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.

    The issue of Cybersecurity is of paramount importance in the digital age. With near-continuous revelations about incidents and breaches in the media, organizations and individuals are faced with the challenge of finding the balance between risk, innovation, and cost. At the same time, the field of cybersecurity is undergoing dramatic changes, demanding that organizations embrace new practices and skill sets. 
      
    In this book, I will explore the basics of Cybersecurity and discuss how ordinary people and organizations can best ensure the safety and security of their data. By examining numerous studies, reports, and surveys, I will argue that organizations must embrace a comprehensive approach to cyber security that considers the ever-changing nature of the threat landscape. In the following chapters, it explains the fundamentals of Cybersecurity, and then discuss several case studies on the more prominent security breaches in the last few years to show what can happen to a business.

    Medical laboratory testing is a vital medical procedure that allows for the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. 
    More often than not, these tests are making the difference between life and death, and they are one of the first defense lines that protect patients and their general well-being. 
    Laboratory results greatly influence almost every decision regarding a patient – diagnosis, treatment, hospital admission, and discharge – all of them. That's why it's crucial to understand and learn how to conduct and order these tests efficiently. 
    This guide is written from a skilled nurse's personal experience so that you can have easy access to all essential testing procedures at all times. Organized the way a nurse thinks, up-to-date, and easy to navigate. 
    Perfect when you are in a rush and have no time to search for the information you need—an excellent choice for medical students and doctors, not just nurses. 
    This book contains step-by-step guides on choosing the correct procedure (that depends on the anamnesis), tips on preparing the patient for the procedure, and expert information for accurate interpretation of results.

    Fungi are everywhere. Most are harmless; some are helpful. A few are killers. Collectively, infectious fungi are the most devastating agents of disease on earth, and a fungus that can persist in the environment without its host is here to stay. In Blight, Emily Monosson documents how trade, travel, and a changing climate are making us all more vulnerable to invasion. Populations of bats, frogs, and salamanders face extinction. In the Northwest, America's beloved national parks are covered with the spindly corpses of whitebark pines. Food crops are under siege, threatening our coffee, bananas, and wheat—and, more broadly, our global food security. Candida auris, drug-resistant and resilient, infects hospital patients and those with weakened immune systems. Coccidioides, which lives in drier dusty regions, may cause infection in apparently healthy people. 
     
     
     
    Yet prevention is not impossible. Tracing the history of fungal spread and the most recent discoveries in the field, Monosson meets scientists who are working tirelessly to protect species under threat, and whose innovative approaches to fungal invasion have the potential to save human lives. Blight serves as a wake-up call, a reminder of the delicate interconnectedness of the natural world, and a lesson in seeing life on our planet with renewed humility and awe.

    We live in a world built by fire and wrapped in plastic — a planet reshaped by our own invention. From the first flicker of flame to the glow of the digital screen, humanity’s genius has transformed the Earth’s systems in ways no species has ever done before. 
    In The Age of Fire and Plastic, Alex Southwick traces the story of the Anthropocene — the era in which humans became a geological force. Through vivid storytelling and sharp insight, Southwick reveals how our tools of progress — oil, metal, concrete, and polymer — have left indelible marks in the air, sea, and soil. 
    But this is not merely a tale of ruin. It’s also a meditation on what it means to live consciously in a world of our own making. How do we find awe, responsibility, and meaning when the natural and artificial are now one and the same? 
    Sweeping in scope yet deeply personal, The Age of Fire and Plastic is an essential journey through humanity’s defining century — and a call to shape the next one with intention rather than accident.
