Marketing Psychology The Paradigm in the Wings


Free Download Marketing Psychology: The Paradigm in the Wings By Gordon Foxall
1997 | 220 Pages | ISBN: 0333662776 | PDF | 14 MB
This text portays the behaviour of consumers as influenced by its environmental consequences and extends this analysis to marketing management by proposing a novel understanding of the marketing firm. The book undertakes a behaviour analysis of consumer choice, based on a critical extension of radical behaviourism to the interpretation of human economic behaviour. This suggests that consumer behaviour is explained by locating it among the environmental contingencies that shape and maintain it. The result is a view of consumer choice and marketing response which transcends current understanding with profound managerial and policy implications.

Genes in Development Re-reading the Molecular Paradigm


Free Download Eva M. Neumann-Held, Christoph Rehmann-Sutter, "Genes in Development: Re-reading the Molecular Paradigm"
English | 2006 | pages: 371 | ISBN: 0822336677, 0822336561 | PDF | 1,9 mb
In light of scientific advances such as genomics, predictive diagnostics, genetically engineered agriculture, nuclear transfer cloning, and the manipulation of stem cells, the idea that genes carry predetermined molecular programs or blueprints is pervasive. Yet new scientific discoveries-such as rna transcripts of single genes that can lead to the production of different compounds from the same pieces of dna-challenge the concept of the gene alone as the dominant factor in biological development. Increasingly aware of the tension between certain empirical results and interpretations of those results based on the orthodox view of genetic determinism, a growing number of scientists urge a rethinking of what a gene is and how it works. In this collection, a group of internationally renowned scientists present some prominent alternative approaches to understanding the role of dna in the construction and function of biological organisms.

Fractional Calculus for Skeptics I The Fractal Paradigm


Free Download Fractional Calculus for Skeptics I: The Fractal Paradigm
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032741554 | 147 Pages | PDF (True) | 21 MB
Fractional calculus is increasingly used today, but there remains a core population of skeptics regarding the utility of this "new" calculus. This book is intended for those who are skeptical about the need for fractional calculus to describe dynamic complex networks and must be convinced of its use on a case-by-case basis. It is a one-stop resource to rapidly read and replace the appropriate skepticism with new knowledge. It offers compelling reasons from the perspectives of the physical, social, and life sciences as to why fractional calculus is needed when addressing the complexity of an underlying STEM phenomenon. The six chapters are accompanied by useful and essential appendices and chapter-end references. Each includes new (fractional-order) ways of thinking about statistics, complexity dynamics, and what constitutes a solution to a complexity science problem.

Aristotelian Metaphysics as a Unifying Paradigm for 21st Century Science Common Sense-ible Science


Free Download acob Joseph, "Aristotelian Metaphysics as a Unifying Paradigm for 21st Century Science: Common Sense-ible Science"
English | ISBN: 1527567281 | 2024 | 111 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Are there foundational principles that apply to all human knowledge and are accessible to all? Are entities and causes that lie outside the material realm mere myth? How can we remedy the fragmentation of knowledge and the ensuing schism between a perceived scientific elite and non-scientists? Do we have a framework to remedy this situation? This book updates the foundational principles of science laid down by Aristotle in his metaphysics to provide a rational framework and a "common language" for those inside and outside of the modern scientific enterprise. The book demonstrates how Aristotelian metaphysics approaches knowledge in a methodical, unifying, and yet open manner, seeking answers to the question why? and not just to the question how?, and accepting rational answers even if they lie outside the box of material entities and causes. This timely book is both an accessible primer to the foundations of human knowledge and an exhortation for a unified approach to knowledge.
