Beschreibung

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 must-read for anyone who loves dogs.' – Rory Cellan-Jones 
    This book explores what every dog owner knows – that a dog is never just a dog.  
    They are our companions, best friends, members of the family and for some the most important part of our lives. 
    Our ability to make meaningful connections with other animal species and their ability to return the favour is, perhaps, never more beautiful than the bond we have with dogs. 
    Simon Wooler, trainer to Sophie from Romania, social media’s most famous fearful canine, unlocks the heart of the special relationship we have with dogs. 
    He explores how, over millennia, they have inveigled their way into our homes and hearts and evolved to live alongside us. Demystifying the science behind dog behaviour, he explains how they learn (and why they sometimes seem immune to our efforts to train them), how they communicate and what influences the powerful bond they form with their people. 
    Perfect for dog lovers – the essential guide to loving your canine companion.  
    ‘This book is a wonderful read. Full of insights, essential as well as practical advice on dogs.’ Niall Harbison 
    Drawing on ethology, zoology and the sciences, Wooler delivers a practical, personal non-fiction guide and reference that makes animal behaviour feel understandable for everyday life with pets. With a keen eye for nature and a gift for showing the small moments that matter, he reveals how thoughtful training can transform the way animals and people communicate. 
    For fans of Patricia B. Mcconnell (The Cautious Canine-How to Help Dogs Conquer Their Fears), Kevin Behan (Your Dog Is Your Mirror), Kim Brophey (Meet Your Dog), Markus Zusak (Three Wild Dogs), and Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton (The Heat of the Moment).

    A decade ago, former military counterintelligence officer Terry Henry joined his precocious young daughter, Kyria, on a trip to a nursing home in order to allow its residents to play with their family dog, a golden retriever named Riley. Terry was astounded by the transformations that unfolded before his eyes. Soon after, Terry and Kyria started their service dog organization, Paws4people, with the goal of pairing dogs with human beings in need of healing, including traumatized and wounded war veterans and children living with physical, emotional, and intellectual disabilities. 
    In A Dog's Gift, award-winning journalist and author Bob Drury movingly captures the story of a year in the life of Paws4people and the broken bodies and souls the organization mends. The book follows the journey of pups bred by the organization from their loving, if rigorous, early training to an emotional event that Terry and Kyria have christened "the bump," where each individual service dog chooses its new owner through an almost mystical connection that ignites the healing process. Incorporating vivid storytelling, insights into canine wisdom, history, science, and moving tales of personal transformation, A Dog's Gift is a story of miracles bound to be embraced by not only the sixty million Americans who own dogs but by anyone with a full heart and a loving soul.
