Sinopsis

Weird Creatures explores the fascinating world of bizarre animals and their unique adaptations, offering insights into biological adaptation and evolutionary pathways. The book examines how these unusual species challenge our understanding of life, revealing the biological significance and scientific principles that shaped them. For instance, the blobfish's gelatinous form is perfectly suited for the extreme pressures of the deep sea, while the axolotl retains its larval features into adulthood, a phenomenon called neoteny.

 
The book presents science through clear explanations and engaging examples, tracing the development of scientific understanding from Darwin's theories to modern genetic research. It begins by introducing the concept of biological "weirdness" and progresses through case studies organized by themes such as sensory adaptation and extreme environments. Each chapter delves into a specific creature's habitat, characteristics, and evolutionary history, culminating in a discussion of the broader implications for genetics, ecology, and environmental pressures in shaping biodiversity.

 
By studying these "weird" species, readers gain crucial insights into the processes that drive evolution and the incredible diversity of life.

Collected here, from a period of nearly five decades, are thirty-six of Norman Lewis's best articles. In each, his writing crackles with poker-faced wit and stylistic brilliance. As a witness to his times – the good, the bad and the absurd – he was unmatched, and his instinct for important events, and moments, was infallible. His range here includes Ibizan fishermen, an interview with Castro's executioner, the genocide of the South American indigenous tribes, a paean to Seville and his meeting with a tragic Ernest Hemingway. Lewis told Ian Fleming, who had commissioned him, that the meeting was 'a shattering experience of the kind likely to sabotage ambition'. Fortunately it didn't, and the articles assembled between these covers are compulsive, hilarious, tender and beautifully written, at times deeply upsetting and always unforgettable.

Journalist Marguerite Holloway arrives at the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop as a climbing novice, but with a passion for trees and a deep concern about their future. Run by twin sister tree doctors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll, the workshop helps people develop impressive technical skills and ascend into the canopy. As Holloway tackles unfamiliar equipment and dizzying heights, she learns about the science of trees and tells the stories of charismatic species, including hemlock, aspen, Atlantic white cedar, oak, and beech. She spotlights experts who are chronicling the great dying that is underway in forests around the world as trees face simultaneous and accelerating threats from drought, heat, floods, disease, and other disruptions. 
 
 
 
As she climbs, Holloway also comes to understand the profound significance of trees in her relationship with her late mother and brother. The book's rousing final chapter offers something new: a grander environmental and arboreal optimism, in which the story of trees and their resilience meshes with that of people working to steward the forests of the future, and of community found among fellow tree climbers. A lyrical work of memoir and reportage, Take to the Trees sounds the alarm about rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.
