The story of energy as a part of modernity begins in the early 19th Century with hard work, experiments and the establishment of local energy systems. The natural conditions made certain by the alternation between light and dark, between warmth and cold, was gradually suspended by the introduction of electric lighting and heating into the home. The welfare state has significantly hastened this development 606 $aPower resources$xSocial aspects$vCongresses 606 $aPower resources$xEnvironmental aspects$vCongresses 606 $aPower resources$xHistory$vCongresses 615 0$aPower resources$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPower resources$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aPower resources$xHistory 676 $a333.79 701 $aRudiger$b Mogens$01564293 712 02$aCentre for Energy and Society. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780621403321 996 $aThe culture of energy$93833281 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03512nam 22005775 450 001 9911034569803321 005 20251001130745.0 010 $a3-032-05644-6 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-032-05644-3 035 $a(CKB)41537405300041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-032-05644-3 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32334631 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32334631 035 $a(EXLCZ)9941537405300041 100 $a20251001d2026 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 13$aAn Evolutionary Story of Agency $eHow Life Evolved to Act on its Own /$fby Álvaro Moreno, Juli Peretó 205 $a1st ed. 2026. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Springer,$d2026. 215 $a1 online resource (IX, 108 p. 14 illus., 11 illus. in color.) 225 1 $aFoundations for Interdisciplinarity in the Life Sciences: Concise Monographs,$x3005-124X 311 08$a3-032-05643-8 327 $a1 Introduction -- 2 Minimal Agents and the Emergence of Life -- 3 A Big Bang of Agency: The Prokaryotic Way of Life -- 4 Eukaryotic Agency: Looking for the Path of Agency Complexification -- 5 Multicellular Agents: the Challenge of Combining Body Organization and Behavior -- 6 Metazoans: An Explosion of Agency -- 7 Epilogue. 330 $aThis open access book exposes the role of "agency" in the history of life. Agency is understood as the capacity of an organism to act, make decisions, and exercise control over its actions in order to achieve goals or to navigate and interact with its environment. The question of agency has become a hot and controversial topic in Biology and Philosophy of the Natural Sciences. This volume studies said topic through its historical expressions, investigating how and why it has appeared, and what was its selective advantage in the past, assuming a continuity in how it has evolved in different life forms. By also explaining how and why agency has evolved and become more complex in some branches of the tree of life, the authors show how life has made its way on our planet with forms of agency as diverse as those shown by bacteria, plants or animals, which are the most sophisticated and complex agents. The book is of great interest to a broad audience, whether philosophically or biologically inclined, interested in understanding fundamental aspects of how life works and in seeking explanations for why life has been so successful on planet Earth. 410 0$aFoundations for Interdisciplinarity in the Life Sciences: Concise Monographs,$x3005-124X 606 $aBiology$xPhilosophy 606 $aEvolutionary developmental biology 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aPhilosophy of Biology 606 $aEvolutionary Developmental Biology 606 $aPhilosophy of Science 615 0$aBiology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEvolutionary developmental biology. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Biology. 615 24$aEvolutionary Developmental Biology. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 676 $a570.1 700 $aMoreno Rivas$b A?lvaro$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01890191 702 $aPeretó$b Juli$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911034569803321 996 $aAn Evolutionary Story of Agency$94531867 997 $aUNINA
