Sinossi

Termite Kings explores the fascinating world of termites, showcasing their remarkable abilities as ecosystem engineers and master builders. The book investigates how these seemingly simple insects create complex architectural marvels, such as towering mounds, that rival human constructions. 

 
Termite colonies exhibit swarm intelligence and collective behavior, constructing elaborate ventilation systems and strategically placing soil and saliva to regulate their environments. The book emphasizes that termite mounds are not just shelters but intricate ecosystems supporting diverse organisms, profoundly influencing soil composition and nutrient cycling.

 
The book progresses from termite biology and social organization to the mechanics of termite architecture. It examines the ecological significance of termite mounds and symbiotic relationships with other organisms. By dissecting termite construction techniques and analyzing colony dynamics, Termite Kings draws interdisciplinary connections, exploring bio-inspired design in engineering and swarm intelligence in robotics. Each chapter builds upon the last, offering a comprehensive view of termite behavior and its implications for various fields of study.

First published in 2001—and of still greater importance today—the 14 chapters are packed with information vital for pet owners and pet professionals the world over.Lonsdale explains how industrial diets devastate the health of pets, how dirty tartar encrusted teeth, sore gums and stinky breath signal the downward spiral of ill-health, suffering and needless trips to the vet. By contrast he shows why dogs and cats crave the ripping, tearing and crunching on raw meaty bones—Nature’s miracle treatment and preventative. It’s the tough, chewy texture of the food that imparts the medicinal benefits. And providing your pet does enough ripping and tearing its teeth will be clean, gums healthy and breath sweet. The resultant benefits for the immune system, heart, liver, lungs and kidneys are enormous—one happy, contented pet.   Raw Meaty Bones makes no apology, it reveals a veterinary profession lost without a moral compass beholden to the multi-national pet food companies. It provides the foundations for a pet health revolution—with enormous cost savings for pet owners and benefits for the natural environment worth $billions.If you own a pet, or know someone who does, this book’s for you.

    A Call to Life aims to help veterinary caregivers increase self-efficacy, decrease unnecessary suffering, and increase sustainability in their mission to support animal health around the world. The veterinary profession is powered by dedicated, bright, and selfless individuals. Unfortunately, the long-standing and dysfunctional culture in classrooms and practices around the world expects veterinary caregivers to be ready to sacrifice everything in the name of being deemed qualified and 'worthy.' 
     
     
     
    Integrating real-life stories from a range of veterinary caregivers with evidence-based theory, practical activities, discussion and reflection points, and insights drawn from the author's own experiences, the book empowers veterinarians by showing that they have the ability and the control to choose a healthier way forward for themselves and their profession. It describes how to: normalize the conversation around mental and emotional health challenges in caregiving environments; discuss and collaboratively create systemic solutions that promote healthier 'ecosystems' for vets to work within; develop the skills of reframing, mindfulness, and self-care strategy implementation supporting holistic veterinary well-being; and collectively choose to shift the framework of professional conversations towards psychological safety, optimism, and purpose-driven experiences.

    Twice declared extinct, North America's most endangered mammal species, the black-footed ferret (BFF), is making a comeback thanks to an evolving conservation regimen at more than thirty reintroduction sites across the continent. Lawrence Lenhart lingers at one such site in his proverbial backyard, the Aubrey Valley in northern Arizona. 
     
     
     
    The beguiling weasel at the center of this book is more than a charismatic minifauna; it is the covert ambassador of a critical ecosystem that has dwindled to one percent of its former size. In a landscape menaced by habitat fragmentation, bacterial plague, settler colonialism, and soil death, a ferret must be resilient. Lenhart investigates the human efforts to sustain the species through monitoring, vaccination, captive breeding, and even cloning. 
     
     
     
    Lenhart balances this lens of environmental witness with personal essaying that captures the parallel story of his wife's pregnancy as he realizes the ferret's conservation story is dramatically synchronized with her trimesters. In preparing to raise a child in the Anthropocene, Lenhart takes stock of his own ecosystem and finds something is amiss. Through an ethic of "deeper ecology," Lenhart must hone his ecological interest in the black-footed ferret to assure it isn't overshadowed by his own paternal interests.

    The History of Ideology: Beyond AI Capitalism, takes listeners on a sweeping journey through humanity’s economic evolution - from primitive tribes and feudal empires to industrial capitalism and the rise of global markets. As AI and automation erase millions of jobs, the foundations of our economic system begin to crumble.

    This audiobook is part history, part manifesto and part roadmap for the future. It will challenge your assumptions, inspire your imagination and help you see why the end of capitalism can be the beginning of something better.

    In the 1960's, California's Yosemite Valley was the center of the rock-climbing universe. Young nonconformists—many of them the finest rock climbers in the world—channeled their energy toward the largely untouched walls and cracks. Soon climbers from around the globe were coming to Camp 4—gathering spot for the creators of the Golden Age of Yosemite climbing—to see what all the fuss was about. 
     
     
     
    Climber and author Steve Roper spent most of ten years living in the Yosemite Valley with its intriguing inhabitants. Camp 4 is his take on the era's top climbers and the influences behind their achievements. The text is full of stories both hilarious and revealing about the likes of bolt-disdaining Royal Robbins; fun-loving, big-wall expert Warren Harding; free-climber Frank Sacherer; multi-talented Chuck Pratt; master craftsman Yvon Chouinard; and ill-fated Mark Powell. Roper also tips his hat to the elder statesmen of the 1930s and 1940s who pioneered early, important climbs in the valley. 
     
     
     
    Camp 4 looks at the most significant climbs, and the most riveting controversies of a legendary era. Camp 4 is the definitive history of Yosemite climbing during this period.
