bang hace 13.700 millones de años brotó la vida en un planeta idóneo para su expansión y diversificación. En el libro se detallan los mecanismos de la evolución y de la aparición del Homo sapiens a partir de unos ancestros prehomínidos en el centro de África, hasta su expansión por todo el mundo. Se describen los procesos de la hominización y humanización y las especiales características del ser humano. Se explica el significado del “fenómeno humano” y el por qué y el cómo del resurgir de una especie tan singular. La única que asciende al mundo de la racionalidad y que en consecuencia vive su vida de forma consciente, se comunica con sus congéneres, crea la cultura y domina su entorno con un sentido ético y de trascendencia. En el libro se describen los fundamentos genéticos de nuestros rasgos biológicos, los determinantes genéticos y ambientales que influyen en el comportamiento humano, las enfermedades hereditarias y los detalles de nuestro genoma en relación con el de los demás seres vivos. Se distingue entre lo innato y lo adquirido. Se derriban los mitos y se asientan las pruebas de lo que es genuinamente humano y lo que no lo es. También se aborda el futuro de la humanidad en la era de las tecnologías emergentes, con los desafíos éticos de la manipulación genética y las corrientes materialistas que tratan de conducir a nuestra singular especie a la utopía transhumanista y posthumanista.

Download or read book Episentido3 written by Hilario Casarin and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los sistemas complejos, cada problema, debe ser tratado en detalle partiendo de cero, y poco o nada de lo aprendido al resolver un sistema anterior nos puede ayudar a entender uno nuevo. En los sistemas caóticos, de dos condiciones iniciales ligeramente distintas se obtienen, en el tiempo, dos soluciones dramáticamente diferentes. Casi todos los sistemas reales son termodinámicamente abiertos, mientras que los sistemas aislados, fuera de ser considerados sólo teóricamente, son raros en la naturaleza. La naturaleza sigue el principio del orden a partir del caos o desorden, contrario diametralmente al que estipula la física clásica, que va del orden al desorden, La visión del mundo de los sistemas complejos exige una nueva forma de hacer ciencia. La complejidad, un travestista del enfoque ético sistémico, intenta dar solución a problemas considerados como críticos, y crítico es todo lo que desconocemos, y para acceder a lo desconocido, según las reglas actuales, se reclama un episentido.
