Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Man-an Adaptive Mechanism For more than twenty years, the general theme treated in this volume has been under investigation in my laboratory and my clinic, and the volumes published during that time have recorded the steps by which I have approached the theories here presented. The accumulated experimental and clinical data are so extensive that summaries only are given in the present volume, which is an argument for the main thesis, that man is essentially an energy-transforming mechanism, obeying the laws of physics, as do other mechanisms. In presenting this thesis, certain hypotheses have been freely employed where the data were insufficient that they may furnish a working basis upon which to accumulate additional data. An hypothesis - incomplete or even false - is so easily demolished that it can do little harm; while the presentation of a "false fact" may produce pernicious results. To no one are the imperfections and shortcomings of this presentation more apparent than to the author, who lays no claim to expert knowledge in any one of the several sciences involved in attempting a synthesis of such wide scope.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Adaptation of External Nature to the Physical Condition of Man, Principally With Reference to the Supply of His Wants, and the Exercise of His Intellectual Faculties In the mineral kingdom the most characteristic property of the se veral species appears to be a disposition to a pecular mode of mutual attraction among the particles composing the individuals belonging to them; from which attraction, when exerted under the most favour able circumstances, result that symmetry and regularity of form, to which the term crystal has been applied. The transparency and degree of hardness of crystals are various, and depend much upon external circumstances. The form is fundamentally the same for each species, though capable of being modified according to known laws; and the substance is chemically the same throughout its whole extent. Every atom of a crystallized mass of gypsum consists of water, lime, and sulphuric acid, united in the same proportions as are found to exist in the whole mass, or in any given part of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Man, in His Physical Structure and Adaptations There is a beautiful allegory in the Book of Job, which, like every allegory in the Sacred Volume, is applicable to all conditions of men, and all pursuits in which they can engage. Job is afflicted; and, being in ignorance of the cause, he laments, and labours to discover it. His three wise and learned friends come to comfort him by pointing out the justice of his affliction, and they lecture him on the stubbornness of his ignorance; but Job rejects their schooling with all the boldness of a man conscious of his own integrity, and appeals from them to the judgment of his Maker. Then Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, a young man who lays no claim to wisdom, comes forward to plead with Job, "in God's stead," as Job himself had wished - that is, in the simple voice of nature.

Download or read book Adaptation and Natural Selection written by George Christopher Williams and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological evolution is a fact—but the many conflicting theories of evolution remain controversial even today. When Adaptation and Natural Selection was first published in 1966, it struck a powerful blow against those who argued for the concept of group selection—the idea that evolution acts to select entire species rather than individuals. Williams’s famous work in favor of simple Darwinism over group selection has become a classic of science literature, valued for its thorough and convincing argument and its relevance to many fields outside of biology. Now with a new foreword by Richard Dawkins, Adaptation and Natural Selection is an essential text for understanding the nature of scientific debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Man, Vol. 2: Man, Culture and Society On November 24, 1859, Charles Darwin at last saw in print the manu script over which he had labored for almost a quarter of a century, the book whose ponderous title has become the familiar Origin of Species. The world had been waiting, and in a single day the first edition of was sold out. One hundred years later, the day was celebrated as marking one of those events that influence the career of man by changing his perspective of himself and his place in the universe. In December of 1955 the University of Chicago began planning its celebration of the centenary in the most appropriate manner - bring ing to bear, on the subject of evolution, current knowledge from a variety of relevant fields, thus advancing once more our understanding of the world and man. About fifty scientists were selected during 1956, and their themes were agreed upon; during 1957 and 1958, they developed the papers that are published here. As these were completed, they were exchanged among the authors. Armed with new information and insights, all but five of the authors met at the University on November 22, 1959, to prepare for panel discussions Of the issues in evolution which were to be held for the public during the five-day Celebration, beginning on the Centennial of the publication date of Origin of Species. The dis eussions were based on the papers that had been distributed in ad vance, but the papers themselves were not delivered at the Celebration.

Download or read book Adaptation to Life written by George E. Vaillant and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1939 and 1942, one of America's leading universities recruited 268 of its healthiest and most promising undergraduates to participate in a revolutionary new study of the human life cycle. The originators of the program, which came to be known as the Grant Study, felt that medical research was too heavily weighted in the direction of disease, and their intent was to chart the ways in which a group of promising individuals coped with their lives over the course of many years. Nearly forty years later, George E. Vaillant, director of the Study, took the measure of the Grant Study men. The result was the compelling, provocative classic, Adaptation to Life, which poses fundamental questions about the individual differences in confronting life's stresses. Why do some of us cope so well with the portion life offers us, while others, who have had similar advantages (or disadvantages), cope badly or not at all? Are there ways we can effectively alter those patterns of behavior that make us unhappy, unhealthy, and unwise? George Vaillant discusses these and other questions in terms of a clearly defined scheme of "adaptive mechanisms" that are rated mature, neurotic, immature, or psychotic, and illustrates, with case histories, each method of coping.
