Synopsis

Embark on a captivating journey into the world of treeshrews, Borneo's enigmatic forest guardians, in this comprehensive exploration of their lives and ecological significance.

Within the lush rainforests of Borneo, treeshrews occupy a unique niche, offering valuable insights into the evolution of primates and the origins of mammals. Join us as we unravel the secrets of these elusive creatures, uncovering their intriguing behaviors, remarkable adaptations, and the vital role they play in maintaining the delicate balance of Borneo's ecosystems.

From the depths of the rainforest to the treetops, treeshrews navigate a world teeming with diversity and wonder. With their large, curious eyes and agile movements, they traverse the forest canopy, skillfully leaping from branch to branch. Their sharp senses and keen awareness allow them to navigate the complex tapestry of the rainforest, where every sound, scent, and movement holds significance.

Discover the rich tapestry of social interactions and intricate communication systems that characterize treeshrews. From monogamous pairs to complex family groups, they exhibit a remarkable range of social behaviors. Engage in the exploration of their elaborate vocalizations, scent marking, and physical displays, which allow them to communicate effectively, form strong bonds, and maintain social cohesion.

The remarkable diversity of treeshrews is reflected in their dietary habits and foraging strategies. Some species are adept hunters, specializing in insects and small invertebrates, while others rely on a diet of fruits, seeds, and nectar. Their ability to adapt to various food sources has allowed them to thrive in the diverse habitats of Borneo's rainforests.

As we delve deeper into the intricate web of relationships between treeshrews and their environment, we uncover their vital role in maintaining the delicate balance of the rainforest ecosystem. As seed dispersers, they play a crucial role in plant regeneration and the maintenance of biodiversity. Their predatory habits help control insect populations, ensuring a healthy equilibrium within the forest's food chain.

This comprehensive exploration also sheds light on the challenges faced by treeshrews in a rapidly changing world. Habitat loss, deforestation, and climate change pose significant threats to their survival. However, conservation efforts are underway to protect these enigmatic creatures and their rainforest homes. By understanding the unique adaptations and ecological importance of treeshrews, we can work towards preserving their vital role in Borneo's ecosystems for generations to come.

Journey with us into the realm of treeshrews, Borneo's guardians of the forest, and discover the wonders that await within the depths of their rainforest home.

Einstein's Unfinished Dream -...

Don Lincoln

Humanity has long looked to the sky and marveled at the world around us. We've wondered why the world is the way it is and whether it has to be that way. For millennia these questions were theological, transitioning to philosophical during the Enlightenment, but the discipline that now drives progress is science. We now look forward, hoping to make additional connections and create a better understanding of the ultimate laws of nature. We dream of a time when we have developed a theory of everything—a theory that answers all questions. 
 
 
 
There is so much that we don't know. This book is up front about our ignorance and spends some time dispelling some of the more popular theories. It then redirects the listener's attention to how we will actually move forward, by identifying things we don't yet understand and engaging with the experiments that will drive our comprehension. 
 
 
 
Einstein's Unfinished Dream explores the cutting-edge research of modern particle physicists that pushes us slowly towards a theory of everything. Marshalling decades of experience in distilling high-level scientific concepts, Lincoln invites listeners into the mysteries of dark matter, dark energy, matter/antimatter asymmetry, quark and lepton flavor, and other phenomena that have puzzled humanity for centuries.

Nature & Culture - A change...

Eco-Philosophy The Council for

Dalai Lama (2000) believes that seeking happiness "lies in our nature": The desire or need to be happy knows no bounds. It is something that lies in our nature. As such, it needs no grounds and it is justified by the simple fact that it is something we rightly want out of our nature. One has also asked if happiness is as important in all cultures. The answer is that happiness is at the top of the wish-list in every country; It is more important than wealth and to come to heaven, and as important as love (Diener and Biswas-Diener, 2008)...what makes us richer has been costly. The wealth, or what has been the prerequisite for wealth, has reduced a quieter life, close and stable relationships, we are moving apart. A materialistic lifestyle has a negative connection with happiness (Hellevik, 2003). NEF (2016) has calculated values on Happy Planet Index for 140 countries. Highest ranks Costa Rica and a number of other countries in Latin America. The population of Costa Rica has high values for happiness and longevity, and they have low values of ecological footprints. Norway has very high values of happiness and longevity, but also of footprints. In total, Norway is ranked twelfth and therefore highest among European countries, but closely followed by Albania. The United Kingdom is at thirty-fourth place, Canada number eighty-five and the United States number 108.
