Sinopse

Ladybug Myths explores the often misunderstood world of ladybugs, revealing their complex biology and ecological importance. It emphasizes their significance as biological control agents in sustainable agriculture, challenging common misconceptions about these beneficial insects. Did you know that ladybugs possess sophisticated defense mechanisms, including the production of alkaloids, and utilize aposematic coloration to warn predators? The book investigates these fascinating aspects of their survival, connecting chemical ecology and evolutionary biology to their role in agricultural landscapes.

 
The book progresses from an introduction to ladybug diversity and life cycles to an in-depth analysis of their defense mechanisms and predatory behavior. It culminates in a discussion of their practical applications in pest control, highlighting strategies for attracting and conserving them. Unlike many popular accounts, this book relies on scientific research, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in nature and entomology.

    When viewed from a quiet beach, the ocean, with its rolling waves and vast expanse, can seem calm, even serene. But hidden beneath the sea’s waves are a staggering abundance and variety of active creatures, engaged in the never-ending struggles of life—to reproduce, to eat, and to avoid being eaten. With Sex, Drugs, and Sea Slime, marine scientist Ellen Prager takes us deep into the sea to introduce an astonishing cast of fascinating and bizarre creatures that make the salty depths their home. From the tiny but voracious arrow worms whose rapacious ways may lead to death by overeating, to the lobsters that battle rivals or seduce mates with their urine, to the sea’s masters of disguise, the octopuses, Prager not only brings to life the ocean’s strange creatures, but also reveals the ways they interact as predators, prey, or potential mates. And while these animals make for some jaw-dropping stories—witness the sea cucumber, which ejects its own intestines to confuse predators, or the hagfish that ties itself into a knot to keep from suffocating in its own slime—there’s far more to Prager’s account than her ever-entertaining anecdotes: again and again, she illustrates the crucial connections between life in the ocean and humankind, in everything from our food supply to our economy, and in drug discovery, biomedical research, and popular culture. Written with a diver’s love of the ocean, a novelist’s skill at storytelling, and a scientist’s deep knowledge, Sex, Drugs, and Sea Slime enchants as it educates, enthralling us with the wealth of life in the sea—and reminding us of the need to protect it.

  • Returning the Self to Nature - Undoing Our Collective Narcissism and Healing Our Planet - cover

    Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
     
     
     
    Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
     
     
       
    Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
     
      
     
    Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.

    Sound waves are a fundamental aspect of physics, representing mechanical vibrations that travel through a medium. Unlike electromagnetic waves, which can propagate through the vacuum of space, sound waves require a material medium such as air, water, or solid substances. These waves are generated when an object vibrates, causing nearby particles in the medium to oscillate. As these particles move back and forth, they transfer energy to adjacent particles, creating a propagating wave of compression and rarefaction. This process continues outward from the source, allowing sound to travel over distances. 
    The two primary types of waves in physics are transverse and longitudinal waves. Sound waves fall into the category of longitudinal waves, meaning that the oscillations of the particles occur parallel to the direction of wave propagation. In contrast, transverse waves, such as water waves and electromagnetic waves, involve oscillations perpendicular to their direction of movement. In a sound wave, regions of compression correspond to areas where particles are densely packed together, while regions of rarefaction represent areas where the particles are spread apart. This alternating pattern of compression and rarefaction allows the wave to carry energy without transporting matter itself.
