Sinopsis

Deep-Sea Pressure explores the fascinating world of the abyssal depths, revealing how life thrives under extreme pressure and perpetual darkness. This book investigates the unique adaptations of deep-sea organisms, focusing on both physiological mechanisms and ecological roles. One intriguing insight is how some deep-sea creatures have developed specialized proteins and cell membranes to withstand crushing pressures, offering a glimpse into the remarkable resilience of life.

Another focus is the multifaceted use of bioluminescence, which serves purposes ranging from attracting prey to complex communication, highlighting the intricate ecological dynamics of this environment. The book presents a comprehensive examination of deep-sea life, drawing from peer-reviewed scientific literature and findings from modern deep-sea expeditions utilizing advanced submersible technology. It emphasizes the interplay between pressure adaptation and bioluminescence, presenting information in a clear, accessible manner suitable for a broad audience.

By exploring the diversity of deep-sea life and the underlying mechanisms of adaptation, Deep-Sea Pressure argues that understanding these extreme environments offers crucial insights into the limits of life on Earth and its potential elsewhere. Organized into three key sections, the book first introduces the deep-sea environment and its challenges. It then delves into the specific adaptations of deep-sea organisms, with dedicated chapters on proteins, cell membranes, and sensory systems. Finally, the book explores the ecological roles of bioluminescence and the implications of deep-sea research for astrobiology and conservation, providing a holistic view of this unexplored frontier.

States and Nature - The Effects...

Joshua William Busby

Under what circumstances might climate change lead to negative security outcomes? Over the past fifteen years, a rapidly growing applied field and research community on climate security has emerged. While much progress has been made, we still don't have a clear understanding of why climate change might lead to violent conflict or humanitarian emergencies in some places and not others. Busby develops a novel argument – based on the combination of state capacity, political exclusion, and international assistance – to explain why climate leads to especially bad security outcomes in some places but not others. This argument is then demonstrated through application to case studies from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. This book will provide an informative resource for students and scholars of international relations and environmental studies, especially those working on security, conflict and climate change, on the emergent practice and study of this topic, and identifies where policy and research should be headed.

A social history of Labradors, and how they have become the world’s most beloved dogs, by writer, presenter and long-time dog lover Ben Fogle.
Labradors are the most popular breed of dog in the world. Not only a great family companion, they also excel at hunting, tracking, retrieving, guiding and rescuing. But where did the breed originally come from? How did it develop? When did black, yellow and chocolate Labradors first appear? Did they really all come from Labrador in Canada and are they really all related to just one dog?
In this first history of the Labrador, Ben Fogle goes in search of what makes Labradors so special. Their extraordinary companionship, intelligence, work ethic and loyalty is captured by Ben as he weaves the story of the breed into his own story of his beloved Inca.
Ben visits Canada, discovers hair-raising stories of early Labrador exploits and uncovers stories of RNIB Labradors and Labradors at war, Labradors as working dogs and every other manifestation of the Labrador’s character. Exploring their origin, early characteristics, their use as gun dogs, as therapy dogs, as police dogs, as search and rescue dogs and last – and absolutely not least – as family pets, Ben tells the story of a dog breed which has captured our imagination and love for hundreds of years.
This book by top author Ben Fogle is a comprehensive exploration of Labradors, the world's most beloved breed. As a Sunday Times bestselling author, Fogle's passion and knowledge shine through, making this book a must-read for all dog enthusiasts.
