Download or read book Evolution in Four Dimensions revised edition written by Eva Jablonka and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering proposal for a pluralistic extension of evolutionary theory, now updated to reflect the most recent research. This new edition of the widely read Evolution in Four Dimensions has been revised to reflect the spate of new discoveries in biology since the book was first published in 2005, offering corrections, an updated bibliography, and a substantial new chapter. Eva Jablonka and Marion Lamb's pioneering argument proposes that there is more to heredity than genes. They describe four “dimensions” in heredity—four inheritance systems that play a role in evolution: genetic, epigenetic (or non-DNA cellular transmission of traits), behavioral, and symbolic (transmission through language and other forms of symbolic communication). These systems, they argue, can all provide variations on which natural selection can act. Jablonka and Lamb present a richer, more complex view of evolution than that offered by the gene-based Modern Synthesis, arguing that induced and acquired changes also play a role. Their lucid and accessible text is accompanied by artist-physician Anna Zeligowski's lively drawings, which humorously and effectively illustrate the authors' points. Each chapter ends with a dialogue in which the authors refine their arguments against the vigorous skepticism of the fictional “I.M.” (for Ipcha Mistabra—Aramaic for “the opposite conjecture”). The extensive new chapter, presented engagingly as a dialogue with I.M., updates the information on each of the four dimensions—with special attention to the epigenetic, where there has been an explosion of new research. Praise for the first edition “With courage and verve, and in a style accessible to general readers, Jablonka and Lamb lay out some of the exciting new pathways of Darwinian evolution that have been uncovered by contemporary research.” —Evelyn Fox Keller, MIT, author of Making Sense of Life: Explaining Biological Development with Models, Metaphors, and Machines “In their beautifully written and impressively argued new book, Jablonka and Lamb show that the evidence from more than fifty years of molecular, behavioral and linguistic studies forces us to reevaluate our inherited understanding of evolution.” —Oren Harman, The New Republic “It is not only an enjoyable read, replete with ideas and facts of interest but it does the most valuable thing a book can do—it makes you think and reexamine your premises and long-held conclusions.” —Adam Wilkins, BioEssays

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Idea This book unveils an amazing theory. Our lives have five dimensions that are essential for living a healthy, successful, and tranquil existence. These are our financial, social, internal, physical, and spiritual affairs. This book offers Insight into helping us recognize the five life dimensions. It will teach us how to bring these dimensions into balance. Ultimately, it will show how we can reach our goals in every dimension. This Book will help to ... * Recognizing life's five essential dimensions. * Offer tools to keep dimensions in homeostasis * Revise lives by comparison to other philosophies Book Story This book offers advice for human betterment, and while humans today become transfixed with money and pleasure, it summarizes wisdom from previous cultures. Book Idea We cannot reach our potential as individuals unless all five of these life dimensions are balanced. If we neglect any one of them, the ensuing disharmony destroys our tranquility and can wreck our lives. The 5 Essential Dimensions is an attempt to prevent this happening. It is a comforting counterweight to the lure of money, a steadying influence on the bodies that carry us, a stable platform for the social ladders that we rise up on, and a net that protects us from falling. It is a compass for our thoughts, and a safeguard for the soul that will remain after our bodies have perished. When the prescription in The 5 Essential Dimensions is followed it will bring us tranquility and satisfaction, making us better prepared to enjoy life's happy moments and to cope with its sad ones. Today, we are witnessing enormous advances in the fields of science and commerce. Unfortunately some of us are mere bystanders, standing apart from this great achievement, like people not yet touched by the civilization that has gripped the rest of our world. These unfortunates watch science and its accomplishments without deriving any benefit from it. Picture such a man. He lives in a cave, or in the middle of a forest. Perhaps he is a subsistence farmer, standing outside the walls of his village near a remote airstrip, watching a plane landing that seems to be heading straight for his village. After it has passed and dazzled him he picks up his spear and returns to his farm, neither wondering how it flies, nor where it comes from, or where it goes. There is no shame in refusing to keep up with technology, or in failing to acquire the latest devices. It is a personal choice. The shame is in failing to be human.

Download or read book The Measure of a Man written by Martin Luther King, Jr. and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the first National Conference on Christian Education of the United Church of Christ, held at Purdue University in the summer of 1958, Martin Luther King presented two notable devotional addresses. Moved by the clear and persuasive quality of his words, many of the 3000 delegates to the conference urged that the meditations be made available in book form. They wanted the book for their own libraries and they were eager to share Dr. King’s vital messages with fellow Christians of other denominations. In the resolute struggle of American Negroes to achieve complete acceptance as citizens and neighbors the author is recognized as a leader of extraordinary resourcefulness, valor, and skill. His concern for justice and brotherhood and the non-violent methods that he advocates and uses, are based on a serious commitment to the Christian faith. As his meditations in this book suggest, Dr. King regards meditation and action as indivisible functions of the religious life. When we think seriously in the presence of the Most High, when in sincerity we “go up to the mountain of the Lord,” the sure event is that “he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths” (Isaiah 2:3).
