The evolution of our modem society and the concomitant changes in lifestyle, workplace, and housing improvements place concerns about indoor air quality in a different category than for developing countries and from the times of our ancestors. 

Energy theorists of cultural evolution are concerned with the whole sweep of cultural evolution, from prehistoric hunters and gatherers to modern industrial societies. This global, secular perspective is useful in assessing the relevance of ideas advanced to account for short periods of time in the histoi y of particular societies. Those who propose an energy theoi-y of cultural evolution emphasize the problem of causality-whether or not the amount of energy a...

Fig. 3 a UV-Vis DRS spectra of dehydrated TS-1 catalyst reporting the typical 208 nm (48000cm i) LMCT hand, see Fig. 2h also reported are the four excitation laser lines used in this Raman study near-lR (dotted), visible (full), near-UV (dashed) and far-UV (dot-dashed), b Raman spectra of dehydrated TS-1 obtained with four different lasers emitting at 7 = 1064,422,325, and 244 nm (dotted, full, dashed, and dot-dashed lines, respectively). Raman spectra have been vertically shifted for clarity. Although the intensity of each spectrum depends upon different factors, the evolution of the 7(1125)//(960) ratio by changing the laser source is remarkable. The inset reports the Raman spectrum collected with the 244 nm laser in its full scale, in order to appreciate the intensity of the 1125 cm enhanced mode. Adapted from [48] with permission.

The philosophical and conceptual ramifications of the nonequilibrium Second Law are very deep. Having established the credentials of the Law by the detailed analysis outlined earlier, it is worth considering some of these large-scale consequences. Whereas the equilibrium Second Law of Thermodynamics implies that order decreases over time, the nonequilibrium Second Law of Thermodynamics explains how it is possible that order can be induced and how it can increase over time. The question is of course of some relevance to the creation and evolution of life, society, and the environment. 

Information on courses as well as articles and an archive of magazines. "Paracelsus College is an educational system dedicated to the living oral and experiential tradition of Alchemy applied in the service of Conscious Evolution. The Paracelsus College was founded by Frater Albertus Spagyricus (Dr. Albert Richard Riedel 1911 - 1984) in the U.S. in 1980 and Australia 1982. Prior to this it was known as the Paracelsus Research Society. The work of the College in the U.S. ceased after Frater Albert s passing but has continued in Australia"... 

The evolution of humans and society can be broadly divided into three periods (1) before one million years before present, when early hominids developed into anatomically modern humans (2) from one million to about 10,000 years before present, when modem humans developed and dispersed through the world and (3) between 10,000 years before present and the present time, the period when humans settled, social communities emerged, and organized societies developed. Following this classification, the relevance of the dating methods for the study of these periods is listed below.
