Generalized Phase Contrast:

Applications in Optics and Photonics

By: Jesper Glückstad,Darwin Palima

Generalized Phase Contrast elevates the phase contrast technique not only to improve phase imaging but also to cross over and interface with diverse and seemingly disparate fields of contemporary optics and photonics. This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the Generalized Phase Contrast (GPC) method including an overview of the range of current and potential applications of GPC in wavefront sensing and phase imaging, structured laser illumination and image projection, optical trapping and manipulation, and optical encryption and decryption. The GPC method goes further than the restrictive assumptions of conventional Zernike phase contrast analysis and achieves an expanded range of validity beyond weak phase perturbations. The generalized analysis yields design criteria for tuning experimental parameters to achieve optimal performance in terms of accuracy, fidelity and light efficiency. Optimization can address practical issues, such as finding an optimal spatial filter for the chosen application, and can even enable a Reverse Phase Contrast mode where intensity patterns are converted into a phase modulation.

The Descent of Man

The Concise Edition

By: Charles Darwin

Applying his controversial theory of evolution to the origins of the human species, Charles Darwin's The Descent of Man was the culmination of his life's work. In The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin refused to discuss human evolution, believing the subject too 'surrounded with prejudices'. He had been reworking his notes since the 1830s, but only with trepidation did he finally publish The Descent of Man in 1871. The book notoriously put apes in our family tree and made the races one family, diversified by 'sexual selection' - Darwin's provocative theory that female choice among competing males leads to diverging racial characteristics. Named by Sigmund Freud as 'one of the ten most significant books' ever written, Darwin's Descent of Man continues to shape the way we think about what it is that makes us uniquely human. In their introduction, James Moore and Adrian Desmond, acclaimed biographers of Charles Darwin, call for a radical re-assessment of the book, arguing that its core ideas on race were fired by Darwin's hatred of slavery. The text is the second and definitive edition and this volume also contains suggestions for further reading, a chronology and biographical sketches of prominent individuals mentioned. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

The Descent Of Man

The Descent Of Man

By: Charles Darwin

The Descent Of Man Charles Darwin - In The Descent of Man Darwin addresses many of the issues raised by his notorious Origin of Species: finding in the traits and instincts of animals the origins of the mental abilities of humans, of language, of our social structures and our moral capacities, he attempts to show that there is no clear dividing line between animals and humans. Most importantly, he accounts for what Victorians called the 'races' of mankind by means of what he calls sexual selection. This book presents a full explanation of Darwin's ideas about sexual selection, including his belief that many important characteristics of human beings and animals have emerged in response to competition for mates. This was a controversial work. Yet Darwin tried hard to avoid being branded as a radical revolutionary. He is steeped in Victorian sensibilities regarding gender and cultural differences: he sees human civilization as a move from barbarous savagery to modern gentlefolk, and women as more emotional and less intellectual than men, thus providing a biological basis for the social assumptions and prejudices of the day. The Descent of Man played a major role in the emergence of social Darwinism. This complete version of the first edition gives the modern reader an unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with Darwin's proposals, launched in the midst of continuing controversy over On the Origin of Species. Janet Browne is the author of the prize-winning biography, Charles Darwin: Voyaging and Charles Darwin: The Power of Place.

On the Origin of Species (Annotated)

By: Charles Darwin

This is an annotated version of the book1.contains an updated biography of the author at the end of the book for a better understanding of the text.2.This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errorsWhen on board H.M.S. 'Beagle,' as naturalist, I was much struck withcertain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants of South America,and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitantsof that continent. These facts seemed to me to throw some light on theorigin of species--that mystery of mysteries, as it has been called byone of our greatest philosophers. On my return home, it occurred to me,in 1837, that something might perhaps be made out on this question bypatiently accumulating and reflecting on all sorts of facts which couldpossibly have any bearing on it. After five years' work I allowed myselfto speculate on the subject, and drew up some short notes; these Ienlarged in 1844 into a sketch of the conclusions, which then seemed tome probable: from that period to the present day I have steadily pursuedthe same object. I hope that I may be excused for entering on thesepersonal details, as I give them to show that I have not been hasty incoming to a decision.My work is now nearly finished; but as it will take me two or three moreyears to complete it, and as my health is far from strong, I have beenurged to publish this Abstract. I have more especially been induced todo this, as Mr. Wallace, who is now studying the natural history ofthe Malay archipelago, has arrived at almost exactly the same generalconclusions that I have on the origin of species. Last year he sent tome a memoir on this subject, with a request that I would forward itto Sir Charles Lyell, who sent it to the Linnean Society, and it ispublished in the third volume of the Journal of that Society. Sir C.Lyell and Dr. Hooker, who both knew of my work--the latter having readmy sketch of 1844--honoured me by thinking it advisable to publish, withMr. Wallace's excellent memoir, some brief extracts from my manuscripts.This Abstract, which I now publish, must necessarily be imperfect. Icannot here give references and authorities for my several statements;and I must trust to the reader reposing some confidence in my accuracy.No doubt errors will have crept in, though I hope I have always beencautious in trusting to good authorities alone. I can here give onlythe general conclusions at which I have arrived, with a few facts inillustration, but which, I hope, in most cases will suffice. No one canfeel more sensible than I do of the necessity of hereafter publishing indetail all the facts, with references, on which my conclusions have beengrounded; and I hope in a future work to do this. For I am well awarethat scarcely a single point is discussed in this volume on which factscannot be adduced, often apparently leading to conclusions directlyopposite to those at which I have arrived. A fair result can be obtainedonly by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on bothsides of each question; and this cannot possibly be here done.I much regret that want of space prevents my having the satisfaction ofacknowledging the generous assistance which I have received from verymany naturalists, some of them personally unknown to me. I cannot,however, let this opportunity pass without expressing my deepobligations to Dr. Hooker, who for the last fifteen years has aided mein every possible way by his large stores of knowledge and his excellentjudgment.

The Origin of Species and The Voyage of the 'Beagle'

Introduction by Richard Dawkins

By: Charles Darwin

Easily the most influential book published in the nineteenth century, Darwin’s The Origin of Species is also that most unusual phenomenon, an altogether readable discussion of a scientific subject. On its appearance in 1859 it was immediately recognized by enthusiasts and detractors alike as a work of the greatest importance: its revolutionary theory of evolution by means of natural selection provoked a furious reaction that continues to this day. The Origin of Species is here published together with Darwin’s earlier Voyage of the ‘Beagle.’ This 1839 account of the journeys to South America and the Pacific islands that first put Darwin on the track of his remarkable theories derives an added charm from his vivid description of his travels in exotic places and his eye for the piquant detail.

The Origin of Species (100 Copy Collector's Edition)

By: Charles Darwin

The Origin of Species is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had gathered on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation. The Origin of Species attracted widespread interest upon its publication. As Darwin was an eminent scientist, his findings were taken seriously and the evidence he presented generated scientific, philosophical, and religious discussion. Within two decades there was widespread scientific agreement that evolution, with a branching pattern of common descent, had occurred. In the 1930s and 1940s, Darwin's concept of natural selection became central to modern evolutionary theory, and it has now become the unifying concept of the life sciences. This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.
