Sinopse

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.

Vintage Verse Rhapsody: A Poetry...

Various Authors

A collection of poetry selected and performed by Bob Gonzalez, rhapsode. Rhapsodes of Ancient Greece were “song-stitchers,” performing selections from the epics of Homer and Hesiod. The contemporary rhapsode performs the classical poetry of his or her language, culture, and tradition. Any particular collection and arrangement of poems for performance I term a “rhapsody.” In general terms, a rhapsody is an ecstatic expression of feeling and enthusiasm. In music, a rhapsody is an instrumental composition irregular in form and suggestive of improvisation. The poems in this rhapsody comprise a number of poems that I have performed in public and known for much of my life as well as several recent additions to my repertory. They are arranged in chronological order from the 16th century to the early 20th century. Some of the poets represented here are Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, John Donne, John Milton, Alexander Pope, William Blake, William Wordsworth, John Keats, Alfred Tennyson, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Lewis Carroll, and Robert Frost.

My Manager Is a Dashboard: AI...

Stephen Patrick Sullivan

A funny, sharp, and slightly unhinged field guide to the agentic workplace. 
AI agents are not just chatbots. The moment you give a model permissions, you give it authority. And once authority shows up, your organization does what it always does. It measures everything that moves, logs every breath, builds dashboards like emotional support animals, and starts managing humans by whatever the dashboard can count. 
Meet Team Space Otter, the builders and shippers. Team Goth Koala, risk and compliance. Trash Panda Prime, ops and incident response. Neon Cactus, product and roadmaps. Glitter Kraken, data and dashboards. Laser Possum, weekend builders and experimenters. They are not real departments. They are archetypes. If you have worked in a company larger than a lemonade stand, you already know them. 
This is the Tuesday version of AI. Not sci fi. Not hype. The part nobody puts on the slide deck. 
Your new coworker is a bot. Your new manager is a dashboard. Good luck.

Eating Chilli Crab in the...

Matthew Schneider-Mayerson

In this era of climate crisis, in which our very futures are at stake, sustainability is a global imperative. Yet we tend to associate sustainability, nature, and the environment with distant places, science, and policy. The truth is that everything is environmental, from transportation to taxes, work to love, cities to cuisine. 
 
 
This book is the first to examine contemporary Singapore from an ecocultural lens, looking at the ways that Singaporean life and culture is deeply entangled with the nonhuman lives that flourish all around us. The authors represent a new generation of cultural critics and environmental thinkers, who will inherit the future we are creating today. From chilli crab to Tiger Beer, Changi Airport to Pulau Semakau, O-levels to orang minyak films, these essays offer fresh perspectives on familiar subjects, prompting us to recognise the incredible urgency of climate change and the need to transform our ways of thinking, acting, learning, living, and governing so as to maintain a stable planet and a decent future.
