Synopsis

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.

    On Nami’s thirtieth birthday, she’s reminded at every turn that her life isn’t what she’d planned. She’s always excelled at everything—until now. Her fiancé blew up their engagement. Her pride and joy, the tech company she helped to found, is about to lose funding. And her sister, Sora, is getting married to the man of her dreams, Jack—and instead of being happy for her, as Nami knows she ought to be, she’s fighting off jealousy. 
     
    Frustrated with her life, she makes a wish on a birthday candle to find her soulmate. Instead the universe delivers her hate mate, Nami’s old nemesis, Jae Lee, the most popular kid from her high school, who also narrowly beat her out for valedictorian. More than a decade later, Jae is still as effortlessly cool, charming, and stylish as ever, and, to make matters worse, he’s planning a hostile takeover of her start-up. Cue sharp elbows and even sharper banter as the two go head-to-head to see who’ll win this time. But when their rivalry ignites a different kind of passion, Nami starts to realize it’s not just her company that’s in danger of being taken over, but her heart as well.

    The story of British luxury interiors brand House of Hackney’s regenerative journey—and what every business and consumer can learn from it. 
     
    ‘Creativity with purpose, integrity in action, compassion for people and planet means working with Nature as our partner.’ 
     
    In the Company of Nature is the story of British interiors brand, House of Hackney’s regenerative journey to put Nature and our Future Generations at the heart of their business. Founded by Frieda Gormley, with her husband Javvy M Royle, Nature had always been their design muse but they came to realize that Nature needed to be even more central to their business – and lives. What started as a design brand became the framework for something far greater: a journey into how beauty, creativity and business itself might serve life, with Nature as its core. 
     
    The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how a SME (small and medium-sized enterprise), which makes up 99.9 per cent of all businesses, can be a catalyst for change and collectively bring about cultural, political and economic transformation. The opportunity for business to help solve some of the greatest crises of our time is immense. Business is one of the most powerful levers we have – to model change, to demonstrate new ways of being and doing that honours all life, and to use the influence of brand to shift the cultural narrative. 
     
    Underlying this call-to-action is Frieda’s powerful vision for humankind as part of Nature, not separate from it, regenerating, not extracting.
