Sinossi

Octopus Facts explores the fascinating world of octopuses, focusing on their unique intelligence and adaptive camouflage. These cephalopods showcase problem-solving skills that challenge our understanding of cognition, offering insights into alternative evolutionary pathways to intelligence distinct from vertebrates. Did you know each octopus arm possesses a degree of autonomy? This distributed intelligence allows for complex behaviors and decision-making processes.

 
The book progresses from basic octopus biology to detailed analyses of their cognitive abilities, including learning, memory, and camouflage. It highlights the sophisticated mechanisms octopuses use to change skin color and texture, as well as their capacity for innovative behavior, such as opening jars and navigating mazes.

 
By examining these marine creatures, Octopus Facts delves into the nature of consciousness and the potential for diverse forms of cognition, revealing how octopus-inspired technologies might influence fields like robotics and materials science.

The Age of Loneliness - Essays

Laura Marris

How do we add to archives of ecological memory? How can we notice and document what’s missing in the landscapes closest to us? In her debut essay collection, Laura Marris reframes environmental loss by setting aside the catastrophic framework of the Anthropocene in favor of that of the Eremocene, the age of loneliness, which is marked by the dramatic thinning of wildlife populations and by isolation between and among species. And yet these essays are filled with wonder and vitality, immersing readers in the strange landscapes of the Eremocene, and in the search for home among the human and more-than-human. 
 
Vivid, keenly observed, and driven by a lively intelligence and lyrical voice, The Age of Loneliness is an examination of the dangers of loneliness, the surprising histories of ecological loss, and the ways that community science—which relies on the embodied evidence of “ground truth”—can help us recognize, and maybe even recover, what we’ve learned to live without. 
 
“The Age of Loneliness is a stunning book that will become a close friend, and like all good friends, it will change the shape of our world. Laura Marris has managed that trickiest of feats: she brings the past into the present and reminds us that we’re not yet alone. With prose that calls to mind the best in the tradition of nature writing, but with a voice which is also clearly, distinctly its own, Marris is the writer for our time.”—Daegan Miller

Beekeeping ( Backyard Beekeeping...

Andrew Forrest

Don't Worry BEE HAPPY! Start your Bee colony today !
There are 140,000 beekeepers in the United States keeping 3.2 million beehives. American beekeepers produced 200 million pounds of honey a year. In addition, honey bees pollinate and make possible many of the fruits and vegetables that make up the American diet. In fact, the annual contribution of honey bees to crop pollination and production is over nine billion dollars. But to tell the truth, these are not the reasons why many beekeepers have kept bees. Most keep bees because they enjoy the outdoors. They enjoy helping a young colony grow in spring. They enjoy watching the bees make honey. They enjoy harvesting, bottling, and selling honey as well. If you raise animals or work with wood, grow a garden or have an entrepreneurial spirit, you might be a candidate for beekeeping. You'd be surprised at how gentle they can be, and of the many places where you can keep bees. We'll go ahead and discuss the basics of backyard beekeeping. As an example, we'll set up ten bee hives from scratch--that is with packages of bees in the mail, just like what veteran beekeepers did when they were starting out. This audiobook will help you follow the progress of this bee yard, or apiary, as it matures and develops in to a full blown colony, so you will see what you can expect.
