Sinopse

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.

    Why are humans neither 'good' nor 'bad'? How can so much chaos and confusion in the world actually lead to order? Why are we so often wrong when we're asked if the world's getting better? In this, the last book in The Secrets of Life quartet, SS O'Connor pulls together the threads of genetic and cultural evolution, and then adds to these the conclusions of evolutionary game theory. As he does this, he ends with an intertwined narrative that explains why so many of the phenomena of our existence may not be the mysteries we think they are, but could in fact have the same underlying logic to them. By examining the great currents at work in our collective story, the role that competition and cooperation have always played in the development of the world, and why each behavioural strategy is rational in what it's attempting to achieve, the book shows that the same cycles of collaboration and destruction have been present since time began. But while the success of these strategies may ebb and flow, it is their interaction that results in the balance and order we see around us. This current is also the consistent vector of our human history. Although we may have animal origins, and are also driven by the same need to respond to the profound Laws of Thermodynamics, we have developed our culture to the point where we can now choose to overrule so many of the instructions of our genes. Why do we do this? What are the problems that arise from our free will? How have we come to realise that self-interest is quite different from selfishness? Why have we become obsessed with the need for fairness and trust in our societies? And how have these forces resulted in us making the world a better place? Few of us believe this can be the case. But as the evidence of our progress becomes ever clearer, the series concludes by showing us why we are often wrong in our view of each other, and why we're so frequently mistaken in our pessimism about the future.

    Look Up: Our story with the stars

    ‘Sarah Cruddas is a gifted writer and Look Up is an inspired book. I am hopeful that we will never stop looking up.’ Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins 
    Most of us have never been to space. To date, of the more than 100 billion humans that have ever existed, fewer than 600 humans have ever left Earth. But the exploration of space is the most significant thing we will ever do as a species. 
    Sarah Cruddas has been looking to the skies her entire life. Her childhood was spent staring at the Moon and hearing stories of the space race, and she worked in a fruit factory to fund her love of the subject. Her subsequent career studying astrophysics, and becoming a television host and space journalist has seen her report on space exploration and chase launches across the world. In Look Up Sarah explains why she has always been a passionate advocate for why space should matter – to everyone. 
    From our ancestors who first painted patterns of the stars in caves, to the US and Soviet pioneers who first forged a path beyond our planet, Sarah Cruddas explores the stories and sacrifices that humankind has made to understand more about our place in the universe. And even today, when Moon walking and people in space suits seem less relevant to us than climate change and conflicts here on Earth, she shows how everything from medicine to mobile phones is affected by space technology, and how a new generation of entrepreneurs have kick-started a new story with the stars. 
    This is an inspirational and enlightening introduction to the importance of space to everyone, and why we should all learn to Look Up. 
    Look Up by Sarah Cruddas is a modern narrative that encapsulates the best of 20th-century science and cosmology. It is a journey through the history of space exploration, with a keen eye on the environmental implications, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of these topics. 
    For fans of Adrian West (The Secret World of Stargazing), Libby Jackson (A Galaxy of Her Own), Cgp Books (A-Level Chemistry for AQA), Hallie Rubenhold (The Five), and Nigel Henbest (The Astronomy Bible).
