Horror stories on this topic have been featured in the scientific and popular press over the past fifteen years, invariably asking what amphibian declines are telling us about the state of the environment. Are declines harbingers of devastated ecosystems or simply weird reflections of a peculiar amphibian world? This compendium-presenting new data, reviews of current literature, and comprehensive species accounts-reinforces what scientists have begun to suspect, that amphibians are a lens through which the state of the environment can be viewed more clearly. And, that the view is alarming and presages serious concerns for all life, including that of our own species. The first part of this work consists of more than fifty essays covering topics from the causes of declines to conservation, surveys and monitoring, and education. The second part consists of species accounts describing the life history and natural history of every known amphibian species in the United States. 606 $aAmphibian declines 606 $aAmphibian declines$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmphibian declines. 615 0$aAmphibian declines 676 $a333.95/78 701 $aLannoo$b Michael J$0920149 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450081803321 996 $aAmphibian declines$92457471 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06023oam 2200709Ia 450 001 9910782289703321 005 20190503073344.0 010 $a0-262-27235-0 010 $a1-4356-5189-8 035 $a(CKB)1000000000535604 035 $a(EBL)3338898 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000110651 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11778090 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000110651 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10064761 035 $a(PQKB)11022089 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0001375536 035 $a(OCoLC)234181574$z(OCoLC)646752623$z(OCoLC)764494773$z(OCoLC)961526377$z(OCoLC)961872413$z(OCoLC)962723942$z(OCoLC)965991933$z(OCoLC)991925717$z(OCoLC)1037932500$z(OCoLC)1038697460$z(OCoLC)1045494716$z(OCoLC)1055313287$z(OCoLC)1066430970$z(OCoLC)1081291074 035 $a(OCoLC-P)234181574 035 $a(MaCbMITP)7735 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3338898 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10233572 035 $a(OCoLC)234181574 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3338898 035 $a(PPN)170238709 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000535604 100 $a20080717d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBetter than conscious? $edecision making, the human mind, and implications for institutions /$fedited by Christoph Engel and Wolf Singer ; program advisory committee: Christoph Engel [and others] 210 $aCambridge, Mass. $cMIT Press$d2008 210 4$d©2008 215 $a1 online resource (464 p.) 225 1 $aStru?ngmann Forum reports 300 $aForum held June 10-15, 2007 in Frankfurt, Germany. 311 $a0-262-19580-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and indexes. 327 $aBetter than conscious?: the brain, the psyche, behavior, and institutions / Christoph Engel and Wolf Singer -- Conscious and nonconscious processes: distinct forms of evidence accumulation? / Stanislas Dehaene -- The role of value systems in decision making / Peter Dayan -- Neurobiology of decision making: an intentional framework / Michael N.

[et al.]. 330 $aExperts discuss the implications of the ways humans reach decisions through the conscious and subconscious processing of information. Conscious control enables human decision makers to override routines, to exercise willpower, to find innovative solutions, to learn by instruction, to decide collectively, and to justify their choices. These and many more advantages, however, come at a price: the ability to process information consciously is severely limited and conscious decision makers are liable to hundreds of biases. Measured against the norms of rational choice theory, conscious decision makers perform poorly. But if people forego conscious control, in appropriate tasks, they perform surprisingly better: they handle vast amounts of information; they update prior information; they find appropriate solutions to ill-defined problems. This inaugural Strungmann Forum Report explores the human ability to make decisions, consciously as well as without conscious control. It explores decision-making strategies, including deliberate and intuitive; explicit and implicit; processing information serially and in parallel, with a general-purpose apparatus, or with task-specific neural subsystems. The analysis is at four levels--neural, psychological, evolutionary, and institutional--and the discussion is extended to the definition of social problems and the design of better institutional interventions. The results presented differ greatly from what could be expected under standard rational choice theory and deviate even more from the alternate behavioral view of institutions. New challenges emerge (for example, the issue of free will) and some purported social problems almost disappear if one adopts a more adequate model of human decision making. 410 0$aStru?ngmann Forum reports. 606 $aDecision making$xPhysiological aspects$vCongresses 606 $aDecision making$xSocial aspects$vCongresses 606 $aCognitive neuroscience$vCongresses 610 $aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 610 $aPHILOSOPHY/General 615 0$aDecision making$xPhysiological aspects 615 0$aDecision making$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCognitive neuroscience 676 $a612.8 701 $aEngel$b Christoph$f1956-$0501347 701 $aSinger$b W$g(Wolf)$01555549 712 02$aFrankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, 712 12$aErnst Strčungmann Forum 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782289703321 996 $aBetter than conscious$93817548 997 $aUNINA
