Sinossi

"Elephants vs Whales" presents a fascinating exploration of two mammalian giants, comparing how evolution has uniquely equipped them for survival in their respective domains.

 
This comprehensive analysis delves into the remarkable anatomical differences between Earth's largest land animal, the African elephant (weighing up to 13,000 pounds), and the magnificent blue whale (reaching up to 400,000 pounds), demonstrating how environmental pressures have shaped their physical characteristics over millions of years.

 
The book progresses systematically through detailed comparisons of their anatomical systems, from the elephant's versatile trunk with its 40,000 muscles to the whale's specialized baleen feeding system. Through a combination of modern imaging techniques and recent scientific research, readers discover intriguing adaptations such as the whale's ability to hold its breath for 90 minutes and the elephant's highly efficient respiratory system.

 
Each chapter builds upon this foundation, examining how physics, environmental factors, and evolutionary pressures have influenced their development. What sets this work apart is its accessible approach to complex scientific concepts, making it valuable for both academic and general audiences interested in natural sciences.

 
The book draws from multiple disciplines, including physics, evolutionary biology, and environmental science, while maintaining clear explanations through practical examples and illustrations. This systematic comparison offers readers a deep understanding of how similar biological challenges are addressed differently in terrestrial and marine environments, showcasing the remarkable versatility of mammalian evolution.

    From the familiar to the improbable, the gross to the endearing, The Modern Bestiary is a compendium of curious creatures. It includes both animals that have made headlines and those you’ve probably never heard of, such as skin-eating  
    caecilians, harp sponges, or zombie worms—also known as bone-eating snot flowers.  
     
    Arranged by elements, Earth, Water and Air, The Modern Bestiary contains wellknown species told from new and unexpected angles (rats that drive cars; fish that communicate by passing wind), as well as stranger and lesser-known creatures  
    (including carnivorous mice that howl at the moon, cross-dressing cuttlefish, and antechinuses—small marsupials that literally mate themselves to death). Finally, there are the ‘aliens on Earth’—the incredible, the surreal, the magical—such as  
    tardigrades, tongue-eating lice and immortal jellyfish, creatures so astonishing that they make unicorns look rather commonplace. 
     
    Written by a zoologist with a flair for storytelling, this is a fascinating celebration of the animal kingdom.
