Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Just when did Homo sapiens finally attain its modern mental capabilities Evidence about mental capacity is rare - scratched prey-bones and simple tools can set only a very low 'lower bound'. Only the most durable materials have survived, and they tell us nothing about what the makers thought or discussed, or how well they did so. 'Separation' speculates on the nature of creativity in early Homo sapiens society and how it might have been used and fostered. In the tale, Mother Nature 40,000 years ago brought together a collection of events in the affairs of a human tribe, each event improbable but certainly possible. The outcome was a multi-generational chain of spectacularly-gifted women who were cave artists and a great deal more, led by Artist Veejr and her mother Chys. Gerard, a modern boy living in the same region, discovers Veejr's main art-cave. In it, he finds a boggling display of her decades of development as a self-taught artist. The collection culminates in a magnificent painting -clearly a self-portrait- set among hundreds of depictions not of mere animals or items, but of people and autobiographical events from Chys' and Veejr's lives. Gerard becomes an archaeologist, forever lured onwards by the evidence he is uncovering about specific, talented, identifiable individuals - nameable, knowable people from so long ago. Across the separation emerges a surprisingly clear and detailed story of the relationship between Chys, Veejr, their descendants, art, and various forms of Tribal knowledge. That story is told by a remarkable and ever-growing suite of findings of materials and of evidence of individuals' thought processes. Ultimately, the Artist, via her descendants, can be traced forward into the present. Surely there is a reasonable probability that somewhere there may exist just such a record as is imagined here. It may someday be discovered: why not Nothing in the story is impossible.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A scientifically-defensible novel about a few of the oddities in human affairs that are triggered by the collapse of the Greenland Ice Cap - an event which can happen as described, in a single day. Although only raising mean sea level by about 14 cm, the event causes an atomic-weapons-level international conflict. The collapse also shuts off the Gulf Stream, thereby radically changing the climate of the British Isles, Scandinavia, and much of continental Europe. Ultimately, that 14cm of sea-level rise leads to partial destruction of the Antarctic Ice Cap. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. O'Brian's masterful series of 20 novels, set about the year 1800, features Jack Aubrey (of the Royal Navy) and Stephen Maturin MD FRS (also of the Navy, but only marginally so). All of the series's shoot-and-bang adventures and action feature Aubrey. But Maturin is by far the more complex, central, and important character - simultaneously a Paris-trained physician/surgeon, top-level secret agent for British Naval Intelligence, and world-class natural historian. Maturin provides the overall context for British Navy activities which Aubrey undertakes. Maturin is also the core observer of and commentator on the human condition, morality, history, social structures, political postures and events, historical context and future consequences of present actions --- in short, Maturin handles all the serious intellectual requirements and chores throughout the series. As ship's physician and surgeon aboard Jack's commands, Stephen maintains a steady medical practice, dealing with the wounds (accidental, intentional, military, civilian - plus the rare veterinarian adventure, and some obstetrics on occasion.) and rampant, pre-germ-theory illnessesof his floating world. The wounds are terrifying - lost limbs a commonplace, evisceration by flying chunks of wood routine - the illnesses are mysterious, deadly, incurable and utterly not understood, reaping perhaps ten times the death toll of actual combat. It is interesting to follow the good doctor's medical activities as he goes about the health-care business in his violence-laden universe, trying first to do no more harm, and second, to actually do something medically useful, despite the primitive state of 1800's medicine. HURT & SICK examines the doctor's doings on a chapter by chapter basis, through the entire series. Each medical event is identified, then briefly discussed. O'Brian is meticulous in his descriptions and in avoiding anachronisms - which puts the modern reader at a tremendous disadvantage. theory, practice and language of 1800's medicine are all utterly foreign to the modern student: therefore whenever explanations seem required, they are included in the note for that particular event. No attempt is made to give an overview (whatever that might mean) of medicine either in toto, or aboard His Majesty's warships. The treatment of each chapter of each book begins with a by-no-means-comprehensive precis of the chapter, followed immediately by the medical events, identified by page number. The chapter precises are, I find, needed 'refreshers' as to where one is in relationship to the overall series. In any case, it is both educational and entertaining to isolate Maturin's medical doings and examine them under a bit of a microscope. One does learn quite a bit when peering at the details.
