Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Cities are often seen as symbols of order: the existence of citywalls, fortified gates, palaces, temples, roads, pavements, highways,public institutions, city centres and residential areas is interpretedas indicating the existence of a central authority that plansand controls the city. On the other hand, the very same cities arealso seen as symbols of spontaneous growth. The little windingstreets and alleys, the mixture of physical structures, styles andhuman activities have often given the impression that cities, likeforests, and other natural entities are organic structures - strange'natural artifacts'.Tokyo is a good example for this dual nature of cities. When youfirst encounter it, you get the impression of chaos: old buildingswith one or two storeys next to 30-, 40- or 50-storey skyscrapers;pedestrians, cars, trains moving in all directions, each with its owntrajectory. But then you realize that this seemingly chaotic structureprovides a context for perfectly ordered human activities: trainsleave and arrive as timetabled, their doors open at the exact pointsthat are marked with yellow lines on the platforms; early in themorning fishermen bring their catch to Tokyo's big fish market, auctionsare held, and by six o'clock this huge amount of sea food hasalready been distributed among thousands of restaurants all overthe city. And if you look deeper you learn that the chaotic face ofTokyo is the precondition for its ordered and organized life.Complexity theory or self-organization theory are umbrella termsfor a set of theories that study the interplay between chaos andorder. Originating in the sciences, these theories have been appliedto the study of cities in the last three decades. They show that asin natural systems, in the artificial systems that we call cities, chaosand order do not stand in opposition to each other. Rather, theycoexist in an ongoing interplay of circular causality: chaos is the preconditionfor new urban orders to emerge and then to reproducethemselves, whereas order and organization set the boundarieswithin which chaotic structures and behaviors can take place.Juval Portugali is professor of human geography in the Departmentof Geography and the Human Environment at Tel Aviv University.His research is devoted to the city as a self-organizing system.In addition to his teaching in Israel, he has taught at many universitiesoutside his home country as a guest professor, including TokyoUniversity. Wolf-Dieter Gericke studied architecture at Stuttgart University.He works as a free-lance photographer and designer inWaiblingen near Stuttgart. He has been visiting Tokyo almost everyyear for some time now.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This monograph demonstrates the interplay between Shannon information and semantic information in cognition. It shows that Shannon s information acts as driving force for the formation of semantic information; and vice versa, namely, that semantic information participates in the formation of Shannonian information. The authors show that in cognition, Shannonian and semantic information are interrelated as two aspects of a cognitive process termed as information adaptation. In the latter the mind/brain adapts to the environment by the deflating and/or inflating of the information conveyed by the environment. In the process of information adaptation, quantitative variations in Shannon s information entail different meanings while different meanings affect the quantity of information. The book illustrates the above conceptually and mathematically by reference to three cognitive processes: pattern recognition, face learning and the recognition of a moving object.…
