Filosofía más allá de la academia
Las discusiones, en entornos académicos, acerca de la pertinencia de ciertas prácticas en filosofía han trazado múltiples posibilidades de análisis sobre la dirección que, en este ejercicio, se debería abordar la filosofía. Es así como, de forma no deliberada, se dan posiciones argumentadas que afirman la necesidad del quehacer filosófico en espacios estrictamente académicos en los que la producción del saber depende de un ejercicio reflexivo, analítico en torno al gran acervo histórico con el que cuenta la disciplina para, a partir de este, establecer sus razones para criticar, afirmar o proponer. Por otra parte, se puede encontrar a aquellos que consideran que el hecho filosófico solo puede darse en relación con los demás y con los contextos en los que se desenvuelve el hombre, aduciendo que la filosofía es un hecho tan humano como la razón, esto sin entrar en detalle de la exposición teórica que sobre esta afirmación existe
Alexander the Great: The Invisible Enemy
Despite Alexander the Great's unprecedented accomplishments, during the last seven years of his life, this indomitable warrior became increasingly unpredictable, sporadically violent, megalomaniacal, and suspicious of friends as well as enemies. What could have caused such a lamentable transformation? This biography seeks to answer that question by assessing the role of alcohol in Alexander the Great's life, using the figure of Dionysus as a symbol of its destructive effects on his psyche. The unique methodology employed in this book explores various aspects of Alexander's life while maintaining an historical framework. The exposition of the main theme is handled in such a way that the biography will appeal to general readers as well as scholars.
Cosmic Rays and Particle Physics
Over recent years there has been marked growth in interest in the study of techniques of cosmic ray physics by astrophysicists and particle physicists. Cosmic radiation is important for the astrophysicist because in the farther reaches of the universe. For particle physicists, it provides the opportunity to study neutrinos and very high energy particles of galactic origin. More importantly, cosmic rays constitue the background, and in some cases possibly the signal, for the more exotic unconfirmed hypothesized particles such as monopoles and sparticles. Concentrating on the highest energy cosmic rays, this book describes where they originate, acquire energy, and interact, in accreting neutron stars, supernova remnants, in large-scale shock waves. It also describes their interactions in the atmosphere and in the earth, how they are studied in surface and very large underground detectors, and what they tell us.
Plant Invasions
There are many books on aspects of plant invasions, but none that focus on the key role of species interactions in mediating invasions. This book reviews exciting new findings and explores how new methods and tools are shedding new light on crucial processes in plant invasions. This book will be of interest to academics and students of ecology, researchers engaged in developing management solutions, scientific managers of natural ecosystems, and policy-makers.
