Sinossi

Firefly Bioluminescence explores the captivating phenomenon of light production in fireflies, revealing the intricate blend of biochemical reactions and evolutionary biology that underlies this natural spectacle. Delving into the science of fireflies, the book highlights how these insects use bioluminescence for species communication, primarily to attract mates. Surprisingly, the efficiency of light production in fireflies is nearly 100%, far surpassing that of incandescent light bulbs. Beginning with a historical overview of bioluminescence research, the book moves into detailed examinations of the luciferin-luciferase reaction and the ecological significance of flash patterns. Did you know that each firefly species has a unique flash pattern, acting as a species-specific signal? The book progresses from the biochemical foundations of bioluminescence to its ecological roles and evolutionary origins, providing a multifaceted analysis of this fascinating adaptation. It examines how variations in flash patterns and light colors reflect adaptations for species recognition and reproductive success, making it valuable for those interested in entomology and insect physiology. The book uniquely combines biochemical assays, field observations, and phylogenetic analyses to present a comprehensive understanding of firefly bioluminescence. It not only explains the underlying mechanisms but also discusses potential applications in biotechnology and environmental monitoring, alongside conservation challenges. The approach is designed to provide a readily adaptable foundation for students and researchers, making it an invaluable resource for anyone studying biology, zoology, or biochemistry.

    A celebrated food writer's expansive, audacious excavation of the development of modern queer identity and food culture. 
     
     
     
    Food in America and Europe has long been shaped, twisted, and upended by queer creatives. Beloved food writer John Birdsall fills the gap between the past and present, channeling the twin forces of criticism and cultural history to propel readers into the kitchens, restaurants, swirling party-houses, and humming interior lives of James Baldwin, Alice B. Toklas, Truman Capote, Esther Eng, and others who left an indelible mark on the culinary world from the margins. Queer food is brunch quiche à la Craig Claiborne, Richard Olney's ecstatic salade composée, and Rainbow Ice-Box Cake from Ernest Matthew Mickler's White Trash Cooking. It's the intention surrounding a meal, the circumstances behind it, the people gathered around the table. 
     
     
     
    With cinematic verve and prose that dazzles, What Is Queer Food? is a monumental work: a testament to food's essential link to a modern queerness that reveals how, like fashion or tastes in music, food has become a language of LGBTQ+ identity.

You will cook your own edible crafts, from a Crafty Candle Salad to Sugar Skulls, with many more recipes and craft ideas that will inspire you to create your very own hastily constructed obscure d'arts.Praise for Simple Times  "Amy Sedaris is a kookier, kitschier version of Martha Stewart...Simple Times is an ideal gift for the crafter who has crafted everything." - Associated Press"A wildly cheeky guide." -- InStyle  "For anyone who's ever collected hats crocheted together...or simply for fans of Amy Sedaris and her idiosyncratic sense of humor." -- New York Times Book Review
