Download or read book Zebra Stripes written by Timothy M. Caro and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do zebras have stripes? Popular explanations range from camouflage to confusion of predators, social facilitation, and even temperature regulation. It is a challenge to test these proposals on large animals living in the wild, but using a combination of careful observations, simple field experiments, comparative information, and logic, Caro concludes that black-and-white stripes are an adaptation to thwart biting fly attack.

Download or read book Daniel written by Henning Mankell and published by New Press/ORIM. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of the Kurt Wallander novels: The “haunting and fascinating” tale of a young boy’s harrowing odyssey from Africa to Sweden (Booklist). In the 1870s, Hans Bengler arrives in Cape Town from Småland, Sweden, driven by a singular desire: to discover an insect no one has seen before and name it after himself. But then he impulsively adopts a young San orphan boy whose parents have been killed by European colonists. Christening the boy Daniel, Hans brings him back to Sweden—a quite different specimen than he first contemplated. Daniel is told to call Bengler “Father,” and to knock on doors and bow. He continually struggles to understand this strange new land of mud and snow that surrounds and seemingly entraps him. At the same time, he is haunted by visions of his murdered parents calling him home to Africa. Knowing that the only way home is by sea, he decides he must learn to walk on water if he is ever to reclaim his true place in the world. Evocative and sometimes brutal, the novel follows Daniel through a series of tragedies and betrayals that culminate in a shocking act. Henning Mankell, a world-renowned “master of atmosphere,” offers this “quiet tragedy” with a ruthless elegance all his own (The Boston Globe).
Book Synopsis The Human Condition by : Richard John Kosciejew
Download or read book The Human Condition written by Richard John Kosciejew and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-11-04 with total page 1453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have come to view the proper approach among the issues that are highly familiar. The self-correcting nature of the scientific enterprise insures us that nothing much will be lost if the ideas put forward turn out to be wrong (this can also be read as an excuse for speculation). The broadening of a conceptual approach is currently needed instead of vague formations, and falsifiability, which is not the only criterion for this as an excuse against scientific ideas. Describing paths of thought is very difficult. Where, at this place, are already many and steadfast lines laid down . . . nonetheless, . . . I do not believe that scientific progress is always best advanced by keeping an altogether open mind. Forgetting ones doubts is often necessary and to follow the consequences of ones assumptions wherever they may lead. The greater of things, is not to be free of theoretical prejudices, but to have the right theoretical prejudices.
Book Synopsis The Approaching Primate by : Richard John Kosciejew
Download or read book The Approaching Primate written by Richard John Kosciejew and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-12-11 with total page 1396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaebacteria were followed about 3.46 billion years ago by another type of prokaryote known as Cyanobacteria or blue-green algae. These Cyanobacteria gradually introduced oxygen in the atmosphere because of photosynthesis. In shallow tropical waters, Cyanobacteria formed mats that grew into humps called stromatolites. Fossilized stromatolites have been found in rocks in the Pilbara region of western Australia that are more than 3.4 billion years old. As, some rocks found in the Gunflint Chert region of northwest Lake Superior extend over an age of about 2.1 billion years old.

Book Synopsis The Animal Estate by : Harriet Ritvo
Download or read book The Animal Estate written by Harriet Ritvo and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think about the Victorian age, we usually envision people together with animals: the Queen and her pugs, the sportsman with horses and hounds, the big game hunter with his wild kill, the gentleman farmer with a prize bull. Harriet Ritvo here gives us a vivid picture of how animals figured in English thinking during the nineteenth century and, by extension, how they served as metaphors for human psychological needs and sociopolitical aspirations. Victorian England was a period of burgeoning scientific cattle breeding and newly fashionable dog shows; an age of Empire and big game hunting; an era of reform and reformers that saw the birth of the Royal SPCA. Ritvo examines Victorian thinking about animals in the context of other lines of thought: evolution, class structure, popular science and natural history, imperial domination. The papers and publications of people and organizations concerned with agricultural breeding, veterinary medicine, the world of pets, vivisection and other humane causes, zoos, hunting at home and abroad, all reveal underlying assumptions and deeply held convictions—for example, about Britain’s imperial enterprise, social discipline, and the hierarchy of orders, in nature and in human society. Thus this book contributes a new new topic of inquiry to Victorian studies; its combination of rhetorical analysis with more conventional methods of historical research offers a novel perspective on Victorian culture. And because nineteenth-century attitudes and practices were often the ancestors of contemporary ones, this perspective can also inform modern debates about human–animal interactions.
Book Synopsis Environmental Security and Environmental Management: The Role of Risk Assessment by : Benoit Morel
Download or read book Environmental Security and Environmental Management: The Role of Risk Assessment written by Benoit Morel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-22 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of “environmental security” has emerged as one basis for understanding international conflicts. This phrase can mean a variety of things. It can signify security issues stemming from environmental concerns or conflicting needs, or it can mean that the environment is treated as a resource for the long term, and the question is what should be done today to preserve the quality of the environment in the future. In the same way that energy security is about ensuring access to energy for the long run, it can also mean that pressing environmental concerns create a situation where different countries and communities are forced to collaboratively design a unified response, even if cooperation is not generally in the logic of their relations. Over the last several years, the authors of this book and their colleagues have tried to demonstrate the power of risk assessment and decision analysis as valuable tools that decision makers should use for a broad range of environmental problems, including environmental security. Risk analysis is almost more a state of mind or a way of looking at problems than it is a kind of algorithm or a set of recipes. It projects a kind of rationality on problems and forces a certain degree of quantitative rigor, as opposed to the all too common tendency of making environmental recommendations based on anecdotal evidence.
