Populärwissenschaft

Die einheitliche Vision der unbelebten und der lebendigen Welt um uns herum, und in uns selber, kann nicht mehr mit einer Physik beschrieben und begriffen werden. Dazu bracht man eine neue, universelle Philosophie, eine Philosophie des Lebens in einem Leben-ermöglichenden (aber nicht garantierenden) Universum.

Discoveries of Author During College Years1- I discovered fundamental particles (FP) construct electrons, nucleons, atoms, and nano units under a S.I.FP. Mol. CIC. I discovered internal electrons, nucleons, atom's particle intelligence system centers (PIS). Also internal electrons, neutrons, proton's particle circulation systems (PCS), electrons nucleon's psyche genesis, and factual or real intelligence (RI).2- I discovered fundamental particle's general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biological chemistry. Also how exogenous airborne particle clouds enter into electrons, nucleons subsystem-units chemical lab.s, combine with internal electron, nucleon particle compounds, and construct molecular compound constructions of protons, neutrons, and electrons. And this is phenomenon of electron genesis, proton genesis, and neutron genesis.3- I discovered many plants, also possesses sensory intelligence systems, motor intelligence systems, and plants central intelligence systems. Also chemical combinations of airborne light fundamental particles with internal cell electrons, nucleons molecular compounds, under A.S.I.FP. Mol. CIC, produce light particle compounds constructions of the plants atoms, electrons, nucleons, the phenomenon of plants' atom genesis, and plants' cell genesis.4- During study in physics, I discovered exogenous airborne and indigenous particle cloud circulation systems, transmission of the particle clouds, and fundamental particles through particle currents between the different live and non-live planetary electrons, neutrons, protons, and atoms, combine with internal electron-nucleon particle compounds, and construct electrons, nucleons' molecular structures (phenomenon of electron-genesis, nucleon-genesis).

Il leggendario mago della sperimentazione, Lazzaro Spallanzani, era un affermato professore di storia naturale a Pavia quando nel 1785 decise di compiere una lunga esplorazione nei territori dell'impero ottomano. Durante l'avventuroso viaggio fece notevoli osservazioni di biologia marina, geologia e ornitologia. Con il fervore di una mente insaziabile, annotò gli usi delle popolazioni locali e l'amalgama di splendore e fatiscenza delle città, partecipando alla vivace vita culturale che ruotava attorno alle ambasciate occidentali. Quando fece ritorno a Pavia, venne investito dall'accusa infamante di aver rubato degli esemplari naturalistici dal museo dell'Università. Alla base di questo complotto vi erano invidie e rivalità accademiche, non così distanti da quelle odierne, ma anche forti contrapposizioni ideologiche. Caduta ogni accusa, la vicenda si concluse con la vendetta dello scienziato ai danni del suo principale detrattore, Giovanni Antonio Scopoli: una rivincita che, tramite reperti finti e sagaci libretti pseudonimi, presentava la stessa precisione e verve creativa delle sue indagini scientifiche. Gli intrighi dei celebri accademici divennero famosi anche all'estero e - come svelano alcuni recenti ritrovamenti documentali - si spinsero fino all'entourage di un anziano Carlo Goldoni. Paolo Mazzarello allestisce una formidabile impalcatura di fonti, restituendo con uno stile garbato e ironico l'esuberante atmosfera del secolo dei Lumi. Un viaggio nella cultura scientifica dell'Italia del Settecento fra sfide della scienza e congiure di potere.

Unconscious bias: persistent prejudiced behaviour that clashes with our consciously held beliefs. Its effects can be corrosive, even lethal. It robs organizations of talent, science of breakthroughs, politics of insight, individuals of their futures and communities of justice. So what real-world steps can we take to counteract it? Drawing on ten years' immersion in the topic, Jessica Nordell digs deep into the cognitive science and social psychology that underpin efforts to create change, and introduces us to the people who are practising a range of promising methods: the police using mindfulness to regulate high-stress situations; the doctors whose diagnostic checklists help eliminate bias in treatment; the lawyers and educators striving to embed equality all the way from the early-years playroom to the boardroom. Biased behaviour can be ended. This path-breaking, inspiring and indispensable book shows us how.

Alla fine del 2019, i medici degli ospedali di Wuhan, nella Cina centrale, si trovano ad affrontare una strana sindrome respiratoria che pare legata al grande mercato ittico della città, dove oltre al pesce si vende ogni tipo di animale commestibile, vivo o morto. Mentre i malati si moltiplicano e alcuni soccombono a una polmonite virale particolarmente aggressiva, i laboratori riescono rapidamente a isolare il responsabile della malattia: è un nuovo coronavirus, simile a quello della SARS che tra il 2002 e il 2003 aveva spaventato il mondo. Rispetto alla SARS, la nuova malattia è meno mortale ma molto più contagiosa, e ben presto la Cina è costretta a fare i conti con quella che per le autorità è "la più grave emergenza sanitaria nella storia della Repubblica popolare" e che per l'Organizzazione mondiale della sanità è "una minaccia peggiore del terrorismo". E davanti ai contagi e alle morti provocati dal coronavirus, anche l'Italia è obbligata a prendere misure senza precedenti per fermare l'epidemia. In questo libro, Roberto Burioni attinge - insieme a Pier Luigi Lopalco, esperto epidemiologo - alla sua lunga esperienza di medico e ricercatore per mostrare la natura e il funzionamento dei virus, il loro passaggio (spillover) dagli animali all'uomo, l'evoluzione delle nostre conoscenze scientifiche, gli effetti devastanti delle epidemie nella storia dell'umanità e le battaglie combattute nell'ultimo secolo contro i nostri nemici più piccoli e più feroci. Il nuovo coronavirus è una sfida alla nostra società avanzata. Non possiamo sapere quando lo sconfiggeremo, ma siamo certi di poter contare su un'arma formidabile: la scienza.

Paperback

This is a book inspired by a South African Expat's passion to save the rhinos in South Africa. The idea was to create awareness about rhino poaching around the world while encouraging children (and adults!) to get creative by writing about rhinos. Raising awareness and funds for anti¿poaching efforts in The Pilanesberg National Park is the ultimate goal of the Writing For Rhinos project and 100% of all funds raised through the sale of this book will go to The Pilanesberg Wildlife Trust in aid of rhino protection efforts. In this book, you will find a great mix of fact and fiction! You will find information about rhinos and why they are being poached. You will also learn all about who is working hard to save the rhinos in The Pilanesberg National Park and how these superheroes go about that very important job! There is also a list of things you can do to get involved in the fight against poaching so that you too, can help save the rhinos.In between all the important information you will find stories written by children and adults from all over the world. Some will leave you with a warm heart while others will get you thinking. We have included unique pieces of art which have been submitted by children who are standing up for our rhinos in addition to a few pieces contributed by our illustrator, Sradha Vaher.Get ready to dive and become involved in the fight to save our rhinos!

Säugetiere trauern und sie tricksen; sie sind einfühlsam, lernen und kommunizieren oft auf hohem Niveau. Sie freuen und sie ärgern sich - mit denselben Reaktionen von Körper und Gehirn wie bei uns Menschen. Tiere haben eine Persönlichkeit. Was unterscheidet uns eigentlich noch von ihnen? Und was können wir von ihnen lernen? Norbert Sachser, einer der weltweit führenden Tierverhaltensforscher, präsentiert darüber seine eigenen, bedeutenden Forschungen und insgesamt den letzten Stand des Wissens. Wir erfahren, wie Hunde Empathie zeigen, Mäuse Alzheimer entkommen, Meerschweinchen sozialen Stress vermeiden und zu welch bemerkenswerten Leistungen Menschenaffen, aber auch Raben fähig sind. Weltbild und Forschungslage in der Tierverhaltensforschung haben sich dramatisch verändert. Der berühmte Gegensatz nature or nurture, ererbt oder erworben, ist längst ein alter Hut. Wichtig ist heute die Erforschung des Zusammenspiels von Genen und Umwelt. Sachser spricht von einer "Revolution im Tierbild" - und ihren Folgen für unseren Umgang mit Wildtieren und Haustieren."Einer der bedeutendsten deutschen Verhaltensbiologen. Seine Erkenntnisse haben das wissenschaftliche Bild vom Tier wesentlich verändert." Deutschlandfunk

New book by the bestselling author of A Universe From Nothing, award-winning physicist and public intellectual, Lawrence Krauss tells the dramatic story of the scientific discoveries that see through the visible world and create our grand vision of the universe and our place within it.

Our understanding of the British Palaeolithic and Mesolithic has changed dramatically over the last three decades, and yet not since H. J. Fleure's A Natural History of Man in Britain (1951) has the New Naturalist Library included a volume focused on the study of early humans and their environment.In this long overdue new book, distinguished archaeologist Nick Ashton uncovers the most recent findings, following the remarkable survival and discovery of bones, stone tools and footprints which allow us to paint a picture of the first human visitors to this remote peninsula of north-west Europe.As part of the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain project and subsequent research, Ashton is involved in an unrivalled collaborative effort involving archaeologists, palaeontologists, and earth scientists at different British institutes, including the Natural History Museum and the British Museum. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the book explores the latest discoveries such as footprints at Happisburgh, Norfolk that are thought to be nearly one million years old, flint artefacts at Pakefield in Suffolk and mammoth remains at West Runton, among others. These remarkable remnants help our quest to unravel the interactions between the changing environments and their ancient human occupants, as well as their lifestyles and migrations.Early humans colonised our remote corner of the European mainland time and again, despite being faced with ice age climates with far-reaching consequences. Setting the scene on the Norfolk coast almost a million years ago, Ashton tells the story of the fauna, flora and developing geography of Britain against the backdrop of an ever-changing climate. Above all, he explores how early people began as brief visitors to this wild remote land, but over time through better ways of acquiring food and developing new technologies, they began to tame, shape and dominate the countryside we see today.
