Evolutionary Developmental Biology of Invertebrates 5
This multi-author, six-volume work summarizes our current knowledge on the developmental biology of all major invertebrate animal phyla. The main aspects of cleavage, embryogenesis, organogenesis and gene expression are discussed in an evolutionary framework. Each chapter presents an in-depth yet concise overview of both classical and recent literature, supplemented by numerous color illustrations and micrographs of a given animal group. The largely taxon-based chapters are supplemented by essays on topical aspects relevant to modern-day EvoDevo research such as regeneration, embryos in the fossil record, homology in the age of genomics and the role of EvoDevo in the context of reconstructin...

Conceptual Change in Biology
This volume explores questions about conceptual change from both scientific and philosophical viewpoints by analyzing the recent history of evolutionary developmental biology. It features revised papers that originated from the workshop "Conceptual Change in Biological Science: Evolutionary Developmental Biology, 1981-2011" held at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin in July 2010. The Preface has been written by Ron Amundson. In these papers, philosophers and biologists compare and contrast key concepts in evolutionary developmental biology and their development since the original, seminal Dahlem conference on evolution and development held in Berlin in 1981. Many o...
Cellular Processes in Segmentation
The evolution of segmentation is one of the central questions in evolutionary developmental biology. Indeed, it is one of the best case studies for the role of changes in development in the evolution of body plans. Segmented body plans are believed to have appeared several times in animal evolution, and to have contributed significantly to the evolutionary success of the taxa in which they are present. Because of the centrality of the subject, and the continuing interest in understanding segmentation, this book offers an often overlooked focus on the cellular aspects of the process of segmentation, providing an invaluable reference for students of evolutionary developmental biology at all le...
En el trineo de Schopenhauer
Ariel Chipman, un profesor de filosofía que ha consagrado su vida a proclamar el imperativo del goce de vivir, se sume en una depresión. Nadine Chipman, su esposa, comienza a estar harta de su marido y se pregunta por qué no serle infiel. Serge Othon Weil, el amigo íntimo de la pareja, afirma haber comprendido que preguntarse por la vida en su totalidad no tiene sentido y rechaza todo atisbo de trascendencia. Y la psiquiatra de Ariel despotrica contra el sentimentalismo. Pero lo que todos ellos han experimentado es ese instante en que nuestra existencia parece vaciarse irremisiblemente de sentido. Y entonces, una avalancha de preguntas nos muestra que el mundo no es tal como lo hemos conocido. Es el momento ínfimo en que nos sabemos seres abocados a la muerte...

L'ofici de lector
Diu Joan Garí al pròleg d'aquest llibre que «llegir és l'ofici previ, bàsic i insubstituïble de tot autèntic escriptor. Que ningú em confonga amb un "crític literari", només sóc un escriptor que escriu dels llibres que ha llegit... sóc un escriptor que preferiria ser només un lector». Per això ell fa molts anys que té un bloc anomenat 'Ofici de lector', on penja els comentaris sobre novetats de literatura catalana o o -més sovint- internacional que publica habitualment al setmanari 'El Temps' o al diari 'Ara'. Garí ofereix en aquest volum una selecció d'indagacions llibresques aparegudes en els últims deu anys -pulcrament editades per la professora Anna Esteve. Es tracta de petites càpsules de literatura universal, excursions amb un estil meticulosament treballat, que busquen prolongar el plaer d'haver llegit amb un segon delit: el d'haver escrit.
