A Biography of Life: The Story of Life On Our Planet through 47 Incredible Organisms

Unlocking the Secrets of the Deep Sea

The Dark Frontier

Take a new look at the world around you. The BBC is the world's oldest and most recognised public service broadcaster, with a mission to enrich people's lives through programming that informs, educates and entertains.

Take a new look at the world around you. What were the earliest dinosaurs like? How did they communicate? How do we know so much about them and why did they disappear? Which were the fastest, the fiercest, or the longest living? Based on the latest scientific research, The Story of the Dinosaurs will show you these ancient creatures in a whole new light. Using colourful and easy-to-follow infographics, each dinosaur is analysed, from the well-known Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops to the lesser known but equally fascinating Ichythosaur and Rhamphorhynchus. Palaeoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi guides us through the amazing world of prehistoric earth, and The Story of the Dinosaurs will bring its most infamous inhabitants to life. The BBC is the world's oldest and most recognised public service broadcaster, with a mission to enrich people's lives through programming that informs, educates and entertains. At the heart of that mission is great storytelling, and The Story Of guides use those tools to bring big subjects to life. With engaging infographics and illustration, accessible language and simple timelines, The Story Of will help you discover new worlds.

BBC: The Story of the Dinosaurs

Progress Unchained reinterprets the history of the idea of progress using parallels between evolutionary biology and changing views of human history. Early concepts of progress in both areas saw it as the ascent of a linear scale of development toward a final goal. The 'chain of being' defined a hierarchy of living things with humans at the head, while social thinkers interpreted history as a development toward a final paradise or utopia. Darwinism reconfigured biological progress as a 'tree of life' with multiple lines of advance not necessarily leading to humans, each driven by the rare innovations that generate entirely new functions. Popular writers such as H. G. Wells used a similar model to depict human progress, with competing technological innovations producing ever-more rapid changes in society. Bowler shows that as the idea of progress has become open-ended and unpredictable, a variety of alternative futures have been imagined.

Ideas of Evolution, Human History and the Future

Progress Unchained

This book explores a new approach to understanding the evolution of mind and consciousness by examining the perceptual abilities of animals and the way they experience their world. It offers a science-based bottom-up approach to our own conscious worldview by seeing it through the eyes of others.

The Human Place in Nature

The Stones of Britain is about how rocks make places and how our island history is written in stone.

This is the definitive tale of how our island history is written in stone. The Stones of Britain is about how rocks make places, exploring the connection between geology and landscape, the stones beneath the surface and the history that has played out above it. It movingly investigates the diverse character of the British landscape, and the rich variety of places that have come to be as a result. We discover that the shattered granite landscape of Dartmoor is different from the soft red sandstone hills of east Devon; the rolling chalk downs distinct from the gritty moors of Yorkshire - and each has a unique, fascinating story to tell. Interweaved with beautiful meditations on place, home and belonging, The Stones of Britain interprets these stories. It explains the nature of place on the island of Britain, revealing the landscape as the joint product of geology and man: an extraordinary history rooted in stone. Jon Cannon (1962-2023) was an architectural historian, lecturer and Canon Historian for Bristol Cathedral, and also worked for the Royal Commission on the Historical Monument of England and English Heritage. Unfortunately Jon passed in the process of making this book, but his passion for landscape, history and culture lives on and leaps defiantly off the page - culminating in a richly researched and hugely special offering.

Elements in Earth System Governance

Multispecies Justice (MSJ) is a theory and practice seeking to correct the defects making dominant theories of justice incapable of responding to current and emerging planetary disruptions and extinctions. Multispecies Justice starts with the assumption that justice is not limited to humans but includes all Earth others, and the relationships that enable their functioning and flourishing. This Element describes and imagines a set of institutions, across all scales and in different spheres, that respect, revere, and care for the relationships that make life on Earth possible and allow all natural entities, humans included, to flourish. It draws attention to the prefigurative work happening within societies otherwise dominated by institutions characterised by Multispecies Injustice, demonstrating historical and ongoing practices of MSJ in different contexts. It then sketches speculative possibilities that expand on existing institutional reforms and are more fundamentally transformational. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Der gnadenlose Überlebenskampf der freien Wildbahn stellte schon so manche Spezies vor verzwickte Probleme - sei es bei der Fortpflanzung, der Kinderaufzucht, bei Fressen und Gefressenwerden sowie der Suche nach Unterschlupf und Schutz. Doch die Evolution kennt immer eine Lösung, und sei sie auch noch so verrückt. So werden Ameisen zu Zombies, Beutelmäuse zu Testosteronmonstern, Wespen zu Sklavenhaltern und Anglerfisch-Männchen haben genau einen Daseinsgrund. Mit bissigem Humor stellt Matt Simon die skurrilsten Überlebensstrategien des Tierreichs vor. <ul><li>Mutter Natur ist verrückt geworden.</li><li>Frösche mit Bärten, Beutelmäuse, die sich zu Tode lieben, Krabben mit Hofstaat.</li><li>Matt Simon stellt äußerst unterhaltsam unglaubliche Überlebensstrategien der Tierwelt vor.

A NEW SCIENTIST BEST POPULAR SCIENCE BOOK FOR 2025 'A book that shows how we might evolve to solve the problems we have caused our planet. Brilliantly written, surprising, inspiring and, ultimately, hopeful' ISABELLA TREE For nearly four billion years, life on Earth has found new ways to adapt, reproduce and thrive, taking on new forms to meet the environment of the moment. Human impact on the planet, and the potentially devastating threat of climate change, have stressed that adaptability as never before. Yet life still finds a way. Animals, plants and insects rise to the challenge and are still adapting, reproducing and thriving, even in our rapidly transforming environment. In their example we may just find ways that we too can adapt, ways to stop the destruction we're causing to the planet. In Nature's Genius David Farrier takes us on a profound journey into this ever-changing natural world. What we discover could transform us. The ways animals adjust to the urban landscape can help us design sustainable cities. Examining other intelligences can help us remake our economies. Learning from bacterial evolution may help solve our waste problem. Synthetic biology could rescue animals from the brink of extinction. Thinking in timescales of the natural world could help us choose a better future. Life on Earth is changing; the question is, can we change with it? Can we remake the world to be fit for all life to thrive once more?

Evolution's Lessons for a Changing Planet

Nature's Genius

The first annotated edition of the book that shocked the Victorian world and continues to generate controversy todayWhen Charles Darwin's The Descent of Man was published in 1871, the book was an immediate sensation. It presents Darwin's account of how we evolved from primates and expounds his theory of sexual selection, which he believed accounted for human origins and diversity. James Costa and Elizabeth Yale bring Darwin's Descent to new life in this authoritative annotated edition, shedding light on the cultural context in which the legendary naturalist developed his ideas and exploring how subsequent generations of scientists, scholars, and social reformers adapted them. Informative and in-depth commentaries accompany the text of The Descent of Man, enabling readers to engage with Darwin's ideas and contextualize them in light of our current understanding of human evolution and sexual selection. Costa and Yale show how Darwin's antislavery commitments and his beliefs in European superiority shaped his account of the evolution of human difference, and examine how Victorian beliefs about gender informed the development of his theory of sexual selection. They explain where Darwin's arguments about the origins of human differences line up with modern science-and where they don't. Spanning the boundaries of history and science, this fully annotated edition illuminates the rich cultural and scientific contexts underpinning Darwin's ideas and introduces his landmark book to a new generation of readers.
