This book explores these issues, revolving around questions such as: ? What is the nature of information? ? What theoretical roles does information play in animal communication studies? ? Is it justified to employ these concepts in order to explain animal communication? ? What is the relation between animal signals and human language? The book approaches the topic from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including ethology, animal cognition, theoretical biology and evolutionary biology, as well as philosophy of biology and mind. A comprehensive introduction familiarises non-specialists with the field and leads on to chapters ranging from philosophical and theoretical analyses to case studies involving primates, birds and insects. The resulting survey of new and established concepts and methodologies will guide future empirical and theoretical research. 606 $aAnimal communication 615 0$aAnimal communication. 676 $a591.59 702 $aStegmann$b Ulrich$f1968- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452368003321 996 $aAnimal communication theory$92475394 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03552nam 2200685 450 001 9910822892003321 005 20210311111955.0 010 $a1-350-22056-6 010 $a1-283-92414-5 010 $a1-78032-274-7 024 7 $a10.5040/9781350220560 035 $a(CKB)2670000000326740 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000871578 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11549197 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000871578 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10838870 035 $a(PQKB)11096468 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1107618 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1107618 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10642035 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL423664 035 $a(OCoLC)823719936 035 $a(CaBNVSL)9781350220560 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000326740 100 $a20210311h20212013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aGross domestic problem$b[electronic resource] $ethe politics behind the world's most powerful number /$fLorenzo Fioramonti 210 1$aLondon, England :$cZed Books,$d2013. 210 2$a[London, England] :$cBloomsbury Publishing,$d2021 215 $aviii, 200 p. $cill 225 1 $aEconomic controversies 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a1-78032-272-0 311 $a1-78032-273-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 181-191) and index. 327 $aThe world's most powerful number -- The history of GDP: from crisis to crisis -- The Frankenstein syndrome -- The global quest to dethrone GDP -- Change from below -- Supremacy and resistance. 327 $aAbout the series; About the author; Title page; Copyright; Table of contents; Acknowledgements; Introduction The world's most powerful number; What is GDP?; The politics of GDP; GDP and its critics; Chapter 1 The history of GDP: from crisis to crisis; Numbers and politics: the pre-history of GDP; GDP as a 'war machine'; Manipulation and the 'stats war'; Globalization of national income and the global economic crisis; The greatest invention of the twentieth century?; Chapter 2 The Frankenstein syndrome; Taming the monster; Figure 2.1 GDP growth in the USA. 330 $a"Gross domestic product is one of the best-known and most powerful statistics in the contemporary world. It drives government policy on a variety of vital areas, from health to education. Yet perhaps for the first time since its invention in the 1930s, a wide range of people regard this icon of economic growth as a problem. Gross Domestic Problem unpacks GDP -- what it measures, what it doesn't, and why -- and reveals the powerful politics that have allowed it to dominate today's economies. Lorenzo Fioramonti demonstrates just how little GDP has to do with equity and social and environmental justice, and shows that an alternative is possible."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aEconomic controversies. 606 $aGross national product$vStatistics 606 $aGross domestic product 606 $aIndustrial productivity$xForecasting 606 $aSocial research & statistics$2bicssc 615 0$aGross national product 615 0$aGross domestic product. 615 0$aIndustrial productivity$xForecasting. 615 7$aSocial research & statistics 676 $a339.31 700 $aFioramonti$b Lorenzo$0817783 801 0$bEBLCP 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822892003321 996 $aGross domestic problem$93963515 997 $aUNINA
