Summary

In his seminal work, 'The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex', Charles Darwin delves into the complexities of human evolution and the role of sexual selection. Through detailed observations and analysis, Darwin explores how characteristics such as beauty, strength, and intelligence are influenced by the process of natural selection. His writing style is both analytical and thought-provoking, providing readers with a deep insight into the origins of human behavior and traits. This book is considered a foundational text in the field of evolutionary biology and continues to influence scientific thought to this day. Charles Darwin, a renowned naturalist and biologist, conducted extensive research and collected evidence to support his theory of evolution. His groundbreaking work laid the foundation for modern evolutionary theory and revolutionized the way we understand the development of life on Earth. Darwin's keen observations and meticulous approach to research are evident throughout 'The Descent of Man', making it a must-read for anyone interested in the origins of humanity and the natural world. I highly recommend 'The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex' to readers who are curious about the connections between human evolution and sexual selection. Darwin's insights are both enlightening and thought-provoking, offering a deeper understanding of the forces that shape our species and our place in the natural world.

    The classic easy-reference field guide with more than 1500 photographs: “An almost foolproof practical reference book.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)   This useful book for botanists, horticulturists, and nature lovers is made up of two parts: Pictorial Keys and Master Pages. The Keys are designed for easy visual comparison of details that look alike, narrowing the identification of a tree to one of a small group—the family or genus. Then, in the Master Pages, the species of the tree is determined, with similar details placed together to highlight differences within the family group, thus eliminating all other possibilities. All of the more than 1500 photographs were made specifically for use in this book and were taken either in the field or of carefully collected specimens. Where possible, details such as leaves, fruit, etc., appear in actual size, or in the same scale.

    True tales of microscopic detective work that catches killers both human and pathogen: “More fascinating than fiction. Forget CSI, this is the real thing” (Val McDermid).  A Matter of Life and Death profiles some of the world’s most eminent and pioneering pathologists. This is a hidden world, yet one we will all inevitably encounter at some time in our lives, for pathology lies at the cornerstone of modern medicine. It is pathologists who are responsible for recognizing new diseases such as AIDS, SARS or bird flu, and for diagnosing which cancer a patient is suffering from. Beyond this, it is pathologists who must explain the cause of death at the autopsy table.  A Matter of Life and Death tells fascinating stories of mysterious illnesses and miraculous scientific breakthroughs. But it is also crammed full of extraordinary characters - from the forensic anthropologist with his own Body Farm in Tennessee to the doctor who had a heart-and-lung transplant and ended up using her own lungs for research.  “If you’re interested in criminal investigation, this is the must-read of the year. Probably of the decade.” —Val McDermid, author of Insidious Intent

    An offbeat guided tour of the Universe, focusing on weird and wonderful facts.

Astrophysicist Dr Jillian Scudder knows more than most of us what a surreal place the Universe can be. In this light-hearted book she delves into some of the more arcane facts that her work has revealed, and tells us how we have actually managed to discover these amazing truths.

Did you know: the galaxy is flatter than a sheet of paper; supermassive black holes can sing a super-low B flat; it rains iron on a brown dwarf, and diamonds on Neptune; you could grow turnips on Mars if its soil weren't full of rocket fuel; the Universe is beige, on average; Jupiter's magnetic field will short-circuit your spacecraft - and, of course, the Milky Way smells of rum and raspberries.
