Emotion and Imagination (Paperback): A. Morton Emotion and Imagination (Paperback)
A. Morton
R516 Discovery Miles 5 160 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Recent years have seen an enormous amount of philosophical research into the emotions and the imagination, but as yet little work has been done to connect the two. In his engaging and highly original new book, Adam Morton shows that all emotions require some form of imagination and goes on to fully explore the link between these two important concepts both within philosophy and in everyday life. We may take it for granted that complex emotions, such as hope and resentment, require a rich thinking and an engagement with the imagination, but Morton shows how more basic and responsive emotions such as fear and anger also require us to take account of possibilities and opportunities beyond the immediate situation. Interweaving a powerful tapestry of subtle argument with vivid detail, the book highlights that many emotions, more than we tend to suppose, require us to imagine a situation from a particular point of view and that this in itself can be the source of further emotional feeling. Morton goes on to demonstrate the important role that emotions play in our moral lives, throwing light on emotions such as self-respect, disapproval, and remorse, and the price we pay for having them. He explores the intricate nature of moral emotions and the challenges we face when integrating our thinking on morality and the emotions. This compelling and thought-provoking new book challenges many assumptions about the nature of emotion and imagination and will appeal to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the role that these concepts play in our lives. The book also has far reaching implications that will spark debate amongst scholars and students for some time to come.

This computational aerodynamics (CA) textbook is written at the undergraduate level, based on years of teaching focused on developing the engineering skills required to become an intelligent user of aerodynamic codes, unlike most available books which focus on learning how to write codes. This is done by taking advantage of CA codes that are now freely available and doing projects to learn the basic numerical and aerodynamic concepts require. The authors believe that new and vibrant ways to interact with CA are important in order to improve understanding of aerodynamics. This book includes a number of unique features to make studying Computational Aerodynamics more enjoyable. These include: The computer programs used in the book's projects are all open source and accessible to students and practicing engineers alike on the book web site, www.cambridge.org/cummings CA Concept Boxes appear throughout the book to make material more relevant and to provide interesting asides from the material at hand Flow Visualization Boxes are used throughout the book to give readers the opportunity to see fluid dynamic flows first hand Profiles of both experienced and beginning practitioners of CA are included throughout to give a more personal dimension to the practice of numerical simulations of aerodynamics Best Practices summaries are included at the end of most chapters to provide real world guidelines for how CA is typically used The website includes access to images, movies, programs, CA codes, additional material, and links to a variety of resources vital to the discussions contained within the book (www.cambridge.org/cummings)"

Should We Colonize Other Planets? (Paperback): A. Morton Should We Colonize Other Planets? (Paperback)
A. Morton
R305 R194 Discovery Miles 1 940 Save R111 (36%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

As humans continue to degrade and destroy our planet's resources, leading to predictions of total ecological collapse, some (such as the entrepreneur Elon Musk) now suggest that a human colony elsewhere may be our species' best hope for survival. Adam Morton examines extra-terrestrial colonization plans with a critical eye. He makes a strong case for colonization - just not by human beings. Humans live relatively short lives and, to survive, require large amounts of food and water, very specific climatic conditions and an oxygen-rich atmosphere. We can create colonists that have none of these shortcomings. Reflecting compassionately on the nature of existence, Morton argues that we should treat the end of the human race in the same way that we treat our own deaths: as something sad but ultimately inevitable. The earth will perish one day, and, in the end, we should be concerned more with securing the future of intelligent beings than with the preservation of our species, which represents but a nanosecond in the history of our solar system.
