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.

    Open up a world of knitting possibilities with these fun and stylish sock designs using Japanese stitch techniques. In Knitted Socks East and West, author Judy Sumner compares knitting a sock to writing a haiku: both challenge you to create something beautiful and original within a sparse, strict format. In this, her first book, she recounts how she came to study hundreds of exquisite Japanese stitch patters and then apply her new knowledge to the sock designs showcased here. Whether short or long, fine or bulky, simple or complex, each of the 30 designs in Knitted Socks East and West is named after an intriguing aspect of Japanese culture. For example, the leg of the Origami crew socks appears to fold in and out; the Sumo slipper socks are named after the heavy, organic movement of the cables in their thick yarn; and the Ikebana knee socks highlight a textural floral design. Step-by-step text and easy-to-read charts are included for each design, along with illustrated directions for the Japanese stitchwork introduced in the projects.
