Sinossi

"Insect Protein Facts" explores the potential of entomophagy, or eating insects, as a sustainable solution to global food security. Insects offer a nutritious alternative to traditional protein sources, boasting high protein content, essential amino acids, and beneficial fats while potentially reducing environmental impact compared to conventional livestock farming. Many cultures worldwide have embraced insect consumption for centuries, highlighting the disconnect between Western aversions and global practices. 

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with an introduction to entomophagy and addressing cultural biases. It then delves into the nutritional profiles of various edible insects, comparing insect farming's environmental footprint to traditional agriculture, and concludes with culinary applications, including recipes. This approach helps readers understand not only why insects are a viable food source, but also how to incorporate them into their diets.

 
This book uniquely combines nutritional science, environmental data, and practical culinary guidance, presenting a holistic view of insect protein. It highlights that insects require fewer resources than traditional livestock, contributing to planetary health by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and land usage. The book's accessible style makes complex scientific information understandable, advocating for the integration of insect-based food production into global food systems.

Rumbles - A Curious History of...

Elsa Richardson

The fascinating—and often secret—history of the body's most fascinating system: the gut. 
 
 
 
The stomach is notoriously outspoken. It growls, gurgles, and grumbles while other organs remain silent, inconspicuous, and content. For centuries humans have puzzled over this rowdy organ, deliberating on the extent of its influence over cognition, mental wellbeing, and emotions, and wondering how the gut became so central to our sense of self. 
 
 
 
Traveling from ancient Greece to Victorian England, eighteenth-century France to modern America, historian Elsa Richardson leads us on a tour of the gut, exploring all the ways that we have imagined, theorized, and probed the mysteries of the gastroenterological system. We'll meet a diverse cast of characters including Edwardian body builders, hunger-striking suffragettes, demons, medieval alchemists, and one poor teenage girl plagued by a remarkably vocal gut, all united by this singular organ. 
 
 
 
Engaging, eye-opening, and thought-provoking, Rumbles leaves no stone unturned, scrutinizing religious tracts and etiquette guides, satirical cartoons and political pamphlets, in its quest to answer the millennia-old question: Are we really ruled by our stomachs?

On the Origin of Species

Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin's seminal work published in 1859, presents the theory of evolution through natural selection. The book outlines how species change over time, with variations in physical and behavioral characteristics allowing organisms better suited to their environment to survive and reproduce, passing on favorable traits to future generations. Darwin cites evidence from his observations, experiments, and research, including on his voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, to argue that all life shares a common ancestor and that the diversity of species arises through this process of gradual evolution, rather than through special creation as widely believed at the time. The book challenged prevailing religious and scientific views, sparking intense debate, but Darwin's theory of natural selection has since become the foundation of modern evolutionary biology.

Balance - How It Works and What...

Paul Thagard

Living is a balancing act. Ordinary activities like walking, running, or riding a bike require the brain to keep the body in balance. A dancer’s poised elegance and a tightrope walker’s breathtaking performance are feats of balance. Language abounds with expressions and figures of speech that invoke balance. People fret over work-life balance or try to eat a balanced diet. The concept crops up from politics—checks and balances, the balance of power, balanced budgets—to science, in which ideas of equilibrium are crucial. Why is balance so fundamental, and how do physical and metaphorical balance shed light on each other?

Paul Thagard explores the physiological workings and metaphorical resonance of balance in the brain, the body, and society. He describes the neural mechanisms that keep bodies balanced and explains why their failures can result in nausea, falls, or vertigo. Thagard connects bodily balance with leading ideas in neuroscience, including the nature of consciousness. He analyzes balance metaphors across science, medicine, economics, the arts, and philosophy, showing why some aid understanding but others are misleading or harmful. Thagard contends that balance is ultimately a matter of making sense of the world. In both literal and metaphorical senses, balance is what enables people to solve the puzzles of life by turning sensory signals or an incongruous comparison into a coherent whole.

Bridging philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Balance shows how an unheralded concept’s many meanings illuminate the human condition.
