Heinsohn R.: Evolution of Obligate
Cooperative Breeding

Evolution of Obligate Cooperative Breeding

The Behaviour–Based Approach to Bear Husbandry

It takes 40 weeks to grow a human baby. And the relationship between a foetus and a pregnant woman is like a little that of a parasite and its host. One takes and takes, while the other continues to give, risking their health in the process. Is there a better way? The Komodo dragon can reproduce via pathogenesis - fertilising its own eggs, so no male is needed. The Surinam toad harbours live babies in craters under its skin - until they're ready to burst out into the world. And the hyena . . . Well, best not mention the hyena . . . Anna Blix takes the reader on a fascinating journey through her own pregnancy, introducing us in each of the 40 weeks to other creatures who have just delivered their next generation into the world. This fun, informative and personable book provides evolutionary comfort throughout the long haul of pregnancy, and an explanation as to how we ended up here: as the smartest species with a tiresome, but perhaps not so bad way to reproduce. It could always be worse. Just ask the hyena. Translated from the Norwegian by Nicola Smalley

Biochar as a Multipurpose Platform: With Applications in Energy, Environment, and Materials discusses all the most cutting-edge biochar applications, including environmental remediation, energy storage, composites, and catalyst production, thus providing an expert overview of recent trends in biochar research. Biochar is a solid residue that is recovered after the thermal decomposition of biomasses inert atmosphere. Biochar has been used for many decades for soil applications. Nonetheless, biochar is far more than a mere soil amendment.

Sleep has hardly changed since Paleolithic humans snoozed soundly in their caves. While sabre-toothed tigers were their biggest night-time worry, today it's stress and social media that keep us awake, but the solutions are the same, and sleep therapist Dr Merijn van der Laar offers understanding and advice to have you sleeping better within weeks.

Ancient Wisdom for a Better Night’s Rest

How to Sleep Like a Caveman

In an age where technologies such as AI threaten to supplant human intelligence, an award-winning scientist offers a radical new view of our innate human technology and what we're truly capable of. There are rare moments in time when we make choices that irreversibly change the world, and our lives, forever. Today is one of those moments. Scientists, engineers and philosophers alike warn us that without a radical shift in our thinking, we are on track to be the last generation of pure humans that the world will know. Within a single generation we will devolve into a hybrid species of synthetic bodies, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and computer chips that limit our ability to think, to love, and to adapt to the conditions of the emerging world in a healthy way. In doing so we will also lose our capacity for emotion, empathy, intimacy, and forgiveness--the very qualities that we value and cherish in our humanness. The question that we face is simple: Do we love ourselves enough to preserve the gift of our humanness? Our answer is based upon the way we've been taught to think of ourselves. This book is a compelling journey of self-discovery that will catapult you beyond conventional thinking when it comes to your origins, your limits and, most importantly, the abilities that have been hidden from you for centuries, and the extraordinary potential that awaits as you embrace them.

The Psychology of Liberty

Der Mensch ist etwas Besonderes. Mit acht Milliarden über den ganzen Globus verteilten Individuen ist der Mensch so erfolgreich wie keine andere vergleichbare Art. Aber warum wir so sind, wie wir sind, daran scheiden sich die Geister. Josef H. Reichholf, vielfach ausgezeichneter Biologe und Bestsellerautor, stellt sich in seinem großen Buch der Frage nach dem Wesen des Menschen. Was sind wir? Welche Rolle spielen Natur und Kultur für Gewalt und Mitgefühl, für Konflikte und Fortschritt? Und warum gelingt es der Menschheit nicht, sich zukunftsfähig zu verhalten? Anschaulich und anhand neuester Forschungen zeichnet Reichholf den langen Weg von Homo sapiens nach - und greift zugleich weit über eine rein biologische Evolutionsgeschichte hinaus.

Philosophical Dialogues on Contemporary Problems

Worldwide every year, 83 billion animals are slaughtered on factory farms, at the end of brief lives full of suffering. Is it wrong to buy the products of this industry? In this book, two college students - a meat-eater and an ethical vegetarian - discuss this question in a series of dialogues conducted over five days.

Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism

'An epic travelogue, brimming with the excitement of discovery. With characteristic panache, Venter unveils the teeming array of bacteria, viruses, and eukaryotes that crowd our planet's oceans' Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies Upon completing his historic work on the Human Genome Project in 2002, J. Craig Venter declared that he would sequence the genetic code of all life on earth. Thus began a fifteen-year quest to collect DNA from the world's oldest and most abundant form of life: microbes. Boarding the Sorcerer II, a 100-foot sailboat turned research vessel, Venter travelled over 65,000 miles around the globe to sample ocean water and the microscopic life within. In this book, Venter and esteemed science writer David Ewing Duncan tell the remarkable story of these expeditions and of the momentous discoveries that ensued - of plant-like bacteria that get their energy from the sun, proteins that metabolize vast amounts of hydrogen, and microbes whose genes shield them from ultraviolet light. The result was a vast library of millions of unknown genes, thousands of unseen protein families, and new lineages of bacteria that revealed the unimaginable complexity of life on earth. Yet despite this exquisite diversity, Venter encountered sobering reminders of how human activity is disturbing the delicate microbial ecosystem that nurtures life on earth. In the face of unprecedented climate change, Venter and Duncan show how we can harness the microbial genome to develop alternative sources of energy, food, and medicine that might ultimately avert our destruction. A captivating story of exploration and discovery, this book restores microbes to their rightful place as crucial partners in our evolutionary past and guides to our future.

A celebrated genome scientist sails around the world, collecting tens of millions of marine microbes and revolutionising our understanding of the microbiome that sustains us.
