Synopsis

Camouflage Masters explores the fascinating world of animal camouflage, a survival strategy honed by evolution and natural selection. This book investigates how creatures like chameleons and stick insects use disguise to hunt and evade predators, highlighting the intricate predator-prey interactions that shape biodiversity. Camouflage is not just trickery; it's a dynamic adaptation, with some species changing color in milliseconds to match their environments, while others mimic inedible objects like bird droppings to avoid detection.

 
The book examines the mechanisms, evolutionary pressures, and various types of camouflage, offering a holistic understanding by integrating ecological, evolutionary, and sensory perspectives. It progresses from basic principles to major camouflage strategies like background matching and disruptive coloration. The book also considers the sensory ecology of camouflage, emphasizing how animals perceive their surroundings.

 
By delving into visual perception and the ongoing arms race between camouflage and detection, Camouflage Masters provides insights into animal behavior, ecology, and the ingenuity of nature.

Poppy State - A Labyrinth of...

Myriam Gurba

From the award-winning author of Creep comes a powerful book by a writer at the peak of her powers—at once a love letter to California and a literary tour de force that tells the story of resilience and reclamation through a relationship with plants, memory, myth, and indigenous knowledge. Myriam Gurba has lived in California her entire life, with its plants and soils, forests and ecology, immersing herself in the language of the landscape as refracted through the languages and memories of her ancestors. In Poppy State, California plants serve as structural anchors in a wildly inventive work of narrative nonfiction that is part botanical criticism, part personal storytelling, and part study of place. The reader is invited to commune with California with Gurba as their guide, ushered through a compendium of anecdotes, reminiscences, utterances, lists, incantations, newspaper articles, and other ephemera. Through the stories of these plants she comes to a new understanding of what occurs in the cultivation of a soul. Gurba learns if she can care for her body as she does her plants, her soul can thrive—like the California poppy on her kitchen windowsill. And through walks in the Angeles National Forest, she visits oaks, crows, elderberries, and sycamores, while foraging for acorns, flowers, and berries to adorn her altar at home. Poppy State is a riveting tour de force.“The mother of intersectional Latinx identity.” —Cosmopolitan "Scorchingly good."—Cheryl Strayed “The most fearless writer in America.” —Luis Alberto Urrea, Pulitzer Prize finalist  "A truly distinctive, authentic, and dynamic literary voice. . . Myriam Gurba is one of our great American intellectuals." —Los Angeles Times
