Sinossi

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.

    'I often sit by the bank of the small river that flows through our farm in County Wicklow, fascinated by its many moods ... Getting to know a river is like reading the story of a person's life ...  from its young energetic stages in the hills to the slower-moving mature river, through to the tranquil water of lakes and finally to its resting place in the sea.'
    Richard Nairn is an ecologist who has been visiting waterways around Ireland for over half a century, fascinated by how they sustain and enrich our lives. Here he sets out on a year-long adventure to explore every stretch and tributary of the Avonmore River, which runs through Co. Wicklow. From source to sea, he immerses himself in the wildlife, archaeology, history and people connected to the river. Travelling to explore more of Ireland's rivers, lakes, wet woodlands, ponds and canals, Richard details encounters with dragonflies, crayfish, otters and great flocks of migratory waterbirds, and finds himself awestruck by the sense of a lost wilderness they convey.
    With our waterways now under serious threat, this is a love letter to Ireland's rivers and lakes, and a reminder of what we stand to lose.
    'Opens the window into a watery world. Personal yet panoramic.' Colin Stafford-Johnson, filmmaker.
