Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. This work presents the hypothesis that the development of our higher-level symbolic thinking, language and social skills cannot be explained by genes and natural selection, but depends on cultural practices learned anew by each generation over millions of years, dating back to primate and cultures.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. An investigation of how the digital revolution is fundamentally changing our concept of work, and what it means for our future economy. None of us has ever lived through an industrial revolution. Until now. Digital technology is transforming every corner of the economy, fundamentally altering the way things are done, who does them, and what they earn for their efforts. In The Wealth of Humans, Economist editor Ryan Avent brings up-to-the-minute research and reporting to bear on the major economic question of our time: can the modern world manage technological changes every bit as disruptive as those that shook the socioeconomic landscape of the 19th century? Travelling around the world, Avent investigates the meaning of work today: how technology is rendering time-tested business models outmoded and catapulting workers into a world indistinguishable from that of a generation ago. Our conceptions of the relationships between capital and labor and between rich and poor have been overturned. Past revolutions required rewriting the social contract, as will this one. Avent looks to the history of the Industrial Revolution and the work of numerous experts for lessons in reordering society. The future needn't be bleak, but as The Wealth of Humans explains, we can't expect to restructure the world without rethinking what an economy should be. …

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. From the beginning of human memory, dogs have been living with virtually every human society on earth. Of all the animals, the dog has long maintained the closest relationship with man. In FIRST FRIEND, Katharine M. Rogers explores the history of that relationship - from what is known about how it first came about to how it developed through the centuries. From work-mate to beloved pet, from the ancient world to modem times, FIRST FRIEND is a charming, compelling work exploring that closest of interspecies bonds. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In the childhood of every human being and at the dawn of human history there is an amazing and, until now, unexplained leap from simple genetically programmed behaviour to language, symbolic thinking, and culture. In The First Idea , Stanley Greenspan and Stuart Shanker explore this missing link and offer brilliant new insights into two longstanding questions: how human beings first create symbols and how these abilities evolved and were transmitted across generations over millions of years. From fascinating research into the intelligence of both human infants and apes, they identify certain cultural practices that are vitally important if we are to have stable and reflective future societies.…
