Beschreibung

Mantis Shrimp Vision unveils the extraordinary sensory world of mantis shrimp, creatures possessing visual systems that dwarf human capabilities. These marine animals boast up to twelve photoreceptor types, far exceeding our mere three, potentially unlocking vastly more complex color discrimination. The book explores how these unique optical designs and their polarized light vision evolved, driven by the ecological pressures of their diverse environments.

 
The book balances scientific rigor with accessibility, integrating ecological, behavioral, and evolutionary perspectives to provide a comprehensive analysis. Beginning with an overview of color vision and essential background in optics and neuronal processing, the book progresses to detail the anatomy of the mantis shrimp eye, focusing on the midband region responsible for their exceptional color perception.

 
It delves into the physiological mechanisms of color processing, drawing from diverse research and collaborative studies. While debates continue regarding the functional role and neural mechanisms of their vision, this exploration offers valuable insights into sensory ecology, evolutionary biology, and potential applications in novel imaging technologies.

The Green Mister Rogers -...

Sara Lindey, Jason King, Junlei Li

Fred Rogers was an international celebrity. He was a pioneer in children's television, an advocate for families, and a multimedia artist and performer. He wrote the television scripts and music, performed puppetry, sang, hosted, and directed Mister Rogers' Neighborhood for more than thirty years. Rogers' direct, slow, gentle, and empathic approach is supported by his superior emotional strength, his intellectual and creative courage, and his joyful spiritual confidence. 
 
 
 
The Green Mister Rogers: Environmentalism in "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" centers on the show's environmentalism, primarily expressed through his themed week "Caring for the Environment," produced in 1990 in coordination with the twentieth anniversary of Earth Day. Unfolding against a trash catastrophe in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Rogers advances an environmentalism for children that secures children in their family homes while extending their perspective to faraway places, from the local recycling center to Florida’s coral reef. Ultimately, Rogers cultivates a practical wisdom that provides a way for children to confront the environmental crisis through action and hope and, in doing so, develop into adults who possess greater care for the environment and a capacious imagination for solving the ecological problems we face.

Fulcrum and Torsion of the...

Jorge C. Trainini, Mario...

In this new book, Trainini and his team attempt a step forward and make a series of proposals that come to complete cardiac anatomy, physiology and mechanics. Reading this new investigation is a pleasure that demands continuous attention, so that our "neuronal boxes" do not rebel against the effort it means to sometimes destroy what we have firmly installed in them. The text should be read slowly, as it was never easy to tread in swamp-limited grounds and, as in the ascent to the summit of a difficult mountain, stop now and then to take a breath and enjoy the view as we get near the peak, where we will see the final landscape of the new vision. Then we will be conscious that the effort was worthwhile.
