Il presente volume è il primo testo mai pubblicato in Italia che tratta degli orologi solari, dei quadranti orari e dei metodi per la misura del tempo che si svilupparono nella civiltà di religione islamica a partire dall’IX secolo della nostra era.Per inquadrare lo sviluppo e le caratteristiche di questi strumenti nel testo sono stati presi in esame sia gli argomenti ad essi collegati, come la civiltà, la religione e le preghiere dell’Islam, il calendario e il conteggio dei giorni, la storia della matematica e gli antichi metodi per il progetto degli strumenti astronomici, sia tutte le tematiche che nel mondo Islamico erano, e sono tuttora, legate alle ombre, alle stagioni e al trascorrere del tempo.Il merito delle scoperte e delle rivelazioni di questo antico sapere và completamente attribuito ai pochi studiosi traduttori e interpreti dei manoscritti di astronomia in lingua araba che hanno contribuito negli ultimi 30-40 anni a diffondere queste nuove conoscenze.Questo volume vorrebbe essere, oltre a un ovvio un riconoscimento a questi scienziati, una specie di 'traduzione' dei loro lavori per gli appassionati di orologi solari e per i lettori curiosi delle scienze antiche.

  • Water from a Transdisciplinary Perspective
    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...

    Aaron Ellison / Aaron M. Ellison / Nicholas J. Gotelli
    A groundbreaking approach to scale and scaling in ecological theory and practiceScale is one of the most important concepts in ecology, yet researchers often find it difficult to find ecological systems that lend themselves to its study. Scaling in Ecology with a Model System synthesizes nearly three decades of research on the ecology of Sarracenia purpurea-the northern pitcher...

  • Physiological Ecology
    Carlos Martínez del Rio / William H. Karasov
    Unlocking the puzzle of how animals behave and how they interact with their environments is impossible without understanding the physiological processes that determine their use of food resources. But long overdue is a user-friendly introduction to the subject that systematically bridges the gap between physiology and ecology. Ecologists--for whom such knowledge can help clarif...
  • Critical Transitions in Nature and Society
    Marten Scheffer
    How do we explain the remarkably abrupt changes that sometimes occur in nature and society--and can we predict why and when they happen? This book offers a comprehensive introduction to critical transitions in complex systems--the radical changes that happen at tipping points when thresholds are passed. Marten Scheffer accessibly describes the dynamical systems theory behind cr...
