Pavlov’s Dogs and Schrödinger’s Cat, Scenes from the Living Laboratory

Pavlov’s Dogs and Schrödinger’s Cat, Scenes from the Living Laboratory

Pavlov’s Dogs And Schrödinger’s Cat, Scenes From The Living Laboratory Pdf Download

By Rom Harré

Pavlov’s Dogs and Schrödinger’s Cat, Scenes from the Living Laboratory Book. From the sheep, dog, and cockerel that were sent aloft in Montgolfier’s balloon to test the air over Paris, to the famous clone Dolly the Sheep and the Darwinian finches of the Galapagos, Pavlov’s Dogs and Schrödinger’s Cat offers a fascinating and enlightening look at the use of plants and animals–including humans–in scientific experiments. Rom Harré here provides a fresh and fascinating perspective on research, setting aside moral reflection to simply examine the history of how and why living creatures have been used for the purposes of discovery. Ranging over five centuries, the book uncovers many extraordinary stories, including tales of the people involved, to many curious incidents and episodes, and the occasional scientific fraud. From Gregor Mendel’s use of pea plants to explore heredity, to Barry Marshall’s use of himself as the experimental animal in his helicobacter experiments (he survived) and even the use of an imaginary cat in Schrödinger’s famous thought experiment, the reader discovers here a perspective on scientific work he or she has never encountered before–the concept of the “living laboratory.”

Animal Personality: The Science Behind Individual Variation

Animal Personality: The Science Behind Individual Variation Pdf Download

By Jill R. D. MacKay

From `scaredy cats’ to `moody cows’, we often give animals personality when we talk about them, but does this have any basis in scientific fact? How can we tell if a cat is feeling fear, and how does a grumpy cow behave? What would make an animal an individual? And what makes them unique?

Only recently has science confirmed that animals have distinct individual personalities, shown through behavioural research. Animal Personality introduces the fundamentals of personality science and research, describing the history of behavioural testing, and then drills into scientific measurement, recording and statistical analysis of individual personalities in animals.

The author shows how the implications of animals having personalities affects how we treat and care for pets, farm animals and wildlife. Interesting questions are posed, such as what is the evolutionary reason for traits like fearfulness, aggression and sociability? Have we anthropomorphised animals’ needs for social interactions? What are the neurological and genetic bases of personality? How has personality affected the domestication of wild species? And it questions long held beliefs about animal traits such as dominance theory.

Animal Personality provides a fascinating and informed insight into the science of personality and its application to non-human animals. Ethologists and animal owners will find this an illuminating and thought-provoking resource.
