Sinossi

Strangler Fig Strategy explores the fascinating and complex life cycle of strangler figs, plants that begin life as epiphytes high in the rainforest canopy before ultimately strangling their host trees. This book delves into the ecological observations and biological mechanisms driving this parasitic relationship, revealing its broader implications for forest ecosystems. It highlights the fig's unique adaptations, such as specialized roots and drought-resistant leaves, and details the step-by-step process of strangulation, from seed germination to the host's eventual demise. The book argues that this seemingly destructive behavior is a highly evolved survival strategy shaped by intense competition for resources. It examines how strangler figs create unique microhabitats, impacting forest structure and species composition while providing shelter and food for various animals. The book progresses from introducing the strangler fig family to exploring the evolutionary pressures behind their strategy and the ecological consequences of their presence in tropical forests.

    Hope Not Nope powerfully moves you towards a more positive existence by equipping you with the tools to update your mindset and become a modern-day champion. In the title and writing the term “Lifelong Athlete” is utilized to imply hope is cultivated in this identity, but also adds a fresh perspective: Hope is not wishful thinking, it’s learned and earned. The “Lifelong Athlete” identity is not just related to competitive events, it’s living out the values of servant-based leadership to achieve wholeness: Health. 
    “It is rare to hold such a comprehensive, point, and powerful compilation of all that is positive in my hands. I have to go back to The Power Of Positive Thinking, written by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale in 1952, to find its equal." ~Tim Green, NY Times Best Selling Author, Former Atlanta Falcons Star Defensive End

    Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868–1953) and Arthur Compton (1892–1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays. Confirmed in 1912, cosmic rays—enigmatic forms of penetrating radiation—seemed to raise all new questions about the origins of the universe, but they also offered the potential to explain everything—or reveal the existence of God. 
     
     
     
    In engaging, accessible prose, Wolverton takes the listener through the twists and turns of the Millikan-Compton debate, one of the first major public examples of how heated the controversies among scientists could become—and the lengths that scientists would go to settle their disputes. Along the way, Wolverton probes the forever elusive question, still unanswered today, about where cosmic rays come from and what they reveal about black holes, distant galaxies, the existence of dark matter and dark energy, and the birth of the universe, concluding that these splinters of infinity may not hold the keys to the secret of creation but do bring us ever closer to it.

    The first full-length history of biomedical research with human subjects in the period "before Tuskegee"—from 1890 to 1940 
     
     
     
    Long before the U.S. government began conducting secret radiation and germ-warfare experiments, and long before the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, medical professionals had introduced—and hotly debated the ethics of—the use of human subjects in medical experiments. In Subjected to Science, Susan Lederer provides the first full-length history of biomedical research with human subjects in the earlier period, from 1890 to 1940. 
     
     
     
    Lederer offers detailed accounts of experiments—benign and otherwise—conducted on both healthy and unhealthy men, women, and children, including the yellow fever experiments (which ultimately became the subject of a Broadway play and Hollywood film), Udo Wile's "dental drill" experiments on insane patients, and Hideyo Noguchi's syphilis experiments, which involved injecting a number of healthy children and adults with the syphilis germ, luetin.

    The Honey Trap - How the Good...

    The last decade has seen an explosion of urban beekeeping in the US, Canada, and Europe, a well-intentioned response to perceived threats to the global honey bee population. Many thousands of people have taken up this seemingly environmentally friendly hobby, tending backyard and rooftop hives (or paying a company to do so) and encouraging honey bees to make honey and pollinate flowers. What could be wrong with that? 
     
     
     
    Quite a lot, in fact. In The Honey Trap, scientist and author Dana Church demonstrates that despite reports to the contrary, honey bees are nowhere near extinction. Rather, their nurturing by urban beekeepers is having far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the 19,999 other species of bees on the planet, with knock-on effects for plants, both cultivated and wild, and our ecosystems more generally. 
     
     
     
    With engaging storytelling and a wealth of knowledge about bees and their ways, Church unravels the complexities of human interactions with our winged friends and demonstrates how dangerously selfish our thinking can be. It's a wake-up call for humanity to embrace sustainable practices and protect these vital pollinators before it's too late.
