But how did Darwin's theories fare in other regions of the world? Adriana Novoa and Alex Levine offer here a history and interpretation of the reception of Darwinism in Argentina, illuminating the ways culture shapes scientific enterprise. In order to explore how Argentina's particular interests, ambitions, political anxieties, and prejudices shaped scientific research, From Man to Ape focuses on Darwin's use of analogies. Both analogy and metaphor are culturally situated, and by studying scientific activity at Europe's geographical and cultural periphery, Novoa and Levine show that familiar analogies assume unfamiliar and sometimes startling guises in Argentina. The transformation of these analogies in the Argentine context led science-as well as the interaction between science, popular culture, and public policy-in surprising directions. In diverging from European models, Argentine Darwinism reveals a great deal about both Darwinism and science in general. Novel in its approach and its subject, From Man to Ape reveals a new way of understanding Latin American science and its impact on the scientific communities of Europe and North America.Evolution (Biology)ArgentinaHistoryScienceArgentinaHistoryElectronic books.Evolution (Biology)History.ScienceHistory.576.8/20982Novoa Adriana1963-883191Levine Alex1966-883190MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459721403321From man to ape2146660UNINA06824nam 22009135 450 991048410000332120251226200118.03-540-78157-910.1007/978-3-540-78157-8(CKB)1000000000490933(SSID)ssj0000319862(PQKBManifestationID)11243003(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000319862(PQKBWorkID)10343829(PQKB)10893050(DE-He213)978-3-540-78157-8(MiAaPQ)EBC3062158(MiAaPQ)EBC6806062(Au-PeEL)EBL6806062(OCoLC)233973909(PPN)123743680(MiAaPQ)EBC337226(EXLCZ)99100000000049093320100301d2008 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtccrRobot Vision Second International Workshop, RobVis 2008, Auckland, New Zealand, February 18-20, 2008, Proceedings /edited by Gerald Sommer, Reinhard Klette1st ed. 2008.Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :Imprint: Springer,2008.1 online resource (XI, 472 p.)

Horn published a book entitled Robot Vision, which actually discussed a wider ?eld of subjects, basically addressing the ?eld of computer vision, but introducing “robot vision” as a technical term. Since then, the - teraction between computer vision and research on mobile systems (often called “robots”, e.g., in an industrial context, but also including vehicles, such as cars, wheelchairs, tower cranes, and so forth) established a diverse area of research, today known as robot vision. Robot vision (or, more general, robotics) is a fast-growing discipline, already taught as a dedicated teaching program at university level. The term “robot vision” addresses any autonomous behavior of a technical system supported by visual sensoric information. While robot vision focusses on the vision process, visual robotics is more directed toward control and automatization. In practice, however, both ?elds strongly interact. Robot Vision 2008 was the second international workshop, counting a 2001 workshop with identical name as the ?rst in this series. Both workshops were organized in close cooperation between researchers from New Zealand and Germany, and took place at The University of Auckland, New Zealand. Participants of the 2008 workshop came from Europe, USA, South America, the Middle East, the Far East, Australia, and of course from New Zealand.Image Processing, Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and Graphics,3004-9954 ;4931Computer scienceControl engineeringRoboticsAutomationComputer visionPattern recognition systemsArtificial intelligenceComputer graphicsTheory of ComputationControl, Robotics, AutomationComputer VisionAutomated Pattern RecognitionArtificial IntelligenceComputer GraphicsComputer science.Control engineering.Robotics.Automation.Computer vision.Pattern recognition systems.Artificial intelligence.Computer graphics.Theory of Computation.Control, Robotics, Automation.Computer Vision.Automated Pattern Recognition.Artificial Intelligence.Computer Graphics.629.892637Klette ReinhardSommer Gerald1945-International Workshop on Robot VisionMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484100003321Robot Vision774410UNINA
