Paperback. Condición: New. 'A brilliant book [that] shows a way out of the destructive trap of Anthropocentric arrogance.' Vandana Shiva, from the Foreword'Read this book if you would like to understand the intelligence of living systems.' Dr Denis Noble, University of Oxford'A welcoming yet fiercely challenging and provocative read shining a light on the way we look at the science of life.' LoveReadingWhat is life? This is arguably the fundamental question in all of science, and yet many scientists believe that life can be reduced to mechanistic factors, such as genes and information codes. But in a world as rich and complex as this one, can such an assertion really be true? Biocivilisations is a thrillingly original look at the mystery of life and a recognition of the complex civilisations of bacteria, viruses, fungi, plants and animals that have preceded the human world by billions of years. Dr Predrag Slijepcevic, senior lecturer in the Department of Life Sciences at Brunel University, reconsiders the limited scope and timeframe of our current 'scientific revolution' and shares how - from the tiniest bacteria to the largest mammals - the living world has long fostered ancient biocivilisations: how ants practice agriculture, how insects perform surgery, how trees conduct research, how slime moulds build networks as complex as our modern transportations systems and more. More than 99.99 percent of life on Earth has existed without humanity and life will continue without humans long into the future.Biocivilisations challenges us to reconsider the limited scope and time-window of our current 'scientific revolution' and to fundamentally reimagine what we call 'life on Earth' by posing a powerful question: Are we really the intelligent masters over nature we think we are.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 2024 Nautilus Book Award Gold Medal Winner: Restorative Earth Practices'A brilliant book [that] shows a way out of the destructive trap of Anthropocentric arrogance.'Vandana Shiva, author of Terra Viva'An unusually thought-provoking and ambitious book.'Dr. James A. Shapiro, author of Evolution: A View from the 21st CenturyBiocivilisations is an important, original rethinking of the mystery of life and its deep uncertainty, exploring the complex civilisations that existed on Earth long before humans.What is life Many scientists believe life can be reduced to 'mechanistic' factors, such as genes and information codes. Yet there is a growing army of scientists, philosophers and artists who reject this view. The gene metaphor is not only too simplistic but deeply misleading. If there is a way to reduce life to a single principle, that principle must acknowledge the creativity of life, turning genetic determinism on its head.The term biocivilisations is the acknowledgement of this uncertainty of life, as opposed to a quasi-certainty of the human position governed by a narrow time window of the scientific revolution. Life existed without humans for more than 99.99 percent of the Earth's existence. Life will also continue without humans long after our inevitable extinction.In Biocivilisations, Dr Predrag Slijepcevic shows how bacteria, amoebas, plants, insects, birds, whales, elephants and countless other species not only preceded human beings but demonstrate elements of how we celebrate human civilisation complex communication, agriculture, science, art, medicine and more.Humans must try to adopt this wisdom from other biocivilisations that have long preceded our own. By rethinking the current scientific paradigm, Dr Slijepcevic makes clear that a transformation from a naïve young species into a more mature species in tune with its surroundings will save us from our own violence and the violence we inflict on the rest of our living planet.'Read this book if you would like to understand the intelligence of living systems.'Dr Denis Noble, University of Oxford. …
