Sinossi

Ants Farm Fungi reveals the fascinating world of leafcutter ants and their sophisticated agricultural practices, a symbiotic relationship with fungi that has thrived for millions of years. These ants, found in tropical ecosystems, don't just gather food; they actively cultivate it. The book explores how these insects have developed complex social structures and intricate communication systems to manage their fungal farms, showcasing a unique example of insect agriculture.

 
 One intriguing fact is that leafcutter ants use specialized techniques, including leaf harvesting and weed control, much like human farmers. The book delves into the biology of both the ants and the fungi, examining their co-evolutionary relationship and the ecological impact of this symbiosis. It presents information in a way that is both scientifically rigorous and accessible, making it suitable for students, researchers, and nature enthusiasts.

 
 The book's approach progresses from an introduction to ants and fungi, to the life cycle of a leafcutter ant colony, and finally to the potential applications of this ant-fungus interaction for sustainable agriculture.

    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.

    "Journalist Hayley Campbell explores the often hidden world of those who work closely with death, finding compassion in unexpected settings. Campbell’s British accent and matter-of-fact delivery take the listener on a tour of mortuaries, postmortem experimentation, death-mask artistry, crime-scene cleaning, and executions, among others. Her morbid fascination is evident in her tone as she sheds light on curiosities surrounding a subject that is foreign to many people. Ultimately, Campbell calls for a closer relationship to death, less mystery surrounding this universal passage, and a reduction of fear through greater understanding."- AudioFile on All the Living and the Dead"Campbell is a probing investigator whose tone is always even, quietly emphasizing that death is the most natural thing in the world."- BookpageThis audiobook is read by the author.A deeply compelling exploration of the death industry and the people—morticians, detectives, crime scene cleaners, embalmers, executioners—who work in it and what led them there.We are surrounded by death. It is in our news, our nursery rhymes, our true-crime podcasts. Yet from a young age, we are told that death is something to be feared. How are we supposed to know what we’re so afraid of, when we are never given the chance to look?Fueled by a childhood fascination with death, journalist Hayley Campbell searches for answers in the people who make a living by working with the dead. Along the way, she encounters mass fatality investigators, embalmers, and a former executioner who is responsible for ending sixty-two lives. She meets gravediggers who have already dug their own graves, visits a cryonics facility in Michigan, goes for late-night Chinese with a homicide detective, and questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear.Through Campbell’s incisive and candid interviews with these people who see death every day, she asks: Why would someone choose this kind of life? Does it change you as a person? And are we missing something vital by letting death remain hidden? A dazzling work of cultural criticism, All the Living and the Dead weaves together reportage with memoir, history, and philosophy, to offer listeners a fascinating look into the psychology of Western death.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.
