Life-Span Maintenance of Knowledge


Free Download Harry P. Bahrick, "Life-Span Maintenance of Knowledge "
English | ISBN: 1848726503 | 2013 | 328 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This volume describes how well we maintain the knowledge we acquire throughout life. Research traditionally focuses on memory for events that are retained over short time periods that can be accommodated in experiments. This book, by contrast, uniquely describes the evolution of methods suitable for investigating memory of complex knowledge acquired over several years and retained during the entire life-span. The methods substitute statistical for experimental controls, and the investigations involve several hundred participants whose memory is tested up to 50 years after they acquired the knowledge in question.

Knowledge Systems of Societies for Adaptation and Mitigation of Impacts of Climate Change


Free Download Knowledge Systems of Societies for Adaptation and Mitigation of Impacts of Climate Change By Sunil Nautiyal, K. S. Rao, H. Kaechele (auth.), Sunil Nautiyal, K.S. Rao, Harald Kaechele, K.V. Raju, Ruediger Schaldach (eds.)

Climate change is broadly recognized as a key environmental issue affecting social and ecological systems worldwide. At the Cancun summit of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s 16th Conference, the parties jointly agreed that the vulnerable groups particularly in developing countries and whose livelihood is based on land use practices are the most common victims as in most cases their activities are shaped by the climate. Therefore, solving the climate dilemma through mitigation processes and scientific research is an ethical concern. Thus combining the knowledge systems of the societies and scientific evidences can greatly assist in the creation of coping mechanisms for sustainable development in a situation of changing climate. International Humboldt Kolleg focusing on "knowledge systems of societies and Climate Change" was organized at ISEC. This event was of unique importance, as the year 2011-12 was celebrated as the 60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between India and Germany with the motto "Germany and India – Infinite Opportunities." This volume is the outcome of the papers presented during the IHK 2011 at ISEC, India.

English | ASIN: B0D9WF8C8V | 2024 | 11 hours and 2 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 267 MB
Author: Lynne Kelly
Narrator: Jessica Douglas-Henry

Over 500,000 years ago, a single gene mutated. It spread over time, becoming critical in the journey transforming our earliest ancestors into fully modern humans, capable of navigating the entire planet and beyond. Then just a few thousand years ago, humans gradually outsourced knowledge to writing, and we displaced art and music from the heart of learning. This is the extraordinary story of the discovery of a supergene that makes us uniquely human. Dr. Lynne Kelly recounts how a widespread congenital disorder was the critical clue she and her collaborators needed to identify the gene that has long eluded researchers into human cognition.
