The concept of exaptation, introduced in evolutionary biology by Gould and Vrba in 1982, describes the possibility that already existing traits can be exploited for new purposes throughout the evolutionary process. Edited by three active scholars in the fields of biology, physics and economics, the book presents an interdisciplinary collection of expert viewpoints illustrating the importance of exaptation for interpreting current reality in various fields of investigation. Using the lenses of exaptation, the contributing authors show how to view the overall macroscopic landscape as comprising many disciplines, all working in unity within a single complex system. This book is the first to discuss exaptation in both hard and soft disciplines and highlights the role of this concept in understanding the birth of innovation by identifying key elements and ideas. It also offers a comprehensive guide to the emerging interdisciplinary field of exaptation, provides didactic explanations of the basic concepts, and avoids excessive jargon and heavy formalism. Its target audience includes graduate students in physics, biology, mathematics, economics, psychology and architecture; it will also appeal to established researchers in the humanities who wish to explore or enter this new science-driven interdisciplinary field. 000938474 650_0 $$aTechnological innovations. 000938474 7001_ $$aLa Porta, Caterina,$$d1966- 000938474 7001_ $$aZapperi, Stefano. 000938474 7001_ $$aPilotti, Luciano. 000938474 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3030457834$$z9783030457839$$w(OCoLC)1145603448 000938474 830_0 $$aFrontiers collection. 000938474 852__ $$bebk 000938474 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-45784-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000938474 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:938474$$pGLOBAL_SET 000938474 980__ $$aEBOOK 000938474 980__ $$aBIB 000938474 982__ $$aEbook 000938474 983__ $$aOnline 000938474 994__ $$a92$$bISE
