Alfred Russel Wallace

Beschreibung

In "The Malay Archipelago," Alfred Russel Wallace presents an engaging and meticulously detailed account of his explorations through the diverse islands of Southeast Asia. Written in a vivid and accessible style, Wallace's narrative combines his observations of natural history with profound reflections on evolution, showcasing the rich biodiversity of the region. This work is not only a travelogue but also a crucial contribution to the scientific discourse of the 19th century, where he laid the groundwork for biogeography and underscored the importance of geographical isolation in species development. Alfred Russel Wallace, a contemporary of Charles Darwin, was a pioneering naturalist and explorer whose travels in the Malay Archipelago profoundly influenced his ideas about evolution and natural selection. His extensive fieldwork, marked by a keen eye for detail, allowed him to collect thousands of specimens and establish connections between species and their environments. Wallace's unique perspective on the interconnectedness of life and the impact of ecological factors undoubtedly shaped the insights presented in this seminal work.

Clinical Pharmacology - Drug...

Ava Westwood

Clinical pharmacology is a vital field of medicine that bridges the gap between pharmacology and patient care. It encompasses the study of drugs, their effects on the human body, and how they are used in clinical settings to treat diseases and manage health conditions. This discipline is crucial in ensuring that medications are used effectively, safely, and appropriately across diverse patient populations. 
At its core, clinical pharmacology focuses on understanding the pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and excretes drugs) and pharmacodynamics (how drugs exert their effects on the body) of various substances. It also explores the therapeutic effects of drugs, including their potential side effects, interactions with other medications, and the individual variability in response to drugs. These insights are pivotal for designing safe and personalized treatment regimens. 
The role of clinical pharmacology extends to drug development, where it plays a key part in testing new medications for efficacy and safety through clinical trials. This process ensures that drugs meet regulatory standards before reaching the market. Additionally, clinical pharmacology contributes to post-marketing surveillance, monitoring the long-term effects of drugs once they are widely used in the population.

The Science of The Mandalorian

Mark Brake

Take a trip beyond this Earth to explore the myths of The Mandalorian and uncover the anatomy of the newest space western in the Star Wars Universe. Star Wars dominates the film world. The combined box office revenue of the Star Wars movies equates to over $10 billion, making it the second highest-grossing film franchise of all time. But this franchise is no blaster from the past. Its fantastically successful films have now been followed by multiple television series set in that same galaxy far, far away. The franchise’s flagship television series, and likely the firmest fan favorite for some time to come, is The Mandalorian. Tracing the tale of the titular bounty hunter, traveling across the furthest reaches of that mythic galaxy, The Mandalorian has been greatly praised and highly acclaimed for creating characters with gravitas and originality, worlds with depth and impact, resulting in some of the best Star Wars content ever. Even though it’s set in deep space, The Mandalorian has as much in common with Western movies as it does with science fiction. Saloons. Bandits. “Gun” duels. Bounty hunters. Outlaws with a price on their heads. Space exploration as a “final frontier.” And a wild hero who doesn’t quite belong in a lawless part of the Galaxy after the fall of Empire. The Science of The Mandalorian takes you on a badass journey with a mysterious, lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, where your beskar armor will protect you from many things, but not the sight of a small, green, carnivorous humanoid with big black eyes and mysterious powers. This is the way.

Dinner on Mars - The...

Lenore Newman, Evan D. G. Fraser

“This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
		 
From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
		 
Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
		 
For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.
