Twenty-five original essays written by leading scholars, both American Indian and non-American Indian, bring a comprehensive perspective to a history that in the past has been related exclusively by Euro-Americans. The essays cover a wide range of Indian experiences and practices, including contacts with non-Indians, religion, family, economy, law, education, gender, and culture. They reflect new approaches to Native America drawn from environmental, comparative, and gender history in their exploration of compelling questions regarding performance, identity, cultural brokerage, race and blood, captivity, adoption, and slavery. Each chapter also encourages further reading by including a carefully selected bibliography. Intended for students, scholars, and general readers of American Indian history, this timely book is the ideal guide to current and future research.Blackwell companions to American history ;4.Indians of North AmericaHistoryIndians of North AmericaHistory.970/.00497Deloria Philip Joseph546225Salisbury Neal891741MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996218170203316A companion to American Indian history1991603UNISA05064nam 22006015 450 991030985780332120251113192125.03-030-01198-410.1007/978-3-030-01198-7(CKB)4100000007389476(DE-He213)978-3-030-01198-7(MiAaPQ)EBC5629353(EXLCZ)99410000000738947620190104d2018 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBiological Robustness Emerging Perspectives from within the Life Sciences /edited by Marta Bertolaso, Silvia Caianiello, Emanuele Serrelli1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resource (X, 258 p. 26 illus., 15 illus. in color.)

Conclusion - The Upcoming Role of Robustness in Biology. .This volume reviews examples and notions of robustness at several levels of biological organization. It tackles many philosophical and conceptual issues and casts an outlook on the future challenges of robustness studies in the context of a practice-oriented philosophy of science. The focus of discussion is on concrete case studies. These highlight the necessity of a level-dependent description of robust biological behaviors.Experts from the neurosciences, biochemistry, ecology, biology, and the history and the philosophy of life sciences provide a multiplex perspective on the topic. Contributions span from protein folding, to cell-level robustness, to organismal and developmental robustness, to sensorimotor systems, up to the robustness of ecological systems.Several chapters detail neurobiological case-studies. The brain, the poster child of plasticity in biology, offers multiple examples of robustness. Neurobiology explores the importance of temporal organization and multiscalarity in making this robustness-with-plasticity possible. The discussion also includes structures well beyond the brain, such as muscles and the complex feedback loops involved in the peculiar robustness of music perception. Overall, the volume grounds general reflections upon concrete case studies, opening to all the life sciences but also to non-biological and bio-inspired fields such as post-modern engineering. It will appeal to researchers, students, as well as non-expert readers.History, Philosophy and Theory of the Life Sciences,2211-1956 ;23BiologyPhilosophyBioinformaticsNeurosciencesPhilosophy of naturePhilosophy of BiologyComputational and Systems BiologyNeurosciencePhilosophy of NatureBiologyPhilosophy.Bioinformatics.Neurosciences.Philosophy of nature.Philosophy of Biology.Computational and Systems Biology.Neuroscience.Philosophy of Nature.570.1572.838Bertolaso Martaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtCaianiello Silviaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSerrelli Emanueleedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910309857803321Biological Robustness2218325UNINA
