Sinossi

"Parasitic Manipulation Masters" explores the fascinating and unsettling world where parasites control the behavior of their hosts. This book examines how parasites employ biochemical strategies to commandeer their hosts, altering behavior to benefit the parasite, often with detrimental consequences for the host.

 
The book highlights that parasitic manipulation is a powerful evolutionary force, playing a significant role in shaping ecosystems. The book presents detailed case studies of parasitic manipulators, such as Toxoplasma gondii, which alters rodent behavior to increase predation by cats, and Cordyceps fungi, which transform ants into "zombies" to disperse fungal spores.

 
By integrating diverse fields such as biology, ecology, and neuroscience, the book provides a holistic understanding of parasitic manipulation. It delves into the underlying mechanisms, exploring the biochemical and neurological processes that enable parasites to control their hosts.

 
The book begins by introducing core concepts and outlining various strategies used by parasites. It then progresses with detailed explorations of specific examples before exploring the ecological and evolutionary implications of parasitic manipulation.

 
Understanding these mechanisms can inform strategies for disease control and wildlife management, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in nature, science, life sciences, and biology.

    Medical oncology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer. It involves the use of systemic therapies, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy, to treat various types of cancer. The field is integral to the multidisciplinary approach to cancer care, working in collaboration with surgeons, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive patient management. Medical oncologists play a central role in coordinating cancer treatment plans and monitoring patients throughout their treatment journey. 
    Cancer is a complex disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and spread to other parts of the body. Over the years, advances in the understanding of cancer biology, genetics, and molecular mechanisms have greatly enhanced the ability of medical oncologists to tailor treatments to individual patients. This personalized approach has significantly improved treatment outcomes, making cancer a more manageable condition for many patients. 
    The scope of medical oncology encompasses a wide range of cancers, including solid tumors, hematologic cancers, and rare malignancies. It involves not only treating cancer but also addressing the psychological, social, and physical challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. The goal of medical oncology is not only to eradicate cancer cells but also to preserve and improve the patient’s quality of life during and after treatment.

    The Safety Anarchist - Relying...

    Work has never been as safe as it seems today. Safety has also never been as bureaucratized as it is today. Over the past two decades, the number of safety rules and statutes has exploded, and organizations themselves are creating ever more internal compliance requirements. At the same time, progress on safety has slowed to a crawl. Many incident- and injury rates have flatlined. Worse, excellent safety performance on low-consequence events tends to increase the risk of fatalities and disasters. Bureaucracy and compliance now seem less about managing the safety of the workers we are responsible for, and more about managing the liability of the people they work for. We make workers do a lot that does nothing to improve their success locally. Paradoxically, such tightening of safety bureaucracy robs us of exactly the source of human insight, creativity and resilience that can tell us how success is actually created, and where the next accident may well happen. 
    It is time for Safety Anarchists: people who trust people more than process, who rely on horizontally coordinating experiences and innovations, who push back against petty rules and coercive compliance, and who help recover the dignity and expertise of human work.

    Across the world, invasive species pose a danger to ecosystems. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity ranks them as a major threat to biodiversity on par with habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. Tackling this isn't easy, and no one knows this better than Hugh Warwick, a conservationist who loathes the idea of killing, harming, or even eating animals. Yet as an ecologist, he is acutely aware of the need, at times, to kill invasive species whose presence harms the wider environment. 
     
     
     
    Hugh explores the complex history of species control, revealing the global movement of species and the impacts of their presence. Combining scientific theory with gentle humor in his signature style, he explains the issues conservationists face to control non-native animals and protect native species—including grey and red squirrels on Anglesey, ravens and tortoises in the Mojave Desert, cane toads in Australia, and the smooth-billed ani on the Galapagos—and describes cases like Pablo Escobar's cocaine hippos and the Burmese python pet trade. 
     
     
     
    Taking a balanced and open approach to this emotive subject, Hugh speaks to experts on all sides of the debate. How do we protect endangered native species? Which species do we prioritize? And how do we reckon with the ethics of killing anything in the name of conservation?
