More than 25 years ago, the first major review of primate communication appeared (Altmann, 1967). Since then, information on the communicative abilities of primates increased rapidly, resulting, 15 years later, in the appearance of the first volume in which signaling systems were analyzed in a broader variety of primate groups within an evolutionary perspective (Snowdon, Brown and Petersen, 1982). Seven years later, the first volume dedicated solely to primate vocal communication appeared (Todt, Goedeking and Symmes, 1988) and another four years later a volume followed in which nonverbal vocal communication in non-human primates and human infants was compared (Papousek, Jurgens and Papousek, 1992). None of these volumes, however, provided information about current technical advances in the field of bioacoustics, especially in digital sound analyzing systems, which offer primatologists, anthropologists and linguists nowadays a variety of rapid methods for analyzing human speech and non-human primate vocalizations in a quantitative and comparative way. Choosing the right method is difficult if a synopsis of these tools is lacking. Furthermore, information was particularly lacking on the natural signaling systems of two important primate groups, the prosimians and the apes. Likewise, new and unexpected insights into the ontogeny and evolution of vocal communication were gained during the past few years by the use of highly sophisticated sound analysis and statistical techniques.

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building, evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of species and biodiversity. Beginning with the main theory behind ecological niches and species distributions, the book proceeds through all major steps of model building, from conceptualization and model training to model evaluation and spatio-temporal predictions. Extensive examples using R support graduate students and researchers in quantifying ecological niches and predicting species distributions with their own data, and help to address key environmental and conservation problems. Reflecting this highly active field of research, the book incorporates the latest developments from informatics and statistics, as well as using data from remote sources such as satellite imagery. A website at www.unil.ch/hsdm contains the codes and supporting material required to run the examples and teach courses.

Ausgehend von der Idee des Glasperlenspiels, die Hermann Hesse in seinem gleichnamigen Roman entwirft, haben die Autoren in diesem Band die Moglichkeiten und Grenzen eines solchen Spiels im Umgang mit Wissen ausgelotet. Sie zeigen neue Methoden fur das Wissensmanagement auf und verbinden dafur Erkenntnisse verschiedener Wissenschaftsgebiete wie Logik, System- und Erkenntnistheorie sowie Semiotik, Kognition und Kommunikation. Das begleitende Computerprogramm unterstutzt Leser beim Experimentieren mit Wissen."

Ernst Blochs fruhes Hauptwerk ist dem schwierigen Verhaltnis von offener materialistischer Philosophie und geschlossenem Systemansatz gewidmet und ringt dabei mit der idealistischen Metaphysik ebenso wie mit der Existenzphilosophie. Der vorliegende Band erschliesst Das Prinzip Hoffnung auf dem neuesten Stand der Debatte und macht seine ungebrochene Aktualitat fur ein breites akademisches Publikum zuganglich."

"Es gibt die zweifelhafte Geschich te eines Forschers, der genau der Millschen Methode der Ubereinstim mung folgte. Die Versuchspersonen waren berauscht von Scotch und Was ser, Whisky und Wasser und Gin und Wasser. Er gab dem Wasser die Schuld" (Ross und Smith, 1968, S. 344). In dieser Arbeit sollen Logik und Reichweite der experimen tellen Methode herausgearbeitet werden. Auf Vorteile des Experimentes, das als Forschungsplan mit den scharfsten Kontrollanforderungen als Paradigma fur wissenschaftliches Vorgehen dienen kann (aber nicht immer mussI), wie auch auf Probleme (vor allem die Schwierigkeit, experimentelle Er gebnisse zu verallgemeinern) wird ausfuhrlich eingegangen. Absicht dieser Arbeit ist es, eine Sensibilisierung gegen uber bestimmten Fragestellungen und den hierfur in Frage kommenden Forschungsplanen zu erreichen. Dies gilt beson ders fur die Inferenzmoglichkeiten der jeweiligen Designs. Daneben soll ein Wegweiser durch die weit verzweigte experi mentelle (Methoden-)Literatur gegeben werden. Fast vollstandig ausgeklammert wird die psychologische Test theorie. Ebenso wird auf rein psychologische Literatur wenig eingegangen. Etwa zwei Drittel der Arbeit beschaftigen sich mit Fragestellungen auf der "JIIikroebene," ein Drittel mit Fragen auf der "Makroebene" (wenn man diese Einteilung hier uberhaupt anwenden will). Inhaltliche Beispiele fur die ein zelnen Versuchsanordnungensind durchweg im Text erwahnt. An sonsten wird jeweils auf entsprechende Quellen verwiesen. 6 Zum Aufbau ist zu bemerken, dass die ersten 7 Kapitel sozu sagen vor die Klammer gehoren. Um Wiederholungen im weite renVerlauf der Darstellung zu vermeiden, wurden die jewei ligen uberlegungen in relativ eigenstandigen Kapiteln zu Anfang behandelt. Kap. 8."

The context within which Spinoza once developed his theory has clearly changed. However, most of Spinoza's general approach to conceptualizing the world can still be utilized, albeit with a slight change in terminology. Spinoza's approach has many advantages as compared with the approaches of his contemporaries, such as Descartes and Leibniz. Conceptualization today also requires taking fields such as physics and mathematics explicitly into account. This is very much in the sense of Spinoza's original intention that led him to speak in his main work of an ethics to be proved in geometrical order (which actually means: according to mathematical methods). This book is about a mathematical machinery which, is based on a strict logical structure, as well as on a not so strict hermeneutic structure - and is even representable in terms of algebraic expressions of a considerable symbolic quality. Eventually, this may be capable of shedding a completely new light on the ancient problem of the relationship between human beings and the rest of nature. As the book shows, the theory of evolutionary systems is a prime candidate for a conceptualization that might be useful in order to concretely develop this new insight.
