Sinossi

"Flea Superjumps" explores the extraordinary biology of fleas, focusing on their astounding jumping abilities and ecological resilience. It delves into the biomechanics of the flea jump, revealing how these tiny creatures can leap up to 100 times their body length. A key component is resilin, a unique protein that acts like a biological spring, efficiently storing and releasing energy. The book also examines how fleas endure harsh conditions like desiccation, starvation, and temperature extremes, showcasing their remarkable survival strategies.

 
The book presents a comprehensive picture of flea biology, drawing from biomechanical analyses, physiological experiments, and ecological field studies. Starting with an introduction to flea classification and distribution, it progresses to detailed analysis of the jumping mechanism, including resilin and neural control. Subsequent chapters explore survival strategies and the broader implications of flea research, such as bio-inspired design. This approach challenges common perceptions of insects and emphasizes the power of natural selection.

 
"Flea Superjumps" integrates biomechanical and ecological perspectives to provide a holistic understanding of the flea's success in nature. The book highlights the importance of understanding animal adaptations and principles of biomechanics.

    In this, one of the most influential works of the post-Hegelian era, Feuerbach captures the synthesis that emerges from the dialectical process of a transcending Godhead & the rational & material world. In understanding the true nature of what it means to be fully human, he contends that we come face to face with the essence of Xian theology: human beings investing ordinary concepts with divine meaning & significance. The true danger to humanity occurs when theology is given the force of dogma & doctrine. Losing sight of its anthropological underpinnings & dependence upon or emergence from human nature, it then acquires an existence separate from that of humankind. He leaves nothing untouched: miracles, the Trinity, Creation, prayer, resurrection, immortality, faith & much more.The essential nature of manThe essence of religion considered generallyGod as a being of the understandingGod as a moral being or lawThe mystery of the incarnation; or, God as love, as a being of the heartThe mystery of the suffering GodThe mystery of the Trinity & the mother of GodThe mystery of the Logos & divine imageThe mystery of the cosmogonical principle in GodThe mystery of mysticism, or of nature in GodThe mystery of providence & creation out of nothingThe significance of the creation in JudaismThe omnipotence of feeling, or the mystery of prayerThe mystery of faith, the mystery of miracleThe mystery of the resurrection and of the miraculous conceptionThe mystery of the Christian Christ, or the personal GodThe distinction between Christianity & heathenismThe significance of voluntary celibacy & monachismThe Christian heaven, or personal immortalityThe essential standpoint of religionThe contradiction in the existence of GodThe contradiction in the revelation of GodThe contradiction in the nature of God in generalThe contradiction in the speculative doctrine of GodThe contradiction in the TrinityThe contradiction in the sacramentsThe contradiction of faith & loveConcluding application

    To devote oneself to the study of beauty is to offer footnotes to the universe for all the places and all the moments that one observes beauty. I can no longer grab beauty by her wrists and demand articulation or meaning. I can only take account of where things touch.
    Part lyric essay, part prose poetry, Where Things Touch grapples with the manifold meanings and possibilities of beauty.
    Drawing on her experiences as a physician-in-training, Orang considers clinical encounters and how they relate to the concept and very idea of beauty. Such considerations lead her to questions about intimacy, queerness, home, memory, love, and other aspects of human existence. Throughout, beauty is ultimately imagined as something inextricably tied to care: the care of lovers, of patients, of art and literature, and the various non-human worlds that surround us.
    Eloquent and meditative in its approach, beauty, here, beyond base expectations of frivolity and superficiality, is conceived of as a thing to recover. Where Things Touch is an exploration of an essential human pleasure, a necessary freedom by which to challenge what we know of ourselves and the world we inhabit.

    Lovely book of nature written for children by teacher and naturalist Clara Dillingham Pierson. This book in the "Among the People" series explores the animal inhabitants of the meadow and garden. The charming prose shrinks us down and puts us in the fascinating world of the tiny insects, amphibians, and birds who call the field their home. From the author's Introduction: "In selecting the tiny creatures of field and garden for the characters in this book, I have remembered with pleasure the way in which my six loyal pupils befriended stray crickets and grasshoppers, their intense appreciation of the new realm of fancy and observation, and the eagerness and attention with which they sought Mother Nature, the most wonderful and tireless of all story-tellers." - Summary by Clara Dillingham Pierson & Jill Engle
