Berkeley's Puzzle - John Campbell - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Berkeley's Puzzle - John Campbell - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Sensory experience seems to be the basis of our knowledge and conception of mind-independent things. The puzzle is to understand how that can be: even if the things we experience (apples, tables, trees etc), are mind-independent how does our sensory experience of them enable us to conceive of them as mind-independent? George Berkeley thought that sensory experience can only provide us with the conception of mind-dependent things, things which cannot exist when they aren''t being perceived. It''s easy to dismiss Berkeley''s conclusion but harder to see how to avoid it. In this book, John Campbell and Quassim Cassam propose very different solutions to Berkeley''s Puzzle. For Campbell, sensory experience can be the basis of our knowledge of mind-independent things because it is a relation, more primitive than thought, between the perceiver and high-level objects and properties in the mind-independent world. Cassam opposes this ''relationalist'' solution to the Puzzle and defends a ''representationalist'' solution: sensory experience can give us the conception of mind-independent things because it represents its objects as mind-independent, but does so without presupposing concepts of mind-independent things.This book is written in the form of a debate between two rival approaches to understanding the relationship between concepts and sensory experience. Although Berkeley''s Puzzle frames the debate, the questions addressed by Campbell and Cassam aren''t just of historical interest. They are among the most fundamental questions in philosophy.

Wood in Archaeology - Lee A. Newsom - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Wood in Archaeology - Lee A. Newsom - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this book, Lee A. Newsom offers an overview of wood in archaeology --how and where it is preserved and analyzed, its relevance to paleoecological and paleoenvironmental questions, as well as its role as an important source of information in modern archaeological science and related historical disciplines. Her book addresses a range of questions about wood reliance practices, sustainability, and the overall relevance of forest ecosystems to past cultures and cultural evolution. Newsom provides a step-by-step treatment of archaeological analysis with clear explanations and examples from various corners of the world. She also shows how the study of archaeological wood is relevant to modern restoration ecology and conservation biology that tracks long-term ancient ecosystems, including questions of global change. Demonstrating the vital role of wood and timber resources to past human societies, her book will interest scholars and students of archaeology, historical ecology, paleoecology, and wood science.

Biodiversity in Dead Wood - Jogeir N. Stokland - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Biodiversity in Dead Wood - Jogeir N. Stokland - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Fossils document the existence of trees and wood-associated organisms from almost 400 million years ago, and today there are between 400,000 and 1 million wood-inhabiting species in the world. This is the first book to synthesise the natural history and conservation needs of wood-inhabiting organisms. Presenting a thorough introduction to biodiversity in decaying wood, the book studies the rich diversity of fungi, insects and vertebrates that depend upon dead wood. It describes the functional diversity of these organisms and their specific habitat requirements in terms of host trees, decay phases, tree dimensions, microhabitats and the surrounding environment. Recognising the threats posed by timber extraction and forest management, the authors also present management options for protecting and maintaining the diversity of these species in forests as well as in agricultural landscapes and urban parks.

The Stepfamily Puzzle - Craig Everett - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Stepfamily Puzzle - Craig Everett - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Do stepfamilies experience greater levels of stressors than first families? Do they also experience more negative manifestations of stress? Find the latest research on these questions and more in this groundbreaking exploration of the complex factors and dynamics that make up stepfamilies. The Stepfamily Puzzle fills a gap in research that has not kept pace with the rapid growth of interest in this subject. It sets some of the pieces of the stepfamily puzzle into an intergenerational framework that includes the roles of grandparents, parent-child interactions, the struggles to define boundaries and achieve marital intimacy, and the underlying effects of financial support on stepfamily well-being. The Stepfamily Puzzle compares the effects of stress in stepfamilies and conditions in other families and reveals that the differences between the two types of families may not be as dramatic as long assumed. It also examines in-depth the emotional and financial stressors that impact stepfamilies and how this stress is exhibited in family relationships. Other groundbreaking research presented in this book includes: - - the closeness of relationships between children and grandparents in stepfamilies as compared to children and grandparents in first families - - effects of ongoing attachment to the former spouse on post-divorce relationships - - stepsibling subsystems - - a comparison of self-esteem and behavior problems of stepchildren and children in other family structures - - social support received by children in stepmother, stepfather, and intact families - - quality of stepfather-adolescent relationships - - effect of child support on stepfamily satisfaction - Therapists, attorneys, and those interested in the numerous therapeutic and psychoeducational programs, self-help groups, and trade literature available on stepfamily relationships will find The Stepfamily Puzzle a valuable introduction to current research in this area. By presenting the complex variables that interact within stepfamilies, this book helps professionals understand the dynamics behind stepfamily relationships so they can provide effective support and care.
