  Playing Possum - How Animals...

  When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom. 
   
   
   
  With humor and empathy, Susana Monsó tells the stories of ants who attend their own funerals, chimpanzees who clean the teeth of their dead, dogs who snack on their caregivers, crows who avoid the places where they saw a carcass, elephants obsessed with collecting ivory, and whales who carry their dead for weeks. Monsó, one of today's leading experts on animal cognition and ethics, shows how there are more ways to conceive of mortality than the human way, and challenges the notion that the only emotional reactions to death worthy of our attention are ones that resemble our own. 
   
   
   
  Blending philosophical insight with new evidence from behavioral science and comparative psychology, Playing Possum dispels the anthropocentric biases that cloud our understanding of the natural world, and reveals that, when it comes to death and dying, we are just another animal.

  Genetics - The Invisible World...

  Microbiology is the branch of science that deals with the study of microorganisms, which are organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, and protozoa. Although these tiny life forms are invisible to the unaided eye, they play a vital role in the environment, human health, and various industrial processes. The field of microbiology encompasses a broad range of topics, from the structure and function of microorganisms to their interactions with humans, animals, plants, and the environment. 
    
  One of the primary aspects of microbiology is understanding the diversity of microorganisms. Bacteria, for example, are among the most abundant and diverse organisms on Earth. They exist in numerous environments, from the human body to extreme habitats like hot springs and deep-sea vents. Viruses, on the other hand, are unique in that they cannot replicate on their own and require a host cell to reproduce. Fungi and protozoa, while distinct from bacteria, also contribute significantly to ecosystems and human health, with some acting as pathogens and others playing key roles in decomposition and nutrient cycling. 
    
  The study of microbiology is crucial for several reasons. Microorganisms are central to processes such as digestion, fermentation, and the nitrogen cycle. They are also responsible for many diseases, which makes understanding their biology essential for developing effective treatments and preventive measures. Advances in microbiology have led to the discovery of antibiotics, vaccines, and other life-saving technologies. Additionally, microbiology has applications in biotechnology, where microorganisms are used in the production of food, medicines, and biofuels, as well as in environmental management through processes like bioremediation.
