Solar Energy Conversion Systems examines solar energy conversion as an integrative design process, applying systems thinking methods to a solid knowledge base for creators of solar energy systems. This approach permits different levels of access for the emerging broad audience of scientists, engineers, archit 606 $aSolar energy 615 0$aSolar energy. 676 $a621.47 700 $aBrownson$b Jeffrey R.

Onto-Ethologies traces the influence of Uexkull's ideas on the thought of Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Gilles Deleuze, as they explore how animal behavior might be said to approximate, but also differ from, human behavior. It is the relation between animal and environment that interests Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Deleuze, and yet it is the differences in their approach to Uexkull (and to concepts such as world, body, and affect) that prove so fascinating. This book explores the ramifications of these encounters, including how animal life both broadens and deepens the ontological significance of their respective philosophies. 410 0$aSUNY series in environmental philosophy and ethics. 606 $aPhilosophy of nature 606 $aNaturalness (Environmental sciences) 606 $aAnimals (Philosophy) 615 0$aPhilosophy of nature. 615 0$aNaturalness (Environmental sciences) 615 0$aAnimals (Philosophy) 676 $a113/.8 700 $aBuchanan$b Brett$f1975-$01446852 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964558303321 996 $aOnto-ethologies$94362136 997 $aUNINA
