Sinopse

Hammerhead Stereo Vision explores the fascinating visual system of hammerhead sharks, emphasizing how their unique head shape, or cephalofoil, enhances binocular vision and depth perception. This adaptation influences their hunting strategies and ecological role as apex predators. The book highlights how the wide placement of their eyes provides an expanded field of view, improving their ability to detect prey. Interestingly, the cephalofoil's impact extends beyond vision, potentially influencing biomechanics and hydrodynamic efficiency.

 
The book begins by establishing the principles of binocular vision and hammerhead anatomy before diving into research on visual fields and neurological pathways. It then analyzes hunting strategies, demonstrating how stereopsis aids in targeting prey. By integrating anatomical, behavioral, and ecological data, Hammerhead Stereo Vision offers a holistic view of how this sensory adaptation contributes to the sharks' success. The book concludes with implications for understanding sensory evolution and marine conservation.

    Most agree on the urgent need for climate action, yet we are often divided on how to stop the destruction of the natural world. Earth for Sale exposes the danger of governments giving over this responsibility to powerful private interests, namely the same energy, chemical, agribusiness, and bottled water corporations that brought us to this ecological brink.Their answer? Put a price on nature and bring it into the market. Under the inviting language of "nature-based solutions" and "ecosystem services," this financialization and commodification of nature takes many forms: carbon trading; debt-for-nature swaps; water pollution trading; biodiversity credits; green, blue, and wildlife conservation bonds; plastics offsets; water futures; and more.Renowned activist Maude Barlow, who sounded the alarm decades ago on the corporate assault on water, argues the financialization of nature is dangerous and surprisingly few understand the implications, including many in environmental movements. With detailed examples and meticulous research, Earth for Sale unmasks this insidious new form of corporate plunder. We must not allow the movement to protect nature and biodiversity to be handed over to private interests whose driving motive is, and always has been, profit.

    Americans knew polio as the "summer plague." In countries further North, however, the virus arrived later in the year. It was described by one writer as "the autumn ghost." 
     
     
     
    Intensive care units and mechanical ventilation are the crucial foundation of modern medical care: without them, the appalling death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic would be even higher. In The Autumn Ghost, Dr. Hannah Wunsch traces the origins of these two innovations back to a polio epidemic in the autumn of 1952. Drawing together testimony from doctors, nurses, medical students, and patients, Wunsch relates a gripping tale of an epidemic that changed the world. 
     
     
     
    Wunsch tells the true story of how insiders and iconoclasts came together in one overwhelmed hospital in Copenhagen to save the lives of many polio patients dying of respiratory failure. Their radical advances in care marked a turning point in the treatment of patients around the world—from the rise of life support and the creation of intensive care units to the evolution of rehabilitation medicine. 
     
     
     
    The Autumn Ghost will leave listeners in awe of the courage of those who battled the polio epidemic, and grateful for the modern medical care they pioneered.
