Sinopse

Drought Survival Champions explores the remarkable ability of certain organisms to endure extreme dryness, a phenomenon known as drought survival. It delves into how revival plants like the Rose of Jericho and animals such as tardigrades (water bears) employ unique strategies, including cryptobiosis, to withstand prolonged desiccation. These organisms effectively "pause" life, reducing their metabolic activity to almost zero, demonstrating nature's extraordinary capacity for resilience.

 
The book highlights the cellular preservation techniques used by these drought-resistant champions, such as the production of protective molecules like trehalose and LEA proteins, which prevent cellular damage during dehydration and rehydration. This ability to survive without water for extended periods offers valuable insights applicable to diverse fields like medicine and agriculture and provides ways to preserve biological materials.

 
By examining the physiological and biochemical adaptations of these organisms, the book reveals common themes and unique differences in their adaptive strategies, drawing from plant and animal physiology, molecular biology, and biochemistry. Organized to provide a comprehensive understanding, the book progresses from defining drought and its effects to detailed explorations of specific organisms. It presents complex scientific information in an accessible manner, appealing to students, researchers, and anyone interested in natural history and environmental science.

 
The book emphasizes the importance of understanding these mechanisms, especially in the context of climate change and the need for drought resilience, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand life's ability to overcome adversity.

How the World Flows -...

Albert Folch

How the World Flows acts like a microscope that pulls the listener into the barely noticeable, Lilliputian world of fluids at small scales—the microfluidic world—and answers the question "What is microfluidics?" in non-technical language.Microfluidics is the field of science that studies fluids constrained to spaces that are smaller than one millimeter wide, and by extension, the engineering field which builds devices that exploit the unique properties of fluids at these scales. Author Albert Folch explores this micro science which has inspired engineers to build devices such as engines, spray cans, ballpoint pens, inkjet and 3D printers, pregnancy and Covid tests, glucometers, asthma nebulizers, kidney dialysis machines, and DNA analyzers.This book also shows that many processes essential to life on Earth—such as the formation of raindrops, the rise of sap in plants, and the percolation of water through soil—are all microfluidic marvels. It examines how our cells breathe, feed, and fight diseases through small capillaries. Through engaging and digestible stories, Folch takes a lens to this tiny science and demonstrates how big a role microfluidics play in life as we know it.
