Signals: Evolution, Learning, and Information
Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press (2010)
Abstract
Brian Skyrms offers a fascinating demonstration of how fundamental signals are to our world. He uses various scientific tools to investigate how meaning and communication develop. Signals operate in networks of senders and receivers at all levels of life, transmitting and processing information. That is how humans and animals think and interact.Author's Profile
