The Battle-Cruiser HMS Renown 1916-48

Pen & Sword Maritime, 2008. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 246. This is the story of the Royal Navy battle-cruiser H.M.S. Renown, a famous ship with a long and distinguished operational career. Originally built for the First World War she subsequently served in the post-war fleet and took royalty around the world. Modernized just in time for World War Two, she re-joined the fleet in September, 1939 and for the first two years of the war her speed and heavy gun armament made her one of the most important ships of the fleet. She escorted the famous carrier Ark Royal for most of her illustrious career as flagship of Force 'H' in the Mediterranean and took part in many stirring battles and convoy actions. Later she covered Russian convoys in the Arctic before going out to the Indian Ocean where she took part in attacks on Japanese targets in the Indian Ocean. Her final duties included the meeting of King George VI and President Truman in 1945. A host of fresh detail coupled with eyewitness memoirs from former crew members make this an outstanding warship biography. ISBN: 9781844157457. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Metazoa. Het dierenrijk en de evolutie van het bewustzijn

Spectrum. Paperback. Pp: 336. Een duik in het ontstaan van het bewustzijn van dieren 'Leerzaam, spannend en vermakelijk.' ★★★★★ de Volkskrant 'Door verslag te doen van zijn persoonlijke observaties in de diepzee vloeien filosofie- en biologieles overtuigend in elkaar over.' ★★★★★ Trouw Hoe ontstond uit de materie van het lichaam een bewustzijn? Of het nu gaat om haaien, koralen, octopussen, garnalen, vissen of de mens: allemaal kunnen ze (in verschillende mate) denken. Maar hoe is dat ontstaan? In dit boek duikt wetenschapsfilosoof en diepzeeduiker Peter Godfrey-Smith letterlijk en figuurlijk in de evolutie van het bewustzijn. Waar Godfrey-Smith zijn vorige boek Buitengewoon bewustzijn specifiek keek naar het bewustzijn van de octopus, kijkt hij nu naar dieren in het algemeen. Al voert zijn voorliefde voor duiken ons ook ditmaal herhaaldelijk de diepte in. Levendige beschrijvingen van ontmoetingen met dieren worden afgewisseld door de laatste inzichten uit de biologie en technologie, evenals filosofische reflecties. Het resultaat is een rijk en levendig verhaal dat het mysterie van het dierenbewustzijn verklaart op heel toegankelijke en meeslepende wijze. Over Buitengewoon bewustzijn:'Fascinerend boek.' �"“ Robbert Dijkgraaf 'Een van de grootste puzzels van organisch leven is hoe en waarom bepaalde diersoorten zelfbewust worden. Peter Godfrey-Smith gebruikt de octopus als portaal naar nietmenselijk bewustzijn, en dat doet hij vol gevoel en kennis uit de eerste hand.' �"“ Frans de Waal 'Briljant. De schoonheid van Godfrey-Smiths boek zit in zijn heldere schrijfstijl. Hij bewijst dat deze vreemde, beeldschone wezens meer op ons lijken dan we bereid zijn toe te geven.' �"“ The Guardian. ISBN: 9789000346202. Cond./Kwaliteit: Ramsj.

Other Minds

HarperCollins Publishers Limited, 2018. Paperback. Pp: 255. 'Brilliant' GuardianWaterstones Non-Fiction Book of the Month (March) SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE What if intelligent life on Earth evolved not once, but twice? The octopus is the closest we will come to meeting an intelligent alien. What can we learn from the encounter? In Other Minds, Peter Godfrey-Smith, a distinguished philosopher of science and a skilled scuba diver, tells a bold new story of how nature became aware of itself - a story that largely occurs in the ocean, where animals first appeared. Tracking the mind's fitful development from unruly clumps of seaborne cells to the first evolved nervous systems in ancient relatives of jellyfish, he explores the incredible evolutionary journey of the cephalopods, which began as inconspicuous molluscs who would later abandon their shells to rise above the ocean floor, searching for prey and acquiring the greater intelligence needed to do so - a journey completely independent from the route that mammals and birds would later take. But what kind of intelligence do cephalopods possess? How did the octopus, a solitary creature with little social life, become so smart? What is it like to have eight tentacles that are so packed with neurons that they virtually 'think for themselves'? By tracing the question of inner life back to its roots and comparing human beings with our most remarkable animal relatives, Godfrey-Smith casts crucial new light on the octopus mind - and on our own.
