Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. "We are buried beneath mountains of fast-accumulating data. In such circumstances, this book, rather than adding to the data load, aims to offer real understanding." -James LovelockHuman beings are extraordinary creatures. Intelligent, agile, and curious, we have adapted and invented our way… to becoming the most important species on the planet. So great is the extent of our influence, that many speak of a new geological era, the Anthropocene, an age defined by human-induced change to the blue and green globe we call home.Our lofty status comes with responsibility as much as possibility: How should we approach our present and future? What knowledge should we carry with us? Conceived by James Lovelock (1919-2022), inventor of the Gaia theory, this illustrated essay collection brings together an all-star lineup of thinkers and scientists to offer essential understanding about who we are, how we live, and where we might be going.Much as the Gaia theory considers our Earth as an integrated whole of living systems, The Earth and I encourages holistic understanding. Across 12 chapters, we take in both the intricate details and immense structures of our species and our planet, from our ever-expanding universe to our minuscule but mighty cells. We see stellar explosions and the layers of life beneath our feet, delve into the neuroscience of decision-making, get to grips with our climate, and contemplate our increasing intimacy with technology.The book's world-class contributors include quantum physicist Lisa Randall, Astronomer Royal Martin Rees, Pulitzer Prize-winning biologist Edward O. Wilson, and Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Eric Kandel. With lively illustrations from British artist Jack Hudson, the result is an inspiration for curious minds young and old, and a trusted tool kit for an informed and enlightened future. A richly illustrated collection of essays on earth and human science from 12 of today's leading thinkers. From stars to cells, quantum theory to capitalism, ancient fossils to Artificial Intelligence, this book delivers a holistic understanding of our planet and is a trusted tool kit for an informed and enlightened future. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Hudson, Jack (illustrator).

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -'Wir sind unter schnell wachsenden Datenbergen begraben. Vor diesem Hintergrund soll das vorliegende Buch nicht zur Masse der Daten beitragen, sondern echtes Wissen bieten.' -James LovelockWir Menschen sind außergewöhnliche Geschöpfe. Wir haben uns zur dominierenden Spezies auf dem Planeten entwick…elt und ihn derart umgestaltet, dass viele schon von einem neuen Erdzeitalter sprechen, dem Anthropozän.Aber unser privilegierter Status eröffnet nicht nur immer neue Möglichkeiten, er nimmt uns auch in die Pflicht: Wie sollten wir durch das neue Erdzeitalter reisen Welches Wissen sollten wir mitnehmen Diese illustrierte Anthologie ist ein Reiseführer in die Zukunft für den Menschen des 21. Jahrhunderts. Nach einer Idee von James Lovelock (1919-2022), dem Urheber der Gaia-Theorie, ermuntert das Buch zu einem ganzheitlichen Verständnis unserer Lebenswirklichkeit. Ähnlich wie die Gaia-Theorie unsere Erde als lebendiges Ganzes betrachtet, so bringt Die Erde und ich eine Reihe renommierter Autoren aus dem gesamten Spektrum der Wissenschaft zusammen, um auf breiter Grundlage ein Verständnis davon zu vermitteln, wer wir sind und wo wir uns befinden.Wie alle guten Reiseführer zeigt Die Erde und ich sowohl komplexe Einzelheiten als auch übergeordnete Strukturen auf. In zwölf Kapiteln zoomen wir uns von Wissenschaft zu Wissenschaft aus unserem ewig expandierenden Universum hinein in unsere winzigen, aber mächtigen Zellen. Astronomie, Geologie, Neurowissenschaften und Wirtschaftstheorie: Wir sehen Sterne explodieren, betrachten die Schichten des Lebens unter unseren Füßen, rücken den Fakten hinter den Klimakontroversen zu Leibe und denken über unsere wachsende Vertrautheit mit der Technik.Zu unseren fachkundigen Reiseführern zählen die Quantenphysikerin Lisa Randall, der Astronom Martin Lord Rees, der mit dem Pulitzer-Preis ausgezeichnete Biologe Edward O. Wilson und der Nobelpreisträger und Neurowissenschaftler Eric Kandel. Ihre packenden Essays und Berichte geben - mit Werken des britischen Künstlers Jack Hudson anschaulich illustriert - neugierigen Lesern aller Altersgruppen einen Werkzeugkasten für eine aufgeklärte Zukunft an die Hand. 192 pp. Englisch. Hudson, Jack (illustrator).
