Sinossi

"Plant Survival Tricks" unveils the fascinating world of plant adaptation, exploring how vegetation thrives in Earth's most extreme environments through sophisticated survival mechanisms. This comprehensive exploration takes readers on a journey from the frozen Arctic tundra to scorching deserts, revealing how plants act as innovative problem-solvers rather than passive organisms in the face of environmental challenges.The book masterfully weaves together two centuries of botanical research, presenting three fundamental aspects of plant survival: physiological adaptations, structural modifications, and chemical defense mechanisms. Readers discover intriguing examples, such as how succulents restructure their cells for water storage and how mangroves regulate salt in coastal environments. These complex biological concepts are presented through clear diagrams, detailed photographs, and engaging case studies, making the content accessible while maintaining scientific accuracy.Moving systematically through four major sections, the book progresses from basic plant biology to specific extreme environments, then delves into the molecular and genetic foundations of adaptation, before concluding with practical applications in agriculture and conservation. By incorporating research from six continents and connecting botanical science with climate studies and evolutionary biology, the text offers valuable insights for both scientific professionals and educated general readers interested in understanding how plants adapt and survive in challenging conditions.

    Me & Naughty Fridays is a heartwarming, hilarious, and occasionally chaotic celebration of sisterhood, salad, and the sacred art of showing up—preferably with wine. 
    In this memoir-style collection of Friday night shenanigans, Kerry Anne Boer invites you into the kitchen, onto the couch, and sometimes under the table, where laughter echoes louder than logic and the tassie oak dining table bears witness to everything from meticulous Greek salads to impromptu dance-offs. 
    Born from the beautiful mess of real life—raising kids, rescuing dogs, forgetting sports bras, and dealing with grief in unexpected ways—this is the story of four sisters navigating adulthood with wit, wine, and unwavering loyalty. 
    Told through Kerry Anne’s signature blend of humor, heart, and honesty, Me & Naughty Fridays captures those sacred, slightly unruly moments when everything falls apart and comes together all at once. 
    Because sometimes, healing happens between mouthfuls of tomato and white balsamic dressing… especially when you’ve forgotten dessert but remembered the wine. 
    Perfect for readers who love: 
    ✔️ Real-life stories with soul and sass 
    ✔️ Found-family feels and sisterly chaos 
    ✔️ A good cry, a better laugh, and a bit of both at the same time

    In many ways, Charles Lindbergh represented the best and worst of America during the first half of the 20th century. Lindbergh became famous for being an aviation pioneer whose solo flight across the Atlantic captured the imagination of an entire world, yet he was an isolationist who wanted to keep American freedoms safe for Americans and no one else. Lindbergh was the quintessential family man, yet he fathered illegitimate children and suffered an unspeakable tragedy that became known as “The Crime of the Century.” Lindbergh embodied some of his era’s greatest virtues and harbored some of its worst prejudices.  
    Lindbergh was a 25 year old U.S. Air Mail pilot who was probably best known for two crashes before shooting to fame with his non-stop flight across the Atlantic from New York City to Paris on May 20-21, 1927. Lindbergh was Time Magazine’s first Man of the Year in 1927, and he used his newfound fame to promote the development of commercial flight and become a spokesman and symbol for advances in aviation.  
    In 1928, Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, but she was disappointed that she had to do so as a passenger, complaining, “I was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes.” But by the mid-1930s, Earhart had set a multitude of altitude and distance records, but she wanted to attempt a circumnavigation of the world. After an ill-fated first attempt, Earhart and Fred Noonan set off on another attempt, creating one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries. Earhart and Noonan were to land on Howland Island, 1700 miles southwest of Hawaii, but radio transmissions ceased between the plane and authorities on the ground the morning of July 2, 1937. Earhart and Noonan had disappeared, never to be seen again, despite one of the nation’s largest and costliest manhunts to date.  
    The speculation over exactly what happened to Earhart and the mystery of her disappearance remain.

    At the dawn of the twentieth century, José Cuervo inherited his family's humble distillery, La Rojeña, in the Tequila Valley. Within a decade, it would become Mexico's leading producer of tequila. But when the Mexican Revolution erupted, a charge of treason and a death threat against him by Pancho Villa forced Cuervo to flee. His disappearance turned him into an obscure, shadowy historical figure. 
     
     
     
    In Tequila Wars, award-winning author Ted Genoways restores Cuervo to his place as a key player in Mexico's formative period. Before the revolution, Cuervo's acclaim spread worldwide, and once war broke out, Cuervo remained an impresario, kingmaker, and cultural force. In the face of his own government's corruption and the nationalism of his northern neighbors, Cuervo reached American drinkers by establishing Mexico’s covert form of cross-border commerce with the United States. As the largest and most important distilleries in the Tequila Valley recognized the threat posed by Mexico's unraveling, Cuervo also lobbied for suspending normal competition in favor of "a union of tequila makers"—what would become the first Mexican cartel. 
     
     
     
    The first biography of Cuervo, Tequila Wars uncovers the history of the man who would forever change not only the business of tequila, but international relations between Mexico and the United States.

    The concept of canine consent is far more than simply a buzzword in modern dog training practices. In its current form, consent is a distinctly human concept, designed by humans and for humans. Looking beyond species boundaries can help us not only consider concepts of canine consent and autonomy, but it can also help us to apply these concepts in our everyday interactions with dogs, which is fundamental for any professional working with dogs as well as for everyday dog caregivers. This canine-indexed definition of consent includes a model of five major categories: Touch/interaction-based consent, cooperative care using learned consent behaviors, activity consent, consent-based learning, and substitutive consent. These categories involve a two-way communication system, integration of salient choices, teaching consent behaviors and incorporating existing training protocols that adhere to the Humane Hierarchy of best practices, and an evaluation of dependent decision-making in extenuating circumstances. This book aims to merge the existing literature and new understandings about canine consent to paint a complete picture. It will challenge the current expectations of dogs and dog behavior in our society with an intention of considering their perspectives, experiences, and emotional needs.
