Synopsis

California's diverse landscapes are home to an extraordinary array of plant life, from towering redwoods to sun-kissed desert flora. This comprehensive guide takes readers on a journey through the Golden State's rich botanical heritage, revealing the unique adaptations, ecological significance, and cultural importance of California's native plants.

With meticulous detail and captivating prose, the book delves into the intricate relationships between California's diverse plant species and their environment, exploring the fascinating world of plant-pollinator interactions, seed dispersal mechanisms, and adaptations to fire, drought, and other environmental challenges.

Readers will encounter iconic plants that have become symbols of California's natural beauty, such as the California poppy, the giant sequoia, the Joshua tree, the redwood, and the Torrey pine. These iconic species, along with countless others, play vital roles in California's ecosystems, providing food and habitat for wildlife, purifying air and water, and contributing to the state's renowned beauty.

The book also sheds light on the challenges facing California's flora, including habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species. However, it also highlights the conservation efforts underway to protect and preserve California's unique botanical heritage for future generations.

Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is a must-read for botanists, naturalists, and anyone interested in California's natural history. It is a celebration of the state's remarkable plant diversity and a call to action to protect and preserve this precious heritage.

    How different from animals are we really? 
     
     
     
    Are humans the only creatures who love, laugh, cry, possess morals, and wage war? In The Beast Within, scientific researcher and ethologist Jessica Serra upends the assumptions that underpin our very human hypothesis that we possess a superior place in the hierarchy of organisms on Earth. How did we come to think of our animality as standing in opposition to our humanity—and does this reasoning have a scientific basis? 
     
     
     
    Through the fascinating discoveries made by ethologists, anthropologists, and archeologists, Serra deciphers our behaviors in light of their animal roots and demystifies ideas about how different animals are from humans. She compares human behaviors with those exhibited by other species in chapters spanning topics as varied as sex, morality, emotions, intelligence, and family. Exploring the evolution of various animal species, as well as the evolution of historical ideas about humanity and animality, Serra theorizes that human behaviors and motivations may hold more in common with those of animals than we think. These explorations of scientific findings encourage us to reconsider how much we have truly removed ourselves from "the beast within."

    Although there are many books on sleep, THIS book was created to provide 80 unique, new, thought-provoking expert perspectives (I’m not counting myself as an expert, merely the interviewer of the 80 folks listed herein) all in one place. Another important reason for this book? To help people like you who have sleep problems. 
    Remember when you were younger and you slept like a baby? You could sleep almost anywhere. You laid your head down, closed your eyes, and the next thing you knew, it was time to wake up. You woke up and felt energized, ready for the day ahead. 
    It may have been years since you slept well, but nearly everyone I’ve known has at least one memory of a great night’s sleep. Now that you’re older, perhaps most nights you sleep well; perhaps, like most, most nights you DON’T sleep well, and if you’re lucky, one night a week you sleep better than the others – but it’s not enough to say that you’re sleeping well consistently. 
    From my personal experience in improving my sleep, creating a line of custom-tailored head, huggable and knee-to-ankle pillows, and interviewing well over 124 scientists and sleep entrepreneurs, I’ve learned that there is no one thing you can do to improve your sleep 100%. 
    The reality and the truth of sleeping well? Each tweak to how you sleep and your sleeping conditions will improve your sleep by a few percentage points. The key to sleeping optimally is incorporating multiple ways to improve your sleep. Various improvements – 5% here, 2% there – can add up to a 50% improvement, even an 80% improvement in your sleep. 
    Everyone has seven nights a week to get good sleep or poor sleep. Imagine how your life will improve when you can go from one good night of sleep a week to three, five, or even six good nights a week.
