Sinopsis

In "The Geographical Distribution of Animals (Vol. 1 & 2)", Alfred Russel Wallace presents a pioneering exploration of biogeography, interweaving meticulous observations of flora and fauna with the emerging scientific principles of evolution and natural selection. Written in a clear and engaging style characteristic of Victorian naturalism, this work meticulously categorizes species and their habitats across various world regions, delving into the effects of geography on biodiversity. Wallace's keen insights laid foundational stones for modern ecology, revealing intricate relationships between environment and species distribution, emphasizing the significance of geographical barriers in the evolution of life. Alfred Russel Wallace, often heralded as the father of biogeography, was a contemporary and collaborator of Charles Darwin. His extensive travels across the tropical regions, including the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago, enriched his understanding of the natural world and informed his theories on evolution. The robust scientific inquiries and experiences that Wallace amassed during his expeditions reflect a profound dedication to understanding life's diversity, elevating his work in this volume to a cornerstone of biological sciences. This seminal work is highly recommended for scholars, ecologists, and naturalists alike, offering a comprehensive and detailed examination of animal distribution that is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century. Wallace's unique perspective not only enhances our understanding of animal geography but also invites readers to appreciate the intricate web of life that defines our planet.

    In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, trust in the healthcare system seems to be at an all-time low. Conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and distrust of government health agencies is common among private citizens. Yet many of those same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the public's faith be restored? 
     
     
     
    The Anatomy of Deception investigates the cause behind this seeming uptick in distrust by tracing the unexpected connection between medical mistrust and the move toward far right ideology in the United States. Drawing on personal qualitative research and interviews, health writer and expert Sara Gorman challenges traditional concepts of medical mistrust and argues that the loss of institutional trust in American health care signals a larger breakdown in democracy as a whole. In six short chapters, Gorman advances the idea of medical mistrust not as a byproduct of personal or historical abuses but as a direct result of bias, miscommunication, and lack of access that has slowly eroded trust in the public health system over time. She argues that we can build back trust in medicine through investments in health equity as a first step towards healing the schisms present in modern American society.

    Sally Coulthard tells the fascinating – and sometimes shocking – story of the domestic chicken. 
    The chicken can fly only a few metres but – somehow – this unlikely evolutionary descendant of Tyrannosaurus Rex has conquered the world. Earth is now home to more than twenty billion chickens, at least ten times more than any other bird. For every human on the planet, there are three chickens. In Fowl Play, Sally Coulthard charts the chicken's fascinating journey from dinosaur to domestication to exploitation, exploring every aspect of the history of Gallus gallus domesticus: its importance to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans as food source and fighting bird; its symbolic roles in religion and folklore and metaphorical function in the language we use; its homely place as egg-providing companion on farms, smallholdings and in suburban back gardens; and its darker modern-day fate as battery bird raised to satisfy society's unquenchable addiction to wings and nuggets. Of all animals, chickens perhaps best represent the contradictory way we humans treat other species; both beloved pet and cheap commodity, symbol of a sustainable good life and brutalised object of factory farming. The chicken is also a bird we feel deeply familiar with and yet know very little about. As informative as it is entertaining, Fowl Play tells a remarkable tale of evolutionary change, epic global travel and ruthless exploitation – as well as of companionship, ingenuity and the folly of human nature.
