Sinopsis

Crab Polarized Vision explores the unique ability of crabs to perceive polarized light, a sensory modality hidden to humans. This book explains how crabs exploit polarized light to navigate complex aquatic environments and detect camouflaged prey. Crabs possess specialized photoreceptor cells that allow them to see patterns of polarized light underwater, enhancing their hunting efficiency. The book emphasizes the ecological significance of this adaptation, supported by behavioral, physiological, and ecological evidence. 

 
The book begins with an introduction to the biophysics of polarized light and the crab visual system, followed by an argument developed through experimental evidence. It showcases laboratory and field studies demonstrating the behavioral relevance of polarized light vision for prey detection. The book integrates data from visual ecology, neurophysiology, and animal behavior to provide a holistic understanding.

 
Finally, it delves into the evolutionary origins of polarized light vision in crabs and its implications for understanding the sensory ecology of marine invertebrates.

The island of Britain has over 10,000 miles of coastline, steeped in history and constantly shifting, changing, adapting and providing. The Restless Coast is a moving and beautiful account of a journey around it, during which the author travels its length to discover its challenges and opportunities, and to talk to the people trying to protect it.


At once delightful travelogue and passionate defence, The Restless Coast shines a powerful spotlight into the thin line that surrounds us, and defines our status as islanders. Overarching the journey is the extraordinary natural history of the coastline, together with the story of how man has imprinted himself on its very geology and shape for countless centuries. Into the account, Roger Morgan-Grenville threads the modern challenges that the shoreline faces, and the people who are trying to protect it. At once informative, angry and funny, The Restless Coast is a very personal love letter to our island edge.

The Naked Neanderthal - A New Understanding of the Human Creature - cover

The Naked Neanderthal - A New...

What do we really know about our cousins, the Neanderthals? For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens. More recently, the pendulum swung the other way and they are generally seen as our relatives: not quite human, but similar enough, and still not equal. Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that they are something altogether different—and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this stunning book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence, very different from ours. 
 
 
 
Slimak has travelled around the world for the past thirty years to uncover who the Neanderthals really were. A modern-day Indiana Jones, he takes us on a fascinating archaeological investigation: from the Arctic Circle to the deep Mediterranean forests, he traces the steps of these enigmatic creatures, working to decipher their real stories through every single detail they left behind. 
 
 
 
A thought-provoking adventure story, The Naked Neanderthal shifts our understanding of deep history—and in the process reveals just how much we have yet to learn.
