He was also an eloquent writer with a lifelong interest in the philosophical implications of the startling new scientific developments with which he was so involved. Mind and Nature is a collection of Weyl's most important general writings on philosophy, mathematics, and physics, including pieces that have never before been published in any language or translated into English, or that have long been out of print. Complete with Peter Pesic's introduction, notes, and bibliography, these writings reveal an unjustly neglected dimension of a complex and fascinating thinker. In addition, the book includes more than twenty photographs of Weyl and his family and colleagues, many of which are previously unpublished. Included here are Weyl's exposition of his important synthesis of electromagnetism and gravitation, which Einstein at first hailed as "a first-class stroke of genius"; two little-known letters by Weyl and Einstein from 1922 that give their contrasting views on the philosophical implications of modern physics; and an essay on time that contains Weyl's argument that the past is never completed and the present is not a point. Also included are two book-length series of lectures, The Open World (1932) and Mind and Nature (1934), each a masterly exposition of Weyl's views on a range of topics from modern physics and mathematics. Finally, four retrospective essays from Weyl's last decade give his final thoughts on the interrelations among mathematics, philosophy, and physics, intertwined with reflections on the course of his rich life. 606 $aMathematics$xPhilosophy 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMathematics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy. 676 $a510.1 686 $aUB 6000$2rvk 700 $aWeyl$b Hermann$f1885-1955.$056496 701 $aPesic$b Peter$0472860 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459302103321 996 $aMind and nature$92483456 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03036nam 22007694a 450 001 9910957862203321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9780674264724 010 $a067426472X 010 $a9780674033603 010 $a0674033604 024 7 $a10.4159/9780674033603 035 $a(CKB)1000000000786966 035 $a(OCoLC)607857365 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10312748 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000111589 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11137686 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000111589 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10081487 035 $a(PQKB)10797860 035 $a(DE-B1597)457656 035 $a(OCoLC)1032676081 035 $a(OCoLC)1049675392 035 $a(OCoLC)1054878437 035 $a(OCoLC)979683405 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780674033603 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3300043 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10312748 035 $a(OCoLC)434595739 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3300043 035 $a(Perlego)1133089 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000786966 100 $a20070709d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBiobazaar $ethe open source revolution and biotechnology /$fJanet Hope 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aCambridge, Mass. $cHarvard University Press$d2008 215 $a1 online resource (441 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9780674026353 311 08$a0674026357 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 367-389) and index. 327 $aAn irresistible analogy -- The trouble with intellectual property in biotechnology -- Intellectual property and innovation -- Welcome to the bazaar -- Open source licensing for biotechnology -- Foundations of the biobazaar -- Financing open source biotechnology -- Biotechnology's open source revolution. 330 $aCan the open source approach do for biotechnology what it has done for information technology? Hope's book is the first sustained and systematic inquiry into the application of open source principles to the life sciences. Traversing disciplinary boundaries, she presents a careful analysis of intellectual property-related challenges confronting the biotechnology industry and then paints a detailed picture of "open source biotechnology" as a possible solution. 606 $aBiotechnology$vPatents 606 $aTechnological innovations$vPatents 606 $aPatent licenses 606 $aBiotechnology$xEconomic aspects 606 $aTechnological innovations$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aBiotechnology 615 0$aTechnological innovations 615 0$aPatent licenses. 615 0$aBiotechnology$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aTechnological innovations$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a346.04/86 700 $aHope$b Janet$f1972-$01809456 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957862203321 996 $aBiobazaar$94360259 997 $aUNINA
