Neural Mechanisms
This volume brings together new papers advancing contemporary debates in foundational, conceptual, and methodological issues in cognitive neuroscience. The different perspectives presented in each chapter have previously been discussed between the authors, as the volume builds on the experience of Neural Mechanisms (NM) Online – webinar series on the philosophy of neuroscience organized by the editors of this volume. The contributed chapters pertain to five core areas in current philosophy of neuroscience. It surveys the novel forms of explanation (and prediction) developed in cognitive neuroscience, and looks at new concepts, methods and techniques used in the field. The book also highlights the metaphysical challenges raised by recent neuroscience and demonstrates the relation between neuroscience and mechanistic philosophy. Finally, the book dives into the issue of neural computations and representations. Assembling contributions from leading philosophers of neuroscience, this work draws upon the expertise of both established scholars and promising early career researchers.

Quining and Unquining Qualia
Quining and Unquining Qualia critically examines Daniel Dennett’s claim that qualia—our subjective sensations—are illusions that should be dismissed from consciousness studies. The book introduces the ‘epistemic distance hypothesis,’ proposing that qualia are essential aspects of consciousness but lie beyond the reach of current scientific methods. It further argues that qualia distinguish human experience from artificial intelligence, challenging their elimination. Aimed at philosophers of mind, cognitive scientists, psychologists, and AI researchers, this book is also a valuable resource for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate philosophy students. It offers fresh insights into the debate on consciousness, the limits of science, and the human-AI divide, making it a key text for those exploring these philosophical challenges.
Tomorrow's Chemistry Today
Providing a glimpse into the future, the young scientists contributing here were considered to be the most important for tomorrow's chemistry and materials science. They present the state of the art in their particular fields of research, with topics ranging from new synthetic pathways and nanotechnology to green chemistry. Of major interest to organic chemists, materials scientists and biochemists.
The Compact Compendium of Experimental Philosophy
The relatively new movement of Experimental Philosophy applies different systematic experimental methods to further illuminate classical philosophical issues. This book brings together experts from the field to give the reader a compact yet extensive overview, offering a ready at hand introduction to the state of the art.
Neurocognitive Mechanisms
Gualtiero Piccinini presents a systematic and rigorous philosophical defence of the computational theory of cognition. His view posits that cognition involves neural computation within multilevel neurocognitive mechanisms, and includes novel ideas about ontology, functions, neural representation, neural computation, and consciousness.
Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is a composite material characterized by an enhanced post-cracking tensile residual strength, due to the capacity of fibres to bridge the crack faces by means of pull-out mechanism. Due to a better knowledge of FRC and the recent developments worldwide of guidelines for structural design, the fib Special Activity Group 5, who prepared the new fib Model Code, decided to introduce some sections on new materials and in particular on FRC structural design. At that time, working Groups TG 8.3 (“Fibre reinforced concrete”) and TG 8.6 (“Ultra high performance fibre reinforced concrete”) of fib prepared these sections of the new fib Model Code concerning FRC d...
Building for the Future: Durable, Sustainable, Resilient
This book presents the proceedings of the fib Symposium “Building for the future: Durable, Sustainable, Resilient”, held in Istanbul, Turkey, on 5–7 June 2023. The book covers topics such as concrete and innovative materials, structural performance and design, construction methods and management, and outstanding structures. fib (The International Federation for Structural Concrete) is a not-for-profit association whose mission is to develop at an international level the study of scientific and practical matters capable of advancing the technical, economic, aesthetic, and environmental performance of concrete construction.
Christopher Columbus and His Family
Any analysis of the background and youth of Christopher Columbus is necessarily based on the documents gathered in this volume, which includes all the known records relating to Columbus and his family in Liguria. All these documents, covering the century from 1429 to 1531, are preserved in Genoese and other Ligurian archives; more than a third of them have come to light since the 1896 Raccolta Colombiana. Most are notarial instruments that record the family's business and real estate transactions, wills, and so forth. A few are taken from the financial records of the city, and several more record the settlement of various conflicts, mostly involving business disputes. The colourful exception...
