Sinossi

Nature's Traps explores the ingenious strategies organisms employ to capture prey, focusing on the mechanics and ecological roles of these traps. From the snap traps to adhesive traps, the book examines physical structures, chemical lures, and behavioral adaptations that enhance trapping effectiveness. Intriguingly, many trapping mechanisms have evolved independently across different species, demonstrating convergent evolution. This highlights how natural selection shapes innovative solutions to the challenge of acquiring food.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with general trapping principles. It then delves into specific examples, such as insectivorous plants like pitcher plants and Venus flytraps, as well as trapping invertebrates like antlions and spiders. The predatory trapping mechanisms used by these creatures are examined in detail. By analyzing the biomechanics of trap closure and the chemical ecology of lures, the book reveals the intricate relationships between predators and prey.

 
Ultimately, Nature's Traps emphasizes how these strategies influence prey populations and nutrient cycles. By blending detailed descriptions with broader ecological and evolutionary perspectives, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of this fascinating aspect of biology. It emphasizes the selective forces driving evolution and the creative potential of natural selection in shaping complex traits.

Understanding Human Metabolism

Keith N. Frayn

Does eating more carbohydrates, or fats, cause one to put on more weight? Are ketone bodies toxins or vital products that keep us alive during starvation? Does the concept of 'fat-burning exercise' hold true? In this game-changing book, Keith Frayn, an international expert in human metabolism and nutrition, dispels common misconceptions about human metabolism, explaining in everyday language the important metabolic processes that underlie all aspects of our daily lives. Frayn describes the communication systems that enable our different organs and tissues to cooperate, for instance in providing fuel to our muscles when we exercise, and in preserving our tissues during fasting. He explores the impressive adaptability of human metabolism and discusses the metabolic disorders that can arise when metabolism 'goes wrong'. For anyone skeptical of information about diet and lifestyle, this concise book guides the listener through what metabolism really involves.

Bigfoot Mysteries & Some Answers

Martin K. Ettington

There are thousands of reports of Bigfoot in North America and other sites around the world. These sightings include videos, pictures, and the stories of witnesses.I’ve researched and written about many types of cryptids and the reports of Bigfoot sightings are orders of magnitudes greater than any other cryptid sightings. These witnesses definitely saw something which is not human but bipedal.The questions to me which need answering are ones like:•,How could so many Bigfoots exist in North America but the sightings are still pretty rare?•,Why haven’t any Bigfoot skeletons been discovered?•,Where do they live at and what do they eat?•,Do they have any supranormal abilities?•,Is Bigfoot an interdimensional being?We will try to answer some of the questions in this book and propose some out of the box possibilities too.There is a lot of Bigfoot information in this book so I hope you enjoy reading this compilation about Bigfoot.
