Beschreibung

"Hidden Creatures" unveils the captivating realm of animal camouflage, diving deep into the evolutionary arms race between predator and prey. It explores how natural selection has driven the development of incredible concealment strategies, from blending seamlessly into backgrounds to mimicking other species. Astonishingly, some animals don disguises so convincingly that they resemble inanimate objects, while others employ mimicry to imitate dangerous creatures, deterring potential predators. The book examines camouflage, disguise, and mimicry, highlighting their roles in survival. It showcases diverse examples of these adaptations across various habitats, grouping them by habitat type and evolutionary relationships. Readers will gain insights into the sensory perception and neural mechanisms that underpin these behaviors, as well as the evolutionary drivers behind them. The book progresses from basic definitions and illustrative examples to detailed case studies and discussions of the underlying evolutionary forces. What sets "Hidden Creatures" apart is its focus on explaining the "how" and "why" of animal concealment, bridging detailed observations with modern scientific understanding. It culminates by exploring the implications of camouflage research for fields such as military technology, robotics, and even art and design. This approach offers a thorough and engaging exploration of the natural world that is sure to appeal to anyone interested in biology, nature, science, and life sciences.

    Majestic 12: The History and...

    When people think about unidentified flying objects (UFOs), they tend to think of flying discs piloted by gray beings with large heads and enormous eyes. They tend to think that these sightings only started relatively recently and that belief in UFOs is some sort of modern religion brought on, perhaps, by the very justifiable fears of a nuclear age. But a study of the phenomenon quickly reveals that people have been seeing UFOs since the beginning of recorded history and perhaps a lot longer than that. 
    	Naturally, as technological advances and the creation of flying aircraft became realities, the sighting of UFOs increased, as did the interest in potential contact with aliens.  Some of the American investigations of UFOs from the 1940s and 1950s were documented, but nothing exemplifies the debate between those who believe that extraterrestrials visit the Earth and skeptics than the top secret papers that emerged in the 1980s and seemed to prove the existence of a shadowy secret organization known as MJ-12 or Majestic 12. To believers, these papers proved beyond a doubt not only that UFOs were real and of extraterrestrial origin, but also that the federal government had been aware of this since the 1940s and had even managed to recover one or more crashed alien spacecrafts. To skeptics, this notion simply proved how gullible UFO believers were. There was no middle ground - people either believed in the MJ-12 papers completely or laughed at them. 
    	Decades later, it’s finally possible to take a more balanced view of the history of the MJ-12 papers, including where these documents originated from and who created them. It now seems virtually certain that there never was an organization called Majestic 12 and that the papers describing it were faked, but what makes the story truly fascinating is that it now also appears likely that these papers were faked by people actually working within the Air Force or another government agency.

    The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers.
    Conraad de Rosner is one of the first game rangers to focus on working with specially trained dogs to protect wildlife from poachers – both 'bushmeat' poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world.
    Con's life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of two fellow rangers; on another occasion, Zingela alerted Con to a concealed wounded buffalo, one of Africa's most dangerous animals, about to charge.
    When Zingela was tragically killed, hit by a car while Con was away, the only meagre consolation was that Con had kept Landa, one of the nine puppies sired by Zingela. Landa followed in his father's footsteps as the leader of the canine anti-poaching team that is still operating today. Con's story is an epic of modern-day African wildlife conservation, filled with courage, adventure and romance.
