Book Description
La obra Fisiología celular y neurofisiología complementa la serie de libros de Fisiología de Alexánderson, la cual se ha vuelto un referente en la enseñanza de la fisiología en el pregrado de varias escuelas y facultades de medicina en México y el extranjero. Un aspecto que vale la pena destacar de este libro es la contribución de diversos autores de diferentes instituciones, quienes son especialistas en el área de las ciencias biomédicas y clínicas, y de jóvenes instructores del Departamento de Fisiología; todos en conjunto terminan por aportar experiencia y sobre todo, una visión actualizada de los diferentes temas del área de la fisiología celular y neurofisiología. Al mismo tiempo, cada capítulo propone el logro de resultados de aprendizaje, los cuales guían el aprendizaje autorregulado de los estudiantes de pregrado hacia el pensamiento crítico y reflexión de la fisiología. La obra está dividida en: - Fisiología celular y principios del sistema nervioso - Sistemas sensoriales - Sistema motor - Otras funciones del sistema nervioso Cada división se compone de diferentes capítulos que exponen el conocimiento de los temas, y que llevan al alumno hacia los puntos fundamentales que deben comprender.

Book Description
Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's preeminent biologists, has revolutionized scientific thinking with his vision of a living, developing universe--one with its own inherent memory. In The Rebirth of Nature, Sheldrake urges us to move beyond the centuries-old mechanistic view of nature, explaining why we can no longer regard the world as inanimate and purposeless. Sheldrake shows how recent developments in science itself have brought us to the threshold of a new synthesis in which traditional wisdom, intuitive experience, and scientific insight can be mutually enriching.

Book Description
A wide-ranging study that illuminates the connection between epidemic diseases and societal change, from the Black Death to Ebola This sweeping exploration of the impact of epidemic diseases looks at how mass infectious outbreaks have shaped society, from the Black Death to today. In a clear and accessible style, Frank M. Snowden reveals the ways that diseases have not only influenced medical science and public health, but also transformed the arts, religion, intellectual history, and warfare. A multidisciplinary and comparative investigation of the medical and social history of the major epidemics, this volume touches on themes such as the evolution of medical therapy, plague literature, poverty, the environment, and mass hysteria. In addition to providing historical perspective on diseases such as smallpox, cholera, and tuberculosis, Snowden examines the fallout from recent epidemics such as HIV/AIDS, SARS, and Ebola and the question of the world’s preparedness for the next generation of diseases.

Book Description
Through a series of chapters and dialogues, this volume presents a panorama of some of the paradigmatic changes that took place over the 1980s and 1990s in the field of systemic theory. The authors are researchers who challenge boundaries in the culture-knowledge-practice landscape.
Author: Stuart A. Kauffman Publisher: Oxford University Press ISBN: 9780199826674 Category : Science Languages : en Pages : 734
Book Description
Stuart Kauffman here presents a brilliant new paradigm for evolutionary biology, one that extends the basic concepts of Darwinian evolution to accommodate recent findings and perspectives from the fields of biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics. The book drives to the heart of the exciting debate on the origins of life and maintenance of order in complex biological systems. It focuses on the concept of self-organization: the spontaneous emergence of order that is widely observed throughout nature Kauffman argues that self-organization plays an important role in the Darwinian process of natural selection. Yet until now no systematic effort has been made to incorporate the concept of self-organization into evolutionary theory. The construction requirements which permit complex systems to adapt are poorly understood, as is the extent to which selection itself can yield systems able to adapt more successfully. This book explores these themes. It shows how complex systems, contrary to expectations, can spontaneously exhibit stunning degrees of order, and how this order, in turn, is essential for understanding the emergence and development of life on Earth. Topics include the new biotechnology of applied molecular evolution, with its important implications for developing new drugs and vaccines; the balance between order and chaos observed in many naturally occurring systems; new insights concerning the predictive power of statistical mechanics in biology; and other major issues. Indeed, the approaches investigated here may prove to be the new center around which biological science itself will evolve. The work is written for all those interested in the cutting edge of research in the life sciences.
