This appears to have been prepared for the opening of Explorers Hall. Melville Bell Grosvenor wrote in the introductory narrative "My pulse quickened to think that soon we would open our doors to an exciting new museum of science and exploration. Each exhibit would demonstrate, in color, sound, and motion, a milestone in man's conquest of earth, sea, and sky. To each visitor Explorers Hall would be a personal adventure of discovery, and this souvenir guidebook, a passport to that adventure." The National Geographic Society, headquartered in Washington, D.C., United States, is one of the largest nonprofit scientific and educational institutions in the world. Its interests include geography, archaeology and natural science, the promotion of environmental and historical conservation, and the study of world culture and history. The National Geographic Society's logo is a yellow portrait frame - rectangular in shape - which appears on the margins surrounding the front covers of its magazines and as its television channel logo. It also operates a website that features extra content and worldwide events. A guide book is "a book of information about a place designed for the use of visitors or tourists". It will usually include information about sights, accommodation, restaurants, transportation, and activities. Maps of varying detail and historical and cultural information are often included. Different kinds of guide books exist, focusing on different aspects. A forerunner of the guidebook was the periplus, an itinerary from landmark to landmark of the ports along a coast. A periplus such as the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea was a manuscript document that listed, in order, the ports and coastal landmarks, with approximate intervening distances, that the captain of a vessel could expect to find along a shore. This work was possibly written in the middle of the 1st century CE. It served the same purpose as the later Roman itinerarium of road stops.The periegesis, or "progress around" was an established literary genre during the Hellenistic age. A lost work by Agaclytus describing Olympia ( ) is referred to by the Suda and Photius. Dionysius Periegetes (literally, Dionysius the Traveller) was the author of a description of the habitable world in Greek hexameter verse written in a terse and elegant style, intended for the klismos traveller rather than the actual tourist on the ground; he is believed to have worked in Alexandria and to have flourished around the time of Hadrian. An early "remarkably well-informed and interesting guidebook" was the Hellados Periegesis (Descriptions of Greece) of Pausanias of the 2nd century A.D. This most famous work is a guide to the interesting places, works of architecture, sculpture, and curious customs of Ancient Greece, and is still useful to Classicists today. With the advent of Christianity, the guide for the European religious pilgrim became a useful guidebook. An early account is that of the pilgrim Egeria, who visited the Holy Land in the 4th century CE and left a detailed itinerary. In the medieval Arab world, guide books for travelers in search of ancient Near Eastern artifacts, monuments and treasures were written by Arabic treasure hunters and alchemists. This was particularly the case in Arab Egypt, where ancient Egyptian antiquities were highly valued.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Some may consider that the language and concepts of philosophy will eventually be superseded by those of neuroscience. This book questions such a naïve assumption and through a variety of perspectives and traditions, the authors show the possible contributions of philosophy to non-reductive forms of neuroscientific research. Drawing fromthe full range and depth of philosophical thought, fromhylomorphism to ethics, by way of dynamical systems, enactivism and value theory, amongst other topics, this edited workpromotes a rich form of interdisciplinary exchange.Chapters explore the analytic, phenomenological and pragmatic traditions of philosophy, and most share a common basis in the Aristotelian tradition. Contributions address one or more aspects of subjectivity in relation to science, such as the meaning and scope of naturalism and the place of consciousness in nature, or the relation between intentionality, teleology, and causality. Readers may further explore the nature of life and its relation to mind and then the role of value in mind and nature.This book shows how philosophy might contribute to real explanatory progress in science while remaining faithful to the full complexity of the phenomena of life and mind. It will be of interest to both philosophers and neuroscientists, as well as those engaged in interdisciplinary cooperation between philosophy and science.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book has two main tasks: (1) to call attention to the special challenges presented by our experience of affect-all varieties of pleasure and pain-and (2) to show how these challenges can be overcome by an 'enrichment approach' that understands affect as the enrichment or deterioration of conscious activity as a whole. This 'enrichment approach' draws from Alfred North Whitehead as well as the pragmatists John Dewey and William James, all of whom thought of affect as a fundamental aspect of experience rather than a special class of feelings. It also draws from recent scientific research that suggests that the dynamic repertoire of consciousness can change, effectively expanding and contracting our capacity to feel. Weaving these perspectives together, the book develops a theory that accounts for the peculiar phenomenology of affect and sheds new light on a diverse range of experiences, from everyday pleasures and pains to the special satisfactions of the arts and religious festivity. At the same time, it presents a fresh and distinctively affect-centered perspective on the nature of consciousness.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Andrews, J.; Chandler, J. G.; Cheney, J.; Johnston, D. C. (illustrator). 1st Edition. (Poe, Edgar Allan) THE PIONEER. A LITERARY AND CRITICAL MAGAZINE. VOL. I -- NO. I, VOL. I -- NO. II AND VOL. I -- NO. III; THREE ISSUES BEING THE MAGAZINE'S COMPLETE RUN. Boston: Leland and Whiting, 1843. FIRST EDITION. Royal 8vo -- 10-1/4" x 7". Original publisher's salmon colored paper wrappers printed in black with a loss along lower edge of front wrapper of Vol. I, No. I, and wear to the wrappers of all three issues for what is still a beautiful, complete set of the magazine. 1-48, [49]-96, [97]-144 pp. This influential, but short lived literary journal, the entire run being published between January and March of 1843, after which the venture ceased for financial reasons, would none the less contain the first printings of works by literary giants, including Elizabeth Barrett [Browning], Nathaniel Hawthorn, Edgar Allan Poe, John Greenleaf Whittier, et al.; Vol. I, No. I contained the first printing of "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe, which is widely considered a classic of the Gothic fiction genre, and one of Poe's most famous short stories; Vol. I, No. II and Vol. I, No. III also both contained first printings of work by Poe, including his poem "Lenore;" all issues illustrated with etchings and/or woodcuts printed in black; internally, all three issues are very clean and bright; housed in a collector's brown cloth chemise and matching slipcase. The condition of the magazines is VERY GOOD. RARE; and quite wonderful to hold and read the important works contained within, just as they were held and read back in 1843 when these works were originally released upon the world!
