Sinopsis

In 'The Malay Archipelago' (Volumes 1 & 2), Alfred Russel Wallace intricately documents his extensive travels through the diverse islands of Southeast Asia, blending scientific observation with evocative prose. The book serves not only as a travelogue but also as a pioneering work in biogeography, as Wallace meticulously catalogs the flora and fauna of the region while presenting his groundbreaking ideas on evolution. His firsthand experiences in the Malay Archipelago are enhanced by rich descriptions and reflections on the interplay between nature and human cultures, making it a significant contribution to both science and literature during the Victorian era. Alfred Russel Wallace, a contemporary of Charles Darwin, is renowned for independently formulating the theory of natural selection, which lends a profound depth to his writings. His fascination with natural history began early in life, leading him on a relentless pursuit of knowledge that would culminate in this monumental work. Born into modest circumstances, Wallace'Äôs experiences shaped his worldview, fueling his passion for exploration and scientific inquiry in unfamiliar and often challenging environments. This seminal work is highly recommended for those interested in natural history, evolution, and the rich tapestry of life that characterizes the Malay Archipelago. Wallace's keen observations and engaging narrative style will illuminate the reader's understanding of the region's biodiversity and its significance in the context of evolutionary theory. His synthesis of science and literature invites both scholars and casual readers alike to appreciate the beauty and complexity of nature.

    An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
     
     
     
    Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
     
     
     
    A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

    Here is Dr. Wernher von Braun’s incredible story – from his early years in Germany, where he gave birth to modern rocketry, to his arrival in the United States and his launching of the first American satellite, the first man on the moon and other stunning space exploration feats. “Every page of Wernher von Braun’s life is a monument to the drama of adventure. Few people have been fighting so hard and, indeed, very few have been subject to so much criticism, so much jealousy, so much defeat—yet, very few have lived to be honored and to harvest the fruits of so many wonderful victories as has this man.” Author Erik Bergaust has had the advantage of knowing von Braun as a friend, hunting and fishing companion, space business associate—and biographer—for more than twenty-five years. Thus, he has been able to present a dramatic portrait of an important personality and a 20th century hero.
