Beschreibung

"The Geographical Distribution of Animals" in 2 volumes is one of the best-known works by Alfred Russel Wallace. Extending the system developed by the British zoologist Philip Sclater for birds – which divided the earth into six separate geographic regions for describing species distribution – to cover mammals, reptiles and insects as well, Wallace created the basis for the zoogeographic regions still in use today. He discussed all of the factors then known to influence the current and past geographic distribution of animals within each geographic region, and provided maps showing factors, such as elevation of mountains, depths of oceans, and the character of regional vegetation, that affected the distribution of animals. Wallace summarized all the known families and genera of the higher animals and listed their known geographic distributions.

    The New York Times bestseller that explores the primitive world of human programming as it pertains to beauty, culture, and evolution. Beauty is raw, powerful, and often dangerous, but when refined, harnessed, and mastered, it can be incredibly influential. Just as there is a good reason why all humans find sugar to be sweet and a growling beast intimidating, there is an evolutionary logic to why our appearances allow us to communicate and manipulate each other at a subconscious level. Who you choose to mate, befriend, or work with often pivots on a few critical yet subliminal decisions made within a fraction of a second. The human brain has been evolving over 3.5 million years, and our thoughts, behaviors, and actions are rooted in a system that is evolutionary, adaptive, and unencumbered by political, social, or religious constraints. Evolution only cares about one thing: survival of our genes.Subliminally Exposed will reveal the how and why behind your actions and empower you to decode and translate others’ subconscious behaviors. Whether it is for political, employment, or relationship purposes, the knowledge and tools gained from the words in this book can be used for betterment or deceit. It is your choice. Regardless, be forewarned. The information you are about to read will affect every one of your relationships for better or worse in one way or another.
