This is the first uniform description of all key levels of communication in the organismic kingdoms of plants, fungi, animals and bacteria based on the most recent empirical data.

Theory of the Earth

Stanford University Press, 2021

We need a new philosophy of the earth. Geological time used to refer to slow and gradual processes, but today we are watching land sink into the sea and forests transform into deserts. We can even see the creation of new geological strata made of plastic, chicken bones, and other waste that could remain in the fossil record for millennia or...

Image Processing Using Pulse-Coupled Neural Networks

Springer, 2005

Humans have an outstanding ability to recognise, classify and discriminate
objects with extreme ease. For example, if a person was in a large classroom
and was asked to find the light switch it would not take more than a second or
two. Even if the light switch was located in a different place than the human
expected or it was...

Sex Hormones and Immunity to Infection

Springer, 2009

Why sex matters

Among human and nonhuman animals, the prevalence and intensity of infection typically is higher in males than females and may reflect differences in exposure as well as susceptibility to pathogens. Elevated immunity among females is a double-edged sword in which it is beneficial against infectious diseases but is...

Keywords in Radical Philosophy and Education (Critical Understanding in Education)

Brill Academic Publishers, 2019

While education is an inherently political field and practice, and while the political struggles that radical philosophy takes up necessarily involve education, there remains much to be done at the intersection of education and radical philosophy. That so many intense political struggles today actually center educational processes and...

Acres of Skin: Human Experiments at Holmesburg Prison

Routledge, 1999

In the first expose of unjust medical experimentation since David Rothman's Willowbrook's Wars, Allen M. Hornblum releases devastating stories from within the walls of Philadelphia's Holmesburg Prison. For more than two decades, from the mid-1950s through the mid-1970s, inmates were used, in exchange for a few dollars, as guinea pigs...

Selenium in Food and Health

Springer, 2006

Selenium is a contradictory nutrient. It has been called the essential poison—too much of it in the diet can be toxic; too little can result in chronic, and sometimes fatal, deficiency. Even health authorities have at times been confused. Although today in the USA, as in most other countries, selenium appears among the trace...

Lucid Waking: The Answer to the Problem of Consciousness

Independent Publishers Group, 2021

There is no problem more baffling to the academic world than the problem of consciousness. It’s fair to say that no academic has any clue at all about what consciousness is. In fact, academics have totally confused it with something radically different, namely sentience. The problem that faces the academic world is the insurmountable one...

Water Dynamics in Plant Production

CABI Publishing, 2003

The source of life is water. Life began in the oceans, which represent the largest stock of water on Earth. Much less water is stored below the land surface in the form of fresh groundwater, amounting to not quite 0.8% of the earth’s total water reserves, while lakes and rivers combined only contribute a further...
