Paperback. Zustand: New. Human society is no stranger to catastrophe, but the challenges the world faces today - a ballooning population, intense global connectivity and the unquenchable thirst of human consumption - have synergised to make disruptions more frequent, intense and far reaching.Despite the complexity of these problems, the response should not be to give up and surrender to these forces, the crash can be avoided. Humanity does possess the scientific, technological and social knowledge to not just survive, but also to emerge from the tumult by being more resilient and sustainable societies. The most urgent question, therefore, is how can we act on this knowledge.This book brings together 12 esteemed authors from diverse fields ranging from geology to governance, who have come together to collectively issue a unifying clarion call to action.Published in collaboration with .…

Hardback. Zustand: New. The 2021 IPCC report made one thing crystal clear - global climate change is here to stay. Time is up. We need to act or climate change will lead to inconceivable suffering by billions of people. Buying Time for Climate Action is the combined narrative of world class experts, all committed to help humanity survive its largely self-induced destructive course. Changing that course requires urgent action. Determining which actions will lead to helpful change requires insights into the stumbling blocks that always emerge when actions aimed at change are planned, resulting in lost time. The experts who contributed to this volume, through their expertise, networks, wisdom and creativity, have largely concluded that the way to cope with the stumbling blocks is to avoid them by focusing on grassroots initiatives. Their narratives and discussions, presented in this book, highlight such thinking.The book is essential reading for anyone committed to help avoid an existential disaster for humanity, and ready to move plans into effective action. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Hardcover, x + 213 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book delves into the intricate relationship between cultural patterns and neurocognitive circuits, focusing on the contrasts and connections between Eastern and Western perspectives. The authors provide a multidisciplinary approach to understanding how cultural contexts influence cognitive processes and brain function. Through a series of essays and research findings, this volume offers insights into the complex interplay between culture and neurobiology. A valuable resource for scholars and students in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and philosophy, providing a deep understanding of how cultural influences shape neurocognitive functions and contribute to the diversity of human thought and behavior. -- Contents: Preface; Introduction (Sydney Brenner); -- Neuronal Circuits: -- Action Observation as a Visual Process: Different Classes of Actions Engage Distinct Regions of Human PPC (Guy A. Orban); The Power of Single Cases: Examples from the Early Visual Pathway and from Visual Art (Ernst Pöppel & Yan Bao); -- Emergence of Higher Cognitive Functions: -- Imitation: Mechanisms and Importance for Human Culture (Giacomo Rizzolatti); Brain Mechanisms of Tool-Use that Advance Our Knowledge Beyond the Border: Neural Correlates of "Proto-Language" in the Monkey Brain (Atsushi Iriki & Kevin W. McCairn); Conscious Processing: Unity in Time Rather Than in Space (Wolf Singer); -- Highest Cognitive Functions: -- Overcoming "Monocausalitis" by Complementarity as a Generative Principle and a Thought Pattern Exemplified with Aesthetic Appreciations and the Arts (Yan Bao & Ernst Pöppel); Modelling Levels of Consciousness for Language Development in Infants: A Feature-based Approach (Helena Hong Gao); Individual Differences in Math Achievement: Finland and Singapore (Kerry Lee & Pirjo Aunio); Moral Progress Requires a Coupling Between Empathy and Reason: A Social Neuroscience Perspective (Jean Decety); Appendix: The Video and Presentation Links -- The contents of this book continues the theme as in the previous volume on cultural patterns and cognitive patterns in the East and West, with special regard to those patterns which are determined by our natural-genetic endowments in contrast to those patterns which are influenced by our cultural ("East-West") influences, and within this context a unique flavour is given to the "good life" aspects of adapting to this global community. The chapters written by leading neuroscientists, give an overarching picture from the elementary organisational principles of the human brain through the basic perceptual and motor functions of the brain to the highest levels of cognition, including aesthetical or moral judgments, with an eye on what can be called "good life" in both Eastern and Western cultures. A unique compilation of state-of-the-art overviews of how the human brain is organised and functions in order to achieve high level of social, moral or aesthetic thoughts across cultures.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. In March 2013, Para Limes organized the conference A Crude look at the Whole. It turned out to be an extraordinary meeting, even more so eleven years later. During the conference the speakers, all giants on their own turf, captured the excitement about what the new field of complexity science could mean for understanding our world and molded it in approaches to extract meaning from these budding insights. Now, eleven years later, the (video's of the) talks create a thrill, that may be similar to what Newton felt when he realized that standing on the shoulders of giants allowed him to see what he saw.In this book we have tried to capture that whole, while at the same time keeping the individual parts in view. We have done so by transcribing and editing the individual presentations, adding a summary to all of them and indicating the relevance of each of the presentations to ongoing and further explorations.…
