Book Description

Farming, as it is practiced in market industrialized countries, is predominantly a family business. The central message of this book is that the nature of the farm business cannot be properly understood without reference to the family that operates it. The authors focus not so much on the farm family or the farm business separately, but on the interaction between the two. While many of their illustrations relate to the United Kingdom, examples are also drawn from North America, European Community countries, Scandinavia, Australia and New Zealand. The general approach is a multidisciplinary one, and the book is aimed at senior students, researchers and policy makers concerned with agricultural economics, policy and management as well as rural sociology, geography and other rural studies.

Darwin said it first, but Huxley said it best. Known as "Darwin's bulldog" for his tenacious and successful defense of evolution by natural selection, biologist T.H. Huxley wrote Man's Place in Nature to bolster his case with hard facts. This new edition, edited and introduced by eminent paleontologist and evolutionary theorist Stephen Jay Gould, reminds the readers of the power of good writing to influence opinion. Huxley's style is charmingly persuasive, even when he's describing the intimate details of the lemur's skull. The illustrations range from crude to beautifully detailed and generally take a back seat to the prose. Those involved in debates with creationists--150 years after Darwin--will be discouraged to learn that Huxley faced many of the same arguments in his day. Still, armed with Man's Place in Nature, another generation can fight and win. --Rob Lightner

Book Description

Thomas H. Huxley was one of the first supporters of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, and he did more than any other writer to advance its acceptance among scientists and nonscientists alike. His most famous book, Man’s Place in Nature, published only five years after Darwin’s The Origin of Species, offers a compelling review of primate and human paleontology, and is the first attempt to apply Darwin’s theory to human beings. As compelling a piece of analysis now as it was 140 years ago, Man’s Place in Nature is a must for every science lover’s library.

Our place indeed, no matter what our ego says.......2004-07-13

Huxley surely was the best evolution defender of his time, even superior to Darwin and Wallace at this feat. This book is a classic to man's evolution literature and should be read by anyone interested in the early foundations of evolution. This were the kind of lectures and essays that destroy competing arguments from other theories. Something that strikes me is how updated this still is (well considering the time that has passed), and how strong are Huxley's arguments and so well founded. Huxley uses various techniques to make his point, he uses a lot of the new branch of science "comparative anatomy", and does so like an expert. Simply a delightful reading, a time travel to the origins of the evolution theory.

Book Description

Structure of Matter, Structure of Mind provides a complete, clear, unified theory of the foundations of mathematics, language, and the human mind. Mind in the human sense is no longer distinguished by a few chance details of zoological classification, but, like physics, is based directly in first principles. Because sentences share all functional mechanisms with equations - a main verb, linguistic deep-structure, recursion, discreteness, linear delivery, truth and falsity -- language shares a common source with arithmetic and algebra.

Because truth or falsity of equations depends on their symmetry about the "equals", equations are self-regulating, not arbitrary, and reflect the founding properties of matter. Sentences of ordinary language are formed from equations by the turning of a single key -- that of symmetry - unlocking the human mind into the fascinating non-Euclidean world of 21st century physics and beyond.

Wow!.......2006-04-09

This is not only a complete, clear, unified theory of the foundations of mathmatics, language, and the human mind, but a thrilling, facinating, and entertaining read. I cannot remember the last time I took this much pleasure in reading a textbook. I am not a scientist, just a person interested in what it is to be human. This incredible example of original and disciplined thinking leads the reader step by step to a view of the human mind as unique in the known universe, not simply a step on an evolutionary path, but unprecidented in its creative abilities. This is a gift that will keep giving for anyone interested in language, mathmatics or the human mind.

A Must-Read about the Human Mind!.......2006-02-11

Hold on to your hats: this may be one of the deepest, freshest, and most important books on thought and the human mind ever written.

With a completely unjaundiced view, Dr. Abler takes you by the hand on a journey to explore the origins of mathematics and language in the human mind. Using 1st principles and the Socratic method, Dr. Abler irresistibly comes to the conclusion that both can NOT be the results of evolution. This pretty much negates the entire fields of evolutionary psychology and evolutionary linguistics.

The book does not, by the way, criticize biological evolution or natural selection. Dr. Abler is also apparently a well-known paleontologist, and so is a rigorous hard-scientist well-versed and comfortable with evolutionary theory. He "only" and devastatingly takes issue with the assumption that evolution caused the existence of language and math in the human mind.

If you are at all interested in how we think, you must read this book.

Book Description

1893. Calderwood, Scottish philosopher and divine, writes that in this volume he has undertaken discussion of the problem concerning Man's Place in Nature. The discussion proceeds from the standpoint of Evolution of Organic Life, as maintained by Mr. Darwin and by Mr. Alfred Russel Wallace. The main objects are to trace the evidence of man's relation to the continuity of life on the earth, and to describe the distinctive characteristics of human life itself. Contents: Evidence for Evolution; Life in Its Lower and Higher Forms; The Characteristics of Human Life; The Relations of Environment to Life; Heredity and Evolution; Sensory and Rational Discrimination; Animal and Rational Intelligence; and Rational Life.

Book Description

As unique sources of coherent high-power, microwave, and millimeter-wave radiation, gyrotrons are an essential part of the hunt for controlled fusion. Presently, gyrotrons are actively used for electron cyclotron resonance plasma heating and current drive in various controlled fusion reactors. These sources have been under development in many countries for more than forty years. In spite of their widespread use, however, there is as yet no single book to introduce non-specialists to this vital field.

Now Gregory S. Nusinovich, an early pioneer of the gyrotron and widely regarded today as the world's leading authority on the subject, explains the fundamental physical principles upon which gyrotrons and related devices operate. Nusinovich first sets forth some "rules of thumb" that allow readers to understand gyrotron operation in simple terms. He then explores the fundamentals of the general theory of gyrotrons and offers an overview of the various types of gyro-devices, including gyromonotrons, gyroklystrons, gyro-traveling-wave tubes, and gyrotwystrons. He explains not only the theory, linear and nonlinear, but also the practical challenges that users of such devices face.

This book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students as well as to those who develop gyrotrons or who use them in various applications. It should also appeal to plasma physicists interested in charged-particle dynamics, as well as to applied physicists needing to know more about micro- and millimeter-wave technologies.

Book Description

The Ara Pacis of Augustus, the Augustan Alter of Peace, was restored in 1938 to celebrate the bi-millennial birthday of Augustus and is now being refurbished by the American architect, Richard Meier. It is the most-revered ancient Roman monument. However, this book shows that it is not the altar that everyone thinks it is, but rather a commemorative altar erected under the reign of Tiberius.
