Sinossi

Salt Grows Crystals unveils the hidden stories within salt deposits, exploring halite formation as a key to understanding Earth's past. Delving into mineralogy, the book reveals how seemingly simple salt crystals act as geological archives, preserving records of ancient seas and climate patterns. Readers will discover how evaporation rates and water chemistry influence halite precipitation, and how analyzing salt formations helps reconstruct past sea levels and tectonic events.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the practical applications of halite research, linking Earth sciences and environmental science. By examining salt deposits from diverse locations, it illustrates how these formations provide insights into climate change and resource availability. It progresses by first introducing halite's fundamental properties, then exploring evaporite formation stages, and finally presenting geological case studies, demonstrating how halite analysis reconstructs past environmental conditions.

 
This interdisciplinary approach, connecting geochemistry, sedimentary geology, and hydrology, makes Salt Grows Crystals valuable for students, geologists, and anyone intrigued by the natural world. The book's accessible style avoids technical jargon, making complex concepts understandable and showcasing the critical role of salt in shaping our planet.

    Playing Possum - How Animals...

    When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom. 
     
     
     
    With humor and empathy, Susana Monsó tells the stories of ants who attend their own funerals, chimpanzees who clean the teeth of their dead, dogs who snack on their caregivers, crows who avoid the places where they saw a carcass, elephants obsessed with collecting ivory, and whales who carry their dead for weeks. Monsó, one of today's leading experts on animal cognition and ethics, shows how there are more ways to conceive of mortality than the human way, and challenges the notion that the only emotional reactions to death worthy of our attention are ones that resemble our own. 
     
     
     
    Blending philosophical insight with new evidence from behavioral science and comparative psychology, Playing Possum dispels the anthropocentric biases that cloud our understanding of the natural world, and reveals that, when it comes to death and dying, we are just another animal.

    Selecting the right bird and creating a comfortable living environment are crucial first steps in ensuring a happy and healthy life for your feathered companion. The process begins with understanding your own lifestyle and preferences, as this will help you choose a bird species that aligns with your needs. Birds vary widely in size, temperament, and care requirements. For example, small species like canaries and finches are low-maintenance and ideal for beginners, while parrots and cockatoos demand more attention and interaction due to their intelligence and social nature. 
    Once you’ve chosen your bird, setting up an appropriate home is the next essential step. A well-chosen cage serves as both a sanctuary and a playground for your bird, so it’s important to select one that suits its size and activity level. Smaller birds require less space but still benefit from a cage that allows for free movement, while larger species need ample room to stretch their wings and explore. The spacing between the bars should be appropriate for your bird’s size to ensure safety and prevent escapes. 
    Inside the cage, include essentials that will keep your bird comfortable and stimulated. Perches of varying diameters are necessary for maintaining foot health and simulating a natural environment. Food and water dishes should be easily accessible and kept clean at all times. Additionally, toys such as swings, bells, and chewable items are vital for mental stimulation and preventing boredom. Birds are intelligent and curious creatures, so rotating toys periodically will keep them engaged.
