Beschreibung

Desert Heat Adaptations explores how plants and animals thrive in the world's harshest environments. The book uncovers the unique survival strategies of desert life, focusing on adaptations to extreme heat and water scarcity. It argues that understanding these adaptations is crucial, providing insights into resilience applicable beyond desert ecosystems, potentially informing strategies for coping with climate change. The book emphasizes water conservation and thermoregulation, detailing how desert organisms have evolved remarkable mechanisms to survive. For example, some desert rodents use evaporative cooling to stay cool, while desert plants like cacti store water internally to withstand long periods of drought.

 
Examining evolutionary pathways, the book explains water potential, heat transfer mechanisms, and behavioral ecology. Progressing from foundational concepts to specific adaptations, the book is structured in four key parts: desert ecology and physiology, plant adaptations, animal adaptations, and interspecies interactions. It showcases how understanding desert plant adaptations can inspire innovative water harvesting techniques, and how animal thermoregulatory strategies can inform energy-efficient building designs.

 
The book distinguishes itself by offering a comprehensive overview of desert adaptation, making it valuable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in natural history and environmental science.

Flying has been man's desire since the dawn of mankind when he contemplated the flying of birds looking up at the sky. Millennia passed until he finally decided to dare to stop contemplating the birds and start his passion and primitive instinct of conqueror, but this time the terrain to conquer would be much more difficult, the sky.

Big names have been printed in the history of world aviation. Simple people who shared the same vision as that primitive man who contemplated the flight of birds, mastering the art of flying.

	We will focus the chapters of this new book on knowing the stories of each of these men who marked our lives forever, starting with a brief tour of the beginning of time when man knew flight and tried to conquer it.

The Twisted History of the GOP

A two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist shreds the GOP’s record of backward policies and abysmal leaders. Luckovich takes aim at the NRA, Trump, Bush, Ted Cruz, and more.
		 
The Twisted History of the GOP is an editorial cartoon exploration into the ongoing crack-up of the Republican party. Once a proud, competent counterbalance to the Democratic party, the GOP began to change in the ’90s with the arrival of Republican representative and future House Speaker Newt Gingrich to Congress, assisted by radical radio host Rush Limbaugh and a new television network, the right-wing, propaganda-spewing Fox News. In the years that followed, they were aided by Mitch McConnell and the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, in transforming the GOP into what it is now: a fascist, racist, anti-science, pro-conspiracy cult, in thrall to the twice-impeached conman and former president, Donald Trump.
		 
These cartoons will shock and delight you, and you won’t be able to look away from Luckovich’s witty editorial wisdom. Combining a rapier wit alongside exceptional caricatures, The Twisted History of the GOP will make you laugh until you cry.

The "revelatory" (The New York Review of Books) story of an ordinary man, his century, and his home. 
 
 
 
Jamaica Kincaid's first obsession, the island of Antigua, comes vibrantly to life under the gaze of Mr. Potter, an illiterate chauffeur who makes his living along the wide, open roads that pass the only towns he has ever seen. The sun shines squarely overhead, the ocean lies on every side, and suppressed passion fills the air. 
 
 
 
As Mr. Potter's narrative unfolds in linked vignettes, his story becomes the story of a vital, damaged community. Amid his surroundings, he struggles to live at ease: to purchase a car, to have girlfriends, and to shake off the encumbrance of his daughters―one of whom will return to Antigua after he dies and tell his story with equal measures of distance and sympathy. 
 
 
 
In Mr. Potter, Kincaid breathes life into a figure unlike any other in contemporary fiction, an individual consciousness emerging gloriously out of an unexamined life.
