Sinopse

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.

    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.

    After a decade of chasing stories around the globe, intrepid travel writer Stephanie Elizondo Griest followed the magnetic pull home—only to discover that her native South Texas had been radically transformed in her absence.  
    Ravaged by drug wars and barricaded by an eighteen-foot steel wall, her ancestral land had become the nation’s foremost crossing ground for undocumented workers, many of whom perished along the way. The frequency of these tragedies seemed like a terrible coincidence, before Elizondo Griest moved to the New York–Canada borderlands.  
    Once she began to meet Mohawks from the Akwesasne Nation, however, she recognized striking parallels to life on the southern border. Having lost their land through devious treaties, their mother tongues at English-only schools, and their traditional occupations through capitalist ventures, Tejanos and Mohawks alike struggle under the legacy of colonialism. Toxic industries surround their neighborhoods while the US Border Patrol militarizes them. Combating these forces are legions of artists and activists devoted to preserving their indigenous cultures. Complex belief systems, meanwhile, conjure miracles. In All the Agents and Saints, Elizondo Griest weaves seven years of stories into a meditation on the existential impact of international borderlines by illuminating the spaces in between and the people who live there.
