Sinopsis

Mimosa Leaf Response explores the fascinating leaf-folding mechanism of the Mimosa pudica, or sensitive plant. This rapid response to touch is driven by intricate plant physiology, involving turgor pressure changes within specialized motor organs called pulvinus. These changes are triggered by action potentials, electrical signals akin to nerve impulses, showcasing sophisticated plant signaling. The book details how the initial touch stimulus sets off a cascade of events, leading to water expulsion from pulvinus cells and subsequent leaf collapse. It examines the roles of ion channels and calcium signaling in this process.

 
Progressing from general plant physiology to specific touch-induced responses, the book analyzes hydraulic mechanisms and the adaptive significance of this unique defense strategy against herbivores and reducing water loss, integrating molecular mechanisms with ecological consequences. This book uniquely combines electrophysiological recordings, microscopic imaging, and experimental studies. It provides a comprehensive overview suitable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the remarkable abilities of plants, highlighting bio-inspired engineering applications and connections to plant neurobiology.

    A human history of one of the planet's most iconic lakes, and the civilizations that surrounded its shores 
     
     
      
    The Dead Sea is a place of many contradictions. Hot springs around the lake are famed for their healing properties, though its own waters are deadly to most lifeforms—even so, civilizations have built ancient cities and hilltop fortresses around its shores for centuries. The protagonists in its story are not only Jews and Arabs, but also Greeks, Nabataeans, Romans, Crusaders and Mamluks. Today it has become a tourist hotspot, but its drying basin is increasingly under threat. 
     
     
      
    In this panoramic account, Nir Arielli explores the history of the Dead Sea from the first Neolithic settlements to the present day. Moving through the ages, Arielli reveals the religious, economic, military, and scientific importance of the lake, which has been both a source of great wealth and a site of war. The Dead Sea weaves together a tapestry of the lake's human stories—and amidst environmental degradation and renewed conflict, makes a powerful case for why it should be saved.

    No need to travel halfway round the globe to spot iconic wildlife – it's right here on our doorstep in the UK and Steve Wright, keen amateur naturalist, travels from the Isle of Man to Norfolk, to the Orkneys, Northern Ireland and everywhere in-between on his various short holiday expeditions, clutching his specific wildlife wish-list for each trip.  
    The result is an inspiring and engaging diary of his personal encounters with white-tailed eagles, otters, bottlenose dolphins, fulmars, puffins, osprey, sand lizards, even red-necked wallabies. And the characters he meets on the way. He hears snipe drumming, watches a shrew in Wales, admires pilot whales off Lewis.  
    Steve's wildlife travel diaries give excellent practical tips, such as bird-hide etiquette, how to identify birds on the wing, how to consult local wildlife rangers about what might be spotted on each outing and where to find that species.  
    But most importantly his highly-readable wildlife travels are a call to others to book themselves in to pubs and small hotels the length and breadth of Britain and follow his example, for a series of fun British wildlife safaris.
