Changing Human Relationships With Nature: Making and Remaking Wilderness Science

The paper identifies and discusses two major themes in wilderness social science. First, that wilderness studies (and its advocates) have been limited by an ontological tension between those who mainly approach the relationship between humans and nature on the basis of material factors and constraints and those who approach it through an examination of shifting concepts and ideas. Rather than p...

Human Nature, Its Development, Variations and Assessment

The special nature of human walking and its neural control.

Walking the way we do is inherently unstable. Sophisticated neurological control systems are required to ensure that we progress and maintain our balance at the same time. Most of what is known about the functional organization of these neurological control systems is inferred from studies on animals. Here, I compare selected studies on the neural control of human walking with similar studies i...

Remaking the heart

newly determined structure of a filament-forming protein from bacteria is eerily similar to that of eukaryotic actin. The bacterial protein, MreB, was known to affect cell shape in bacteria; Escherichia coli that lack MreB are spherical rather than rod-shaped. In March of this year, Jeffery Errington and colleagues (University of Oxford, UK) reported that filamentous helical A Actin (left) and ...
