Compositional evolution : the impact of sex symbiosis and modularity on the gradualist framework of evolution / Richard A. Watson

2006171127Cambridge Mass. : MIT Press 2006. First Edition. Hardback. An exceptional copy in the original color printed boards. Particularly and uncommonly well-preserved; tight bright clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8"" - 9"" tall; 324 pages; Description: xvi 324 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Subjects: Evolution Biology --Mathematical models. Computational biology --Evolutionary computation --Evolution --Models Theoretical. Computational Biology. Series: The Vienna series in theoretical biology. Summary: No biological concept has had greater impact on the way we view ourselves and the world around us than the theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin's masterful contribution was to provide an algorithmic model a formal step-by-step procedure of how adaptation may take place in biological systems. However the simple process of linear incremental improvement that he described is only one algorithmic possibility and certain biological phenomena provide the possibility of implementing alternative processes. In Compositional Evolution Richard Watson uses the tools of computer science and computational biology to show that certain mechanisms of genetic variation such as sex gene transfer and symbiosis allowing the combination of preadapted genetic material enable an evolutionary process compositional evolution that is algorithmically distinct from the Darwinian gradualist framework. After reviewing the gradualist framework of evolution and outlining the analogous principles at work in evolutionary computation Watson describes the compositional mechanisms of evolutionary biology and provides computational models that illustrate his argument.He uses models such as the genetic algorithm as well as novel models to explore different evolutionary scenarios comparing evolution based on spontaneous point mutation sexual recombination and symbiotic encapsulation. He shows that the models of sex and symbiosis are algorithmically distinct from simpler stochastic optimization methods based on gradual processes. Finally Watson discusses the impact of compositional evolution on our understanding of natural evolution and similarly the utility of evolutionary computation methods for problem solving and design.

The Thought War: Japanese Imperial Propaganda

200694112University of Hawaii Press 2006. Hardcover in Dustjacket. AS NEW COPY!. MILITARY GENERAL World War II -First Edition. ix 242 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. #201225 Propaganda Japanese Master propagandists and their craft Defining the limits of society Advertising as propaganda A funny thing happened to me on the way to the front The Japanese propaganda struggle on the Chinese mainland Preparing for defeat. Includes bibliographical references and index. Sino-Japanese War 1937-1945 -- Propaganda Sino-Japanese War 1937-1945 -- Psychological aspects World War 1939-1945 -- Propaganda World War 1939-1945 -- Psychological aspects Japan -- History -- 1926-1945 The Thought War is the first book in English to examine the full extent of Japan's wartime propaganda. Based on a wide range of archival material and sources in Japanese Chinese and English it explores the propaganda programs of the Japanese government from 1931 to 1945 demonstrating the true scope of imperial propaganda and its pervasive influence an influence that is still felt today. Contrary to popular postwar rhetoric it was not emperor worship or military authoritarianism that led an entire nation to war. Rather it was the creation of a powerful image of Japan as the leader of modern Asia and the belief that the Japanese could and would guide Asia to a new glorious period of reform that appealed to imperial subjects. Kushner analyzes the role of the police and military in defining socially acceptable belief and behavior by using their influence to root out malcontents. His research is the first of its kind to treat propaganda as a profession in wartime Japan. He shows that the leadership was not confined to the crude tools of sloganeering and government-sponsored demonstrations but was able instead to appropriate the expertise of the nation's advertising firms to ""sell"" the image of Japan as Asia's leader and modernizer. In his exploration of the propaganda war in popular culture and the entertainment industry Kushner discloses how entertainers sought to bolster their careers by adopting as their own pro-war messages that then filtered down into society and took hold. Japanese propaganda frequently conflicted with Chinese and American visions of empire and Kushner reveals the reactions of these two nations to Japan's efforts and the meaning of their responses. ""A major contribution both to the study of Japan and propaganda in the twentieth century. Barak Kushner meticulously and convincingly reveals the full scope of what was assumed to not have existed; namely an organized multifaceted and disturbingly resilient system of Japanese propaganda. Based on an impressive array of primary sources many only recently uncovered The Thought War provides a fascinating assessment of the complex and often contradictory processes of Japanese propaganda in an imperial context."" --Michael Baskett University of Kansas ""Barak Kushner has written a first-rate study of propaganda in Japan during the Second World War. In a work of painstaking research he takes his readers into the heart of wartime Japan building a compelling argument that Japanese propaganda was sophisticated and effective in rallying the population and after the war seamlessly redirecting it to aid the transformation of Imperial Japan into the post-war democracy of today. The Thought War is a superbly competent piece of research that floods light into a place where only generalization supposition and stereotype had existed before."" --Nicholas J.

"The artist photographs Istanbul as a city in progress an enormous construction site in building growth presenting the image of a city in which the past has vanished before a permanent present and future. Black and white images on plates with apparent processing marks the path of the fluids is visible on many spots perhaps in an attempt to make them look like material culture objects - carriers of memory found during an excavation or in an old archive are the final outcome of almost all of his works. At the same time through the antithesis between image and material quick construction development/slow photographic procedure there is projected a gloomy depressive reality but also a city that has already started to sink". Theodore Markoglou / Curater of Thessaloniki Photobiennale. "L'artista fotografa Istanbul come una città"; in divenire un enorme cantiere in crescita edilizia presentando l'immagine di una città in cui il passato è svanito davanti a un presente e un futuro permanenti. Immagini in bianco e nero su lastre con evidenti segni di lavorazione il percorso dei fluidi è visibile in molti punti forse nel tentativo di farli sembrare oggetti di cultura materiale - portatori di memoria ritrovati durante uno scavo o in un vecchio archivio sono il risultato finale di quasi tutte le sue opere. allo stesso tempo attraverso l'antitesi tra immagine e materia sviluppo costruttivo rapido/procedimento fotografico lento si proietta una realtà cupa depressiva ma anche una città che ha già cominciato a sprofondare”".
