The past
decade has seen an upsurge of interest in the application of evolutionary
thinking to the study of human behavior. This introductory book provides an
overview of the key theoretical principles of human sociobiology and
evolutionary psychology and shows how they illuminate the ways humans think and
behave. The book takes as one of its main premises the idea that we think,
feel, and act in ways that once enhanced the reproductive success of our
ancestors.
The book
covers fundamental issues such as the origins and function of sexual
reproduction, mating behavior, human mate choice, patterns of violence in
families, altruistic behavior, the evolution of brain size and the origins of
language, the modular mind, and the relationship between genes and culture. It
also examines the larger implications of Darwinism for how we view ourselves as
a species and our sense of ourselves as a moral animal. The book includes a
valuable historical introduction to evolutionary theories of behavior and
concludes with an examination of the social and political ramifications of
evolutionary thought. It contains numerous diagrams and illustrations,
comprehensive references, summaries, and suggestions for further reading.

Why
is eating chocolate so pleasurable? Can the function of just one small group of
chemicals really determine whether you are happy or sad? Does marijuana help to
improve your memory in old age? Is it really best to drink coffee if you want
to wake up and be alert? Why is a drug like PCP potentially lethal? Why does
drinking alcohol make you drowsy? Do cigarettes help to relieve anxiety? What
should you consume if you are having trouble staying in your chair and focusing
enough to get your work done? Why do treatments for the common cold make us
drowsy? Can eating less food preserve your brain? What are the possible side
effects of pills that claim to make your smarter? Why is it so hard to stop
smoking? Why did witches once believe that they could fly?
In this book, Gary Wenk demonstrates how, as a result
of their effects on certain neurotransmitters concerned with behavior,
everything we put into our bodies has very direct consequences for how we
think, feel, and act. The chapters introduce each of the main neurotransmitters
involved with behavior, discuss its role in the brain, present some background
on how it is generally turned on and off, and explain ways to influence it
through what we consume.

Given the opportunity to watch the inner
workings of his own brain, Steven Johnson jumps at the chance. He reveals the
results in Mind Wide Open, an engaging and personal account of his foray into
edgy brain science. In the 21st century, Johnson observes, we have become used
to ideas; without really recognizing that complex neurobiology has become a
commonplace thing to talk about. He sees recent laboratory revelations about
the brain as crucial for understanding ourselves and our psyches in new,
post-Freudian ways. Readers shy about slapping electrodes on their own temples
can get a vicarious scientific thrill as Johnson tries out empathy tests, neuro feedback, and fMRI scans.
The results paint a distinct picture of the author, and uncover general brain
secrets at the same time. Memory, fear, love, alertness all the multitude of
states housed in our brains are shown to be the results of chemical and
electrical interactions constantly fed and changed by input from our senses.
Mind Wide Open both satisfies curiosity and provokes more questions, leaving
readers wondering about their own gray matter. Therese Littleton This text
refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Publishers Weekly
It's the rare popular science book that not only gives
the reader a gee-whiz glimpse at an emerging field, but also offers a guide for
incorporating its new insights into one's own worldview. Johnson, the former
editor of the Webzine Feed and author of the acclaimed Emergence (2001), does
just that in his fascinating, engagingly written new survey. Applying what he
calls quot;the `long-decay' testquot; to gauge the information's enduring relevance, he
chooses a handful of current neuroscience concepts with the potential to
transform our thinking about emotions, memories and consciousness. In a
charming device, the writer subjects himself to the latest in neurological
testing techniques, from biofeedback to the latest forms of MRI, and shares the
insight he gains into the moment-by-moment workings of his own brain, from the
adrenaline spike he gets from making jokes to his intense focus when composing
sentences. The structure is fluid almost to a fault, as Johnson illustrates,
elaborates on and returns to his view of the brain as a modular, associative
network, quot;more like an
orchestra than a soloist.quot; He introduces the amygdala, for example, as a small region in the brain
implicated in our ongoing, nearly automatic interpretation of the emotional
states of others (called quot;mind readingquot;), a function impaired in autistic individuals.
But the amygdala, the brain's source of quot;gut feelings,quot; returns
in the following chapter as important in encoding fearful memories, a
connection that helps explain why fearful or traumatic memories are so much
more tenacious and detailed than emotionally neutral ones. Always considerate
of his audience, Johnson weaves disparate strands of brain research and theory
smoothly into the narrative (only a concluding section on Freud's modern legacy
feels like a tangent), which leaves readers' minds more open than they were.

Does
Freud still have something to teach us? The premise of this volume is that he
most certainly does. Approaching Freud from not only the philosophical but also
historical, psychoanalytical, anthropological, and sociological perspectives,
the contributors show us how Freud gave us a new and powerful way to think
about human thought and action. They consider the context of Freud's thought
and the structure of his arguments to reveal how he made sense of ranges of
experience generally neglected or misunderstood. All the central topics of
Freud's work from sexuality and neurosis to morality, art, and culture are
covered.

Evolution of Organ Systems
Systematics has developed
rapidly during the past two decades. A multitude of new
methods and contributions from a diversity of biological fields
including molecular genetics and developmental biology have provided a wealth of phylogenetic
hypotheses, some confirming traditional views others contradicting them.
Despite such inconsistencies, it is now possible to recognize robust regions of
a 'tree of life' and also to identify problematic areas which have yet to be resolved.
This is the first book to apply the current state of
phylogeny to an evolutionary interpretation of animal organ systems and body
architecture, providing alternative theories in those cases of continuing
controversy. Organs do not appear suddenly during evolution; instead they are
composed of far simpler structures. In some cases it is even possible to trace
particular molecules or physiological pathways as far
back as pre-animal history. What emerges is a fascinating picture, showing how
animals have combined ancestral and new elements in novel ways to form
constantly changing responses to environmental requirements. The Evolution of
Organ Systems starts with a general overview of current animal phylogeny,
followed by review of general body organization including symmetry,
anteroposterior axis, dorsoventral
axis, germ layers, segmentation, and skeletons. Subsequent chapters then
provide a detailed description of the individual
organ systems themselves - integument, musculature, nervous system, sensory organs, body cavities, excretory system, circulatory
system, respiratory system, intestinal system, gonads
and gametes. Generously illustrated throughout, this accessible text is
suitable for both upper level undergraduate and
graduate students taking courses in animal evolution, organogenesis, animal
anatomy, zoology and systematics. It will also be a
valuable reference tool for those professional researchers in these fields
requiring an authoritative, balanced and up-to-date overview of the topic.

Epic History of Biology
The
search for our elusive human origins and an understanding of the mysteries of
the human body have challenged the most inquisitive and imaginative thinkers
from Egyptian times through the twentieth century. In The Epic History of
Biology, Anthony Serafini - a distinguished
philosopher and historian of science - regales the reader with the triumphs and
failures of the geniuses of the life sciences.
The subtleties of the animal kingdom - anatomy, zoology, and reproduction -
along with the complexities of the plant kingdom, have
fascinated humanity as far back as 5000 years ago. Astounding ancient knowledge
of the arcane curing powers of herbs as well as early experimentation with
different chemical combinations for such purposes as mummification led to today's
biological technology. Innovative pioneers such as Aristotle, Galen,
Hippocrates, and Vesalius challenged the limits of knowledge and
single-mindedly pursued their work, often in the face of blind superstition.
In superb, lyrical prose Serafini recreates the ideas
and theories of these revolutionaries from ancient times through today, against
the backdrop of the dogma and prejudices of their time. He explores the
inspired revelations that gave birth to such discoveries as the controversial
theory of evolution, the humble origins of genetics, the fantastic predictions
of quantum mechanics, and the infinite promise of computer technology. Even
today the biological sciences are undergoing rapid and kaleidoscopic changes.
Every new insight gives rise to a myriad of new ethical questions and
responsibilities. The Epic History of Biology confronts these issues head on
and predicts the wondrous new directions biology will follow.

Floral Diagrams: An Aid to Understanding Flower Morphology and
Evolution
Floral
morphology remains the cornerstone for plant identification and studies of
plant evolution. This guide gives a global overview of the floral diversity of
the angiosperms through the use of detailed floral
diagrams. These schematic diagrams replace long
descriptions or complicated drawings as a tool for understanding
floral structure and evolution. They show important features of flowers, such as the relative positions of the
different organs, their fusion, symmetry, and structural
details. The relevance of the diagrams is discussed, and pertinent evolutionary
trends are illustrated. The range of plant species represented reflects the
most recent classification of flowering plants based
mainly on molecular data, which is expected to remain stable in the future.
This book is invaluable for researchers and students
working on plant structure, development and systematics,
as well as being an important resource for plant ecologists, evolutionary
botanists and horticulturists.
