Synopsis

Deep-Sea Adaptations unveils the extraordinary strategies life employs to thrive in the extreme conditions of the deep ocean. The book emphasizes two critical adaptations: bioluminescence and pressure resistance, showcasing their fundamental roles in deep-sea ecology. For instance, bioluminescence isn't just about creating light; it's a complex communication tool, a hunting aid, and a camouflage mechanism all rolled into one. Similarly, pressure resistance involves intricate physiological and biochemical modifications that allow organisms to function under immense hydrostatic forces, an environment that would instantly crush most surface-dwelling creatures.

 
The book takes a holistic approach, integrating insights from marine biology, evolutionary biology, and biochemistry to provide a comprehensive understanding. It begins by establishing the environmental context of the deep sea, then dedicates individual sections to bioluminescence and pressure resistance, detailing their mechanisms, evolution, and ecological importance. Finally, it explores how these adaptations often co-occur and interact, revealing convergent evolutionary solutions.

 
This exploration highlights how understanding these deep-sea adaptations is crucial, especially with increasing human activities like deep-sea mining threatening these fragile ecosystems.

    The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology. We are looking for answers in the wrong places. 
     
    Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production. 
     
    In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse at what is possible. To solve the big problems, sometimes you have to think small.

    Saki's Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the undisputed master of the short story.
    'Tobermory', one of Saki's most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from granting cats the power of speech – animals have long lurked unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in 'The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat' is the only one to enjoy his meal, as is the leopard in 'The Guests'. In 'The Penance' and 'Mrs Packletide's Tiger', hunters who put cats in their sights are humiliated and blackmailed. 'The Achievement of the Cat' considers how cats have come to be served by the human race.
    In addition to the short stories about cats, Saki's Cats also collects Saki's juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted while living in Burma.
    The feisty felines of these tales are the only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail between its legs.

    France’s Most Famous Palaces:...

    For the French, and those who study their history, Versailles is a symbol of, as Charles Dickens once put it, “the best of times…the worst of times.” It was here that the Sun King, Louis XIV, built a palace worthy of a great nation during a time when peace was, at best, short-lived. It was at Versailles that Russian Tsar Peter the Great studied the palace’s architecture and gardens so that he could recreate them in his home country. Indeed, the greatest minds and artistic geniuses of the later stages of the Renaissance came to Versailles to build and paint, and it was here that Madame de Pompadour and her successor, Madame du Barry, used their wit and beauty to charm a king into doing their bidding. 
    	France, like all European countries, has had its fair share of palaces over time, but none suffered the rise and fall of fortune like the Tuileries. Built by a widow with a flair for architecture, it grew for more than a decade, along with the royal family that it housed. Then, during the French Revolution, it fell from grace with that family and even became a sight of execution, its famous gardens providing the background for the infamous guillotine.  
    	The Louvre's very name conjures up scenes of art and elegance, and of long halls filled with beauty and people strolling through them whispering quietly among themselves about the glories they are witnessing. Even those who have never been to the Louvre know some of its most prized possessions, from ancient statues to Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”. As the world’s largest museum, the Louvre is unquestionably the cultural highpoint of Paris, a city that has long been considered the cultural center of Europe.
