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.

    Nowhere on the planet offers the same combination of surfing, spirituality and sun-kissed sybaritic pleasure as Bali. On the Island of the Gods, fresh ideas arrive like waves, creating a glorious cocktail of cultures and influences. A stay here might mean tropical brutalism of The Slow in Canggu or mod-Balinese bamboo pods at Ubud’s Bambu Indah. It might mean kicking back with Canggu’s clean-living nomads, Seminyak’s style-conscious surfers, or Ubud’s smart crowd, who eat at Noma-ish Locavore and roll their eyes at the mention of Eat, Pray, Love. Either way, everyone and everything is welcome.

    The best new writing, photography, art, and reportage from and about Rome—in the series that’s “like a literary vacation” (Publishers Weekly). 
     
    If you believe recent chatter about Rome—in the media and by its residents—the city is on the verge of collapse. Each year, it slips further down the ranking of the world’s most livable cities. To the problems faced by all large capitals—hit-and-run tourism, traffic, the divide between elegant, Airbnb-dominated city centers and run-down suburbs—in recent years Rome seems to have added a list of calamities of its own: a string of failing administrations, widespread corruption, the resurgence of fascist movements, rampant crime. A seemingly hopeless situation, perfectly symbolized by the fact that Rome currently leads the world in the number of self-combusting public buses. 
     
    One might expect mass migration in the face of problems like these—yet the vast majority of Romans don’t think for a second of “betraying” their hometown, and the many newcomers who’ve populated it in recent decades resemble the natives in the profound love that binds them to the city. 
     
    The largest metropolis in Europe is a place of contradictions and opposites. We think of it as ancient, but it is profoundly modern—it was founded almost three millennia ago, but 92 per cent of its buildings have been built after 1945. To understand Rome and fix its problems, we should start considering it a normal city, not unlike Chicago or Manchester . . . just incomparably more beautiful. This volume is filled with portraits of Rome and thoughts not just on its famous past but its present and future, including: 
     
    Rome doesn’t judge you by Nicola Lagioia · The soul of the city by Matteo Nucci · 39 memos for a book about Rome by Francesco Piccolo · Plus: a guide to the sounds of Rome by Letizia Muratori; the feigned unrest and real malaise of the suburbs; the influence of the Vatican; the excessive power of real estate speculators and the rule of gangs; disillusioned trappers; football fans of every age, and much more . . .

    Rats are often misunderstood animals, with many people viewing them as pests or even dangerous creatures. However, they make wonderful and affectionate pets for those willing to look past these misconceptions. In this chapter, we will introduce you to the world of pet rats, explain why they make excellent companions, and discuss some important things to know before bringing one into your home. 
    Rats are highly intelligent and social animals, known for their ability to bond with their owners. Unlike many other small pets, rats have the capacity to learn and interact in meaningful ways. They can be trained to perform tricks, respond to their names, and even use a litter box. This intelligence and trainability make rats unique among small mammals, providing a rewarding experience for those who enjoy engaging with their pets. 
    In addition to their intelligence, rats are also affectionate. Many rat owners report that their pets develop strong bonds with them, often seeking attention and companionship. Rats are naturally social animals, which means they thrive in the company of other rats, though they also form close relationships with their human caretakers. When treated with kindness and respect, rats can be loving and loyal companions.
