Storks, Ibises and Spoonbills of the World【電子書籍】[ James Hancock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Everything you ever wanted to know about storks, ibises and spoonbills.</strong></p> <p>Some of the world's largest and most spectacular birds are to be found among this group of wading birds. Tragically, they also include many of the world's most endangered species, as changes in land use erode their wetland habitats.</p> <p>Some like the White Stork have lived alongside humans for hundreds of years and are well known from numerous studies. Others, like the Storm's stork and ibises of West Africa, South-East Asia and South America live so secluded a life in the remote corners of the globe that they will probably be extinct before even the most basic details of their biology are known.</p> <p>In this monograph, three authors and two artists have combined their skills to capture what is known of this group of wading birds. The text opens with general chapters on taxonomy and feeding, breeding and behaviour, followed by detailed coverage of each species.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 10,464円

Rhinoplasty and the nose in early modern British medicine and culture【電子書籍】[ Emily Cock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Challenging histories of plastic surgery that posit a complete disappearance of Gaspare Tagliacozzi’s rhinoplasty operation after his death in 1599, <em>Rhinoplasty and the nose in early modern British medicine and culture</em> traces knowledge of the procedure within the early modern British medical community, through to its impact on the nineteenth-century revival of skin-flap facial surgeries. The book explores why such a procedure was controversial, and the cultural importance of the nose, offering critical readings of literary noses from Shakespeare to Laurence Sterne. Medical knowledge of the graft operation was accompanied by a spurious story that the nose would be constructed from flesh purchased from a social inferior, and would drop off when that person died. The volume therefore explores this narrative in detail for its role in the procedure’s stigmatisation, its engagement with the doctrine of medical sympathy, and its unique attempt to commoditise living human flesh.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 15,919円

Treasure Your Exceptions The Science and Life of William Bateson【電子書籍】[ Alan G. Cock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>William Bateson brought the work of Mendel (and much more) to the attention of the English-speaking world. He commanded the biological sciences in the decades after Darwin's death in 1882. To understand these years we must first understand Bateson. Through examination of the life of a major contributor to the turn-of-the-nineteenth-century revolution in biology, the authors reconcile the genocentrism of George Williams and Richard Dawkins with the hierarchical thinking of Richard Goldschmidt and Stephen Jay Gould. Aided by Rebecca Saunders, Bateson invented much of the basic terminology of modern genetics and, when addressing Darwin's great problem ? the origin of species, introduced the mysterious term "the residue." While the first edition of this work (2008) related "residue" to relative concentrations of bases in DNA, the second edition reveals this as reflecting fundamental differences in short strings of bases. Thus, the book has come to represent not only Bateson’s science and life, but also a revised history of the biosciences that is likely to be increasingly visited, both by scientists and by those who wish to fully understand contemporary debates on racial, eugenic and gender aspects of genetics. In a nutshell, the book describes what we, in modern terms, would call a "colossal intelligence failure." Mendel handed it to us "on a plate" in 1865 when Bateson was only 4. It took 35 years to "join the dots" with Bateson a primary joiner. Shrugged off by many 20th century scientists as a freak "blip" in what was really an orderly advance, the Mendel episode was but one of a succession of such "blips." Thus, a multiplicity of post-Mendelian "Mendels" emerge as the story of Bateson's life unfolds.</p> <p>Peter Harper in <em><strong>Human Genetics</strong></em> (2009): "This book puts the record straight and one is left with a feeling of admiration for Bateson as both a scientist and a man, and with no doubt that he, more than anyone else, was largely responsible for the rapid progress in modern genetics during the first decade of the twentieth century."</p> <p>Michael J. Wade in <em><strong>Evolution</strong></em> (2009): "I strongly recommend this book for its information on an important central figure and for its bringing to life the several controversies at the origins of Genetics. It greatly illuminates the conceptual foundations of evolutionary genetics."</p> <p>Elof Axel Carlson in <em><strong>Quarterly Review of Biology</strong></em> (2009): "This volume will be of enormous benefit to historians of science who like to follow how ideas are born or die and why participants of different sides of each controversy held such rigid views of their own work and saw little merit in their competitor’s research."</p> <p>Joel S. Schwartz in <em><strong>Choice</strong></em> (2009): "This work includes key events in Bateson's career and is strengthened by discussion of the rediscovery of Mendelian principles by early 20th-century geneticists. Its basic premise isthat Bateson was not merely one of the founders of genetics but played a pivotal role in the development of evolutionary biology by serving as the link between Victorian naturalists and early 20th-century biologists."</p> <p>Amitabh Joshi in <em><strong>Journal of Genetics</strong></em> (2010): "There is much in this book that I was not aware of, despite a formal training in genetics and a strong amateur interest in the history of biology.… It is certainly a book that any serious student of either genetics or evolution would greatly benefit from reading."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 27,955円

Pandora's Garden Kudzu, Cockroaches, and Other Misfits of Ecology【電子書籍】[ Clinton Crockett Peters ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Pandora’s Garden</em> profiles invasive or unwanted species in the natural world and examines how our treatment of these creatures sometimes parallels in surprising ways how we treat each other. Part essay, part nature writing, part narrative nonfiction, the chapters in <em>Pandora’s Garden</em> are like the biospheres of the globe; as the successive chapters unfold, they blend together like ecotones, creating a microcosm of the world in which we sustain nonhuman lives but also contain them.</p> <p>There are many reasons particular flora and fauna may be unwanted, from the physical to the psychological. Sometimes they may possess inherent qualities that when revealed help us to interrogate human perception and our relationship to an unwanted other. <em>Pandora’s Garden</em> is primarily about creatures that humans don’t get along with, such as rattlesnakes and sharks, but the chapters also take on a range of other subjects, including stolen children in Australia, the treatment of illegal immigrants in Texas, and the disgust function of the human limbic system. Peters interweaves these diverse subjects into a whole that mirrors the evolving and interrelated world whose surprises and oddities he delights in revealing.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,799円

【古本】 Pests in the City: Flies, Bedbugs, Cockroaches, and Rats - Dawn Day Biehler (University of Washington Press) 【紙書籍】 9780295993010

Roundabout Books
タイトル: Pests in the City: Flies, Bedbugs, Cockroaches, and Rats著者: Dawn Day Biehler出版社: University of Washington Press出版日: 2013年09月26日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。From tenements to alleyways to latrines, twentieth-century American cities created spaces where pests flourished and people struggled for healthy living conditions. In Pests in the City, Dawn Day Biehler argues that the urban ecologies that supported pests were shaped not only by the physical features of cities but also by social inequalities, housing policies, and ideas about domestic space.Community activists and social reformers strived to control pests in cities such as Washington, DC, Chicago, Baltimore, New York, and Milwaukee, but such efforts fell short when authorities blamed families and neighborhood culture for infestations rather than attacking racial segregation or urban disinvestment. Pest-control campaigns tended to target public or private spaces, but pests and pesticides moved readily across the porous boundaries between homes and neighborhoods.This story of flies, bedbugs, cockroaches, and rats reveals that such creatures thrived on lax code enforcement and the marginalization of the poor, immigrants, and people of color. As Biehler shows, urban pests have remained a persistent problem at the intersection of public health, politics, and environmental justice, even amid promises of modernity and sustainability in American cities.Watch the trailer: http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG9PFxLY7K4&feature=c4-overview&list=UUge4MONgLFncQ1w1C_BnHcw 4,298円

Why Elephants Cry How Observing Unusual Animal Behaviours Can Predict the Weather (and Other Environmental Phenomena)【電子書籍】[ John T. Hancock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Why Elephants Cry</em> is a fascinating frolic through the literature and evidence surrounding the use of unusual behavior of animals to measure and predict the environment. The role of animals, from the smallest ant to the biggest elephant, as predictors of environmental changes is framed around the climate crisis, which highlights the increasingly important part that animals will have to play in the future.</p> <p>Renowned biologist Professor John T. Hancock collects anecdotal stories and myths along with scientific evidence, demonstrating that observation of animals can be of tangible use. He looks at the measurement of the air temperature using ants, crickets and snakes, and goes on to assess the evidence that the observation of a wide range of animals can predict the weather or the imminent eruption of volcanoes and earthquakes. Evidence of animals being able to predict lunar and solar events, such as lunar cycles and the Northern Lights, is also considered.</p> <p>This is the only time that all this literature has been brought together in one place, a fascinating reference for anybody interested in animals and the environment. The book is also an ideal supplementary textbook for students studying animal behaviour.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,782円

Cockpit Monitoring and Alerting Systems【電子書籍】[ Paul M. Satchell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>While monitoring of computer-controlled systems is widespread, it is critically important in the cockpit of current passenger aircraft. Such monitoring requires special vigilance for those rare untoward events, which may be new to the pilot and which can have devastating consequences. This book uses a multidisciplinary approach to address this problem of sustaining attention while monitoring. It outlines and explains alternative ways of viewing the processes needed to prevent Human Factors accidents; it examines the use and limitations of cockpit resource management programmes in inducing behavioural and attitudinal changes appropriate for highly automated flight decks. The author’s approach deals rigorously with the physiological mechanisms underlying vigilance, arousal and stress, delineating clearly those that are relevant to the monitoring function. The three parts cover: monitoring problems and processes; monitoring measurement and alerting systems; and monitoring management. In the last part the author details management plans and guidance for monitoring assisted systems based on his understanding of the problems of continued human vigilance. Readership: pilots and training pilots; cockpit resource management groups; monitoring management specialists; university aviation departments; road and rail transport groups; those operating nuclear and large process installations.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 34,824円

The Mars Mystery The Secret Connection Between Earth and the Red Planet【電子書籍】[ Graham Hancock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>An asteroid transformed Mars from a lush planet with rivers and oceans into a bleak and icy hell. Is Earth condemned to the same fate, or can we protect ourselves and our planet from extinction?</p> <p>In his most riveting and revealing book yet, Graham Hancock examines the evidence that the barren Red Planet was once home to a lush environment of flowing rivers, lakes, and oceans. Could Mars have sustained life and civilization?</p> <p>Megaliths found on the parched shores of Cydonia, a former Martian ocean, mirror the geometrical conventions of the pyramids at Egypt's Giza necropolis. Especially startling is a Sphinx-like structure depicting a face with distinguishable diadem, teeth, mouth and an Egyptian-style headdress. Might there be a connection between the structures of Egypt and those of Mars? Why does NASA continue to dismiss these remarkable anomalies as "a trick of light"? Hancock points to the intriguing possibility that ancient Martian civilization is communicating with us through the remarkable structures it left behind.</p> <p>In exploring the possible traces left by the Martian civilization and the cosmic cataclysm that may have ended it, <strong>The Mars Mystery</strong> is both an illumination of our ancient past and a warning--that we still have time to heed--about our ultimate fate.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,022円

Unifying User Stories, Use Cases, and Story Maps The power of verbs, 2nd/Bookstore edition【電子書籍】[ Alistair Cockburn ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Unifying User Stories, Use Cases, Story Maps: The Power of Verbs, Second Edition</em> offers a comprehensive and cohesive explanation of three central techniques used in modern Agile requirements and product development. User stories, use cases, and story maps are widely adopted across teams, yet their relationships are often unclear.</p> <p>Many practitioners learn one technique without understanding how it complements the others, which leads to gaps in communication, inconsistent levels of detail, and misunderstandings that slow down delivery. This book addresses those issues directly by presenting a unified foundation for all three approaches and showing how to move among them with confidence.</p> <p>The book begins with seven key concepts that form the shared backbone of user stories, use cases, and story maps. These concepts provide the grounding needed to write any of the three representations well. With this foundation established, each technique is examined in detail.</p> <p>The section on user stories clarifies their intended purpose, why they are written the way they are, and how they support effective conversations within Agile teams. The section on use cases explains how to describe interactions step by step, revealing missing requirements and supporting design and testing. The section on story maps shows how to build a two-dimensional representation of user activities and tasks, helping teams see the overall flow of work and plan incremental releases.</p> <p>After presenting the techniques individually, the book integrates them. It explains how each technique brings a different perspective to the work of understanding users, describing system responsibilities, and planning delivery. The unified approach makes it easier for practitioners to switch among the models depending on the needs of the moment and to maintain coherence as the conversation shifts from broad understanding to detailed exploration.</p> <p>This second edition refines the explanations of the seven key concepts, expands the examples used to illustrate the contrasts among the techniques, and reorganizes the sequence of topics to provide a smoother learning path. Additional notes address questions raised by readers of the first edition, and the exercises and drills have been updated to strengthen self-study and classroom use. These improvements deepen the book's focus on clarity, practical application, and skill development.</p> <p>The book is intended for product owners, product managers, business analysts, UX designers, developers, testers, project managers, instructors, and Agile coaches. It is suitable for newcomers who need a clear introduction to the three techniques, as well as experienced practitioners seeking to understand how the techniques relate and how to use them together. With its structured approach, practical guidance, and emphasis on foundational concepts, the book supports collaborative work and clearer communication across modern software development teams.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,408円

Facing the Unexpected in Flight Human Limitations and Interaction with Technology in the Cockpit【電子書籍】[ Jean Pinet ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Airline pilots often have to face sudden, unexpected situations that can become potentially dangerous. They are trained to deal with these situations, but sometimes the lack of time before the situation deteriorates and the associated stress can compromise their basic cognitive sequence and lead to a serious incident or even an accident. This book identifies common denominators in pilots’ reactions to dangerous, unexpected events and highlights behavior common to all in complex, stressful situations.</p> <p>Facing the Unexpected in Flight: Human Limitations and Interaction with Technology attempts to clarify the human characteristics at play in stressful situations, with the goal of providing a more solid basis for designing aeronautical operating equipment and shaping future automation. The book applies an original cognitive analysis method to highlight actual operational behavior within a quick succession of short mental segments lasting less than one minute in all. This rational method of assessing human potential should contribute to a more effective distribution of roles and help to optimize the pilot?aircraft interface.</p> <p>The current drive towards total automation, together with the drone revolution and questions of cost-effectiveness within a global economy, raises the question of whether there is a need for pilots onboard aircraft. So, after scientifically dissecting human limitations and advantages in terms of flying an aircraft, the book concludes with reflections by the author on the possibility and implications of eliminating pilots from aircraft. In this section, the author sets aside scientific rigor and provides his sometimes subjective personal opinions on the professional future of airline pilots.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 36,482円

Inside the Cockpit Navigating the Complexity of Drug Development With Ai and Blockchain【電子書籍】[ Gunjan Bhardwaj ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The modern system of drug discovery and development is broken. Development costs are so high that pharmaceutical companies can only afford to develop blockbuster drugs that will be worth at least $1 billion annually and take a decade to come to market. Researchers have incentives to hide their work rather than collaborate. And the most valuable data for drug discovery is hidden in silos or unpublished research. Entrepreneur Gunjan Bhardwaj, CEO of Innoplexus and Cancercoin, is pioneering a new paradigm to bring drug development to meet the moral imperative of bringing lifesaving drugs to market faster and cheaper. His innovative combination of blockchain technology and second- and third-wave artificial intelligence changes the incentives for all the players in the drug development ecosystem. The broken drug development system exacts an enormous toll of human pain and suffering. Fixing it is a moral imperative. Inside the Cockpit shows how.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,657円

Learning Disability and Everyday Life【電子書籍】[ Alex Cockain ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Learning Disability and Everyday Life</em> brings into conversation ideas from social theory with “thick” descriptions of the everyday life of a middle-aged man with learning disabilities and autism.</p> <p>This book is markedly ethnographic in its orientation to the gritty graininess of everyday lifeーeating, drinking, walking, cooking, talking, and so onーin, with, and alongside learning disability. However, preoccupation with, the “small” coexists with a gaze intent upon capturing a bigger picture, to the extent that the things constituting everyday life are deployed as prisms <em>through</em> and <em>with</em> which to critically reflect upon the wider worlds of dis/ability and everyday life. Such attention to the small and the bigーthe micro and the macroーallows this book to explore the ordinary and everyday ways meanings about normalcy and abnormalcy, ability and disability, are put together, enacted, practised, made (up)ーin the sense of constituting <em>and</em> fabricatingーand, crucially, <em>accomplished</em> through and between people in specific, and invariably contingent, sociocultural, discursive, and material conditions of possibility.</p> <p>This book will be of specific interest not only to students and scholars of disability but also to persons with lived experiences of disability. This book will also be of interest to students and scholars of anthropology and sociology.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,450円
