    The Lives of the Brain. Human Evolution and the Organ of Mind

    Forse Engelstalige hardcover uitgave met stofomslag, geen naam voorin, in zeer goede staat tot nagenoeg als nieuw. Like New.

    Though we have other distinguishing characteristics (walking on two legs, for instance, and relative hairlessness), the brain and the behavior it produces are what truly set us apart from the other apes and primates. And how this three-pound organ composed of water, fat, and protein turned a mammal species into the dominant animal on earth today is the story John S. Allen seeks to tell.

    Adopting what he calls a “bottom-up” approach to the evolution of human behavior, Allen considers the brain as a biological organ; a collection of genes, cells, and tissues that grows, eats, and ages, and is subject to the direct effects of natural selection and the phylogenetic constraints of its ancestry. An exploration of the evolution of this critical organ based on recent work in paleoanthropology, brain anatomy and neuroimaging, molecular genetics, life history theory, and related fields, his book shows us the brain as a product of the contexts in which it evolved: phylogenetic, somatic, genetic, ecological, demographic, and ultimately, cultural-linguistic. Throughout, Allen focuses on the foundations of brain evolution rather than the evolution of behavior or cognition. This perspective demonstrates how, just as some aspects of our behavior emerge in unexpected ways from the development of certain cognitive capacities, a more nuanced understanding of behavioral evolution might develop from a clearer picture of brain evolution.

    Verzameld Werk [1-2-3]

    Prachtige Complete set van 3 linnen gebonden boeken met mooie stofomslagen in bewaarcasette, alles in zeer goede en nette staat. Compleet en voorzien van een volledige Bibliografie en een Verantwoording. Deze set is nog helemaal als nieuw.

    Het is nog altijd even waar: Alberts (1911-1995) is een groot schrijver. Zijn boeken hebben in de loop der tijd niets aan kracht ingeboet, zijn stijl is nog even betoverend door de zeldzame combinatie van soberheid en behoedzame ironie. A. Alberts, auteur van klassieke romans als De eilanden (1952) en De vergaderzaal (1974), blijft de meester van het verzwijgen en suggereren. Het eerste deel van dit Verzameld werk bevat alle romans en verhalen, waaronder de hierboven genoemde maar ook De bomen (1953) en de schitterende laatste roman De vrouw met de parasol (1991). In deel twee zijn opgenomen de historische vertellingen De huzaren van Castricum (1973), De Hollanders komen ons vermoorden (1975) en Een koning die van geen nee wil horen (1976) alsmede artikelen en verhalen uit literaire tijdschriften en gelegenheidspublicaties, én een selectie uit de honderden stukken die Alberts schreef in De Groene Amsterdammer. Deel drie bevat de in boekvorm verschenen memoires en beschouwingen, zoals ondermeer In en uit het paradijs getild (1962), Aan Frankrijk uitgeleend (1963), Inleiding tot de kennis van de ambtenaar (1985) en Een kolonie is ook maar een mens (1989).

    The Theory of Almost Everything

    Engelstalige hardcover met stofomslag, in goede staat. Geen naam voorin, netjes.

    (MOST OF) THE UNIVERSE IS IN YOUR HANDS

    "There is a theory in physics that explains, at the deepest level, nearly all of the phenomena that rule our daily lives.... This theory bears the unassuming name "The Standard Model of Elementary Particles," or the "Standard Model," for short. It deserves to be better known, and it deserves a better name. I call it "The Theory of Almost Everything."

    The Standard Model has a surprisingly low profile for such a fundamental and successful theory.... In physics news items, the Standard Model usually plays the whipping boy. Reports of successful experimental tests of the theory have an air of disappointment, and every hint of the theory' s inadequacy is greeted with glee. It is the Rodney Dangerfield of physical theories, it "don' t get no respect." But it is, perhaps, the pinnacle of human intellectual achievement to date.

    --From the IntroductionPraise for "THE THEORY OF ALMOST EVERYTHING

    "In an era when enormous attention is being paid to the promising but highly speculative superstring/M-theory, a great triumph of science has gone nearly unnoticed, except by physicists. Robert Oerter provides here an accessible introduction to the Standard Model--a towering example of human creativity. He outlines how the Standard Model can serve as the launching pad for humanity to--paraphrasing Einstein--see better the secrets of ' the Ancient One.' "

    Kirchner and the Berlin Street

    Groot formaat hardcover, prachtexemplaar, als nieuw.

    Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's remarkable series of paintings known as the Berlin Street Scenes is a highpoint of the artist's work and a milestone of German Expressionism. Kirchner moved from Dresden to Berlin in 1911, and it was there, immersed in the vitality of a teeming city and under the looming shadow of imminent world war, that he created the Street Scenes in a burst of creative energy and ambition. Berlin was at this time undergoing rapid growth, and as Kirchner absorbed the crowds and energy of city life, his work responded with acute perspective, jagged brushstrokes and searing color. As the most extensive consideration of these paintings in English, this richly illustrated volume examines the creative process undertaken by the artist as he explored his themes through various media and presents a major body of related work including drawings, pen-and-ink studies, pastels, etchings, woodcuts and lithographs. It also investigates the significance of the streetwalker as the dominant motif of this series, and provides insight on its relationship to Kirchner's wider oeuvre.
    Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) was one of German Expressionism's foremost practitioners. His painterly aesthetic was formed within the Brüche group, in Dresden, where he was one among a number of artists rebelling against bourgeois life and the stale conventions of the academy. Kirchner made his Street Scenes series immediately following the dissolution of Brüche. Today he is increasingly recognized as one of the major figures in the early development of Modern art.
