The book Elemental-Embodied Thinking for a New Era is now advertised online by Springer. It will include my chapter "A biosemiotic perspective on the human condition and the environmental crisis". Publication date is said to be November 26th.
Pre-orders are now possible e.g. via Amazon.
There are now some descriptions of the forthcoming book Organ Crosstalk in Acute Kidney Injury: Basic Concepts and Clinical Practices, where I contribute with the opening chapter, "Nosology and semiotics". I found a book description on the webpage of Amazon Australia, the bookshop Lavoisier, and GoodReads. At Lavoisier, publication date is said to be in September 2023.
Description:
This is an original work dedicated to an important and current topic in nephrology: organ crosstalk in acute renal injury. Acute kidney injury is a prevalent and serious syndrome. The related mortality to this syndrome has not been significantly reduced in the last decades despite the advances in renal replacement therapy technology. For this reason, a new approach to obtain an effective treatment is urgently needed. The organ crosstalk perspective could be useful in order to achieve this objective since it implies a very early acute kidney injury diagnose and treatment. This book includes a comprehensive review of the organ crosstalk perspective in acute kidney injury. Organized in two parts, the chapters in the first part present general subjects as an introduction to analysing the crosstalk concept. These chapters give an overview of the concepts of biosemiotics, hormones, neurotransmitters, cytokines, signalling and adhesion molecules, organ intercommunication, and epigenetics. The second part gathers chapters on the different kidney crosstalk, such as brain, lung, heart, liver, gut, and placenta. Finally, there is a chapter dedicated to the influence of renal replacement treatment on kidney crosstalk. Since acute kidney injury is a topic of interest to many health professionals, this work will be a useful resource to general practitioners, internal medicine physicians, geriatricians, nephrologists, critical care therapists, immunologists, and also biologists and bioengineers.
On Wednesday I was informed by Springer that the book Semiotic agency: Science beyond mechanism, which I have co-written (as second author) with Alexei Sharov, has been published. On that day this did not appear to be the case judging by the book´s webpage, which was unchanged, with no sales links. By Thursday, however, info online was updated, and the book can now be bought in Hardcover version (109.99 Euro) or eBook version (93.08 Euro).
The book is said to be part of the following eBook packages (for institutional subscribers):
I am still waiting to receive print copy as well as eBook version personally.
