Synopsis

"Praying Mantis" explores the fascinating world of these insects, revealing how their unique sensory perception and predatory behavior make them evolutionary marvels. The book dives into the insect biology of mantises, highlighting their hunting strategies and adaptations. Discover how mantises can perceive depth with a single eye and capture prey much larger than themselves, showcasing the complexity of insect vision and predator-prey relationships. 

 
The book examines three core themes: sensory perception, biomechanics, and ecological role, presenting data from anatomy analyses, high-speed video, and experimental studies. It builds its argument upon established biological research in entomology, neurobiology, and biomechanics. Beginning with morphology and sensory biology, the book progresses to the biomechanics of the mantis's predatory strike and its role within the ecosystem. Readers will gain insights into evolutionary adaptation and the intricate dance between predator and prey.

 
This book emphasizes the mantis as an example of evolutionary optimization, perfect for students, nature enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the insect world. The book’s approach is fact-based and accessible, making complex concepts understandable through clear explanations and examples. The book also touches on applications in robotics and engineering, drawing inspiration from mantis predatory skills.

    Eastern Han Dynasty - Rebuilding...

    The Eastern Han Dynasty emerged from the chaos and turmoil that followed the collapse of Wang Mang’s Xin Dynasty. After usurping the Han throne in 9 CE, Wang Mang attempted radical reforms, including land redistribution and changes to the currency system. However, his policies destabilized the empire, leading to widespread discontent, natural disasters, and peasant uprisings. Among these, the most significant was the Red Eyebrows Rebellion, which contributed to the downfall of Wang Mang’s rule. In 23 CE, rebel forces stormed the capital, Chang’an, killing Wang Mang and leaving the empire in a state of disarray. 
    In the wake of this collapse, Liu Xiu, a distant relative of the former Han imperial family, seized the opportunity to restore Han rule. He first distinguished himself as a military leader, defeating rival factions and consolidating power. In 25 CE, he declared himself Emperor Guangwu and established the Eastern Han Dynasty, with Luoyang as its new capital. Unlike the Western Han, which had ruled from Chang’an, the relocation of the capital symbolized a fresh start, one that aimed to correct the failures of the past. 
    Emperor Guangwu’s early reign was marked by efforts to stabilize the empire and reestablish Han authority. He adopted a cautious approach to governance, reducing taxes and reviving Confucian principles to strengthen the legitimacy of his rule. Unlike Wang Mang’s drastic policies, Guangwu relied on gradual reforms to restore economic stability. He also worked to rebuild the imperial bureaucracy, appointing competent officials who could help him govern effectively. By reinforcing Confucianism as the guiding philosophy of the state, he sought to restore order and unity among the people.

    A revelatory and wide-ranging exploration of HMS Britannic—her life at sea and on the seabed—by the owner of her wreck. 
     
     
     
    Launched in 1914, two years after the ill-fated voyage of her sister ship, RMS Titanic, the Britannic was intended to be superior to her tragic twin in every way. But war intervened and in 1915 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship. Just one year later, while on her way to collect troops wounded in the Balkans campaign, she fell victim to a mine laid by a German U-boat and tragically sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea. 
     
     
     
    There her wreck lay, at a depth of 400 feet, until it was discovered fifty-nine years later by legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. In 1996 the wreck was bought by the author of this book, Simon Mills. 
     
     
     
    Exploring the Britannic tells the complete story of this enigmatic ship: her construction, launch and life, her fateful last voyage, and the historical findings resulting from the exploration of the well-preserved wreck over a period of forty years. This book finally details how the mysteries surrounding the 100-year-old enigma were laid to rest, and what the future might also hold for her.
