Beschreibung

Strongest Animals explores the fascinating realm of animal strength, revealing the biological and evolutionary adaptations that enable creatures to perform incredible feats. Discover how the book introduces fundamental concepts like force and biomechanics, setting the stage for an in-depth look at how both invertebrates and vertebrates achieve their impressive physical capabilities. For instance, the book highlights how dung beetles can pull objects many times their own weight due to their exoskeleton structure and muscle arrangement.

 
The book then progresses through an exploration of invertebrates, vertebrates, and the influence of environmental factors on strength. Readers will learn about animals ranging from ants capable of lifting 50 times their weight to gorillas exhibiting powerful movement, understanding the interplay between skeletal structure, muscle mass, and neurological control. This comparative and analytical approach delves into the "why" behind animal strength, providing a nuanced understanding of evolutionary biology and animal adaptations, rather than simply listing the strongest animals.

 
Drawing upon scientific studies and biomechanical analyses, Strongest Animals presents information in a clear and engaging style suitable for a broad audience interested in zoology, biology, and nature. From understanding how selective pressures have shaped the evolution of strength to examining the impact of habitat, this book offers valuable insights into the animal kingdom's most powerful creatures.

    In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. 
     
    “Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating.” 
    “Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities.” 
    “Rapid ‘climate action’ is essential to avoid a future climate disaster.” 
     
    You’ve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. 
     
    With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. 
     
    When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. 
     
    Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: 
    • Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 
    • Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions 
    • There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity 
     
    Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.
