El planeta de los estúpidos

In previous volumes in this series, Advances in Metal and Semiconductor Clusters, the focus has been on atomic clusters of metals, semiconductors and carbon. Fundamental gas phase studies have been surveyed, and most recently scientists have explored new materials which can be produced from clusters or cluster precursors. In this latest volume, the focus shifts to clusters composed primarily of non-metal molecules or atoms which have one or more metal atoms seeded into the cluster as an impurity. These clusters provide model systems for metal ion solvation processes and metal-ligand...

Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic resonance challenges the fundamental assumptions of modern science. A world-famous biologist, Sheldrake proposes that all self-organizing systems, from crystals to human societies, inherit a collective memory that influences their form and behaviour. Rather than being ruled by fixed laws, nature is essentially habitual. All human beings draw upon a collective human memory, and in turn contribute to it. Even individual memory depends on morphic resonance rather than on physical memory traces stored within the brain. Morphic resonance works through morphic...

Este libro presenta los temas básicos de la topología que deben ser conocidos por estudiantes de matemáticas y física interesados en este área y áreas afines de las matemáticas.

Des de tiempos remotos los humanos han observado el comportamiento animal, primero para sobrevivir, luego para cazarlos y después para domesticarlos. Hoy en día, en el mundo natural y urbano en el que vivimos ¿quién no ha visto un ave alzar sus coloridas alas y aletearlas vigorosamente hacia una hembra, o a una ardilla comiendo semillas? Por un motivo u otro, los seres humanos han estado y siguen interesados en la conducta animal. La etología, la ciencia que estudia el comportamiento animal, permite aproximarnos de una perspectiva sistemática a responder cuáles son las causas...
