Sinopse

Biggest Animals explores the captivating realm of the largest creatures on Earth, examining the evolutionary paths and environmental factors that have led to their impressive sizes. The book delves into the biological mechanisms behind gigantism, revealing how these animals have adapted to thrive in diverse ecosystems across land, sea, and air. It highlights the ecological implications of these giants, illustrating how their size influences their roles within their habitats.

This book journeys from the dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Era to modern giants, providing a comprehensive overview of animal gigantism.

 
Each section explores specific species, detailing their evolutionary history, anatomical adaptations, and behaviors. By integrating insights from paleontology, comparative anatomy, and ecology, Biggest Animals provides a holistic understanding of these creatures.

    Dilapidated buildings. Classic American cars. Rum and cigars. Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. Aspects of Cuba, to be sure, but superficial ones at best. Beneath these clichés live the Cuban people, each with a fascinating story that reveals the challenges of surviving day to day in this country, how Cubans innovatively and creatively meet those challenges, and how they refuse to allow circumstances to colour their outlook on life. Within this book are vignettes of some of these people, presented as word-picture diptychs, each photograph accompanied by a compelling story, each story with an illustrative photograph. The reader will discover that while some Cubans live in dirty, dark, tenement-like conditions, others find the resources to improve and maintain their homes, and that those with the means keeps houses as clean as any on the planet. The reader will also learn how Cuban mechanics adapt and improvise to keep those wonderful old cars running, despite the difficulties of obtaining repair parts, and about the uniquely Cuban construct of resolver through which they survive and even prosper. But most importantly, it will be seen that Cubans have an indomitable spirit that allows them to remain happy and optimistic, despite the adversities of conquest and occupation, the interference of foreign governments, and the oppression of their own government for over five hundred years.

    News from Tartary - A Journey...

    News from Tartary is the account of an illegal journey from Peking to Kashmir in 1935. The physical resilience which took companions Fleming and Ella Maillart across some of the world's most inaccessible mountains and deserts was matched by their bravery and luck. China was caught up in a vicious civil war, and local Muslim warlords were allying themselves with Soviet Russia. None of the foreign journalists who had attempted to report from the region in the previous eight years had come out alive. The relationship between Peter (foreign correspondent for The Times) and the adventurous Swiss traveller Ella becomes a source of gentle fascination. For beneath their easygoing charm, both had that sliver of ice required of a writer and had already travelled alone in the region, setting down their earlier adventures in One's Company and Turkestan Solo.

    In 2015, Beth and Eric Jusino walked out of a cathedral in the historic village of Le Puy, France, down a cobblestone street, and turned west. Seventy-nine days, a thousand miles, two countries, two mountain ranges, and three pairs of shoes later, they reached the Atlantic Ocean. 
     
     
     
    More than two million pilgrims have walked the Way of Saint James, a long-distance hiking trail. Each pilgrim has their own reason for undertaking the journey. For the Jusinos, it was about taking a break from the relentless pace of modern life and getting away from all their electronic devices. 
     
     
     
    In Walking to the End of the World, Beth shares, with wry humor and infectious enthusiasm, the joys and travails of undertaking such a journey. She evocatively describes the terrain and the route's history, her fellow pilgrims, and the villages passed, and the unexpected challenges and charms of the experience. 
     
     
     
    Beth's story is also about the assurance that an outdoor-based, boundary-stretching adventure is accessible to even the most unlikely of us. In her story, listeners will feel that they, too, can get off their comfortable couches and do something unexpected and spectacular.
