Download or read book The Hidden Life of Life written by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An iconoclast and best-selling author of both nonfiction and fiction, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has spent a lifetime observing, thinking, and writing about the cultures of animals such as lions, wolves, dogs, deer, and humans. In this compulsively readable book, she provides a plainspoken, big-picture look at the commonality of life on our planet, from the littlest microbes to the largest lizards. Inspired by the idea of symbiosis in evolution—that all living things evolve in a series of cooperative relationships—Thomas takes readers on a journey through the progression of life. Along the way she shares the universal likenesses, experiences, and environments of “Gaia’s creatures,” from amoebas in plant soil to the pets we love, from proud primates to Homo sapiens hunter-gatherers on the African savanna. Fervently rejecting “anthropodenial,” the notion that nonhuman life does not share characteristics with humans, Thomas instead shows that paramecia can learn, plants can communicate, humans aren’t really as special as we think we are—and that it doesn’t take a scientist to marvel at the smallest inhabitants of the natural world and their connections to all living things. A unique voice on anthropology and animal behavior, Thomas challenges scientific convention and the jargon that prevents us all from understanding all living things better. This joyfully written book is a fascinating look at the challenges and behaviors shared by creatures from bacteria to larvae to parasitic fungi, a potted hyacinth to the author herself, and all those in between.

Download or read book Hidden in Historicism written by Harry Jansen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden in Historicism considers how the nineteenth-century philosophy of historicism depicts three "forgotten time regimes": a time of rise and fall, an ambiguous time of synchronicity of the non-synchronous, and a time in which decisive moments dominate. Before the eighteenth century, time was past-oriented. This inversed in the Enlightenment, when the future became dominating. Today, this time of progress continues to be embraced as a "time of the modern". Yet, inequality, increasing violence and climate change lead to doubts over a bright future. In this book, Harry Jansen moves away from the heritage of Reinhart Koselleck and his single time of the modern towards a historicist, threefold temporal approach to history writing. In the time regime of the twenty-first century past, present and future coexist. It is a heterogeneous time that takes on the three forms of historicism. Jansen’s study shows how all three times exist together in current historiography and contribute to a better understanding of the world today. Based on the idea that an incarnated time rules everything that happens it reality, the book offers a fresh perspective on the ongoing discussion about time and time regimes in contemporary philosophy and theory of history for students and scholars, both time specialists and the non-specialist.

Download or read book The Folks written by Ruth Suckow and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 1992-02 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an introspective, poignant portrait of an American family during a time of sweeping changes. Now nearly sixty years after it first appeared, Suckow's finest work still displays a thorough realism in its characters' actions and aspirations; the uneasy compromises they are forced to make still ring true. Suckow's talent for retrospective analysis comes to life as she examines her own people—Iowans, descendants of early settlers—through the lives of the Ferguson family, living in the fictional small town of Belmond, Iowa. Using her gift of creating three-dimensional, living characters, Suckow focuses on personal differences within the family and each member's separate struggle to make sense of past and present, to confront a pervasive sense of loss as a way of life disappears.
Download or read book The Exhaustive Dictionary of Bible Names written by Judson Cornwall and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Search Stops Here! Every name in the Bible is included in The Exhaustive Dictionary of Bible Names. Your own relationship with God will be enriched as you gain in-depth understanding of the meanings of biblical names. Whether you are looking for a biblical name for your child, or doing in-depth research, this book of scriptural treasures will have what you are looking for — and more. Every biblical name and its various shades of Greek or Hebrew meanings The nearly 40 self-revealing names for God The 275 descriptive titles for Jesus The 100 scriptural designations for Christians In western culture we seldom pay attention to the meanings of names. However, we often give people nicknames based on their personalities and character traits. In a similar way, names given in biblical times had much to say about the character, prophetic calling, or circumstances at the time of a person's birth. For instance, Jacob’s name (he stole the firstborn blessing from Esau) means "supplanter" (or trickster). God later changed his name to “Israel,” which means, “He will be a prince with God” or “One who prevails with God.” In the final book of the Bible, one of the promises given to overcomers is that they will be given “a new name.” (See Revelation 2:17.) It is very clear that names are important! Grow in your knowledge of God’s nature and character. Have a greater understanding of Scripture. Find a biblical name with specific meaning and purpose for your child.

Bruno guides readers through these modern strands of interpretation, examines their historical, theological, and socio-political context, and discusses the hermeneutical underpinnings of the modern discussion of Augustine’s social and political thought.
Download or read book Influence of Inter and Intra Synaptic Factors on Information Processing in the Brain written by Vito Di Maio and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any brain activity relies on the interaction of thousands of neurons, each of which integrating signals from thousands of synapses. While neurons are undoubtedly the building blocks of the brain, synapses constitute the main loci of information transfer that lead to the emergence of neuronal code. Investigating synaptic transmission constitutes a multi-faceted challenge that brings together a large number of techniques and expertise ranging from experimental to computational approaches, bringing together paradigms spanning from molecular to neural network level. In this book, we have collected a series of articles that present foundational work aimed at shedding much-needed light on brain information processing, synaptic transmission and neural code formation. Some articles present analyses of regulatory mechanisms underlying neural code formation and its elaboration at the molecular level, while others use computational and modelling approaches to investigate, at synaptic, neuronal and inter-neuronal level, how the different mechanisms involved in information processing interact to generate effects like long-term potentiation (LTP), which constitutes the cellular basis of learning and memory. This collection, although not exhaustive, aims to present a framework of the most used investigational paradigms and showcase results that may, in turn, generate novel hypotheses and ideas for further studies and investigations.
Download or read book Is Birdsong Music written by Hollis Taylor and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A ground-breaking study of the songs of the pied butcherbird . . . intellectually engaging and also very entertaining as a fieldwork memoir.” —The Music Trust How and when does music become possible? Is it a matter of biology, or culture, or an interaction between the two? Revolutionizing the way we think about the core values of music and human exceptionalism, Hollis Taylor takes us on an outback road trip to meet the Australian pied butcherbird. Recognized for their distinct timbre, calls, and songs, both sexes of this songbird sing in duos, trios, and even larger choirs, transforming their flute-like songs annually. While birdsong has long inspired artists, writers, musicians, and philosophers, and enthralled listeners from all walks of life, researchers from the sciences have dominated its study. As a field musicologist, Taylor spends months each year in the Australian outback recording the songs of the pied butcherbird and chronicling their musical activities. She argues persuasively in these pages that their inventiveness in song surpasses biological necessity, compelling us to question the foundations of music and confront the remarkably entangled relationship between human and animal worlds. Equal parts nature essay, memoir, and scholarship, Is Birdsong Music? offers vivid portraits of the extreme locations where these avian choristers are found, quirky stories from the field, and an in-depth exploration of the vocalizations of the pied butcherbird. “Hollis Taylor has given us one of the most serious books ever written on animal music. Is Birdsong Music? is so engaging that all who care about humanity’s place on Earth should read it. We are certainly not the only musicians on this planet.” —David Rothenberg, author of Why Birds Sing

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The City of God, Volume II Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine - "The glorious city of God is my theme in this work; which you; my dearest son Marcellinus; suggested; and which is due to you by my promise. I have undertaken its defence against those who prefer their own gods to the Founder of this city;a city surpassingly glorious; whether we view it as it still lives by faith in this fleeting course of time; and sojourns as a stranger in the midst of the ungodly; or as it shall dwell in the fixed stability of its eternal seat; which it now with patience waits for; expecting until "righteousness shall return unto judgment;" and it obtain; by virtue of its excellence; final victory and perfect peace. A great work this; and an arduous; but God is my helper." -an excerpt
