Sinopse

Paralyzing Predators explores the fascinating world of venomous animals that use paralysis to capture prey, delving into their evolutionary adaptations and ecological significance. These predators showcase how natural selection has shaped their hunting behaviors, with some venoms acting incredibly fast to immobilize prey, as seen in certain marine snails. The book examines the biochemical mechanisms behind these venoms, revealing how toxins disrupt nerve and muscle function with remarkable precision. This exploration provides insight into the evolutionary pressures that drive the development of these sophisticated paralytic strategies.

 
The book starts with an introduction to venom production and delivery, moves through the molecular compositions of venoms and ecological roles of predators, and finishes by looking at potential biomedical applications. The book's unique approach integrates molecular biology, ecology, and evolutionary biology, providing a holistic understanding of paralytic predation.

    Between 1987 and 1989, Paul Bowles, at the suggestion of a friend, kept a journal to record the daily events of his life. What emerges is not only just a record of the meals, conversations, and health concerns of the author of The Sheltering Sky but also a fascinating look at an artist at work in a new medium. Characterized by a refreshing informality, clear-sightedness, and passages of exquisite prose, these pages record with equal fascination the behavior of an itinerant spider, a brutal episode of violence in a Tangier marketplace, and the pageantry and excess of Malcolm Forbes's seventieth birthday party. In Days, a master observer of the foreign and obscure turns his attentions toward his own daily existence, giving us a startlingly candid portrait of his life in late twentieth-century Tangier.

Following World War I, many Australian veterans were given land to farm in Western Australia. However, their efforts were thwarted by an unexpected adversary: the emu population. These large, flightless birds descended upon the newly cultivated fields, wreaking havoc on crops and causing significant economic strain for the farmers. As the situation escalated, the government decided to intervene, leading to a bizarre military operation that would come to be known as the Great Emu War.
