Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) is one of the most celebrated figures of late-modern science, famous for his work in physical geography, botanical geography, and climatology, and his role as one of the first great popularizers of the sciences. His momentous accomplishments have intrigued German biographers from the Prussian era to the fall of the Berlin wall, all of whom configured and reconfigured Humboldt’s life according to the sensibilities of the day. This volume, the first metabiography of the great scientist, traces Humboldt’s biographical identities through Germany’s collective past to shed light on the historical instability of our scientific heroes. “Rupke’s study . . . will doubtless become a standard reference for the Humboldt industry and for writers of scientific metabiographies to come.”— Isis “Engaging. . . . Rupke’s meticulous analysis is fascinating on many scores.”— Times Higher Education Supplement (UK) “A study borne of considerable scholarship and one with important methodological implications for historians of geography.”—Charles W. J. Withers, Progress in Human Geography...繼續閱讀美金： 22.50元 本類書籍銷售 Top 5 |

For many of us, the great scientific discoveries of the modern age--the Big Bang, evolution, quantum physics, relativity--point to an existence that is bleak, devoid of meaning, pointless. But in The Sacred Depths of Nature, eminent biologist Ursula Goodenough shows us that the scientific world view need not be a source of despair. Indeed, it can be a wellspring of solace and hope.
This eloquent volume reconciles the modern scientific understanding of reality with our timeless spiritual yearnings for reverence and continuity. Looking at topics such as evolution, emotions, sexuality, and death, Goodenough writes with rich, uncluttered detail about the workings of nature in general and of living creatures in particular. Her luminous clarity makes it possible for even non-scientists to appreciate that the origins of life and the universe are no less meaningful because of our increasingly scientific understanding of them. At the end of each chapter, Goodenough’s spiritual reflections respond to the complexity of nature with vibrant emotional intensity and a sense of reverent wonder.
A beautifully written celebration of molecular biology with meditations on the spiritual and religious meaning that can be found at the heart of science, this volume makes an important contribution to the ongoing dialog between science and religion. This book will engage anyone who was ever mesmerized--or terrified--by the mysteries of existence.

Nerve Cells and Animal Behaviour秒殺搶購

購買[Nerve Cells and Animal Behaviour]絕對物超所值點圖即可看詳細介紹內容簡介
Extensively revised, the third edition of this introduction to neuroethology - the neuronal basis of animal behaviour-is written for zoology, biology and psychology students. It focuses on the roles of individual nerve cells in behaviour, from simple startle responses to complex behaviours, such as route learning by rats and singing by crickets and by birds. The text begins by examining the relationship between brains and behaviour and shows how study of specialised behaviours reveals neuronal mechanisms that control behaviour. information processing by nerve cells is introduced using specific examples, and how the roles of neurons in behaviour are established is described for a predator-prey interaction,toads versus cockroaches. Much new material is included in chapters: on vision by insects, which describes sensory filtering; on hunting by owls and bats, which describes sensory maps, and on rhythmical movements including swimming and flying.
From reviews of the previous editions:
"The strengths of the book lie in its ability to stimulate those interested in neurobiology and provide, through clear examples. an excellent introduction to the field of neuroethology."-Thomas H.J.Borne, The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour
"In a nutshell, it provides a very comprehensive picture of what we know of neural systems and behaviour, and it does so in a concise, easy-to-read format that students will love...an excellent supplementary book for a neurobiology course."-Bulletin of the Canadian Society of Zoologists
