Moth Scent Navigation

Summary

Moth Scent Navigation explores the remarkable ability of moths to navigate using scent, specifically pheromones, to locate mates over vast distances. This book delves into the sensory biology and animal behavior that underpins this feat, revealing how moths detect and interpret faint airborne signals amidst complex environmental conditions. One intriguing aspect is the moth's use of specialized antennal receptors and neural pathways, allowing them to navigate turbulent scent plumes effectively. The book addresses how moths manage to accomplish the seemingly impossible task of detecting these faint chemical signals, highlighting the interplay between their specialized sensory organs, neural processing, and adaptive flight patterns.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with an introduction to pheromones and their role in moth communication. It then explores the neurobiology of olfaction in moths, focusing on the structure and function of their antennae and neural pathways. A significant portion of the book analyzes pheromone plume dynamics, examining how environmental factors affect scent molecule distribution.

 
The approach integrates findings from chemical ecology, neurobiology, aerodynamics, and behavioral ecology. This comprehensive perspective makes Moth Scent Navigation a valuable resource for researchers, students, and anyone fascinated by the intricate sensory world of these nocturnal creatures.

Tales of Lonely Trails

Zane Grey

Zane Grey wrote about the West and lived it as well. Tales of Lonely Trails is a collection of true travel tales describing his explorations of uninhabited areas of the West, much of it on pack horses with a guide. 
Here are descriptions of his hunting, camping, and exploring trips in the wild and desolate parts of the West, including Arizona territory, Colorado, Death Valley, the Tonto Basin, the Grand Canyon, and more. These adventures gave him the first-hard experience that he later used in writing his descriptions of the landscape and characters of his Western novels.

Beasts Men and Gods

Ferdinand Ossendowski

“Beasts, Men and Gods” is an account of an epic journey, filled with perils and narrow escapes, in the mold of “The Lord of the Rings.” 
 
The difference is: it’s all true. 
 
Ferdinand Ossendowski was a Pole who found himself in Siberia and on the losing side during the Bolshevik Revolution. To escape being rounded up and shot, he set out with a friend to reach the Pacific, there to take ship back to Europe. During his journey he fell in with dozens of other military men who shared the same objective… but nearly every one of them perished on the way. 
 
It’s up to you to decide whether Ossendowski was threatened most by the beasts, by the men, or by the gods, or indeed, by the severe and uncompromising landscapes of Siberia, Mongolia, and China. That he survived at all seems improbable. The mystical mysteries and magics of Buddhism, “The Yellow Faith”, were woven about and through his sojourn and had no little part in his survival. Time after time he was put in the delicate position of being the bargainer between warring groups, and ultimately, only incredible luck and his friendship with the Hutuktu of Narabanchi Monastery saw him through. 
 
When published in the United States, this book caused a sensation and became a best-seller. (Summary by Mark F. Smith)

For a Dollar and a Dream - State...

Jonathan D. Cohen

Every week, one in eight Americans place a bet on the dream of a life-changing lottery jackpot. Americans spend more on lottery tickets annually than on video streaming services, concert tickets, books, and movie tickets combined. 
 
 
 
The story of lotteries in the United States may seem straightforward: tickets are bought predominately by poor people driven by the wishful belief that they will overcome infinitesimal odds and secure lives of luxury. The reality is more complicated. For a Dollar and a Dream shows how, in an era of stagnant upward mobility, millions of Americans turned to the lottery as their only chance at achieving the American Dream. Gamblers were not the only ones who bet on betting. As voters revolted against higher taxes in the late twentieth century, states saw legalized gambling 
as a panacea, a way of generating revenue without cutting public services or raising taxes. Alongside stories of lottery winners and losers, Jonathan Cohen shows how gamblers have used prayer to help them win a jackpot, how states tried to pay for schools with scratch-off tickets, and how lottery advertising has targeted lower income and nonwhite communities. 
 
 
 
For a Dollar and a Dream charts the untold history of the nation's lottery system, revealing how players and policymakers alike got hooked on hopes for a gambling windfall.
