Sinopse

Cave Diving delves into the captivating world of underwater caves, blending Earth Sciences Geography and Adventure to uncover the mysteries hidden beneath the surface. These submerged environments offer unique insights into geological formations created through karstification and tectonic activity, acting as time capsules that preserve paleontological records and even traces of early human activity.

 
The book showcases the extreme environments and challenges faced by divers, while also highlighting the scientific discoveries made in these largely unexplored realms. Exploring cave ecosystems reveals unique adaptations of cave-dwelling organisms and the delicate balance within these subterranean habitats. Divers employ specialized diving techniques and equipment, including closed-circuit rebreather technologies, navigating confined spaces under immense pressure.

 
The book progresses from explaining the geomorphology of cave systems to examining human interaction, detailing the development of cave diving techniques and safety protocols. This book uniquely combines scientific rigor with compelling storytelling, avoiding sensationalism and instead focusing on the meticulous work of scientists and divers.

 
Cave Diving culminates with an examination of the environmental challenges facing these fragile ecosystems, emphasizing the importance of responsible exploration and cave conservation. It presents diverse perspectives and encourages readers to consider the ethical implications of exploring and documenting these pristine systems.

    From ants scurrying under leaf litter to bees able to fly higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, insects are everywhere. Three out of every four of our planet's known animal species are insects. In The Insect Crisis, Oliver Milman dives into the torrent of recent evidence that suggests this kaleidoscopic group of creatures is suffering the greatest existential crisis in its remarkable 400-million-year history. What is causing the collapse of the insect world? And what can be done to stem the loss of the miniature empires that hold aloft life as we know it? 
     
     
     
    Milman explores this hidden emergency, arguing that its consequences could even rival climate change. He joins the scientists tracking the decline of insect populations across the globe, including the mountains of Mexico that host an epic, yet dwindling, migration of monarch butterflies; the verdant countryside of England that has been emptied of insect life; the gargantuan fields of US agriculture that have proved a killing ground for bees; and an offbeat experiment in Denmark that shows there aren't that many bugs splattering into your car windshield these days. These losses not only further tear at the tapestry of life on our degraded planet; they imperil everything we hold dear, from the food on our supermarket shelves to the medicines in our cabinets to the riot of nature that thrills and enlivens us.

    An engaging exploration of the wondrous social webs that permeate life in animal societies around the world. 
     
     
     
    It's all about who you know. Whether vampire bats sharing blood meals for survival, field crickets remembering champion fighters, macaque monkeys forming grooming pacts after a deadly hurricane, or great tit birds learning the best way to steal milk—it pays to be well connected. 
     
     
     
    In this tour of the animal kingdom, evolutionary biologist Lee Alan Dugatkin reveals a new field of study, uncovering social networks that existed long before the dawn of human social media. He accessibly describes the latest findings from animal behavior, evolution, computer science, psychology, anthropology, genetics, and neurobiology, and incorporates interviews and insights from researchers he finds swimming with manta rays, avoiding pigeon poop, and stopping monkeys from stealing iPads. With Dugatkin as our guide, we investigate social networks in giraffes, elephants, kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, whales, bats, and more. From animal networks in Australia and Asia to Africa, Europe, and the Americas, The Well-Connected Animal is an eye-opening exposé of wild friends, enemies, and everything in between.
