Beschreibung

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.

Natural Processes in Textile Art...

Alice Fox

More and more textile artists are using natural processes in their work, from dyeing with rust to working with found and scavenged items, and this book is the first to bring these increasingly popular techniques together. It promotes a way of working creatively with what is close at hand, whether gathered on walks by the seashore or collected in your garden, and working in tune with natural processes, bringing the rhythms and unpredictability of nature into your work.
Examples of this type of working include rust dyeing embroidered fabric to give it a natural patina, dyeing with garden fruits or seaweed, weaving with pieces of beachcombed fibre and printing with found objects. In all of this work nature is directly harnessed to make its mark.
The book is illustrated with the finest examples of contemporary embroidery and textile-art work using nature, by artists whose practice is tied up with their experience of and respect for the natural environment, often capturing a very strong sense of place and a feeling of calmness and contemplation.

‘A lyrical, amiable and educational celebration of what may be our greatest achievement: the chippy.’ Stuart Maconie 
Step inside and unwrap this deliciously entertaining look at Britain’s national dish. 
There is a corner of every town and city in Britain where the air is tangy with vinegar and the scent of frying. Following the irresistible lure, Daniel Gray ponders the magic of chippies and the delights they have sprinkled among us for the last 150 years as he investigates the social – and sociable – history of fish and chips. 
Travelling to chippies from Dundee to Devon via South Shields, Oldham, Bradford, Bethnal Green, the Rhondda Valley and more – Daniel Gray explores our fish-and-chip nation to show how chippies have helped emancipate women, promote equality for immigrants and shape local and national identity. 
Whether you were raised eating scraps of Wolverhampton’s orange chips, London’s ‘wallies’ or Hull’s chip spice – even if you think you know whether tea, Vimto or dandelion and burdock is the best accompaniment – this mouth-watering book is as much about who we are as what we eat. 
In this top non-fiction, Gray takes us on a regional journey through the ethnic corners of Britain, from English chippies to Scottish fry-ups, and Welsh delights. His narratives, as crisp as the chips he describes, serve as essays on cooking, culture, and identity.
