 Os 33 textos foram redigidos com o intuito de levantar o véu sobre a face oculta, insuspeita para a maioria dos leitores, da vida das plantas, fungos e dos animais, incluindo do próprio Homem. Ao fazê-lo, tive a preocupação de acentuar dois aspetos. O primeiro é a interdependência das espécies, que assume, muitas vezes, o estatuto de simbiose obrigatória, consolidada ao longo de milénios de coevolução; dito de outro modo, a evolução das espécies é um processo comunitário, pois não há nenhuma que se possa vangloriar de ter evoluído e se ter diversificado por si própria, sem ser em conluio com outras. O segundo é o equilíbrio que subjaz às dinâmicas da herbivoria e da predação. Estas consubstanciam os fluxos de matéria e de energia inerentes à teia da vida, sem que, jamais, ponham em causa a sobrevivência de qualquer espécie. Transpondo para o senso comum, poderíamos invocar, a esse propósito, a sageza da natureza; que contrasta com irresponsabilidade que o Homem exibe desde que descobriu como fazer o fogo.

The Experience Machine - How Our Minds Predict And Shape Reality

de Andy Clark

~~17,56€~~ 14,05€ 20% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 A grand new vision of cognitive science that explains how our minds build our worlds ‘One of the most important books yet published this century’ Spectator For as long as we've studied the mind, we've believed that information flowing from our senses determines what our mind perceives. But as our understanding has advanced in the last few decades, a hugely powerful new view has flipped this assumption on its head. The brain is not a passive receiver, but an ever-active predictor. At the forefront of this cognitive revolution is widely acclaimed philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark, who has synthesized his ground-breaking work on the predictive brain to explore its fascinating mechanics and implications. Among the most stunning of these is the realization that experience itself, because it is guided by prior expectation, is a kind of controlled hallucination. We don't passively take in the world around us; instead our mind is constantly making and refining predictions about what we expect to see. This even applies to our bodies, as the way we experience pain and other states is shaped by our expectations, and this has broader implications for the understanding and treatment of conditions from PTSD to schizophrenia to medically unexplained symptoms. From the most mundane experiences to the most sublime, it is our predictions that sculpt our experience. A landmark study of cognitive science, The Experience Machine lays out the extraordinary explanatory power of the predictive brain for our lives, mental health and society.

Every Living Thing - The Great And Deadly Race To Know All Life (Winner Of The 2025 Pulitzer Prize For Biography)

de Jason Roberts

~~33,80€~~ 27,04€ 20% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 WINNER OF THE 2025 PULITZER PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY An Economist book of the year 2024. The dramatic, globe-spanning and meticulously-researched story of two scientific rivals and their race to survey all life. In the 18th century, two men dedicated their lives to the same daunting task: identifying and describing all life on Earth. Their approaches could not have been more different. Carl Linnaeus, a pious Swedish doctor with a huckster’s flair, believed that life belonged in tidy, static categories. Georges-Louis de Buffon, an aristocratic polymath and keeper of France’s royal garden, viewed life as a dynamic, ever-changing swirl of complexities. Both began believing their work to be difficult, but not impossible–how could the planet possibly hold more than a few thousand species? Stunned by life’s diversity, both fell far short of their goal. But in the process they articulated starkly divergent views on nature, on humanity’s role in shaping the fate of our planet, and on humanity itself. The rivalry between these two unique, driven individuals created reverberations that still echo today. Linnaeus, with the help of acolyte explorers he called “apostles” (only half of whom returned alive), gave the world such concepts as mammal, primate and homo sapiens–but he also denied species change and promulgated racist pseudo-science. Buffon coined the term reproduction, formulated early prototypes of evolution and genetics, and argued passionately against prejudice. It was a clash that, during their lifetimes, Buffon seemed to be winning. But their posthumous fates would take a very different turn. With elegant, propulsive prose grounded in more than a decade of research, bestselling author Jason Roberts tells an unforgettable true-life tale of intertwined lives and enduring legacies, tracing an arc of insight and discovery that extends across three centuries into the present day.
