Sinopse

"Hibernation" presents a fascinating exploration of one of nature's most remarkable survival strategies, examining how various animals survive extended periods without food or water through complex physiological adaptations. The book masterfully breaks down the intricate mechanisms of metabolic adaptation, from the cellular level to whole-organism changes, while connecting these processes to evolutionary development and modern scientific applications.

 
Through three comprehensive sections, the text guides readers from the fundamental biochemistry of hibernation—including metabolic reduction and temperature regulation—to the diverse manifestations of this survival strategy across species. From bears and ground squirrels to hummingbirds and amphibians, each example illustrates the remarkable versatility of hibernation as an adaptive response. The book draws on cutting-edge research, including radio tracking data and genetic analyses, to paint a complete picture of how different species have evolved these survival mechanisms.

 
What sets this book apart is its ability to bridge pure science with practical applications, particularly in medical research and conservation efforts. By examining how hibernating animals naturally preserve organs and suppress metabolism, the text reveals potential applications for human medicine, including trauma care and organ preservation. The book also addresses pressing contemporary issues, such as the impact of climate change on hibernation patterns and the role of hibernation in maintaining biodiversity, making it relevant for both academic study and real-world conservation efforts.

    Once home to the United States's largest plutonium production site, the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State is laced with 56 million gallons of radioactive waste. The threat of an explosive accident at Hanford is all too real—an event that could be more catastrophic than Chernobyl. 
     
      
     
    The EPA designated Hanford the most toxic place in America; it is also the most expensive environmental clean-up job the world has ever seen, with a $677 billion price tag that keeps growing. Huge underground tanks, well past their life expectancy and full of boiling radioactive gunk, are leaking, infecting groundwater supplies and threatening the Columbia River. 
     
     
     
    Whistleblowers are now speaking out, hoping their pleas can help bring attention to the dire situation at Hanford. Aside from a few feisty community groups and handful of Indigenous activists, there is very little public scrutiny of the clean-up process, which is managed by the Department of Energy and carried out by contractors with shoddy track records, like Bechtel. In the context of renewed support for atomic power as a means of combating climate change, Atomic Days provides a much-needed refutation of the myths of nuclear technology—from weapons to electricity—and shines a spotlight on the ravages of Hanford and its threat to communities, workers, and the global environment.

    In a world where data has become one of the most valuable business assets, organizations need modern approaches to managing, scaling, and leveraging it effectively. Data Mesh introduces a revolutionary paradigm for data architecture that moves away from centralized data teams and monolithic data warehouses toward a decentralized, domain-driven approach. 
    This practical and insightful guide explains how Data Mesh transforms the way organizations think about data ownership, governance, and delivery. Instead of treating data as a byproduct of systems, Data Mesh empowers domain teams to own, manage, and serve their own data as products—creating more scalable, resilient, and agile data ecosystems.

    The great auk is one of the most tragic and documented examples of extinction. A flightless bird that bred primarily on the remote islands of the North Atlantic, the last of its kind were killed in Iceland in 1844. Gísli Pálsson draws on firsthand accounts from the Icelanders who hunted the last great auks to bring to life a bygone age of Victorian scientific exploration while offering vital insights into the extinction of species. 
     
     
     
    Pálsson vividly recounts how British ornithologists John Wolley and Alfred Newton set out for Iceland to collect specimens only to discover that the great auks were already gone. At the time, the Victorian world viewed extinction as an impossibility or trivialized it as a natural phenomenon. Pálsson chronicles how Wolley and Newton documented the fate of the last birds through interviews with the men who killed them, and how the naturalists' Icelandic journey opened their eyes to the disappearance of species as a subject of scientific concern—and as something that could be caused by humans. 
     
     
     
    Blending a richly evocative narrative with rare, unpublished material as well as insights from ornithology, anthropology, and Pálsson's own North Atlantic travels, The Last of Its Kind reveals how the saga of the great auk opens a window onto the human causes of mass extinction.
