    Paperback. Condition: Good. Pulse provides a startling glimpse into a new science that has emerged from technology and been perfected by nature, a science destined to reshape every aspect of our lives. Poised to have as great an impact on our world as the machine age once did on the feudal world, this change is all the more surprising in that it is not the future we've been led to expect. Pulse charts the growing power of this ""new biology"" of human systems and machines based on the ingenious design of living things. Written in simple, lively prose, Pulse describes emotional computers; ships that swim like fish; hard, soft, and wet artificial life; farms that grow like prairies; technological ecosystems; money that mimics the energy flows in nature; evolution at warp speed; and a great deal more. Using vivid, concrete examples, Robert Frenay takes us on a world tour of cutting-edge developments and the often colorful personalities behind them. He also shows how, as the machine age morphs into a culture linking seamlessly with nature, the old clash between those who revere nature and those who laud technology is coming to an end. This shift will produce not only systems and machines inspired by living things but also a human ""feedback"" culture. Pulse offers thoughtful and original conclusions about the promise - and danger - of our transformation as we move into the next phase of human cultural evolution.

    Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut -Eine sich rasant entwickelnde 'neue Biologiea?oe beschert uns Organisationsformen und Maschinen, die die Natur zum Vorbild nehmen und wie Lebewesen funktionieren. Die Logik des Maschinenzeitalters hat ausgedient. Computer mit Gefühlen, Schiffe, die wie Fische schwimmen, Geld, das natürliche Energieströme nachahmt, und Evolution im Zeitraffer a?' eine ständig wachsende Liste atemberaubender Neuentwicklungen hat mittlerweile den Weg aus den Labors in unser Alltagsleben angetreten. Nanotechnologie und Bionik sind groß im Kommen. Geniale Ideen, die fast vier Milliarden Jahre alt sind, erleben ein fulminantes Comeback. Impuls beschreibt einen epochalen Wandel, der bereits in vollem Gange ist und der alle Aspekte des menschlichen Lebens betreffen wird. Die Logik des Maschinenzeitalters, welche die Wissenschaft, Industrie und Kultur der westlichen Welt seit Jahrhunderten geprägt hat, hat ausgedient. An ihre Stelle tritt eine sich rasant entwickelnde 'neue Biologiea?oe a?' Organisationsformen, Systeme und Maschinen, die die Natur zum Vorbild nehmen und wie Lebewesen funktionieren. Die Veränderung vollzieht sich überall a?' in der Biologie, Ökologie, Robotik und Informatik ebenso wie in der Architektur, Soziologie, Ökonomie und Politik. Anhand zahlloser Beispiele stellt Robert Frenay die grandiosen Innovationen und die Persönlichkeiten vor, die den Anstoß zu einer radikal neuen Zukunft geben. Bei allen Verheißungen verliert er aber auch nicht die Gefahren und Risiken aus dem Blick, die mit diesem faszinierenden Wandel einhergehen. Impuls bietet Anregungen für eine neue Generation von Fragen, Fragen, die uns helfen, die Natur mit klarem Blick zu sehen, von ihr zu lernen und die überholten politischen und ökologischen Debatten des 20. Jahrhunderts hinter uns zu lassen. Gebundene Ausgabe, Größe: 14.9 x 4.6 x 22.4 cm.
