  Zoology, the scientific study of animals, is a broad and dynamic field that encompasses a wide range of topics, from the anatomy and physiology of organisms to their behaviors, evolutionary history, and interactions with their environments. It is a fundamental branch of biology, crucial for understanding life on Earth. The word "zoology" comes from the Greek words "zoo," meaning animal, and "logos," meaning study, thus literally translating to the "study of animals." This field not only explores the diversity of animal life but also offers insights into the nature of life itself and the interrelationships among all living organisms. 
  The scope of zoology is vast, as it covers every aspect of animal life, from the microscopic world of single-celled organisms to the complex behaviors of large mammals. The study of zoology can be broken down into several subfields, such as physiology, behavior, evolution, ecology, and taxonomy, each of which provides valuable information about the functioning of animals in the natural world. For example, physiologists examine how animals’ bodily systems—like the nervous, respiratory, and circulatory systems—function to maintain life, while evolutionary biologists trace the development of animal species over time. Ecologists focus on how animals interact with their environments, while taxonomists classify and name the vast array of species found on Earth.

  The Anatomy of Deception -...

  In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, trust in the healthcare system seems to be at an all-time low. Conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and distrust of government health agencies is common among private citizens. Yet many of those same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the public's faith be restored? 
   
   
   
  The Anatomy of Deception investigates the cause behind this seeming uptick in distrust by tracing the unexpected connection between medical mistrust and the move toward far right ideology in the United States. Drawing on personal qualitative research and interviews, health writer and expert Sara Gorman challenges traditional concepts of medical mistrust and argues that the loss of institutional trust in American health care signals a larger breakdown in democracy as a whole. In six short chapters, Gorman advances the idea of medical mistrust not as a byproduct of personal or historical abuses but as a direct result of bias, miscommunication, and lack of access that has slowly eroded trust in the public health system over time. She argues that we can build back trust in medicine through investments in health equity as a first step towards healing the schisms present in modern American society.

  Illicit digital activity is a substantial and growing problem. Extremists' use of social media over the past decade or so has raised increasing concern among governments and media corporations alike. In Digital Grooming Nuria Lorenzo-Dus analyzes manipulation practices in digital spaces that are situated at, or beyond, the boundaries of law. Lorenzo-Dus identifies and examines in detail the online discourse of adults luring children for sexual abuse and exploitation (digital sexual grooming); extreme ideology groups aligning others to their views (digital ideological grooming); and drug dealers soliciting business in crypto markets (digital commercial grooming). With sophisticated style and stance analyses of large and varied datasets, the book reveals that digital sexual, ideological, and commercial grooming practices have much in common. Three stances—expertise, openness, and avidity—scaffold this manipulative work, which constructs groomers and their targets as sharing a homogenous identity. 
   
   
   
  By shedding new light on grooming practices, this book provides a key resource for discourse analysis, forensic linguistics, communication, and media studies, as well as for practitioners aiming to counter online grooming through policy changes, detection software, and prevention-focused training to promote digital civility and safety.
