Elements in the Philosophy of Biology

Baedke J: The Organism

The Organism

Why We Are Predictably Irrational

The Mystery of the Ultimatum Game

Through an examination of the work of great scholars from fields including philosophy, literature, philology, semiology, quantum physics, history, and anthropology, this book argues that building on the contribution of non-economists can open new areas of reflection in economics beyond the usual schools of thought. The purpose of the book is twofold. First, it offers a critique and discussion of the limits of contemporary economic discourse, both mainstream and self-styled alternative theories. The central theme on which the book is built is that the discipline of economics fails to examine the nature of social reality in a systematic way. This prompts the economists to become fully aware of the methodology on which they base their representation, analysis, and argumentation in a way that economists currently are not. Second, the book proposes alternative ways of thinking that can help readers of economics to overcome the current limitations of their discipline. This means going beyond various dominant dualities - orthodox/heterodox, micro/ macro, epistemology/ontology - because it is not a question of doing 'the economy' differently, but of overcoming the economy as a representation of the world that strives to submit everything to its realm. Thus, the book does not simply propose a broader conceptual framework than that portrayed by mainstream economists or those who propose an alternative approach but raises questions that do not usually come from the minds of economists at all. The book will be of particular interest to readers of economic methodology and pluralism, philosophers of science, and other social scientists interested in methodological issues.

Economic Life Beyond Economists

From a leading expert on child development, a radical evolutionary perspective on how childhood experiences shape later life. Children who grow up in troubled circumstances-experiencing deprivation or instability, living in a dangerous neighborhood or an abusive family-are more prone to aggression, recklessness, and sexual promiscuity later in life. To most of us, the lesson is clear: adverse childhood conditions make human development go awry. In The Nature of Nurture, renowned developmental psychologist Jay Belsky challenges this interpretation and offers an exciting alternative based on Darwinian theory. There is no reason to assume, he points out, that the psychology of "well-behaved" people is normal while that of "antisocial" adults is aberrant. Instead, the supposedly dysfunctional behaviors correlated with childhood adversity could well be ingenious adaptations to harsh environments. If you are surrounded by danger and uncertainty, then being quick to lash out at potential threats and having lots of offspring at an early age are good ways to maximize your reproductive chances. From an evolutionary perspective, having just a few children and lavishing care on each works well in a stable world, but not in a perilous one. Belsky exposes the romanticism underlying our idealized notions that "natural" equals "good" and that nature intends to maximize human happiness and well-being. When instead we take seriously the fact that humans, too, have been shaped by evolutionary pressures, we can better understand why, how, and for whom childhood experience shapes later life.

Using an aesthetic culture and techniques termed as jihadi cool, terrorist groups have been able to recruit members from around the world, so how do we begin to respond? This book analyzes the rhetorical and ethical dynamics of a culture of jihadi cool/chic, and why these rhetorical and aesthetic techniques have been such a powerful recruitment force for particular transnational terrorist groups. The author uses an evidence-based approach, with frameworks derived from law, politics, philosophy, rhetoric, feminist theory, and communication studies, to examine various attempts to construct counter-narratives to the jihadi cool master narrative. The book closes with an examination of how to begin to respond critically and effectively to the lure of jihadi cool.

Countering Jihadi Cool

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

Biosurfactants and bioemulsifiers are considered green molecules as they are produced from microbes and are easily degradable as compared to surfactants. They are suitable due to properties such as low toxicity, tolerance to a wide-range pH level and temperature, high surface activity, biodegradability, excellent emulsifying and demulsifying ability. While, caution and care should be exercised in its widespread usage, they are likely to replace chemical surfactants.The book focuses on biosurfactant production from various bacteria, diversity of biosurfactant producing bacteria, and the industrial need of biosurfactants. Fields such as pharmacy, medicine, and cosmetics are covered. It is presented in an easy-to-understand manner, and is well illustrated, and comprises protocols and recent data on the production, formulation and commercialization and other aspects of biosurfactants and bioemulsifiers.

Sozialtheorie

Mittels Prognosen und Szenarien beobachten Gesellschaften die Bedingungen ihrer Reproduktion in einer ungewissen Zukunft.&nbsp;Die Beiträger*innen versammeln&nbsp;interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf&nbsp;Szenarien und Prognosen als zentrale Verfahren kulturell spezifischer Zukunftsbearbeitung. Sie beleuchten, wie Szenarien Handlungsspielräume öffnen und zugleich verengen, wie Prognosen trotz notorischer Fehlbarkeit Erwartungen ordnen und wie algorithmische Systeme neue Formen autoritärer Zukunftsbilder hervorbringen. Im Fokus stehen dabei&nbsp;die epistemischen, ästhetischen und politischen Dimensionen dieser Modelle sowie die damit einhergehenden Praktiken in so unterschiedlichen Zusammenhängen wie Architektur, Literatur, Digitalität, Umwelt- und Gesundheitspolitik.

Interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf gesellschaftliche Szenarien und Prognosen

Zukunft unter Vorbehalt

Warum greifen wir zum Handy, obwohl wir eigentlich Ruhe brauchen? Warum stresst uns eine kurze E-Mail mehr, als sie sollte? Warum fällt Veränderung so schwer, obwohl wir genau wissen, was uns guttun würde?
Dieses Buch zeigt: Viele moderne Probleme sind keine Zeichen von Schwäche, Faulheit oder mangelnder Disziplin. Sie entstehen, weil ein uraltes Gehirn in einer hochmodernen Welt zurechtkommen muss.
Unser Körper wurde für Bewegung gebaut, lebt aber oft im Sitzen. Unser Gehirn entwickelte sich in kleinen Gruppen, vergleicht sich heute aber täglich mit Tausenden Menschen. Unser Alarmsystem war für echte Gefahren gedacht, reagiert nun auf Termine, Nachrichten, Kritik, Geldsorgen und digitale Dauerreize.
Leicht verständlich, alltagsnah und mit einem Augenzwinkern erklärt dieses Buch, wie Erkenntnisse aus Evolutionspsychologie, Stressforschung, Arbeitspsychologie und Gesundheitswissenschaften helfen können, den modernen Alltag besser zu verstehen.
Es geht um Ernährung, Schlaf, Stress, Social Media, Status, Beziehungen, Geld, Führung, Meetings, Homeoffice, Denkfehler und Gewohnheiten. Immer mit der zentralen Frage: Was passiert, wenn unser innerer Steinzeitmensch auf Büro, Smartphone und Großstadtdschungel trifft?
Dieses Buch ist kein Aufruf zurück in die Steinzeit. Es ist eine Einladung, moderner zu leben, ohne die eigene Biologie zu ignorieren.
Für alle, die sich selbst besser verstehen, gelassener handeln und ihren Alltag menschlicher gestalten möchten.

Wie die Evolution unseren Alltag beherrscht

Aus der Savanne ins Büro

“Constantly fascinating and impeccably reported...You won’t look at yourself in the same way again.” —Ed Yong, bestselling author of An Immense World and I Contain Multitudes A captivating exploration of the remarkable ways our DNA mutates over the course of our lives, with radical implications for the future of medicine Our DNA is the indispensable set of instructions that guides our growth and vitality. The common misconception is that this molecular blueprint stays the same throughout our lives. In reality, the genetic makeup of our cells is continuously mutating, from the moment we are conceived until our last breath. The hidden changes that amass in our genomes can have a huge influence on our health. In this groundbreaking book, science writer Roxanne Khamsi describes our bodies as active landscapes of mutation. She reveals how the forces of Darwinian evolution operate within our own tissues. The effects can be devastating, such as when mutant blood cells outcompete their normal counterparts and increase the risk of heart attacks. But mutations can also make our bodies more resilient: Liver cells with genetic changes seem to cope better with excess calories. And immune cells with remixed DNA can make more effective antibodies against the microbes that threaten us. By letting go of the antiquated idea that every cell in a body has the same exact DNA, we can usher in a whole new era of medicine, including better vaccines and treatments that outsmart cancer. Beyond Inheritance will open your eyes to the immense genetic diversity that exists within you and its incredible potential to shape your well-being.

Our Ever-Mutating Cells and a New Understanding of Health

Beyond Inheritance

Realising that the need for conservation of the Outstanding Universal Values (OUVs) of World Heritage Sites still remains much more dominant than a holistic approach towards the wider social, economic and environmental implications, the book "World Heritage and Sustainable Development" aims to examine and propose ways in which sustainable cultural development can become an integral part of successful conservation and management within the context of World Heritage Sites (WHSs). In order to do so, thematic chapters concentrating on issues of building conservation, climate change and human development within the context of World Heritage Sites (WHSs) will be included.
