Beschreibung

Sea Glows Blue explores the captivating world of bioluminescent plankton blooms, those mesmerizing displays of light in coastal waters. These blooms aren't just beautiful; they're vital indicators of the health of marine ecosystems. 

 
The book reveals how these tiny organisms create light through a biochemical reaction, and how factors like nutrient availability and water temperature influence bloom formation. Understanding these blooms is crucial, as changes in their frequency and intensity can signal environmental shifts such as pollution or climate change.

 
The book progresses from the basic biology of bioluminescent plankton to their ecological roles and sensitivity to environmental stressors. Case studies from diverse coastal regions highlight unique bloom characteristics and local influencing factors.

 
By integrating biological, ecological, and environmental perspectives, Sea Glows Blue offers a holistic view of these phenomena. Ultimately, this book emphasizes the importance of monitoring these blooms for effective coastal management and conservation. It presents data gathered from scientific research, including satellite imagery and oceanographic surveys, to provide a comprehensive understanding of these spectacular natural events.

East West - A Guide to Where...

Mark Fram, Nancy Byrtus, Michael...

Let's say you want to know which famous Canadian poet lived in the Waverley Hotel for seven years, constantly changing rooms in fear of RCMP bugs. Or you live at 44 Walmer and want to know what on earth they were thinking with those balconies. Or you want to know what's behind (or underneath!) that giant O hanging over Harbord at Spadina. These things were troubling us, too, so we assembled East/West: A Guide to Where People Live in Downtown Toronto.
   
East/West is a guided tour of old stories and fresh perspectives on the architecture and planning of housing and urban development in central Toronto – including both success stories and perennial problems. With specially prepared maps and over 120 photos, and essays – written by 65 of our best architects, historians and planners – exploring the history and development of neighbourhoods and of the individual buildings within them, East/West is a portrait of Toronto like no other.
   
East/West is not your average city guide. It'll take you down alleyways you've never heard of, show you buildings you've never seen, offer you that bit of history you've never been able to access. It tells you how Toronto has tried to house the homeless over the years, how the waterfront evolved (or devolved, depending on how you look at it), and the character of different neighbourhoods has changed. FromAnnex abodes to Rosedale residences, this book will introduce you to a Toronto you only thought you knew.

ABOUT THE FILM
"The Silence of the Lambs" is a 1991 psychological horror-thriller directed by Jonathan Demme. The film follows FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), who is tasked with interviewing the imprisoned cannibalistic serial killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). Starling seeks Lecter's help to catch another serial killer, "Buffalo Bill," who is abducting women. As Starling and Lecter form an uneasy connection, she delves into the disturbing psychology of both killers. The film explores themes of power, manipulation, and the darkness of the human mind, blending crime investigation with psychological tension and horror. It remains a highly influential film in the thriller genre.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“Sir Anthony Hopkins based his portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecter on a friend in London who never blinked while speaking, which unnerved anyone around him.”
“Jodie Foster spent a lot of time with real-life FBI agent Mary Ann Krause to prepare for her role as Clarice Starling. Krause inspired the scene in which Starling stands beside her car crying, suggesting it as an emotional release from the overwhelming pressures of her work.”
“The real FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit assisted with the film, ensuring its portrayal of the FBI's profiling work was accurate.”
“The production received full cooperation from the FBI, who saw the film as a potential recruitment tool to attract more female agents.”

Ellen Zachos

In this beautifully illustrated book that's Song of Achilles meets Secret Life of Trees, readers will discover the plants cultivated by the Greek Gods–many of which can still be experimented with today–for a myriad of uses.  In Greek mythology, plants were used for tools, intoxication, warfare, food, medicine, magic, and rituals. When Prometheus stole fire from the Olympian gods and gave it to mankind, he hid it in a stalk of giant fennel. Ancient Greeks waiting to question the oracles were given cannabis as part of their cleansing rituals. A quince fruit started the Trojan war. The goddess Demeter was so distraught when Hades kidnapped her daughter that she caused winter to blanket the earth, killing all plants. Mythic Plants focuses on how the ancient Greeks used plants in their lives and loves and conquests—some of which we can still use. Includes tips throughout for bringing these ancient plants into your garden.
