Sinopsis

"Tiny Giants" reveals the astounding capabilities of arthropods – insects, spiders, and their kin – demonstrating how these creatures thrive despite their small size. Exploring biomechanics, neurobiology, and social organization, the book uncovers their secrets to strength, speed, and complex group behaviors. For example, arthropods' exoskeletons enable feats of strength, and their nervous systems allow them to process information with surprising speed. 

 
The book explores how these tiny creatures offer insights into biology, engineering, and social science. Arthropods' compact size and rapid life cycles make them ideal models for research, allowing scientists to observe evolution in action. From the physics of insect flight to the communication strategies of ant colonies, each chapter builds upon the last, providing a comprehensive overview of arthropod biology and its potential applications, such as informing the design of miniature robots. 

 
The book progresses from discussing the diversity of arthropods to exploring the biomechanics of movement, the intricacies of their sensory systems, and the complexities of social organization. Concluding with real-world applications, "Tiny Giants" showcases how studying these tiny creatures can inspire technological innovations and a deeper understanding of social systems.

Cannabis and the Christian -...

Todd Miles

What does the Bible say about marijuana? If it doesn’t directly address marijuana, how can Christians know what to make of the legalization of recreational cannabis and the advocacy of medical marijuana?  In the past, Christians could easily answer the question of whether or not it was permissible to use cannabis by deferring to state prohibitions. We could simply say, “it’s against the law.” Today, that answer is no longer possible. Christians are now forced to do what they should have been doing all along: Think like disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring to bear the wisdom of the sufficient Word of God.   Since cannabis is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, we must understand what it is and how it affects the user. We also must understand what the Bible says about discipleship, healing, suffering, and what it is to be human. Only then can we answer the critical questions regarding the recreational use and the medical use of cannabis.  In Cannabis and the Christian, Todd Miles gives listeners:  Biblical wisdom applied to the question of recreational cannabis  Biblical wisdom related to the medical use of cannabis  A grid to think through other ethical questions that aren’t directly addressed in the Bible  Confidence to respond to challenging issues standing on the sufficient Word of God

Dogman

Rohan Everingham

Well known current affairs investigator David Chase nick-named 'the axe' from popular segment  
'Cut to the Chase' has been on the tail of a murderer who was released from jail after killing a  
man but who claims he was a wolf man at the time. A good old fashioned right-wing 'moral  
outrage sensationalist' field-operative, Chase doesn't like what he sees happening to the news  
world around him - especially at his long-standing conservative TV Network, CNT (we missed 'u') , which, under the spinning eye of Veronica Fox, is reverting to myth making, 'false facts' and disinformation.  
Chase feels his expiration date is closing in as he tries to keep traditional gutsy tabloid antics  
front and center. He gets his chance to bribe Ted Victor the self-alleged 'wolf man of Wirrawee'  
in for a live interview... and to show real guts - on the crest of a full moon. Veronica Fox can't  
help but get her magic wand spinning and tries molding it all for the alt-right, while Chase  
desperately clings onto his authority as a 'common sense' conservative reporter. The world  
comes to a standstill as Ted and Chase go face-to-face in an event billed as the next tabloid  
'Frost versus Nixon' - left activists surround the building and the recipe is set for an outlandish  
denouement...
