Beschreibung

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.

    When Gary Goodman wandered into a run-down, used-book shop that was going out of business in East St. Paul in 1982, he had no idea the visit would change his life. He walked in as a psychiatric counselor and walked out as the store's new owner. In The Last Bookseller Goodman describes his sometimes desperate, sometimes hilarious career as a used and rare book dealer in Minnesota. 
     
      
     
    Here we meet the infamous St. Paul Book Bandit, Stephen Blumberg, who stole 24,000 rare books worth more than fifty million dollars; John Jenkins, the Texas rare book dealer who (probably) was murdered while standing in the middle of the Colorado River; and the eccentric Melvin McCosh, who filled his dilapidated mansion with half a million books. In 1990, with a couple of partners, Goodman opened St. Croix Antiquarian Books in Stillwater, one of the Twin Cities region's most venerable bookshops until it closed in 2017. 
     
     
     
    The internet changed the book business forever, and Goodman details how, after 2000, the internet made stores like his obsolete. In the 1990s, the Twin Cities had nearly fifty secondhand bookshops; today, there are fewer than ten. As both a memoir and a history of booksellers and book scouts, criminals and collectors, The Last Bookseller offers an ultimately poignant account of the used and rare book business during its final Golden Age.
