Summary

Fog Drinks Plants explores the remarkable adaptations of coastal plants that allow them to thrive by capturing moisture directly from fog. This vital, yet often overlooked, water source plays a critical role in these ecosystems. Understanding the biological mechanisms behind fog interception reveals how specialized leaf structures, like tiny hairs and waxy coatings, enable plants to condense and absorb water from the air, offering a unique insight into plant physiology and water availability in arid landscapes.

 
The book examines the ecological significance of fog, demonstrating its influence on plant distribution, abundance, and overall resilience in water-limited coastal environments. It highlights how these fog-dependent ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to climate change and habitat destruction.

 
Progressing from an introduction to atmospheric water harvesting, the book delves into morphological adaptations, ecological implications, and concludes with a discussion on conservation strategies, offering a comprehensive view of fog's importance. This book stands out by integrating physiological, ecological, and climatological perspectives, presenting a holistic understanding of fog interception.

 
By combining field observations with laboratory analyses, Fog Drinks Plants emphasizes the need to protect these unique ecosystems, making it valuable for both researchers and anyone interested in botany, environmental science, and the intricate relationship between nature and plant adaptations.

    Playing Possum - How Animals...

    When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom. 
 
 
 
With humor and empathy, Susana Monsó tells the stories of ants who attend their own funerals, chimpanzees who clean the teeth of their dead, dogs who snack on their caregivers, crows who avoid the places where they saw a carcass, elephants obsessed with collecting ivory, and whales who carry their dead for weeks. Monsó, one of today's leading experts on animal cognition and ethics, shows how there are more ways to conceive of mortality than the human way, and challenges the notion that the only emotional reactions to death worthy of our attention are ones that resemble our own. 
 
 
 
Blending philosophical insight with new evidence from behavioral science and comparative psychology, Playing Possum dispels the anthropocentric biases that cloud our understanding of the natural world, and reveals that, when it comes to death and dying, we are just another animal.
