Sinossi

Extreme Insect Feeding explores the astonishing diversity of insect diets and feeding strategies, revealing how these creatures have adapted to thrive in nearly every ecological niche. Insects showcase biological ingenuity by consuming everything from plant sap and blood to wood and decaying matter. Their feeding habits significantly impact ecosystems, influencing plant health, nutrient cycling, and even disease transmission. The book highlights the evolutionary adaptations that allow insects to overcome nutritional limitations and exploit novel resources. For example, the digestive systems of insects offer insights into unique biochemical pathways with potential biotechnological applications.

 
Starting with basic principles of insect nutrition and digestive physiology, the book progresses through fluid feeding, solid food consumption, and specialized strategies like predation and parasitism. This comprehensive overview draws from entomology, physiology, biochemistry, and ecology to present a balanced and accessible exploration of insect feeding. It underscores the importance of understanding insect diets for agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology while also addressing ongoing controversies in the field.

    This program is read by the author.The debut poetry collection from Lyndsay Rush (aka @maryoliversdrunkcousin) is a humorous and joyful celebration of big feelings, tender truths, and hard-won wisdom, for fans of Maggie Smith, Kate Baer, and Kate Kennedy.At long last, a book of poetry for people who didn’t even know they liked poetry. And they’re in good company: author Lyndsay Rush didn’t know she liked it either. That is, until she embarked on an internet experiment under the Instagram username @MaryOliversDrunkCousin that turned into a body of work that struck a chord with women across the country; thanks to her signature wordplay, witticisms, and—against all odds—wisdom.With titles like "Shedonism", "Someone to Eat Chips With", "It’s Called Maximalism, Babe", and "Breaking News: Local Woman Gets Out of Bed", Rush’s debut collection of poetry uses humor to grapple with the female experience—from questioning whether or not to have children, to roasting the patriarchy, to challenging what it means to "age gracefully"—and each piece delivers gut-punching truths alongside gratifying punchlines. Readers walk away from Lyndsay’s work feeling seen, celebrated, and wholly convinced that joy is an urgent, worthwhile pursuit.With over 140 convention-bending poems—most of which are never-before-seen—this book is quite literally A Bit Much.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    For award-winning natural history writer David B. Williams, to be connected to a place you need to pause and look deeply at it. Wild in Seattle is Williams's delightful journey of discovery in this city where not only is nature all around, it's also written in the stones of the urban landscape. Explore the geologic history of glaciers, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes as well as the ways humans shape the Seattle topography. From backyards to downtown, watch for coyotes, crows, seals, otters, owls, and so much more wildlife who also call the region home. Look up at the buildings to find terra cotta eagles, stone that traveled over millions of years from Asia to the San Juan Islands, and clues to the horses who used to power the city's transportation network. Wrap your arms around a giant Douglas-fir, appreciate the unsung yet remarkable skunk cabbage, stop and listen to the spring chorus of frogs. 
     
     
     
    Williams's lively essays will fire up the curiosity of both residents and visitors alike, inspiring all to take a fresh look at the Emerald City.
