Culture Technology and Development In Memory of Jan Hawkins:a Special Issue of mind Culture and Activity

Culture Technology and Development In Memory of Jan Hawkins:a Special Issue of mind Culture and Activity

This special issue provides a set of articles written by former colleagues and friends of Jan Hawkins-a member of a talented group of graduate students who participated in the weekly seminars held in what was then referred to as the Institute for Comparative Development during the mid-1970s. The single theme that brought together this diverse group of scholars and that dominates the papers in this issue is the belief in the value of human diversity not only as a resource for understanding human nature but as a necessity for continued human development. The articles and commentaries testify that the ideas practices and values that Jan Hawkins helped to create in the mid-1970s are now found around the world. | Culture Technology and Development In Memory of Jan Hawkins:a Special Issue of mind Culture and Activity

Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1

Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1

First published in 1977. The volume of research on nonhuman primates has expanded tremendously during the past 20 years and researchers' familiarity with them has increased correspondingly. This series of volumes deals with scientific studies of the behavior of nonhuman primates-apes monkeys and prosimians. The behavior of these animals is of course of interest in its own right. But then so is that of the many other orders of animals. Behavior of nonhuman primates is of special interest because these animals are more closely related to human beings structurally physiologically and beyond doubt behaviorally than are any other living animals. | Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1

Sound & Hearing A Conceptual Introduction

Sound & Hearing A Conceptual Introduction

The major aim of this book is to introduce the ways in which scientists approach and think about a phenomenon - hearing - that intersects three quite different disciplines: the physics of sound sources and the propagation of sound through air and other materials the anatomy and physiology of the transformation of the physical sound into neural activity in the brain and the psychology of the perception we call hearing. Physics biology and psychology each play a role in understanding how and what we hear. The text evolved over the past decade in an attempt to convey something about scientific thinking as evidenced in the domain of sounds and their perception to students whose primary focus is not science. It does so using a minimum of mathematics (high school functions such as linear logarithmic sine and power) without compromising scientific integrity. A significant enrichment is the availability of a compact disc (CD) containing over 20 examples of acoustic demonstrations referred to in the book. These demonstrations which range from echo effects and filtered noise to categorical speech perception and total more than 45 minutes are invaluable resources for making the text come alive. | Sound & Hearing A Conceptual Introduction
