scribe memoryーhow it works and why it sometimes doesn’t; how it can be tricked, trained, or improved; and what changes with time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a manner as engaging as it is informative, Fergus Craik and Larry Jacoby explain the strengths and weaknesses of memory. They trace evolving ideas about memory’s function and present a down-to-earth account of modern views. Citing the latest research, they outline the processes for acquiring and retrieving memories and explore the distinction between conscious and unconscious processes. With insights into the workings of the brain, Craik and Jacoby also provide a succinct account of feats and failures of memory, emotion and false memories, and the effects of aging. Their book draws a clear picture, at once broad and concise, of current and classical views of memory, that most essential and often mysterious feature of human life.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

pearances in popular culture: a glimpse of a supernova in a painting provides Sherlock Holmes with a crucial clue, for example. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, astrophysicist Or Graur offers a concise and accessible introduction to these awe-inspiring astronomical phenomena.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Graur explains that a deep observational understanding of supernovaeーwhy and how they shine and how their brightness changes over timeーallows us to use them as tools for experiments in astrophysics and physics. A certain type of supernova, for example, brightens and fades in such a predictable manner that we can measure the distances to their host galaxies. We owe our existence to supernovaeーthey give us iron for our blood and calcium for our bones. But supernovae may also have caused a mass extinction event on Earth 2.6 million years ago.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Graur shows how observations of supernovae played a role in the transformation of astronomy from astrology to astrophysics; surveys the tools used to study supernovae today; and describes the lives and deaths of stars and the supernova remnants, neutron stars, and black holes they leave behind. Illustrations in both color and black and white, many from Graur’s own Hubble Space Telescope data, make this account of supernovae particularly vivid.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

and physical structure of the Milky Way; how galaxies were used to discover and study the mysterious phenomena of dark matter and dark energy; and how scientists think galaxies formed shortly after the Big Bang and evolved to their present forms.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Tracing galaxy studies back thousands of years ago to their beginnings, Graur describes their origin in Ptolemy’s book ＜em＞Almagest＜/em＞, which was written in the first century CE. ＜em＞Almagest＜/em＞ catalogued hundreds of stars and a few hazy cloud-like objects, one of which was the Andromeda galaxy. The reader will also encounter in this book well-known figures such as William Herschel, who, along with his sister Caroline (the first professional female astronomer), discovered hundreds of galaxies and lay the foundations for modern galaxy studies, as well as lesser-known astronomers, including tenth-century Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi, twentieth-century American astronomer Vesto Melvin Slipher, and others. ＜em＞Galaxies＜/em＞ concludes by showing readers how they can get involved in galaxy studies themselves and do their part to fight the light pollution that today obscures the Milky Way and all but the brightest of stars.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Providing a brief but broad overview of galaxies for the nonspecialist, ＜em＞Galaxies＜/em＞ shows just how modern science is done and what the future holds for this specific field of astronomy.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

al physics, computational biology, computational sociology. More recently, “computational thinking” has become part of the K?12 curriculum. But what ＜em＞is＜/em＞ computational thinking? This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible overviewーtracing a genealogy that begins centuries before digital computers and portraying computational thinking as the pioneers of computing have described it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The authors explain that computational thinking (CT) is not a set of concepts for programming; it is a way of thinking that is honed through practice: the mental skills for designing computations to do jobs for us, and for explaining and interpreting the world as a complex of information processes. Mathematically trained experts (known as “computers”) who performed complex calculations as teams engaged in CT long before electronic computers. In each chapter, the author identify different dimensions of today's highly developed CT:＜/p＞ ＜p＞? ＜strong＞Computational Methods＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ? ＜strong＞Computing Machines＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ? ＜strong＞Computing Education＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ? ＜strong＞Software Engineering＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ? ＜strong＞Computational Science＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ? ＜strong＞Design＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Along the way, they debunk inflated claims for CT and computation while making clear the power of CT in all its complexity and multiplicity.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

me singularity theorists predict that if the field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to develop at its current dizzying rate, the singularity could come about in the middle of the present century. Murray Shanahan offers an introduction to the idea of the singularity and considers the ramifications of such a potentially seismic event.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Shanahan’s aim is not to make predictions but rather to investigate a range of scenarios. Whether we believe that singularity is near or far, likely or impossible, apocalypse or utopia, the very idea raises crucial philosophical and pragmatic questions, forcing us to think seriously about what we want as a species.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Shanahan describes technological advances in AI, both biologically inspired and engineered from scratch. Once human-level AIーtheoretically possible, but difficult to accomplishーhas been achieved, he explains, the transition to superintelligent AI could be very rapid. Shanahan considers what the existence of superintelligent machines could mean for such matters as personhood, responsibility, rights, and identity. Some superhuman AI agents might be created to benefit humankind; some might go rogue. (Is Siri the template, or HAL?) The singularity presents both an existential threat to humanity and an existential opportunity for humanity to transcend its limitations. Shanahan makes it clear that we need to imagine both possibilities if we want to bring about the better outcome.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

naean Greece to Ming China, Chew shows that the processes of population growth, intensive resource accumulation, and urbanization in ancient and modern societies almost universally bring on ecological disaster, which often contributes to the decline and fall of that society. He then turns his eye to the development of the modern European world-system and its impact on the environment. Challenging us to change these long-term trends, Chew also traces the existence of environmental conservation ideas and movements over the span of 5,000 years. Can we do it? Look at Chew's evidence of the past five millennia and decide. Ideal for courses in environmental history, anthropology, and sociology, and world-systems theory.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

ealizations and other applications have occurred with changes in the technology and use of new fabrication processes, such as the recent advances in RF MEMS and ferroelectric films for tunable filters; the use of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrates for multilayer circuits, as well as the new filters for dual-band, multi-band and ultra wideband (UWB) applications.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although the microstrip filter remains as the main transmission line medium for these new developments, there has been a new trend of using combined planar transmission line structures such as co-planar waveguide (CPW) and slotted ground structures for novel physical implementations beyond the single layer in order to achieve filter miniaturization and better performance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Also, over the years, practitioners have suggested topics that should be added for completeness, or deleted in some cases, as they were not very useful in practice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In view of the above, the authors are proposing a revised version of the “Microstrip Filters for RF/Microwave Applications” text and a slightly changed book title of “Planar Filters for RF/Microwave Applications” to reflect the aforementioned trends in the revised book.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
