Overview: The doctrine of computer life is not congenial to many people. Often they have not thought in any depth about the idea, and it necessarily disturbs their psychological and intellectual frame of reference: it forces a reappraisal of what it is to be alive, what it is to be human, and whether there are profound, yet un­ expected, implications in the development of modern com­ puters. There is abundant evidence to suggest that we are wit­ nessing the emergence of a vast new family of life-forms on earth, organisms that are not based on the familiar metabolic chemistries yet whose manife

Overview: Engages the deep philosophical questions concerning scientific realism and it develops a comprehensive perspective on these questions.Acknowledges and exploits the intimate relationship between scienc.This book develops a conception of science as a multi-dimensional practice, which includes experimental action and production, conceptual-theoretical interpretation, and formal-mathematical work. On this basis, it addresses the topical issue of scientific realism and expounds a detailed, referentially realist account of the natural sciences. This account is shown to be compatible with t

Overview: Much of the world‘s forested land is dominated by mixed-speciesstands. Understanding the complex structure and dynamics of thesemixtures is a necessary step in the process of formulating appropriatesilvicultural systems for their management. David M. Smith, ProfessorEmeritus of Silviculture at Yale University, has devoted much of hiscareer to the study of the structure, development, and silviculturaltreatment of these kinds of stands. This volume is presented byProfessor Smith‘s collegues to honor the contributions he has made tothe field. It contains both reviews of past work and re

Overview: Arthur Vogt has devoted a great deal of his scientific efforts to both person and work of Irving Fisher. This book, written with Jànos Barta, gives an excellent impression of Fisher‘s great contributions to the theory of the price index on the one hand. On the other hand, it continues Fisher‘s work on this subject along the lines which several authors drew with respect to price index theory since Fisher‘s death fifty years ago.."This is a highly instructive book on both the history and theory of measurement in economics. It is rather a rich source of interesting properties of more or

Overview: This volume fills an important gap in the analysis of early modern history and culture by reintroducing scholars to the significance of the horse. A more complete understanding of the role of horses and horsemanship is absolutely crucial to our understanding of the early modern world. Each essay in the collection provides a snapshot of how horse culture and the broader culture - that tapestry of images, objects, structures, sounds, gestures, texts, and ideas - articulate. Without knowledge of how the horse figured in all these aspects, no version of political, material, or intellectu

Overview: .Advances in cell, developmental and molecular biology, and the discovery of regeneration-competent cells in many non-regenerating mammalian tissues, have given impetus to systematic investigations that will enable us to regenerate these tissues by cell transplantation or the pharmaceutical induction of regeneration from the body’s own tissues. A significant avenue of research is the identification of the soluble and insoluble signals and their transduction pathways that govern the proliferation and differentiation of regeneration-competent cells, and the signals that inhibit their a

Overview: Includes multidisciplinary approaches to the analysis of gender, identity and nation in postcolonial Southeast Asian literature.Adds a Southeast Asian perspective to the study of gender, identity and This collection of essays examines how Southeast Asian women writers engage with the grand narratives of nationalism and the modern nation-state by exploring the representations of gender, identity and nation in the postcolonial literatures of Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Overview: The growing concern about where energy rich chemicals for the future will come from has stimulated a resurgence of interest in the potentialities of microbial fermentations to assist in meeting anti­ cipated demands for fuels and chemicals. While much attention has been given recently to the early deployment of alcohol production plants and similar currently available technologies, the potential future developments have received much less attention. One of the intentions of the present symposium was to look ahead and try to perceive some of the prospects for future fermentation techn

Overview: The events of recent years have demonstrated beyond doubt not only that ethnic pluralism presents major problems for the management of political systems, but that it is also a major cause of their failure and disintegration. This timely and topical book discusses the general issue of ethnic pluralism and considers a range of types of multi-ethnic society within a common analytical framework. It then examines the responses of governments to the problems of ethnic diversity and assesses the effects of ethnic conflict on the development and viability of states.978-1-349-27049-1978-1-349
