Synopsis

Taste Bud Evolution explores the captivating science behind taste perception across the animal kingdom, revealing how taste receptors have evolved under the influence of dietary habits and environmental pressures. The book elucidates how natural selection shapes taste preferences, influencing animal behavior, ecology, and even conservation efforts.One intriguing insight is how carnivorous mammals like cats have lost their sweet taste receptors, demonstrating adaptation to a meat-based diet. Taste perception also plays a significant role in plant-animal interactions, where plants evolve to produce compounds that either attract or repel animals.The book begins with an introduction to the fundamental principles of taste receptor biology, including molecular genetics and neurobiology, and progresses to explore the comparative genomics of taste receptors across diverse species. It presents data from genomic databases, behavioral studies, and ecological surveys to highlight the intricate relationship between taste, diet, and evolution.The book emphasizes the ecological significance of taste perception by examining how taste preferences influence food choices, foraging strategies, and habitat selection.

    Inshallah United: A story of...

    Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Awards 2023 
    Nooruddean Choudry was born in 1979 — the year Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose, Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the last Shah of Iran, and Tim Martin opened his first Wetherspoons. Also that year, a local football club lost the Cup Final to Arsenal courtesy of a man named Sunderland. That club would become an all-consuming obsession for young Nooruddean, who would one day become a small brown man and, vitally, also a Red. 
    Inshallah United is the story of the first British-born son of a Pakistani family living in England’s second city. And geography is important, because if it wasn't for his mum and dad settling in Manchester rather than anywhere else in the world, so much of what makes up Nooruddean's identity could have been so different. As it was, he grew up as a Muslim, Manchester United supporting, Morrissey-loving, Maggie-hating, working-class Manc. 
    Inshallah United is about growing up as a strictly halal Stretford Ender; a devout Muslim and diehard Red. It’s about praying five times a day that United would sign Alan Shearer and knock the Scousers off their perch. And it’s a deeply personal account of life as a Muslim Asian Mancunian kid in the late 80s and 90s, bookmarked by the most successful period in Manchester United's history. 
    Inshallah United, the latest memoir by Nooruddean Choudry, is a top-rated autobiography that offers a humorous and heartfelt exploration of his life as a devout Muslim and diehard Red. This biography is a must-read for those interested in the topic of cultural identity and recreation. 
    For fans of Chris Blackhurst (The World's Biggest Cash Machine), Wayne Barton (The Last Busby Babe), Jonathan Wilson (Kick and Run), Andy Spinoza (Manchester unspun), and Rob Carless (Here, There & Everywhere).

    Global warming, loss of biodiversity, and toxic chemicals are undermining the ability of the planet to support complex life. Routinely overlooked in causing our current predicament is that several million years of evolution has predisposed Homo sapiens, both anatomically and behaviorally, to vanishing.A former endangered species biologist looks at the ongoing sixth mass extinction through the prism of human behavior, personal experience, ecology, evolutionary biology, and contemporary conservation efforts. He provides new insights into factors triggering the current mass extinction event and examines conventional wisdom regarding human intelligence. The author suggests—as humanity edges ever closer to disappearing forever—a clear-eyed, real-world rationale for resignation but also acceptance.Foreward by Sue Coulstock; Foreward narrated by Heather Henderson
