Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The term 'flies' applies to the insects belonging to the order Diptera, more commonly known as flies, gnats, midges, and leaf miners. They typically possess a pair of antennae, a set of sponging¿type mouthparts, two developed forewings for flight, and two hindwings which are used for aerial balance.Flies occupy unique and diverse roles within our ecosystem: some are pests which affect our agricultural and horticultural crops; other varieties act as vectors that spread diseases within the human and animal population. However, not all flies are harmful to humans: some species of fly play a role in facilitating crop pollination, whilst others are involved in environmental engineering, waste decomposition, and/or nutrient recycling, forming an important component of integrated pest management as effective biocontrol agents. Others even play a role in crime solving within the field of forensic entomology.Flies: Agricultural and Public-Health Perspectives has been planned with a holistic approach to highlight both the positive and negative aspects of flies. This book starts with a chapter on the introduction to flies, followed by insects of agricultural and horticultural importance, flies as vectors, and beneficial flies.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores a new approach to understanding the evolution of mind and consciousness by examining the perceptual abilities of animals and the way they experience their world. It offers a science-based bottom-up approach to our own conscious worldview by seeing it through the eyes of others. Emphasis is on the role of context in evolution and the way animals internalize and engage with the contextual properties of their world that are meaningful for them. The core argument is that a context, which is subjective andcomprised of the perceptual capacities, offers new insights into the evolution of mind. Rather than seeing biological evolution in terms of the emergence of mindless forms and cultural evolution as the emergence of disembodied minds, the book seeks to integrate these two perspectives through the rigorous mapping of contexts.Key FeaturesReveals an understanding of animal mindsFormulates a hypothesis for the evolution of consciousnessIncludes a discussion of the origin of technological innovationProvides a rationale for the ecology of mindProposes a theory of the evolution of languageOutlines the science of experience and how it influences choiceExplains the role of context and choice with respect especially to human ecology 216 pp. Englisch.…
