Sinossi

"Hiding Animals" explores the fascinating world of animal camouflage, a critical survival strategy in nature. Through ingenious adaptations, animals use color and pattern to blend seamlessly into their surroundings, avoiding predators or ambushing prey.

 
The book reveals that camouflage is more than a simple visual trick; it's a complex interplay of genetics, behavior, and environmental factors, crucial for species survival amidst habitat loss and climate change.

 
Did you know that chameleons use specialized cells called iridophores to dramatically change color, or that owls' plumage patterns help them vanish into forests?

 
The book begins with a foundation in color theory and animal vision before delving into specific examples. It progresses through chapters focusing on chameleons, owls, and fish, showcasing diverse strategies like disruptive coloration and countershading.

 
This approach highlights the underlying principles and evolutionary drivers behind these remarkable adaptations, making it a valuable resource for nature enthusiasts and biology students alike.

 
The book emphasizes how camouflage principles have even inspired innovations in military technology and art.

That's Not Funny - How the Right...

Matt Sienkiewicz, Nick Marx

A 2022 Best Comedy Book, Vulture 
 
 
 
"Why do conservatives hate comedy? Why is there no right-wing Jon Stewart?" These sorts of questions launch a million tweets, a thousand op-eds, and more than a few scholarly analyses. That's Not Funny argues that it is both an intellectual and politically strategic mistake to assume that comedy has a liberal bias. Matt Sienkiewicz and Nick Marx take listeners—particularly self-described liberals—on a tour of contemporary conservative comedy and the "right-wing comedy complex." 
 
 
  
In That's Not Funny, "complex" takes on an important double meaning. On the one hand, liberals have developed a social-psychological complex—it feels difficult, even dangerous, to acknowledge that their political opposition can produce comedy. At the same time, the right has been slowly building up a comedy-industrial complex, utilizing the irony-laden media strategies of liberals such as Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee, and John Oliver to garner audiences and supporters. Right-wing comedy has been hiding in plain sight, finding its way into mainstream conservative media through figures ranging from Fox News's Greg Gutfeld to libertarian podcasters like Joe Rogan. That's Not Funny taps interviews with conservative comedians and observations of them in action to guide listeners through media history, text, and technique.

The Kindred of the Wild - A Book...

Charles G. D. Roberts

Animal stories written from the animal's side, without speech or moral - a lynx, a bear, a porcupine, each in a world of hunger and weather. Roberts and Ernest Thompson Seton invented this kind of story between them, and Roosevelt joined the public quarrel about whether it was honest natural history. Eleven plates by Corot and Daubigny carry the same weather and open ground the animals live in, from Fontainebleau oaks to fields and river scenes.
