By Harald A. Wiltsche, Philipp Berghofer. 2020
This book offers fresh perspective on the role of phenomenology in the philosophy of physics which opens new avenues for…
discussion among physicists, "standard" philosophers of physics and philosophers with phenomenological leanings.Much has been written on the interrelations between philosophy and physics in the late 19th and early 20th century, and on the emergence of philosophy of science as an autonomous philosophical sub-discipline. This book is about the under-explored role of phenomenology in the development and the philosophical interpretation of 20th century physics. Part 1 examines questions about the origins and value of phenomenological approaches to physics. Does the work of classical phenomenologists such as Husserl, Merleau-Ponty or Heidegger contain elements of systematic value to both the practice and our philosophical understanding of physics? How did classical phenomenology influence “standard” philosophy of science in the Anglo-American and other traditions? Part 2 probes questions on the role of phenomenology in the philosophies of physics and science:- Can phenomenology help to solve “Wigner’s puzzle”, the problem of the "unreasonable effectiveness" of mathematics in describing, explaining and predicting empirical phenomena? - Does phenomenology allow better understanding of the principle of gauge invariance at the core of the standard model of contemporary particle physics? - Does the phenomenological notion of “Lifeworld” stand in opposition to the “scientific metaphysics” movement, or is there potential for dialogue? Part 3 examines the measurement problem. Is the solution outlined by Fritz London and Edmond Bauer merely a re-statement of von Neumann’s view, or should it be regarded as a distinctively phenomenological take on the measurement problem? Is phenomenology a serious contender in continuing discussions of foundational questions of quantum mechanics? Can other interpretational frameworks such as quantum Bayesianism benefit from implementing phenomenological notions such as constitution or horizonal intentionality?Migration, Social Identities and Regionalism within the Caribbean Community: Voices of Caribbean People
By Oral I. Robinson. 2020
This book offers a theoretical and substantive analysis of intra-Caribbean migration, perception of regionalism, and the construction of identities among…
Caribbean nationals. Through a multi-methods study in the 15 member countries of the Caribbean community, Oral Robinson explores how intra-Caribbean migrants experience living within different member countries, and how these experiences and perceptions influence ideas about citizenship, belonging, and identity. Responding directly to the lack of scholarship on how Caribbean nationals feel about integration and/or free movement within their own countries and other Caribbean countries, this volume attempts to understand Caribbean societies historically, theoretically, and methodologically; proposes bases of social identities in the Caribbean; and examines how intra-Caribbean migrants negotiate their identities and narrate their lived experiences as intra-Caribbean migrants. The book offers policy solutions based upon its findings, reconciling practice, theory, and migration policies in the Caribbean.Neurowetenschappen: Een overzicht
By Ben Van Cranenburgh. 2020
Dit boek geeft een overzicht over het immense gebied van de neurowetenschappen en kan beschouwd worden als een basistekst met…
een sterk praktische signatuur. Opvattingen over zenuwstelsel en hersenen worden vanuit veel invalshoeken belicht, o.a. vanuit de neuroanatomie, de neurofysiologie, de klinische neurologie, de psychologie en evolutiebiologie. De auteur heeft getracht de werking van het zenuwstelsel op diverse niveaus inzichtelijk te maken: het microniveau (neuron, synaps), het macroniveau (hersengebieden, hemisferen), het mentale niveau (emoties, cognities) en het gedragsniveau (aangepast handelen). Een klassiek fundament van de neurofysiologie, het reflexmodel, wordt in dit boek gerelativeerd en genuanceerd: menselijk gedrag is niet alleen maar reactief, maar kan ook spontaan geïnitieerd zijn. De hersenen verwerken en verwekken informatie. Simplistische ideeën over de hersenen worden ontzenuwd, bijvoorbeeld de lokalisatie van functies in specifieke centra, het misverstand dat functies als creativiteit en muziek in de rechter hemisfeer gelokaliseerd zijn, het idee dat het volwassen brein niet of minder plastisch zou zijn. Alternatieven die meer in overeenstemming zijn met de huidige opvattingen, worden gepresenteerd. Neurowetenschappen, Een overzicht maakt deel uit van een zesdelige serie ‘Toegepaste neurowetenschappen’. In het boek worden voortdurend verbindingen gelegd met diverse toepassingsgebieden. Motoriek wordt losgemaakt van spieren: de hersenen sturen een ‘symphony of movements’. Het belang van zintuiglijke functies bij (het leren van) motorische vaardigheden (sport, muziek, revalidatie) wordt benadrukt, en de plasticiteit van het zenuwstelsel wordt gepresenteerd als biologische basis voor flexibiliteit, adaptatie, ontwikkeling, leren en herstelprocessen. Nieuwe inzichten betreffende de werking van de hersenschors, de lokalisatie van functies in zogenoemde neurale ensembles (connectomen) en hemisfeerspecialisatie kunnen inspireren tot toepassingen op allerlei gebieden. Geregeld komt het ‘mind-body’-probleem aan de orde: de onscheidbaarheid van soma en psyche die in het zenuwstelsel zijn biologische basis heeft, wordt met talrijke voorbeelden toegelicht. Het boek is ook digital beschikbaar met bij elk hoofdstuk vragen en antwoorden en samenvattingen. Met praktische voorbeelden op het gebied van dagelijks leven, kliniek, therapie, sport, muziek en onderwijs heeft de auteur getracht om de grote kloof tussen neurowetenschappen en praktijk te overbruggen en plaatst daarmee de neurowetenschappen midden in het leven. Kortom, een belangwekkend boek voor medici, paramedici en psychologen, en zeer bruikbaar voor diverse opleidingen.Pigments from Microalgae Handbook

the scientific fundamentals of this technology and its practical applications. It addresses biology, chemistry, biochemistry, analysis and engineering aspects, as well as applications of natural pigments in photosynthetic organisms. The book also describes the analytical procedures associated with the characterization of pigments and the engineering aspects of microalgal pigment production. It considers the three major classes of pigments(chlorophylls, carotenoids and phycobiliproteins) produced and surveys the main commercial applications of these chemicals.The book offers a valuable source of information for industrial researchers and practitioners in industrial biotechnology, as it covers various engineering aspects of microalgal pigment production, such as bioreactors and bioprocesses, industrial extraction processes, and the bioeconomy of production including life-cycle assessment. The book will also be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students of biochemistry, food chemistry, and industrial microbiology.The Great Demographic Reversal: Ageing Societies, Waning Inequality, and an Inflation Revival
By Charles Goodhart, Manoj Pradhan. 2020
This original and panoramic book proposes that the underlying forces of demography and globalisation will shortly reverse three multi-decade global…
trends – it will raise inflation and interest rates, but lead to a pullback in inequality. “Whatever the future holds”, the authors argue, “it will be nothing like the past”. Deflationary headwinds over the last three decades have been primarily due to an enormous surge in the world’s available labour supply, owing to very favourable demographic trends and the entry of China and Eastern Europe into the world’s trading system. This book demonstrates how these demographic trends are on the point of reversing sharply, coinciding with a retreat from globalisation. The result? Ageing can be expected to raise inflation and interest rates, bringing a slew of problems for an over-indebted world economy, but is also anticipated to increase the share of labour, so that inequality falls. Covering many social and political factors, as well as those that are more purely macroeconomic, the authors address topics including ageing, dementia, inequality, populism, retirement and debt finance, among others. This book will be of interest and understandable to anyone with an interest on where the world’s economy may be going.Why We Love: The Nature And Chemistry Of Romantic Love
By Helen Fisher. 2004
In Why We Love, renowned anthropologist Helen Fisher offers a new map of the phenomenon of love—from its origins in…
the brain to the thrilling havoc it creates in our bodies and behavior. Working with a team of scientists to scan the brains of people who had just fallen madly in love, Fisher proved what psychologists had until recently only suspected: when you fall in love, specific areas of the brain "light up" with increased blood flow. This sweeping new book uses this data to argue that romantic passion is hardwired into our brains by millions of years of evolution. It is not an emotion; it is a drive as powerful as hunger. Provocative, enlightening, engaging, and persuasive, Why We Love offers radical new answers to age-old questions: what love is, who we love—and how to keep love alive.NCMHCE Secrets Study Guide: NCMHCE Exam Review For The National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Examination
