Beschreibung

Funny Animals explores the intriguing question of whether animals possess a sense of humor, examining behaviors from elaborate bird dances to seemingly laughing rodents. This journey through nature, life sciences, and biology delves into animal antics, offering insights into the evolutionary basis and ecological significance of these behaviors. The book investigates how these actions may contribute to communication, social bonding, and, surprisingly, even survival. It challenges us to reconsider traditional views of animal behavior by suggesting that what we perceive as "funny" might serve vital functions.

 
The book progresses by first establishing core concepts, like defining humor in a non-human context and tackling the challenges of studying subjective experiences across species. It then dedicates chapters to specific animal groups, such as birds, mammals, and insects, showcasing examples of these humorous behaviors. For example, the book highlights the role of play and mimicry in social development and learning, as well as the function of courtship rituals as displays of fitness. By combining scientific rigor with accessible storytelling, Funny Animals encourages a fresh perspective on the intelligence and emotional lives of animals.

    Upon completing his historic work on the Human Genome Project, J. Craig Venter declared that he would sequence the genetic code of all life on earth. Thus began a fifteen-year quest to collect DNA from the world's oldest and most abundant form of life: microbes. Boarding the Sorcerer II, a 100-foot sailboat turned research vessel, Venter traveled over 65,000 miles around the globe to sample ocean water and the microscopic life within. 
     
     
     
    In The Voyage of Sorcerer II, Venter and science writer David Ewing Duncan tell the remarkable story of these expeditions and of the momentous discoveries that ensued—of plant-like bacteria that get their energy from the sun, proteins that metabolize vast amounts of hydrogen, and microbes whose genes shield them from ultraviolet light. The result was a massive library of millions of unknown genes, thousands of unseen protein families, and new lineages of bacteria that revealed the unimaginable complexity of life on earth. Yet despite this exquisite diversity, Venter encountered sobering reminders of how human activity is disturbing the delicate microbial ecosystem that nurtures life on earth. In the face of unprecedented climate change, Venter and Duncan show how we can harness the microbial genome to develop alternative sources of energy, food, and medicine that might ultimately avert our destruction.

    If your body still lives in the past even though your mind knows you're safe, then keep reading...
     
    
     
    You've tried talking about it. You've tried thinking your way through it. But trauma doesn't live in your thoughts—it lives in your nervous system.
     
    Your body is still keeping score, even when you're trying to move on.
     
    Traditional therapy asks you to understand your trauma. Polyvagal Theory teaches you to release it. Not through more talking, but through understanding the language your nervous system has been screaming in all along.
     
    This isn't about reliving your past. It's about rewiring your present.
     
    
     
    You'll discover:
    
    Why your body reacts before your mind can catch up
    How your vagus nerve controls your sense of safety
    The science behind why you freeze, flee, or fight
    How to shift from survival mode to thriving mode
    Why "just calm down" has never worked for you
    The missing piece in traditional trauma therapy
    
     
    Healing trauma isn't about being strong enough to push through it.
     
    It's about being wise enough to work with your body's natural systems. Your nervous system isn't broken—it's been protecting you. Now it's time to teach it that the danger has passed.

    Burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming: this is what top American oil executives were told by scientists in 1959. But they ignored that warning. Instead, they developed one of the biggest, most polluting oil sources in the world—the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. As investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals in this explosive book, the decades-long conspiracy to keep the oil sands flowing into the US would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons for the world's failure to stop the climate crisis. 
     
     
     
    In The Petroleum Papers, Dembicki draws from confidential oil industry documents to uncover for the first time how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits—a misinformation campaign that continues to this day. He also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions. 
     
     
     
    With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice—and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.
