Conscious Mind in the Physical World

Conscious Mind in the Physical World

We have seen remarkable progress in our detailed understanding of the physical world from the smallest constituents of atoms to the remotest distances seen by telescopes. However we have yet to explore the phenomenon of consciousness. Can physical things be conscious or is consciousness something else forever outside the range of physics? And how does consciousness interact with physical things? A lively account of quantum theory and its puzzles Conscious Mind in the Physical World examines two developments in particular that have altered the context of discussions about consciousness. One is computer technology which allows us to make machines that can calculate at speeds far greater than the human brain while the other is the study of the microscopic world. The book explores philosophical issues such as idealism and free will and speculates on the relationship of consciousness to quantum mechanics. This resource will stimulate physicists with an interest in philosophy philosophers interested in physics and anyone fascinated about the waking state of the mind.

Fossil Ecosystems of North America A Guide to the Sites and their Extraordinary Biotas

Fossil Ecosystems of North America A Guide to the Sites and their Extraordinary Biotas

Most major recent advances in understanding the history of life on Earth have been through the study of exceptionally well preserved biotas (Fossil-Lagerstätten). These are windows on the history of life on Earth and can provide a fairly complete picture of the evolution of ecosystems through time. This book follows the success of Evolution of Fossil Ecosystems by the same authors which covered Fossil-Lagerstätten around the world. The success of the first book prompted this new book which draws on four localities from the original book and adds another ten all located in North America. Following an introduction to Fossil-Lagerstätten each chapter deals with a single fossil locality. Each chapter contains a brief introduction placing the Lagerst e in an evolutionary context; there then follows a history of study of the locality; the background sedimentology stratigraphy and palaeoenvironment; a description of the biota; discussion of the palaeoecology and a comparison with other Lagerstätten of a similar age and/or environment. At the end of the book is an Appendix listing museums in which to see exhibitions of fossils from each locality and suggestions for visiting the sites. | Fossil Ecosystems of North America A Guide to the Sites and their Extraordinary Biotas

The Mathematics of Politics

The Mathematics of Politics

It is because mathematics is often misunderstood it is commonlybelieved it has nothing to say about politics. The high schoolexperience with mathematics for so many the lasting impressionof the subject suggests that mathematics is the study of numbers operations formulas and manipulations of symbols. Thosebelieving this is the extent of mathematics might conclude mathematics has no relevance to politics. This book counters this impression. The second edition of this popular book focuses on mathematical reasoningabout politics. In the search for ideal ways to make certain kindsof decisions a lot of wasted effort can be averted if mathematics can determine thatfinding such an ideal is actually impossible in the first place. In the first three parts of this book we address the following threepolitical questions:(1) Is there a good way to choose winners of elections?(2) Is there a good way to apportion congressional seats?(3) Is there a good way to make decisions in situations of conflict anduncertainty?In the fourth and final part of this book we examine the ElectoralCollege system that is used in the United States to select a president. There we bring together ideas that are introduced in each of the threeearlier parts of the book. | The Mathematics of Politics
