Sinossi

Mysterious Creatures explores the fascinating intersection of animal myths and scientific discovery, revealing how creatures once relegated to folklore have transitioned into recognized species. The book examines how cultural biases and limited exploration have historically obscured our understanding of the natural world. For instance, indigenous knowledge often held accurate accounts of animals later "discovered" by Western scientists, highlighting the importance of diverse perspectives in zoology. The journey from myth to reality underscores the ongoing need for open-minded inquiry and challenges preconceived notions about biodiversity.

 
The book's approach combines scientific rigor with engaging storytelling, making complex topics in biology and natural history accessible to a broad audience. It's structured in three parts, beginning with core concepts of cryptozoology and the scientific method, progressing to case studies of animals like the giant panda and okapi, and concluding with a discussion of conservation and ethical considerations.

 
By exploring these elusive animals and the process of animal discovery, the book aims to foster a deeper appreciation for the complexities of the natural world and the importance of conservation efforts in the face of habitat loss and climate change.

The Superluminal Universe -...

Brigitte Dutheil, Régis Dutheil

The Superluminal Universe reveals, for the first time in English, the incredible insights of French quantum physicist Professor Régis Dutheil. Thanks to the development of particle accelerators, physicists are now able to propel particles (tachyons) at a speed close to that of light (300,000 km per second). At these extreme speeds, the laws that govern our universe no longer apply. Professor Dutheil's work has shown that the theory of relativity is not incompatible with that of tachyons, provided that we allow for the possibility of a double reality: that alongside our sub-luminous universe, which follows the law of time, is a superluminal universe. This second reality is another universe, complementary to and symmetrical with ours, governed by superluminal space-time in which light moves 300,000 km/s to infinity. 
 
 
 
In the superluminal universe, everything is instantaneous. It is possible to conceive of a superluminal being capable of moving from one end of space to the other. This parallel universe consists only of information and consciousness: all information (past, present, future) and the consciousness of all humanity. Professor Dutheil's thesis joins the intuitions of ancient philosophers with current quantum physics to blow our current notions of time, of past and present, of the nature of consciousness, of birth and death right out of the water.

Eight Bears - Mythic Past and...

Gloria Dickie

A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face. 
 
 
 
Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known. 
 
 
 
In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear's story, whisking listeners from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts—the head of a rescue center for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China's panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns—to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations.

Parasitology - How These Tiny...

Mike Crawford

Parasites are among the most successful and adaptable organisms on Earth, yet they often go unnoticed. From microscopic protozoa to large intestinal worms, these creatures have evolved remarkable strategies to exploit their hosts for survival. They infiltrate nearly every ecosystem, from the deepest oceans to the highest mountains, shaping the health, behavior, and evolution of countless species, including humans. Despite their negative reputation, parasites play an integral role in maintaining ecological balance, influencing biodiversity, and even driving evolutionary changes.
One of the most astonishing aspects of parasites is their sheer ubiquity. They infect nearly every living organism, from plants and insects to birds and mammals. Some parasites, like malaria-causing Plasmodium, have coexisted with humans for thousands of years, evolving alongside us in an ongoing battle for survival. Others, such as the toxoplasmosis-causing Toxoplasma gondii, subtly manipulate the behavior of their hosts to improve their chances of transmission. The ability of parasites to adapt to new environments and hosts makes them a fascinating subject of study, particularly as climate change and globalization increase their spread.
While parasites are often viewed as destructive, their influence extends far beyond causing disease. Many parasites regulate host populations, preventing overgrowth and maintaining ecological stability. Some even shape the behaviors of their hosts in ways that benefit entire ecosystems.
