Sinopsis

Snakes' Infrared Sight reveals the hidden world perceived through temperature by certain snakes. Pit vipers, boas, and pythons possess the remarkable ability to "see" heat, enabling them to hunt warm-blooded prey in complete darkness. The book delves into the biological mechanisms, evolutionary history, and ecological implications of this infrared vision.

 
For example, some snakes can detect temperature differences as small as 0.003 degrees Celsius, and this thermal sensitivity plays a crucial role in predator-prey dynamics, allowing snakes to effectively exploit nocturnal environments. The book explores the anatomy and physiology of snake infrared receptors, the evolutionary origins of thermal imaging, and the behavioral impact of infrared sensitivity.

 
It traces the neural pathways from the receptors to the brain, explaining how snakes process thermal information to create a "thermal image" of their surroundings, offering a comprehensive synthesis of current scientific knowledge. This unique sensory adaptation highlights the intricate interplay between genes, environment, and natural selection, showcasing how specialized sensory systems evolve to meet specific ecological challenges.

The Green Funeral - Honoring the...

Sequola Dawson, Dr. Jonathan C....

The care of creation is the responsibility of all Christians.
Join Sequola Dawson in her insightful exploration of death rituals as she examines funerals, memorials, and burial practices, urging us to take ownership and recognize the vital interdependence between humanity, the earth, and all living organisms, advocating for a more ecologically responsible approach to caring for creation.
The Green Funeral introduces readers to evolving attitudes toward death, the death care industry, and our faith. Dawson not only delves into burial traditions within the African American community but outlines innovative practices suited for a new generation of multicultural churchgoers and those who do not identify with any religious tradition.
Dawson sheds light on the often-ignored economics behind the funeral industry, challenging us to consider the implications of "putting money in the ground." Many of us are unprepared for the death of a loved one, leaving us to ponder who bears the burden of caring for the deceased. With thousands of dollars spent on burials, Dawson argues for a more responsible approach—one that acknowledges the environmental impact of traditional practices and seeks to honor our loved ones without compromising the land they leave behind.
Dawson's unique perspective on death stems from her experiences in academia, the military, family life, and engineering, as well as her journey as a cancer survivor. She artfully weaves together the languages of all these worlds collectively raising a voice for better creation care—even in death.
"In The Green Funeral: Honoring the Environment While Beautifying Funeral Practices, Rev. Sequola Dawson speaks to the black church, but invites us all to contemplate our last impact on God's good earth. Let us all prayerfully consider returning to the dust from which we came as nourishment to the sacred land."—Rev. Carol L. Devine, Director of Blessed Tomorrow
