Summary

In 'The micro-organisms of the soil,' readers are introduced to an in-depth exploration of the microscopic world that plays a pivotal role in the earth's ecological and biological processes. This collection, focusing on the scientific understanding and research advancements made by Rothamsted Experimental Station under the guidance of Edward J. Russell, delves into the diverse range of micro-organisms residing within soil environments. It highlights the significance of these organisms in nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil structure, presenting a comprehensive overview that sheds light on the intricate relationships between soil biology and agricultural practices. The anthology stands out for its methodological diversity, encompassing studies, experiments, and review essays that collectively enrich our understanding of soil microbiology. The contributing authors, primarily researchers and scientists affiliated with Rothamsted Experimental Station, bring a wealth of knowledge and empirical data to the anthology. Edward J. Russell, a prominent figure in soil science, leads the collection with his expertise in the field, coherently piecing together contributions that span historical, cultural, and scientific narratives. The collection aligns with contemporary movements in environmental science and sustainable agriculture, mapping the evolution of soil microbiology research and its impact on both academic and practical farming methodologies. This anthology is recommended for readers with an interest in environmental science, agriculture, and microbiology. It offers a unique opportunity to engage with the complex world of soil organisms through a lens that is both scholarly and accessible. Readers will find value in the educational breadth, the insightful analyses, and the stimulating discourse on ecological sustainability that 'The micro-organisms of the soil' provides. Thus, it serves not only as a testament to the critical role of soil microbiology in our ecosystem but also as a bridge connecting historical research with current and future environmental challenges.

    **The fully revised edition of Rupert Sheldrake's controversial science classic, from the author of the bestselling Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2021!**
    
    After chemists crystallised a new chemical for the first time, it became easier and easier to crystallise in laboratories all over the world. After rats at Harvard first escaped from a new kind of water maze, successive generations learned quicker and quicker. Then rats in Melbourne, Australia learned yet faster. Rats with no trained ancestors shared in this improvement.
    
    Rupert Sheldrake sees these processes as examples of morphic resonance. Past forms and activities of organisms, he argues, influence organisms in the present through direct connections across time and space.Individual plants and animals both draw upon and contribute to the collective memory of their species.
    
    Sheldrake, now Director of the Perrott-Warwick Project supported by Trinity College, Cambridge, reinterprets the regularities of nature as being more like habits than immutable laws. Described as 'the best candidate for burning there has been for many years' by Nature on first publication, this updated edition will raise hackles and inspire curiosity in equal measure.

    What Is First Order Logic
     
    First-order logic is a collection of formal systems that are utilized in the fields of mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. Other names for first-order logic include predicate logic, quantificational logic, and first-order predicate calculus. In first-order logic, quantified variables take precedence over non-logical objects, and the use of sentences that contain variables is permitted. As a result, rather than making assertions like "Socrates is a man," one can make statements of the form "there exists x such that x is Socrates and x is a man," where "there exists" is a quantifier and "x" is a variable. This is in contrast to propositional logic, which does not make use of quantifiers or relations; propositional logic serves as the basis for first-order logic in this sense.
