Summary

Icebergs Hold Life unveils the surprisingly vibrant ecosystems thriving within these seemingly barren polar structures, highlighting their critical role in polar biodiversity. These floating islands aren't just inert blocks of ice; they serve as mobile oases, supporting a diverse array of life. The book explores how icebergs function as crucial habitats and dispersal mechanisms, challenging conventional views of polar ecosystems.

 
Did you know that icebergs play a vital role in nutrient cycling, distributing essential elements throughout polar waters? Or that various species, from microorganisms to larger animals, depend on these icy habitats for survival?

 
The book progresses from the geological origins of icebergs to the biological communities that colonize them. It explores the intricate ecological interactions within these ecosystems, focusing on food webs and species dispersal. By integrating perspectives from oceanography, climate science, and conservation biology, Icebergs Hold Life offers a holistic understanding of these unique environments.

 
The book emphasizes the threats these ecosystems face, particularly from climate change, and proposes potential conservation strategies.

    What is the role of activists and civil society in defining and defending the collective good in healthcare, especially in cases where that good seems to be heavily shaped by market dynamics? Presenting conceptual and empirical studies from a variety of healthcare contexts and theoretical perspectives, this book addresses this vital question by drawing together multidisciplinary scholarship from science and technology studies, sociology, organization studies, marketing, philosophy, and public health. 
 
 
 
Healthcare has undergone three major changes over the past decades: the advent of personalized medicine, the marketization of public care systems, and the digitalization of healthcare services. This book maps these changes and illustrates the extent to which they are interlinked to produce a seemingly unstoppable move toward individualization in healthcare. The book also traces how activists react to these tensions to argue for and defend the common good. It thus sketches a multifaceted picture of healthcare activism in the twenty-first century as civil society responds to these dynamics at the crossroads of markets and morals, economic and social justifications, individual and collective, and digital and non-digital worlds. Crucially, it also highlights potential solutions in a post Covid-19 world.

    Teeth have played a crucial role in the survival and adaptation of countless species throughout history. Their development and evolution provide insight into the dietary habits, environmental changes, and biological adaptations of various organisms, including humans. From primitive jawless fish to modern mammals, the transformation of teeth reflects an ongoing evolutionary process shaped by natural selection and functional necessity. 
The earliest evidence of tooth-like structures dates back over 500 million years to the era of jawless fish. These ancient creatures possessed dermal denticles—small, tooth-like scales covering their bodies—that provided protection and may have eventually contributed to the formation of true teeth. As vertebrates evolved, the emergence of jaws revolutionized feeding strategies, allowing for more efficient food consumption and leading to the diversification of teeth in different species. 
In early jawed fish, known as placoderms, teeth were not yet distinct from the jawbone but were integrated into it. Over time, evolutionary pressures favored the development of separate, more specialized teeth. This adaptation enabled vertebrates to exploit a wider range of food sources, leading to increased survival and reproduction. With the rise of sharks and bony fish, teeth became more complex, capable of being replaced throughout an organism’s life, a trait still seen in many species today.

    The story of herring is entwined in the history of commercial fishing. For over two millennia, herring has been commercially caught and its importance to the coastal peoples of Britain cannot be measured. At one point tens of thousands were involved in the catching, processing and sale of herring. They followed the shoals around the coast from Stornoway to Penzance and many towns on Britain's east coast grew rich on the backs of the 'silver darlings'.
Fishing historian Mike Smylie looks at the effects of herring on the people who caught them, their unique ways of life, the superstitions of the fisher folk, their boats and the communities who lived for the silver darlings.
With a wealth of illustrations, this fascinating book reveals the little-known history of the herring. And for those who've neglected the silver darlings for lesser fish such as cod and haddock, there are a number of mouth-watering recipes to try.
