Ants and Some Other Insects: An Inquiry Into the Psychic Powers of These Animals - Enriched edition

Auguste Forel

Sinopse

In "Ants and Some Other Insects: An Inquiry Into the Psychic Powers of These Animals," Auguste Forel meticulously explores the intricate behaviors and social structures of ants and various insects, blending empirical observation with scientific inquiry. Written during a period of burgeoning interest in entomology and the study of animal psychology in the late 19th century, Forel's work reflects the emerging paradigms of naturalism and psychology. His literary style is characterized by a clear, analytical approach that marries meticulous detail with philosophical questions regarding the consciousness and social behaviors of these creatures, offering profound insights into their lives. Auguste Forel, a prominent Swiss psychiatrist and myrmecologist, was driven by a fascination with the mental faculties of lower animals. His dual expertise in psychology and biology shaped his perspectives on the instinctive behaviors of insects, paving the way for groundbreaking ideas in animal behavior studies. Forel's passion for elucidating the complexities of ant societies emerged from both his scientific background and his unique philosophical outlook, reflecting a deep curiosity about the brain and behavior across all species. This book is not only an essential read for entomologists but also serves as a compelling inquiry for anyone intrigued by the intersections of animal consciousness and social dynamics. Forel's vivid depictions and thoughtful analysis invite readers to reconsider the capabilities of these seemingly simple creatures, making this work a valuable addition to the literature on animal psychology and behavior.

Dominic Couzens, Gail Ashton

A fascinating journey into the secret life of insects, with QR codes linked to videos that bring every creature to life.
Just as birds have yearly rhythms, so do bees, beetles, butterflies and other insects. Wildlife experts Dominic Couzens and Gail Ashton discover 52 minibeasts from around the world.
They tell the story of what is happening week-by-week in the insect world, in our own backyards, window boxes and in hidden corners of our homes. From the daily grind of the house spider building a new web each morning, to the vast appetites of ladybirds, which can devour hundreds of aphids a day, and the glory of the Stag beetle's maiden flight. We delve into the world of the lethal Sydney funnelweb spider in Australian gardens, the migratory mission of the Monarch butterfly in America and the life of the backdoor scorpions in South Africa. In among the seasonal behaviour, the authors have woven history and folklore.
These brilliant stories are complemented by wonderful illustrations by Lesley Buckingham that bring out the beauty of the entomological world. A QR code for each entry takes you to a video file to further explore the habits of these intriguing creatures. Revealing the true wonder of our insect neighbours, this book will appeal to all nature lovers.

Waldy Myelo & Me - Surviving...

Carol Turner

Prepare to meet Waldy, Dr. Turner’s pet name for Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia.Then, just as it seems like the shock is clearing, his pal, Myelo—Myelodysplastic Syndrome—enters the scene. In the process of fighting them off, we’ll also meet enough doctors and varied care providers to fill a small bus: Dr. Blood Expert, Dr. Know It All, Ms. Smooth-as-Silk Social Worker, Dr. Second Cancer, Dr. Gatekeeper, Dr. Good Ideas, Dr. Italian, Dr. Believer, and more. Some work miracles, while one caused our protagonist to storm out of their office in disgust. Much of what’s in these pages is about self-advocacy. As a doctor herself, Dr. Turner is less intimidated than most by going toe-to-toe with care providers and taking her care into her own hands, whether with doctors, nurses, or administrative personnel. Though she’s a doctor, and her words are medically accurate, her writing is squarely intended for regular people—as are the lessons it conveys.

The Insect Crisis - The Fall of...

Oliver Milman

From ants scurrying under leaf litter to bees able to fly higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, insects are everywhere. Three out of every four of our planet's known animal species are insects. In The Insect Crisis, Oliver Milman dives into the torrent of recent evidence that suggests this kaleidoscopic group of creatures is suffering the greatest existential crisis in its remarkable 400-million-year history. What is causing the collapse of the insect world? And what can be done to stem the loss of the miniature empires that hold aloft life as we know it? 
 
 
 
Milman explores this hidden emergency, arguing that its consequences could even rival climate change. He joins the scientists tracking the decline of insect populations across the globe, including the mountains of Mexico that host an epic, yet dwindling, migration of monarch butterflies; the verdant countryside of England that has been emptied of insect life; the gargantuan fields of US agriculture that have proved a killing ground for bees; and an offbeat experiment in Denmark that shows there aren't that many bugs splattering into your car windshield these days. These losses not only further tear at the tapestry of life on our degraded planet; they imperil everything we hold dear, from the food on our supermarket shelves to the medicines in our cabinets to the riot of nature that thrills and enlivens us.
