Synopsis

"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.

State of Disaster - The Failure...

Maria Cristina Garcia

Natural disasters and the dire effects of climate change cause massive population displacements and lead to some of the most intractable political and humanitarian challenges seen today. Yet, as Maria Cristina Garcia observes in this critical history of U.S. policy on migration in the Global South, there is actually no such thing as a "climate refugee" under current U.S. law. Most initiatives intended to assist those who must migrate are flawed and ineffective from inception because they are derived from outmoded policies. In a world of climate change, U.S. refugee policy simply does not work. 
 
 
 
Garcia focuses on Central America and the Caribbean, where natural disasters have repeatedly worsened poverty, inequality, and domestic and international political tensions. She explains that the creation of better U.S. policy for those escaping disasters is severely limited by the 1980 Refugee Act, which continues to be applied almost exclusively for reasons of persecution directly related to politics, race, religion, and identity. Garcia contends that the United States must transform its outdated migration policies to address today's realities. Climate change and natural disasters are here to stay, and much of the human devastation left in their wake is essentially a policy choice.

Hubris - The Rise Fall and...

Thomas Trappe, Johannes Krause

Humans are the most intelligent beings this planet has ever produced. But how is it that we find ourselves faced with an existential crisis that threatens to overwhelm us? 
 
 
 
Leading archaeogeneticist Johannes Krause and journalist Thomas Trappe investigate what DNA can tell us about how we got where we are and what our future might be. They show how the first humans were defeated again and again and suffered fatal setbacks, and how Homo sapiens succeeded in conquering continents, overcoming natural borders, and bringing other species under its control. But the genetic blueprint that enabled us to get to the place where we are today had one flaw: it didn't factor in planetary boundaries. Now that we are approaching those boundaries for the first time after millions of years of evolution, an urgent question arises: can we learn to live within the planetary limits, or are we doomed by our DNA to continue to expand, consume, and absorb the resources around us to the point of exhaustion, consigning ourselves and other species to extinction? 
 
 
 
While the looming climate crisis does not augur well for humanity's capacity to adapt to the new situation in which it finds itself, we are not at the mercy of our DNA—or at least we don't have to be. But can we harness the lessons of the past to survive the present?

We Are the Weather - Saving the...

Jonathan Safran Foer

This program is read by the author. In We Are the Weather, Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent new way.   Some people reject the fact, overwhelmingly supported by scientists, that our planet is warming because of human activity. But do those of us who accept the reality of human-caused climate change truly believe it? If we did, surely we would be roused to act on what we know. Will future generations distinguish between those who didn’t believe in the science of global warming and those who said they accepted the science but failed to change their lives in response?The task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with ourselves—with our all-too-human reluctance to sacrifice immediate comfort for the sake of the future. We have, he reveals, turned our planet into a farm for growing animal products, and the consequences are catastrophic. Only collective action will save our home and way of life. And it all starts with what we eat—and don’t eat—for breakfast.
