Ockham: Philosophical Writings

“... Ein derart umfassendes, lexikonartiges Handbuch hat seiner Anlage und Intention nach wohl vor allem als philosophisches Nachschlagewerk für themenorientierte Recherchen und als wissenschaftliches Arbeits- und Hilfsmittel zur raschen Informationsakquise zu dienen.  Diesen Zweck erfüllt es zweifellos und kann somit jede universitäre und private Bibliothek des an bioethischen Fragen interessierten Lesers sinnvoll ergänzen. Es bietet ungeachtet des enormen Gesamtvolumens eine attraktive Mischung aus gut lesbaren, möglichst knapp gehaltenen und durch wissenschaftliche Expertise fundierten Einzelartikeln ...” (Alexander Merkl, in: Zeitschrift für Medizinische Ethik, Jg. 66, Heft 1, 2020)“... wird damit auch ersichtlich, dass ein Handbuch dieser Art natürlich niemals solche Analysen zu ersetzen vermag, die diskursiv und von mehreren Seiten einen ausgewählten bioethischen Gegenstand reflektierend durchdringen und analysieren. Dennoch gilt: Wer diesesHandbuch in seinem Bücherschrank stehen hat, kann sicher sein, dass er bei dringlichen Fragen, die das Thema der Bioethik berühren, schnell fündig und ausreichend informiert wird.” (Martin Hähnel, in: Philosophisches Jahrbuch, Jg. 125, Heft 1, 2018)

“A splash of cold water on your sizzling brain. Open it to steam-cool your senses and get back on track.”Neil Pasricha, author of the #1 international bestseller, New York Times bestseller and Globe and Mail bestseller The Book of Awesome
“Five minutes to spare? Pick up this book and read a chapter. It could well change your life!”--Mark Bowden coauthor of the Globe and Mail bestseller Truth and Lies“The bad news? We only have control over 40% of the factors that make us happy; the rest is beyond our influence. The good news? We—you, me and everyone—have control over 40% of the factors that make us happy. And that can make you happier. I’m not sure which combination of tactics here that will work best for you. For me it’s ‘Work Like da Vinci’, ‘Breathe Like a SEAL’ and definitely ‘What Would George Clooney Do?’. But take my advice: read this short, practical book, pick your tactic combo and go to work shaping a happier life.”--Michael Bungay Stanier author of The Wall Street Journal bestseller The Coaching Habit“Thorough, thoughtful, practical and wise. I love The 5-Minute Recharge, and plan to incorporate as many of these empowering, refreshing tactics into my own routine as I can!”--David L.

[This book] is for anyone who wishes to gain a better understanding of themselves and what they can do to change current behaviors to improve their ‘whole’ life in simple and often ‘fun’ ways.”--Karen Jackson senior advisor, Healthy Workplace Strategies, Excellence Canada“Reading this book felt like a supportive conversation with my wisest friends.”--Mary Ann Baynton program director, Great-West Life Centre for Mental Health in the Workplace“There is great wisdom not just in the whole book but on each and every page.

From the book reviews:“This text provides a nice exposition of the topological ideas used to extract information from signals and the practical details of signal processing. … Robinson’s intended audience is first year graduate students in both engineering and mathematics, and advanced undergraduates. … Throughout the text there are numerous examples and diagrams. Each chapter also ends with some open questions. These features make the book quite readable.” (Michele Intermont, MAA Reviews, February, 2015)“Three major goals for this book: firstly to show that topological invariants provide qualitative information about signals that is both relevant and practical, second to show that the signal processing concepts of filtering, detection, and noise correspond respectively to the concepts of sheaves, functoriality and sequences, and third to advocate for the use of sheaf theory in signal processing. … The target audience is practitioners so that the theoretical notions are covered with the practitioner in mind with motivations emphasized.” (Jonathan Hodgson, zbMATH, Vol. 1294, 2014)

From the reviews:“Book attempts to introduce the subject of inverse problems in a way that emphasizes practical methods for the solution of applied problems while also providing a general understanding of the subject. … of interest to instructors who want to teach an introductory course in inverse problems with limited mathematics prerequisites to an audience of scientists and engineers at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level. … book would also be accessible to graduate students in engineering and science for self study.” (Brian Borchers, MAA Reviews, October, 2013)“The authors of this textbook had a wide range of readers in mind. Their profiles encompass from honors undergraduate to graduate students and include mathematics or engineering researchers. … it describes all different steps of a typical problem in Computational Sciences and Engineering … . computer scientists as well as experts from the particular area of application are also among this book eventual readers.” (Carlos A. De Moura, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1264, 2013)

Selected by Choice magazine as an "Outstanding Academic Title" for 2014“This book is a very well-balanced, detailed analysis of the subject. … This is one of the best books on the subject; it belongs in all college libraries. Summing Up: Essential. All levels/libraries.” (K. L. Schick, Choice, Vol. 51 (7), March, 2014)“Are we alone in the universe? If not, then what might that mean? This fascinating volume offers a history of what Western cultures have thought about these questions … . a useful source for scientists, historians, anthropologists, and many other disciplines that concern themselves with these two large questions. … This volume nicely reveals the numerous ways in which anthropological knowledge and methods can help us think about and plan for managing the cultural impact of an eventual first contact.” (James Strick, Journal for the History of Astronomy, Vol. 47 (1), 2016)“In this book you can find out about the first philosophers, writers and scientists who were interested in the possibility of life on other planets and get to know the reasons why it was considered possible by them and what actually led to their depictions of life elsewhere in literature. … Overall this book makes for really interesting reading if you’re interested in extraterrestrial life and astrobiology.” (Kadri Tinn, AstroMadness.com, December, 2013)

From the reviews:“This book is a research exposition by Kreinovich and coworkers. … The main goal is to present algorithms for computation of statistical characteristics (like variance) but under interval and fuzzy uncertainty of the available data. In this book, fuzzy uncertainty is reduced to interval uncertainty by alpha-cutwise consideration of (convex) fuzzy uncertainty. … For increase of readability, mathematical proofs are presented always at the end of the chapters.” (Wolfgang Näther, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1238, 2012)
