Kant and Animals

From the reviews of the first edition:

"Crystal nucleation and crystal growth are often treated in different ways in the specialized literature, depending on whether the dominant discipline is physics or chemical physics. This book by B. Mutaftschiev (Paris VI and VII) is a welcome attempt to unify both these approaches. … The main appeal of this book is certainly the broad range of topics covered, many of which never appeared in book-form before. … All by all, this book provides a useful addition to the existing literature on these difficult topics." (Marc Baus, Physicalia, Vol. 38 (4), 2002)
"This is a book for readers who wish to have a theoretical understanding of the factors and phenomena that influence and determine the growth of crystals at the atomic or molecular level. … Will this book aid, in a practical way, the ‘crystal growth industry’ to achieve purer, better quality, larger, etc., crystal specimens? The answer is, probably yes ... . Finally, it is a specific, reference book … for the well informed, non-specialist physicist or chemist." (Brian W. Lucas, The Physicist, Vol. 38 (6), 2001)
"This book seeks to bring together the approaches from the several disciplines that focus on the increasingly important and studied topics of crystal growth and nucleation, using statistical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics as unifying treatments. An understanding of related topics such as surface absorption and wetting is also provided. The presentation is rigorous and clear, and the text is necessary reading for solid state chemists, chemical engineers and physicists working in this area." (ASLIB Book Guide, Vol. 66 (10), 2001)

One of The Washington Post's 10 Best Books of 2017"Sapolsky&#160;has created an immensely readable, often hilarious romp through the multiple worlds of psychology, primatology, sociology and neurobiology to explain why we behave the way we do. It is hands-down one of the best books I&rsquo;ve read in years. I loved it." &mdash;Dina Temple-Raston, The&#160;Washington Post&ldquo;It&rsquo;s no exaggeration to say that&#160;Behave&#160;is one of the best nonfiction books I&rsquo;ve ever read.&rdquo; &mdash;David P. Barash,&#160;The Wall Street Journal&ldquo;A quirky, opinionated and magisterial synthesis of psychology and neurobiology that integrates this complex subject more accessibly and completely than ever . . .&#160; a wild and mind-opening ride into a better understanding of just where our behavior comes from. Darwin would have been thrilled.&rdquo; &mdash;Richard Wrangham,&#160;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;[Sapolskly&rsquo;s] new book is his magnum opus, but is also strikingly different from his earlier work, veering sharply toward hard science as it looms myriad strands of his ruminations on human behavior. The familiar, enchanting Sapolsky tropes are here&mdash;his warm, witty voice, a sleight of hand that unfolds the mysteries of cognition&mdash;but Behave keeps the bar high . . . . A stunning achievement and an invaluable addition to the canon of scientific literature, certain to kindle debate for years to come.&rdquo; &mdash;Minneapolis Star Tribune&ldquo;A masterly cross-disciplinary scientific study of human behavior: What in our glands, our genes, our childhoods explains our species&rsquo; capacity for both altruism and brutality? This comprehensive and friendly survey of a &lsquo;big sprawling mess of a subject&rsquo; is leavened by an impressive data-to-silly joke ratio. It has my vote for science book of the year.&rdquo; &mdash;Parul Sehgal, New York Times&ldquo;A monumental contribution to the scientific understanding of human behavior that belongs on every bookshelf and many a course syllabus . . . It is a magnificent culmination of integrative thinking, on par with similar authoritative works, such as Jared Diamond&rsquo;s Guns, Germs, and Steel and Steven Pinker&rsquo;s The Better Angels of Our Nature.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael Shermer,&#160;American Scholar &ldquo;Behave&#160;is the best detective story ever written, and the most important. If you've ever wondered why someone did something&mdash;good or bad, vicious or generous&mdash;you need to read this book. If you think you already know why people behave as they do, you need to read this book. In other words, everybody needs to read it. It should be available on prescription (side effects: chronic laughter; highly addictive). They should put&#160;Behave&#160;in hotel rooms instead of the Bible: the world would be a much better, wiser place&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Kate Fox, author of Watching the English&ldquo;Magisterial . . . This extraordinary survey of the science of human behaviour takes the reader on an epic journey . . . Sapolsky makes the book consistently entertaining, with an infectious excitement at the puzzles he explains . . . a miraculous synthesis of scholarly domains.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Steven Poole,&#160;The&#160;GuardianRarely does an almost 800-page book keep my attention from start to finish, but&#160;&ldquo;If anyone can save evolutionary biology from TED talkers and pop-science fabulists, it might be Sapolsky . . . .&#160;Behave ranges at great length from moral philosophy to social science, genetics to Sapolsky&rsquo;s home turf of neurons and hormones&mdash;but all of it is aimed squarely at the question of why humans are so awful to each other, and whether the condition is terminal.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Vulture&ldquo;Robert Sapolsky's students must love him. In&#160;Behave, the primatologist, neurologist and science communicator writes like a teacher: witty, erudite and passionate about clear communication. You feel like a lucky auditor in a fast-paced undergraduate course, where the implications of fascinating scientific findings are illuminated through topical stories and pop-culture allusions.&rdquo; &mdash;Nature&#160;&ldquo;Sapolsky&rsquo;s book shows in exquisite detail how culture, context and learning shape everything our genes, brains, hormones and neurons do.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Times Literary Supplement&ldquo;Behave&#160;is like a great historical novel, with excellent prose and encyclopedic detail. It traces the most important story that can ever be told.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Edward O. Wilson&ldquo;Truly all-encompassing . . . detailed, accessible, fascinating.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Telegraph&ldquo;A wide-ranging, learned survey of all the making-us-tick things that, for better or worse, define us as human . . . . An exemplary work of popular science, challenging but accessible.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews, starred&ldquo;[Sapolsky] weaves science storytelling with humor . . . . [His] big ideas deserve a wide audience and will likely shape thinking for some time.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&ldquo;[Sapolsky] does an excellent job of bringing together the expansive literature of thousands of fascinating studies with clarity and humor . . . . A tour-de-force.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Library Journal (starred review)&#160;&ldquo;Sapolsky finds not the high moral drama of the soul choosing good or evil but rather down-to-earth biology . . . a remarkably encyclopedic survey of the sciences illuminating human conduct.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist(starred review) &ldquo;Read Robert Sapolsky&rsquo;s marvelous book&#160;Behave&#160;and you&rsquo;ll never again be surprised by the range and depth of our own bad behavior.&#160;We all carry the potential for unconscious biases, to be damaged by our childhoods and map that damage onto our own loved ones, and to form the tribal &lsquo;Us&rsquo; groups that treat outsiders as lesser &lsquo;Thems.&rsquo;&#160;But to read this book is also, marvelously, to be given the hope that we have much more control of those behaviors than we think. And&#160;Behave&#160;gives us more than hope&mdash;it gives us the knowledge of how to act on that aspiration, to manifest more of our best selves and less of our worst, individually and as a society. That&rsquo;s very good news indeed.&rdquo;&#160;&#160;&mdash;Charles Duhigg, author of&#160;The Power of Habit&#160;and&#160;Smarter Faster Better"As wide as it is deep, this book is colorful, electrifying, and moving. Sapolsky leverages his deep expertise to ask the most fundamental questions about being human&mdash;from acts of hate to acts of love, from our compulsion to&#160;dehumanize&#160;to our capacity to rehumanize." &mdash;David Eagleman, PhD, neuroscientist at Stanford, author, presenter of PBS's The Brain &#160; "Behave is a beautifully crafted work about the biology of morality. Sapolsky makes multiple passes at the target, using different time scales and systems. He shows you how&#160;all the perspectives and systems&#160;connect, and he&#160;makes you laugh and marvel&#160;along the way. Sapolsky is not just a leading primatologist; he&rsquo;s a great writer and a superb guide to human nature."&#160;&mdash;Jonathan Haidt, New York University, author of The Righteous Mind &ldquo;This is a miraculous book, by far the best treatment of violence, aggression, and competition ever.&#160; It ranges from how neurons and hormones interact, how emotions are an essential part of decision making, why adolescents are more likely to be violent than adults, why genes influence cultures and vice-versa, and the ins and outs of &ldquo;we versus them,&rdquo; all the way to &ldquo;live and let live&rdquo; truces in World War I and the My Lai massacre. Its depth and breadth of scholarship are amazing, building on Sapolsky&rsquo;s own research and his vast knowledge of the neurobiology, genetic, and behavioral literature. For instance, Behave includes fair evaluations of complex debates (like over sociobiology) that I was involved in, and tackles controversial questions such as whether our hunter-gatherer ancestors warred on each other. He even takes on &ldquo;free will&rdquo; with a clarity usually absent from the writings of philosophers on the subject. All this is done brilliantly with a light and funny touch that shows why Sapolsky is recognized as one of the greatest teachers in science today.&rdquo; &mdash;Paul R. Ehrlich, author of Human Natures

"This book is vintage Brant Pitre: clear, persuasive, readable, and above all, inspiring. It causes us not only to know more about the Mother of God, but also to love her more."&#160;&ndash;Robert Barron, Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles and author of&#160;To Light a Fire on the Earth"Mystified by the way Catholics speak about Mary? Join the club! But if you &ndash; like me &ndash; have longed for a book that makes a good biblical case for Catholic teachings relating to Mary, then look no further! Brant Pitre has produced an absolutely riveting, page-turning read, surely the most thought-provoking and stimulating I have ever read on the subject."&#160;&ndash;Chris Tilling, Graduate Tutor and Senior Lecturer in New Testament Studies &#160;"I did not think a single book could be written about Mary that would excite and unite Catholic and Protestant readers - scholars, clergy and laity alike. What Pitre does with the Bible and Marian typology is clear and compelling. A joy to read, this is the best biblical study of Mary I have ever read. A true masterpiece."&#160;&ndash;Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb's Supper and The Fourth Cup &#160;"Combining detailed biblical study with his own personal reflections, Pitre explains how Mary the mother of Jesus came to be regarded as a new Eve, a new Rachel, the ark of the new covenant, heavenly queen, perpetual virgin, and mother of God. The volume is an accessible, indeed essential, guide to Roman Catholic teaching, and it should interest anyone seeking deeper understanding of Mary&rsquo;s role."&#160;&ndash;Amy-Jill Levine,&#160;University Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies, Vanderbilt Divinity School and College of Arts and Science"Brant Pitre takes important theological truths and makes them not only interesting, but exciting. This book will revolutionize your understanding of the most important woman in history." &ndash;Jennifer Fulwiler, author of One Beautiful Dream &#160;"Combining rich Biblical scholarship with an engaging, easy-to-read style, this highly accessible book offers a fresh look at Mary in the Bible. Pitre clearly and convincingly shows that the Bible reveals much more about Jesus&rsquo; mother than is commonly appreciated today. A must read for every Christian who takes the Bible seriously and is open to what God&rsquo;s Word has to say about Mary.&rdquo; &ndash;Edward Sri, author of Walking with Mary  &#160; "It simply is not possible to read the Christian Scriptures without reading the New Testament in light of the Old.&#160; With his rare combination of historical-critical mastery and theological erudition, Pitre illumines the whole Scriptures in pondering the figure of Mary."&#160;&ndash;Matthew Levering, James N. and Mary D. Perry Jr. Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary &#160;"'Mary is not a&hellip;dogma, but a person.' This climax, towards which Brant Pitre masterfully leads the reader, is exemplified throughout his book Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary, a study which is both careful in argument and breathtaking in scope. Pitre&rsquo;s premise is that we must look to the Old Testament as well as the New Testament to find the Mother of God. In doing this, we follow the Church Fathers (and also the apostles!), who used typology to clarify both the person of Jesus and his mother. Readers will delight in a thorough but accessible presentation that judiciously incorporates Scripture, ancient writings, and contemporary scholars from Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and even Jewish contexts. Especially intriguing is his convincing construal of holy Mary as a 'new Rachel' who intercedes for her children. Here is a winsome book, whose Catholic perspective will engage both Catholic and Orthodox who honor the Theotokos, and Protestants who have questions to ask about her."&#160;&ndash;Edith Mary Humphrey, William F. Orr Professor of New Testament, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary &#160;"I&rsquo;ve spent a long time reading books, loving books, collecting books...and I&rsquo;ve spent the last four decades evangelizing with books. So I know that this one is destined to become what the sisters call a 'bread and butter' title. That&rsquo;s convent talk for basic, necessary, life-giving, something you never get tired of. In other words, not a shelf-sitter or dust collector. This one&rsquo;s a gem and a keeper. It is absolutely clear, convincing, heartfelt mariology...and it&rsquo;s also something you could easily give to your bishop or your hairdresser. Brant&rsquo;s books have always opened doors for me, into familiar places and wonderfully unexplored places. But this one? This one is a golden door. Because he speaks of someone he loves, and you can feel it. So whether this is your first introduction to the beautiful Mother of God or whether it is a deepening of a love story already begun, this book deserves to be read and SHARED!"&#160;&ndash;Sr. Julia Darrenkamp, F.S.P., Pauline Books and Media
