Synopsis

"Glass Frog Facts" offers a fascinating exploration of one of nature's most remarkable amphibians, whose transparent skin provides a literal window into their internal workings. This comprehensive guide examines how these unique creatures have evolved their extraordinary translucent tissue, which serves as both a masterpiece of biological adaptation and a crucial survival mechanism in their tropical habitats.

 
The book weaves together cutting-edge research from Central and South American rainforests with detailed analyses of glass frog physiology, behavior, and conservation needs. The text progresses logically from fundamental amphibian biology through specialized adaptations, beginning with the groundbreaking first documentation of glass frogs in 1872 and extending to contemporary research findings.

 
Through accessible language and practical examples, readers discover how these fascinating creatures employ their transparency for predator evasion and how their specific habitat requirements contribute to their survival in tropical ecosystems. The integration of microscopic imaging, genetic research, and field studies provides readers with a multi-faceted understanding of these remarkable amphibians.

 
The book's three main sections effectively bridge the gap between technical scientific knowledge and general interest, examining physiological development, behavioral patterns, and conservation challenges. By connecting glass frog biology to broader concepts in chemistry, physics, and environmental science, the text demonstrates how these unique creatures contribute to our understanding of evolutionary adaptation and ecosystem dynamics. This approach makes complex biological concepts accessible while maintaining scientific accuracy, serving both academic and general audiences interested in natural history and conservation.

Illustrated Seamanship -...

Ivar Dedekam

For any sailor, in a yacht or motorboat, the passage from one place to another is relatively easy, particularly with modern navigation equipment. What can be more of a challenge (and a potential source of anxiety for skipper and crew) is the start and end of a passage – how to leave and arrive safely, particularly if it's a cramped marina or crowded anchorage. In Illustrated Seamanship, Ivar Dedekam takes you through the techniques required to achieve a safe departure and arrival. Starting with the fundamentals of ropework he then moves on to manoeuvring, berthing, making fast and then leaving. All types of berthing are covered from coming alongside, stern to, bow to, between finger pontoons and using piles and buoys. There is advice about dealing with different wind and current directions as well as using springs. Ivar then turns to anchoring and offers guidance on setting and weighing anchor in many different circumstances: under sail and under power, using one or two anchors and coping with changes in wind and tide while anchored. You probably won't experience all the scenarios that Ivar so carefully describes, but you will certainly come across quite a few. Knowing what to do when a new situation comes up could be invaluable, increasing your confidence and leading to greater enjoyment and use of your boat. With over 500 diagrams, this slim volume is a perfect reminder of frequently used techniques and could be your get-out-of-jail card when a new circumstance arises. This new edition has an improved layout and the eBook's functionality has been improved significantly.

Futurecide

W. Douglas Smith

Every civilization in history has faced moments of overwhelming existential crises, and they all eventually collapsed. Was this failure inherent in the evolution of civilization, something within the human species, or a combination of both? More importantly, was it predictable and
unavoidable? Most civilizations believed they had a special relationship with the divine and were beyond the laws of nature. Our current economic civilization is now global and interdependent. Today’s economy is responsible for the most rapid mass extinction in Earth’s history. We face imminent catastrophic climate change and environmental disruption, yet the same sense of exceptionalism and hubris clouds humanity’s judgement and ability to act rationally.

Environmental disruption is making the planet uninhabitable. No economy can consume its way out of scarcity. This law of nature conflicts with many longstanding economic theories. Sheltered and self-absorbed elitists promote lies and prey on humanity’s most vulnerable instincts of pecking order, conformity, and obedience to authority. These primal instincts may be maladapted to civilization in its current form. Today’s elitists are choosing mass extinction in a false belief in their own invincibility. To survive, humanity can no longer follow delusional
leaders to self-destruction.

In non-technical language, the author explores common phases in the development of past civilizations, and the critical junctures and decisions that made collapse inevitable. He investigates the linkages and contradictions between human social behavior, the economy, and the environment. In the closing pages, he identifies a clear path to redemption.
