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.

    The Four-Dimensional Human -...

    You are a four-dimensional human. 
    Each of us exists in three-dimensional physical space. But, as a constellation of everyday digital phenomena rewires our lives, we are increasingly coaxed from the containment of our predigital selves into a wonderful and eerie fourth dimension, a world of ceaseless communication, instant information, and global connection. 
    Our portals to this new world have been wedged open, and the silhouette of a figure is slowly taking shape. But what does it feel like to be four-dimensional? How do digital technologies influence the rhythms of our thoughts, the style and tilt of our consciousness? What new sensitivities and sensibilities are emerging with our exposure to the delights, sorrows, and anxieties of a networked world? And how do we live in public with these recoded private lives? 
    Laurence Scott―hailed as a "New Generation Thinker" by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the BBC―shows how this four-dimensional life is dramatically changing us by redefining our social lives and extending the limits of our presence in the world. Blending tech philosophy with insights on everything from Seinfeld to the fall of Gaddafi, Scott stands with a rising generation of social critics hoping to understand our new reality. His virtuosic debut is a revelatory and original exploration of life in the digital age.

    The Elements of Mammalogy is one of seven in a Series of First Books of Natural History Prepared for the Use of Schools and Colleges.

    What Does God Think about Technology?
    From smartphones to self-driving cars to space travel, new technologies can inspire us. But the breakneck pace of change can also frighten us. So how do Christians walk by faith through the innovations of Silicon Valley? And how does God relate to our most powerful innovators?
    To build a biblical theology of technology, journalist and tech optimist Tony Reinke examines nine key texts from Scripture to show how the world's discoveries are divinely orchestrated. Ultimately, what we believe about God determines how we respond to human invention. With the help of several theologians and inventors throughout history, Reinke dispels twelve common myths in the church and offers fourteen ethical convictions to help Christians live by faith in the age of big tech.
