Summary

Marine Pollution Controls explores the intricate legal structures created to defend our oceans from the harm of pollution, addressing the critical question of whether current measures are sufficient to prevent irreversible damage to marine ecosystems. The book highlights the fact that oceans play a vital role in regulating climate and supporting global biodiversity, further emphasizing the urgency of effective pollution controls.

 
It dives into international maritime law, examining conventions like MARPOL and UNCLOS, while also scrutinizing national enforcement frameworks. The book progresses by first tracing the history of international maritime law, then centers on vessel-source pollution, responses to accidental pollution such as oil spills, and the regulation of dumping at sea.

 
A key insight is the disparity between the legal ideals of international conventions and the practical challenges of enforcement, particularly on the high seas.

 
Ultimately, this comprehensive analysis offers valuable insights for policymakers, legal scholars, and environmental advocates interested in strengthening marine environmental policy and law.

What Do Bees Think About?

Mathieu Lihoreau

Explore the mind of a bee and learn what drives its behavior. 
 
 
 
Have you ever observed a bee up close and wondered what was going on inside its head? Like ours, insects' brains take up most of the space in their heads, but their brains are smaller than a grain of rice, only 0.0002% as large as ours. But what purpose does the insect brain serve, and how does that drive their creativity, morality, and emotions? 
 
 
 
Bees in particular exhibit unexpected and fascinating cognitive skills. In What Do Bees Think About? animal cognition researcher Mathieu Lihoreau examines a century of research into insect evolution and behavior. He explains recent scientific discoveries, recounts researchers' anecdotes, and reflects on the cognition of these fascinating creatures. Lihoreau's and other scientists' research on insects reinforces the importance of protecting and preserving insects such as bees: after all, our survival on the planet is deeply dependent on theirs. This book provides an eye-opening window into the world of insect cognition and echoes an important ecological message about bees—they are intelligent creatures sharing the same fragile ecosystem as us.
