Summary

Lemur Scent Communication explores the fascinating world of how lemurs use scent markings to navigate their complex social lives. Scent communication isn't just rudimentary; it's a nuanced system conveying individual identity, social status, and reproductive condition. Delving into primate behavior and chemical ecology, the book reveals how scent plays a vital role in maintaining social cohesion and regulating reproductive success within lemur communities.

 
The book progresses from introducing lemur olfactory systems and scent secretion chemistry to exploring scent-marking behaviors and their function in establishing dominance and advertising reproductive status. Detailed analyses of scent mark chemical composition reveal how subtle variations convey specific information.

 
Understanding lemur scent communication is crucial for conservation, informing habitat management and mitigating human-wildlife conflict. The book synthesizes decades of research, incorporating new findings from field studies and laboratory analyses to offer a comprehensive view.

The Real Business of IT - How...

George Westerman, Richard Hunter

If you're a general manager or CFO, do you feel you're spending too much on IT or wishing you could get better returns from your IT investments? If so, it's time to examine what's behind this IT-as-cost mind-set. 
 
 
 
In The Real Business of IT, Richard Hunter and George Westerman reveal that the cost mind-set stems from IT leaders' inability to communicate about the business value they create—so CIOs get stuck discussing budgets rather than their contributions to the organization. 
 
 
 
The authors explain how IT leaders can combat this mind-set by first using information technology to generate three forms of value important to leaders throughout the organization: 
 
 
 
● Value for money when your IT department operates efficiently and effectively 
 
 
 
● An investment in business performance evidenced when IT helps divisions, units, and departments boost profitability 
 
 
 
● Personal value of CIOs as leaders whose contributions to their enterprise go well beyond their area of specialization 
 
 
 
The authors show how to communicate about these forms of value with non-IT leaders—so they understand how your firm is benefiting and see IT as the strategic powerhouse it truly is.

How Light Makes Life - The...

Raffael Jovine

A revelatory journey into the beautifully intricate conversion of light into life, key to every living thing's survival—and our planet's future 
 
 
 
We think we know photosynthesis: Plants convert of sunlight, CO2, and water into energy and, ultimately, the food we eat and air we breathe. But Raffael Jovine shows how this incredible process goes beyond what we learned in grade school. First, it's not only about plants: Corals partner with photosynthetic organisms to create the most productive habitat on Earth, slugs eat chloroplasts to create a photosynthesis-based camouflage, hornets use photosynthesis for a very unconventional form of air conditioning—and much more! 
 
 
 
Further, photosynthesis can help save the world. Jovine's groundbreaking blueprint for the future harnesses photosynthesis to repair ecosystems, create jobs, and grow sustainable food. This book will help you to see the many surprising ways we can't live without this miracle of light—through the photosynthetic pigments in your own eyes!

Albert Einstein - Father Of The...

Michael W. Simmons

Albert Einstein is universally regarded as the most brilliant scientist of the 20th century. In 1905, during his “Miracle Year” as a clerk in the Swiss patent office, he wrote four papers that revolutionized the field of theoretical physics. Over the course of his career, Einstein introduced modern science to the concept of space-time, inadvertently launched America on the path towards developing the atomic bomb, and was offered the presidency of Israel. He was the first scientific superstar—a world-wide celebrity whose popularity was matched only by his astounding feats of imagination. 
In his later years Albert Einstein was known as a gentle and lovable man who forgot his socks and rarely combed his hair. But he was much more than an absent-minded genius. He was a fierce individualist, who, as a teenager, renounced his German citizenship rather than serve in the army. As a rebel against every form of authority, an outspoken enemy of anti-Semitism and fascism, and a socialist with an enduring commitment to social justice, you will learn in this book that even as Einstein was setting Newtonian physics on its ear, he considered his most important work to be about something very different: the bettering of humanity.
