Beschreibung

"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.

David Mitchell and Robert Webb tackle various subject matters in a 'How to Cope with…' guide talking you through every day scenarios and situations. The subject matters talked about are 'How to Cope with… Being Normal, Pubs, Being dumped Parts 1 and 2, Coffee, Malmaison Hotels, Nudists, The Smoking Ban, Actors, Servants and Getting Older'.
This recording doesn't need to remind us just how great Mitchell and Webb are as a comedy duo and will by no means need to even attempt at getting the listeners attention once the play button is pressed but will simply show us once more everything we know and love about Mitchell and Webb and why their quirky hilarity and foibles work so well together. For example… How to cope with Actors…Try "not be put off by their luvvie-ness" and "do not assume that all actors are all thick…Stephen Fry is an actor and also a world class boffin. David Mitchell's GCSE results are very impressive".
Mitchell and Webb's How to Cope with... series is a top-rated, short guide that uses the best humour to help you navigate through everyday situations. Their unique comedic approach turns even the most ordinary scenarios into a source of laughter.
For fans of James Acaster (Perfect Sound Whatever), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Philomena Cunk (Cunk on Everything), Haruki Murakami (What I Talk About When I Talk About Running), and Romesh Ranganathan (As Good As It Gets).

Squirrel - How a Backyard...

Nancy F. Castaldo

Squirrels are a common sight, seemingly everywhere in wild and urban nature. But squirrels are more than amusing backyard entertainers, and few of us know much about them or fully appreciate their role in keeping the environment healthy. As stress on the natural world intensifies, should we be paying more attention to the plight of squirrels?In Squirrel, Nancy Castaldo shines new light on this familiar backyard mammal, exploring their staggering diversity and the many surprising ways they shape our world, our communities, and our cultures. Each chapter explores an aspect of squirrels and their close and sometimes fraught association with humans: their importance to myriad ecosystems through sophisticated food-caching strategies; their introduction to nineteenth-century urban parks as adorable ambassadors for nature; their complicated global status as both invasive and endangered; their role as celebrated cultural icons and social media memes; and ultimately, why we must prevent population declines and protect their well-being while we can. Like other wildlife species, squirrels are increasingly stressed by climate change, and their speculative fate may foreshadow our own. The book includes a detailed bibliography, an exhaustive list of squirrel species and their status, and tips for coexisting peaceably with squirrels in our yards and neighborhoods.
