Sinossi

In "Fabre's Book of Insects," Jean-Henri Fabre masterfully intertwines meticulous observation with poetic prose, exploring the intricacies of entomological life. The book delves into the behavioral patterns, habitats, and ecological roles of various insects, showcasing Fabre's scientific rigor alongside his literary artistry. Written in the late 19th century, it stands as a testament to the burgeoning interest in natural science during a time of rapid industrialization, reflecting both a romantic perspective on nature and a profound appreciation for the unseen world that surrounds us. Fabre's vivid descriptions and engaging anecdotes invite readers into the secret lives of insects, making complex biological concepts accessible and enthralling. Jean-Henri Fabre (1823-1915) was a pioneering French entomologist whose passion for insects was fueled by a lifelong curiosity and a challenging academic background. With little formal education, he sought knowledge through self-directed study, eventually becoming a respected scientist. His commitment to observing insects in their natural environments and documenting their behaviors led him to publish numerous works that blurred the line between scientific inquiry and literary expression. Fabre's deep respect for the natural world and its inhabitants propelled him to communicate these wonders to a broader audience. "Fabre's Book of Insects" is highly recommended for anyone fascinated by nature, as well as for students of literature seeking a unique intersection of science and art. It offers timeless insights into the complex ecosystems that support life on Earth and challenges readers to engage with the wonders of the insect world. This classic work not only enriches our understanding of biology but also inspires a lasting appreciation for the delicate balance of nature.

    From breasts and orgasms to periods, pregnancies, and menopause—A Brief History of the Female Body is a fascinating science book explaining the mysteries of the female body through an evolutionary lens. 
     
     
     
    Let's face it: The female body is an enigma. For teenagers first experiencing their periods, the monthly arrival of mood swings and cramps can be agonizing and inconvenient. With pregnancy—perhaps the most miraculous of bodily events—comes countless potential complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, premature birth, and postpartum depression. And menopause is equally mystifying. Why do females lose their fertility over time and experience the notorious side effects—like hot flashes, weight gain, and hair loss—while males maintain their fertility forever? 
     
     
     
    Evolutionary geneticist and educator Dr. Deena Emera has spent much of her career studying the evolution of female reproduction. A Brief History of the Female Body draws on her vast expertise as a biologist, her experience as a mother of four children, and her love of teaching to look far into our evolutionary past, illuminating how and, more importantly, why the female form has transformed over millions of years and its effects on women's health.

    In recent years, emotions have become a major, vibrant topic of research not merely in the biological and psychological sciences but throughout a wide swath of the humanities and social sciences as well. Yet, surprisingly, there is still no consensus on their basic nature or workings.   Ruth Leys’s brilliant, much anticipated history, therefore, is a story of controversy and disagreement. The Ascent of Affect focuses on the post–World War II period, when interest in emotions as an object of study began to revive. Leys analyzes the ongoing debate over how to understand emotions, paying particular attention to the continual conflict between camps that argue for the intentionality or meaning of emotions but have trouble explaining their presence in non-human animals and those that argue for the universality of emotions but struggle when the question turns to meaning. Addressing the work of key figures from across the spectrum, considering the potentially misleading appeal of neuroscience for those working in the humanities, and bringing her story fully up to date by taking in the latest debates, Leys presents here the most thorough analysis available of how we have tried to think about how we feel.
