Sinopse

Insect Manufactures is a pioneering exploration into the fascinating world of entomology and its intersection with industry and society. Written in a rigorous yet accessible style, the book examines the myriad ways in which insects have been not only subjects of curiosity but also integral to human enterprise. It delves into historical practices, such as silk production from silkworms and the utilization of insects in agriculture and medicine, providing a rich tapestry of interdisciplinary analysis that spans biology, economics, and cultural history. The anonymous author adopts a scientific yet literary tone, carefully weaving together empirical evidence and anecdotal reflections that underscore the complex relationship between humans and these often-overlooked creatures. The anonymity of the author adds a layer of intrigue to the text, inviting speculation on the potential motivations behind the writing. The author may be a figure deeply entrenched in biological sciences or an individual inspired by the ecological crises and sustainability issues of contemporary times. This detachment allows for a broader appeal, as the voice transcends personal bias, inviting readers from various backgrounds to engage with the urgent conversations surrounding biodiversity and industrial practices. In conclusion, Insect Manufactures is highly recommended for those intrigued by the intersection of nature and industry, as well as anyone interested in the ecological implications of human actions. This book is essential for scholars and casual readers alike, providing a unique lens through which to understand both the role of insects in our world and our responsibility toward preserving them.

Drawing Out Leviathan -...

Keith M. Parsons

" . . . are dinosaurs social constructs? Might not all of our beliefs about dinosaurs merely be figments of the paleontological imagination? A few years ago such questions would have seemed preposterous, even nonsensical. Now they must have a serious answer." 
 
 
 
At stake in the "Science Wars" that have raged in academe and in the media is nothing less than the standing of science in our culture. One side argues that science is a "social construct," that it does not discover facts about the world, but rather constructs artifacts disguised as objective truths. This view threatens the authority of science and rejects science's claims to objectivity, rationality, and disinterested inquiry. Drawing Out Leviathan examines this argument in the light of some major debates about dinosaurs: the case of the wrong-headed dinosaur, the dinosaur "heresies" of the 1970s, and the debate over the extinction of dinosaurs. 
 
 
 
Keith Parsons claims that these debates show that evidence and logic remained vitally important. They show science to be a complex set of activities, pervaded by social influences, and not easily reducible to any stereotype. Parsons acknowledges that there are lessons to be learned by scientists from their would-be adversaries, and the book concludes with some recommendations for ending the Science Wars.

The Last of Its Kind - The...

Gisli Palsson

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.
