Sinopsis

Platypus Electrolocation explores the remarkable sensory biology of platypuses, focusing on their unique ability to hunt underwater using electrolocation—detecting the faint electrical signals emitted by prey. This fascinating adaptation allows them to find food even in murky conditions where sight and touch are limited.

 
The book examines how this sensory capability challenges conventional understanding of mammalian sensory limitations, highlighting the potential for unexpected adaptations in the animal kingdom. It also shows how the platypus's electroreceptors are located in its bill and the neural pathways process electrical stimuli.

 
The book emphasizes that platypus electrolocation represents a prime example of convergent evolution, illustrating how different species independently evolve similar traits to thrive in specific ecological niches. Presenting an interdisciplinary approach, the book integrates anatomical, physiological, and behavioral data to provide a comprehensive account of this phenomenon.

 
Beginning with the history of platypus biology, the book progresses through the biophysics of electrolocation, the anatomy and physiology of electroreceptors, neural processing, ecological implications, and conservation concerns. It also touches on real-world applications like biomimetic sensors.

    I've always been fascinated by Argentina, with its vibrant culture, delicious food, and passionate people. But it wasn't until I dove into its history that I truly fell in love with this country. The struggles for independence, the golden age of immigration, the rise and fall of dictators – it's all here, waiting for you to discover. 
    And it's not just the history that makes this audiobook so special. You'll also hear from the people who make up this amazing country – the musicians, the writers, the everyday folks who call Argentina home. They'll share their stories and give you a glimpse into the heart and soul of this place. 
    So what are you waiting for? If you're ready for an adventure, if you're ready to be transported to a land of passion and intrigue, if you're ready to fall in love with Argentina like I did, then don't hesitate. Get your hands (or your ears) on this audiobook and let the journey begin.

    Ever wondered when board games got so good? 
     
    The last forty years have seen nothing short of a revolution in the world of tabletop games. No longer synonymous with family arguments over a game of Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit, board games and the once niche hobby of tabletop gaming have moved into the mainstream over the last four decades, with modern  
    classics like CATAN, Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne becoming established household names. 
     
    In this informative and entertaining volume, this revolution in tabletop gaming is revealed and reviewed by one of the most knowledgeable commentators there is.  
     
    James Wallis explores the evolving world of board games through the lens of the Spiel des Jahres, Germany’s prestigious Game of the Year award, looking at a host of past winners catapulted to worldwide popularity, once lauded games now sadly forgotten, and a few popular hits that somehow missed out. Alongside this, Wallis  
    expertly chronicles the increasing sophistication in the design of modern board games and their ever growing variety.  
     
    Everybody Wins is a book for anyone who loves games, wonders what all the fuss is about or just wants to know what to play next—the essential, hugely readable study of the modern board game.

    Written with equal parts candor and lyricism, Pam Houston illuminates the interconnected histories of abortion in the United States and in her own life during the decades when Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. Houston guides us through the shifting landscapes of politics, the law, and self-determination in a country where access to medical care and the power to determine your own destiny are increasingly—and once again—dependent on geography and circumstance.

    A Survival Guide for People Who Overthink Breathing 
    Do you lie awake at night replaying that weird thing you said in 2014? Do you spend more time analyzing text messages than actually responding to them? Do you sometimes mistake mild discomfort for a full-blown medical emergency? 
    Congratulations! You have anxiety. 
    "Everything Is Fine (Unless It’s Not, In Which Case, Panic)" is the book for anyone who has ever: 
    ✅ Imagined an entire argument that never actually happened. 
    ✅ Thought someone hated them because they used a period instead of an exclamation mark. 
    ✅ Googled their symptoms and immediately planned their funeral. 
    This is not a self-help book. This is a validation of your deeply chaotic existence—a hilarious, biting, and painfully relatable deep dive into the spirals, overthinking, and worst-case-scenario fantasies that come with having a brain that refuses to chill. 
    Inside, you’ll find: 
    🔹 The Social Anxiety Checklist™ (includes "Laughed weirdly and immediately regretted it") 
    🔹 A guide to Overanalyzing Texts (Spoiler: Just Stop) 
    🔹 A Flowchart for Deciding Whether to Send That Apology Text (Spoiler: Don’t Do It) 
    🔹 Proof that your boss’s "Good morning" email is not a secret plan to fire you 
    If you’ve ever wished you could return your brain for one that doesn’t assume the worst at all times, this book is for you. Laugh through the panic—because if you can’t fix it, you might as well make fun of it.
