Wie entstand komplexes Leben – bis hin zum Menschen – aus der ersten Zelle? Das war die Frage, die der Begründer der biologischen Evolutionstheorie Charles Darwin in seinerzeit skandalerregender Weise beantwortete. Doch man kann weiterfragen: Was kam davor? Wie entstand die erste Zelle selber? Wie entstand unser Planetensystem? Wem oder was verdankt unser Universum die lebensfreundlichen Parametersetzungen? Und was kam danach? Was änderte sich, als der zivilisierte Mensch die Bühne der Evolution betrat? Nach welchen Prinzipien entwickelt und verändert sich seine Kultur, soziale Organisation, Technik und Kognition? Zu diesen Fragen gibt es mittlerweise einheitliche Antworten im Rahmen eines übergreifenden Theoriegebildes, der verallgemeinerten Evolutionstheorie. Dieses Gebiet wird im vorliegenden Werk erstmals als Gesamtdarstellung interdisziplinär und philosophisch entwickelt und dem Leser in einfacher und anschaulich illustrierter Weise nahegebracht. Die biologische Evolution, den aktuellsten Wissensstand widerspiegelnd, hat darin ebenso ihren Platz wie die kulturelle Evolution und die Konzeption der Meme. Ebenso gehören die präbiologisch-kosmische Protoevolution, die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Kreationismus, die evolutionäre Spieltheorie und die mathematisch-wissenschaftstheoretischen Grundlagen der verallgemeinerten Evolutionstheorie dazu. Das Buch schließt mit einer Analyse der Evolution von sozialer Koope-ration, Kognition und Weltanschauung im Spannungsfeld von Rationalität und Irrationalität.

Do genes explain life? Can advances in evolutionary and molecular biology account for what we look like, how we behave, and why we die? In this powerful intervention into current biological thinking, Brian Goodwin argues that such genetic reductionism has important limits. Drawing on the sciences of complexity, the author shows how an understanding of the self-organizing patterns of networks is necessary for making sense of nature. Genes are important, but only as part of a process constrained by environment, physical laws, and the universal tendencies of complex adaptive systems. In a new preface for this edition, Goodwin reflects on the advances in both genetics and the sciences of complexity since the book's original publication.

Moving away from his earlier belief in a short, catastrophic history of the Earth, this volume shows how Buckland envisages instead progressive change as the Earth gradually cooled as it was prepared for human occupation. Extinct creatures did not die out because they were poorly designed; God loved the dinosaurs and had adapted them to their various circumstances.

This self-contained astrophysics textbook for advanced undergraduates explores how stars form, what happens to them as they age, and what becomes of them when they die. Students can investigate the physical processes sustaining the energy output of stars during each stage of their evolution and which drive the progression from one stage to the next, and examine the relationship between different stages of stellar evolution and the production of the chemical elements. The textbook contains a wealth of worked examples and exercises with full solutions. Summaries, key facts and equations are clearly identified, and there are full colour illustrations throughout. Drawing on decades of experience in supported learning and independent study, this textbook is an ideal bridging text for astrophysics and physics majors looking to move on from the introductory texts. Accompanying resources to this textbook are available at: http://www.cambridge.org/features/astrophysics.

The only book available that examines one of the great mysteries of evolution -- the origins of flight in the animal kingdom and the controversial link between dinosaurs and birds. Did the great reptiles die out 65 million years ago, or were they well on their way to evolving into the creatures we know as birds? World-renowned paleontologist Philip J. Currie examines the evidence and arrives at some startling conclusions. Features some of the most bizarre species of birds to have ever evolved, including giant flyers with 24-foot wingspans and ground-dwellers weighing over 400 pounds. The author, recognized as the world's leading expert on predatory dinosaurs, has been featured numerous times in television series such as PBS's Nova and in Walter Cronkite's Dinosaurs.

Why do some ideas spread, while others die off? Does human culture have its very own “survival of the fittest”? And if so, does that explain why our species is so different from the rest of life on Earth? Throughout history, we humans have prided ourselves on our capacity to have ideas, but perhaps this pride is misplaced. Perhaps ideas have us. After all, ideas do appear to have a life of their own. And it is they, not us, that benefit most when they are spread. Many biologists have already come to the opinion that our genes are selfish entities, tricking us into helping them to reproduce. Is it the same with our ideas?      Jonnie Hughes, a science writer and documentary filmmaker, investigates the evolution of ideas in order to find out. Adopting the role of a cultural Charles Darwin, Hughes heads off, with his brother in tow, across the Midwest to observe firsthand the natural history of ideas—the patterns of their variation, inheritance, and selection in the cultural landscape. In place of Darwin’s oceanic islands, Hughes visits the “mind islands” of Native American tribes. Instead of finches, Hughes searches for signs of natural selection among the tepees.      With a knack for finding the humor in the quirks of the American cultural landscape, Hughes takes us on a tour from the Mall of America in Minneapolis to what he calls the “maul” of America—Custer’s last stand—stopping at road-sides and discoursing on sandwiches, the shape of cowboy hats, the evolution of barn roofs, the wording of jokes, the wearing of moustaches, and, of course, the telling features from tepees of different tribes. Original, witty, and engaging, On the Origin of Tepees offers a fresh way of understanding both our ideas and ourselves.

Why is `blood thicker than water'? Are we innately violent or pacific? Why are plants and animals sexual? Why do we grow old and die? Such questions have motivated the life-work of W.D. Hamilton, widely acknowledged as the most important theoretical biologist of the 20th century. His papers continue to exert an enormous influence and they are now being republished for the first time. This first volume contains all of Hamilton's publications prior to 1981, a set especially relevant to social behavior, kinship theory, sociobiology, and the notion of `selfish genes'. Each paper is introduced by an autobiographical essay written especially for this collection. Accessible to non-specialists, this fascinating volume features several of the most read and famous papers of modern biology.

Neuware - In diesem Buch geht es um Evolution. Sie erfahren, wie die heutige Wissenschaft dazu beiträgt, dass wir uns ein Bild von der Zukunft der Erde machen können. Sie lernen erstaunliche Kreaturen kennen, die eines Tages womöglich existieren, und verfolgen ihren Überlebenskampf gegen furchterregende Raubtiere in unwirtlicher Umgebung. Wenn wir uns die Zukunft vorstellen wollen, müssen wir zunächst in die Vergangenheit blicken. Indem wir die Geschichte des Lebens auf der Erde nachverfolgen, können wir die wiederkehrenden Muster der Evolution ausmachen, die uns helfen, einen Blick in die Zukunft zu werfen. Zwischen wissenschaftlichen Fakten und Fiktion, dem zu erwartenden und dem Unerklärlichen, gibt es Dinge, die wir uns kaum vorstellen können. Dieser farbenprächtige Bildband erscheint vor dem Hintergrund einer bevorstehenden Fernsehproduktion zu 'the FUTURE is WILD - UNSERE ERDE VON MORGEN'.

Although the Weimar Republic has received elaborate attention in the areas of history, politics, and culture in general, studies of the art movement that best defines the period have been rare. Post-Expressionism in Germany is the first study to reconstruct historically the evolution of Die neue Sachlichkeit, the slogan coined as a designation for the Post-Expressionist figural art that developed throughout Germany following the failed revolution of 1919.Rather than start with the moment this Post-Expressionist movement was christened with a slogan (1923), Crockett investigates the sources and precepts of Post-Expressionism beginning with the anti-Expressionist stance of Dada in 1918 and the loss of faith in Expressionism on the part of some of its chief supporters during 1919–20. With the author's historical reconstruction of both the development of figural Post-Expressionism and contemporary criticism, the historical inaccuracy regarding the popular understanding of Die neue Sachlichkeit becomes evident.While the term Neue Sachlichkeit has been associated with stabilization and sobriety since the mid-1920s, Crockett argues that Post-Expressionism developed not during the relative economic and political stabilization of the middle years of the Weimar Republic, but during the political, social, and economic chaos of the first years of the republic. The first part of the book looks at the state of art and the economy in Germany from 1919 to 1925. The second section focuses on the unique Post-Expressionist development in cities throughout Germany. The final section deals with art criticism from 1923 to 1925.
