Beschreibung

In "The Glaciers of the Alps," John Tyndall intricately explores the majestic beauty and scientific significance of Alpine glaciers, employing a blend of vivid descriptive language and empirical observation. Written during the mid-19th century, a period marked by burgeoning interest in the natural sciences and exploration, Tyndall's work seamlessly merges literary artistry with rigorous scientific inquiry. His meticulous accounts of glacial formations, movements, and their implications for understanding geological time offer profound insights, while his engaging narrative style invites readers to marvel at the sublime landscapes of the Alps. John Tyndall (1820-1893), an eminent physicist and alpine mountaineer, was deeply influenced by the intersection of nature and science. His extensive experiences in the Alps not only fueled his passion for geology and physics but also positioned him at the forefront of glaciology.

What a Bee Knows - Exploring the...

Stephen Buchmann

For many of us, the buzzing of a bee elicits panic. But the next time you hear that low droning sound, look closer: the bee has navigated to this particular spot for a reason using a fascinating set of tools. She may be using her sensitive olfactory organs, which provide a 3D scent map of her surroundings. She may be following visual landmarks or instructions relayed by a hive-mate. She may even be tracking electrostatic traces left on flowers by other bees. What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees invites us to follow bees' mysterious paths and experience their alien world. 
 
 
 
Although their brains are incredibly small—just one million neurons compared to humans' one hundred billion—bees have remarkable abilities to navigate, learn, communicate, and remember. In What a Bee Knows, entomologist Stephen Buchmann explores a bee's way of seeing the world and introduces the scientists who make the journey possible. We travel into the field and to the laboratories of noted bee biologists who have spent their careers digging into the questions most of us never thought to ask (for example: Do bees dream? And if so, why?). With each discovery, Buchmann's insatiable curiosity and sense of wonder is infectious.
