Beschreibung

In 'Problems of Genetics,' William Bateson delves into the complex and evolving field of genetics, offering insights that are both theoretically rich and practically applicable. Written in a clear yet meticulous style, the book elucidates the principles of heredity, variation, and the significance of Mendelian genetics within the broader context of evolutionary theory. Bateson challenges contemporary views, fostering a critical examination of established paradigms while invoking a rhetoric that balances scientific rigor with accessible prose, catering to both specialists and general readers alike. William Bateson, a pioneering figure in the study of genetics, was significantly influenced by the emerging discoveries of his time, including Gregor Mendel's foundational principles. His tenure as a zoologist and his interactions with the scientific community, coupled with his profound curiosity regarding life sciences, laid the groundwork for this seminal work. Bateson's advocacy for the acceptance of Mendelian genetics marked a critical shift in biological thought, establishing him as a pivotal player in the early 20th-century biological discourse. For readers interested in the foundational concepts of genetics and their implications for evolution, 'Problems of Genetics' is an essential read. Bateson'Äôs compelling arguments and innovative perspectives not only illuminate the scientific discussions of his time but also lay the groundwork for contemporary genetic research. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of genetics' past and its potential future.

    Mammals, the dominant group of warm-blooded vertebrates on Earth today, have a deep evolutionary history that stretches back over 300 million years. Their origins can be traced to the synapsids, a group of amniotes that first appeared in the late Carboniferous period. These early synapsids were distinct from reptiles and birds, possessing a single temporal fenestra, an opening in the skull that allowed for stronger jaw muscles. Over millions of years, synapsids diversified into a variety of forms, some of which gave rise to the therapsids, the direct ancestors of modern mammals. 
    During the Permian period, therapsids became the dominant terrestrial vertebrates, developing more advanced characteristics such as differentiated teeth, a more upright posture, and improved metabolic efficiency. However, the Permian-Triassic extinction event, the most severe mass extinction in Earth's history, led to a significant decline in their diversity. Those that survived continued to evolve, giving rise to cynodonts, a subgroup of therapsids that displayed increasingly mammal-like features. Cynodonts had more complex teeth, enhanced jaw mechanics, and possibly even fur, adaptations that would later define true mammals.

    The Rose-breasted Grosbeak often stays out of sight among the treetops. However, its rich melodious song consisting of whistled phrases, somewhat similar to the American Robin's voice can often be heard in spring and summer. Where the range of this species overlaps with that of the Black-headed Grosbeak on the Great Plains, the two sometimes interbreed. This binaural audio recording features the Rose-breasted Grosbeak birdsong recorded in its natural habitat in Iowa’s Yellow River State Forest near a delicate babbling river stream together with other birds, insects, and ground creatures. Other birdsongs include: Red-winged Blackbird, Song Sparrow, Blue Jay, Mourning Dove, American Crown with American Goldfinch, Gray Catbird, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker drumming in background.

    Become an Expert on Psilocybin Mushrooms and Grow Your Own Natural Apothecary!   
    A few years ago, public opinion on cannabis was mostly negative because it was considered a hallucinogenic drug.  
    Today, the compound of cannabis called CBD is being used to treat serious mental and physical illnesses and has even shown promising preliminary results in treating cancers.  
    Magic mushrooms are currently going through the same evolution. Up until recently, they too were considered a drug. Now, published clinical studies claim they can be used to treat anxiety, PTSD, cluster headaches and more.   
    The “magical” compound in magic mushrooms is psilocybin, a psychedelic alkaloid that affects the serotonin receptors in your brain. That part of your brain controls various neurological processes such as sleep, anxiety, aggression, and nausea.  
    So here’s what you’ll learn with this book: What to prepare for mushroom cultivation, from tools and containments to spores Different types of magic mushrooms and their effectsHow to safely use and dose the mushrooms for healing purposesWhat is psychedelic therapy and why is it becoming extremely popularAnd so much more!  
    Don’t be alarmed by the word “psychedelic”. The term was demonized because of its connection to various chemical drugs. However, psychedelic plants and mushrooms have been used for thousands of years, not as a drug, but as a medicine and a way to conduct spiritual growth.  
    So forget everything you’re heard about magic mushrooms, and let this book open your eyes to many healing and divine properties of this incredible Mother Nature’s gift to us!

    Coal - A Human History

    The fascinating, often surprising story of how a simple black rock has altered the course of history. Prized as "the best stone in Britain" by Roman invaders who carved jewelry out of it, coal has transformed societies, powered navies, fueled economies, and expanded frontiers. It made China a twelfth-century superpower, inspired the writing of the Communist Manifesto, and helped the northern states win the American Civil War. 
     
     
    Yet the mundane mineral that built our global economy—and even today powers our electrical plants—has also caused death, disease, and environmental destruction. As early as 1306, King Edward I tried to ban coal (unsuccessfully) because its smoke became so obnoxious. Its recent identification as a primary cause of global warming has made it a cause célèbre of a new kind. 
     
     
    In this remarkable book, Barbara Freese takes us on a rich historical journey that begins three hundred million years ago and spans the globe. From the "Great Stinking Fogs" of London to the rat-infested coal mines of Pennsylvania, from the impoverished slums of Manchester to the toxic city streets of Beijing, Coal is a captivating narrative about an ordinary substance that has done extraordinary things—a simple black rock that could well determine our fate as a species.

    An engaging exploration of the wondrous social webs that permeate life in animal societies around the world. 
     
     
     
    It's all about who you know. Whether vampire bats sharing blood meals for survival, field crickets remembering champion fighters, macaque monkeys forming grooming pacts after a deadly hurricane, or great tit birds learning the best way to steal milk—it pays to be well connected. 
     
     
     
    In this tour of the animal kingdom, evolutionary biologist Lee Alan Dugatkin reveals a new field of study, uncovering social networks that existed long before the dawn of human social media. He accessibly describes the latest findings from animal behavior, evolution, computer science, psychology, anthropology, genetics, and neurobiology, and incorporates interviews and insights from researchers he finds swimming with manta rays, avoiding pigeon poop, and stopping monkeys from stealing iPads. With Dugatkin as our guide, we investigate social networks in giraffes, elephants, kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, whales, bats, and more. From animal networks in Australia and Asia to Africa, Europe, and the Americas, The Well-Connected Animal is an eye-opening exposé of wild friends, enemies, and everything in between.
