Sensory perception: mind and matter aims at a deeper understanding of the many facets of sensory perception and their relations to brain function and cognition. It is an attempt to promote the interdisciplinary discourse between the neurosciences and psychology, which speaks the language of cognitive experiences, and philosophy, which has been thinking about the meaning and origin of consciousness since its beginning. Leading experts contribute to such a discourse by informing the reader about exciting modern developments, both technical and conceptual, and by pointing to the big gaps still to be bridged. The various chapters provide access to scientific research on sensory perception and the mind from a broad perspective, covering a large spectrum of topics which range from the molecular mechanisms at work in sensory cells to the study of the unconscious and to neurophilosophy.

Der Juliputsch 1934 wurde in der NS-Zeit identitätsstiftender Mythos, in der Zweiten Republik zum Tabu. Im Lavanttal artete er zu einem regelrechten Bürgerkrieg aus. Doch wer waren die »heimlichen Vasallen« des Führers, die hinter dem rasanten Aufstieg der NSDAP in Unterkärnten und dem blutigen Umsturzversuch standen? Als der nationalsozialistische Putschversuch am Abend des 25. Juli 1934 in Wien bereits gescheitert war, stand der Aufstand in Kärnten noch bevor. Innerhalb weniger Stunden konnten ca. 1.300 Putschisten das gesamte Lavanttal für wenige Tage unter ihre Kontrolle bringen. Nirgendwo in Österreich beherrschten die Nationalsozialisten ein Territorium von vergleichbarer Größe. Der Historiker Christian Klösch rekonstruiert die Vorgeschichte und schildert die Geschehnisse des Bürgerkriegs. Anhand von Lebensgeschichten der Protagonisten des Putsches stellt er die Folgen für die Bevölkerung, die Karrieren der Putschisten, die persönlichen Netzwerke und die Kontinuität der lokalen Eliten über die verschiedenen politischen Systeme hinweg bis in die jüngste Vergangenheit dar.
The average person can name more bird species than they think, but do we really know what a bird “species” is? This open access book takes up several fascinating aspects of bird life to elucidate this basic concept in biology. From genetic and physiological basics to the phenomena of bird song and bird migration, it analyzes various interactions of birds – with their environment and other birds. Lastly, it shows imminent threats to birds in the Anthropocene, the era of global human impact. Although it seemed to be easy to define bird species, the advent of modern methods has challenged species definition and led to a multidisciplinary approach to classifying birds. One outstanding new ...
