Summary

Nest Defenders delves into the captivating realm of parental care in animals, spotlighting extreme protective behaviors around nests. It examines how evolutionary biology and ecological factors shape these behaviors, revealing the intense drive to safeguard offspring, sometimes at great personal risk. Intriguingly, the book reveals that nest defense isn't random but a carefully calibrated response to environmental pressures, highlighting the profound link between behavior, environment, and evolutionary history.

 
The book progresses from foundational concepts of parental investment to profiling diverse nest defenders, such as Canada geese and crocodiles, analyzing their unique strategies. It further explores the ecological and evolutionary forces driving these behaviors, including predation and climate change. This approach offers readers a comprehensive understanding of why animals risk their lives for their young, making it valuable for anyone interested in animal behavior, ecology, and wildlife conservation.

    A sweeping biography of the visionary behind bone marrow transplantation and the story of the diseases cured by Don Thomas's discovery. In the last half of the twentieth century, Thomas himself discovered a cure for every marrow-based disease—like leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia—forever changing treatment for some of the deadliest illnesses. His feats were extraordinary, earning him a Nobel Prize, and the cascade of treatments he inspired have reshaped and will continue to reshape the practice of clinical medicine. Yet no one has ever written Thomas’s courageous story. Dr. Frederick R. Appelbaum, a member of Thomas’s research team, does so for the first time in Living Medicine: Don Thomas, Marrow Transplantation, and the Cell Therapy Revolution. Bone marrow transplantation has now saved over a million lives, but when Thomas first had the idea, he was met with disbelief by the scientific community. Appelbaum, informed by decades in the field and personal connection with Thomas, tells us the secrets to Thomas’s success: his unique characteristics, how he created an effective team of researchers, and how he overcame the technical obstacles of marrow transplantation. Appelbaum tells a bigger story, too, of the scientific and societal implications of this achievement, which are critical for scientific and lay readers alike so that we all might be better informed of how far our medical progress has come and will go.
