Summary

Turtle Magnetic Sense explores the remarkable ability of sea turtles to navigate vast distances using Earth's magnetic field, a phenomenon known as magnetoreception. This book dives into the sensory biology behind turtle migration, explaining how these creatures return to the same nesting beaches after years at sea. It reveals that sea turtles possess an innate magnetic map, a set of genetically encoded responses to specific magnetic field intensities, which guides their navigation.

 
The book starts by introducing the basics of Earth's magnetic field. It then examines the sensory mechanisms involved in magnetoreception, such as the potential roles of magnetite crystals, and explores behavioral experiments demonstrating the turtles' ability to discriminate between different magnetic fields.

 
The book culminates by discussing the implications of magnetic navigation for conservation, highlighting potential threats from human-induced magnetic field disturbances. This exploration of animal navigation is crucial for understanding sensory physiology and behavior. This unique synthesis of existing research provides an up-to-date account of sea turtle magnetic navigation, making it valuable for students, researchers, and anyone fascinated by natural science and animal behavior.

 
The book progresses logically, building from basic concepts to complex ecological implications, bridging biology, physics, and environmental science.

Renaissance Men - Agents of...

Harriet A. Washington

The gripping, untold stories of three unsung Black physicians and their critical contributions to the field of medicine and American culture, from the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Medical ApartheidBetween 1847 and 1952, three New York City doctors transformed medicine, catalyzed racial equity, elevated American culture, then were all but lost to history—until now.James McCune Smith, MD., Rudolph Fisher, MD., and Louis T. Wright, MD each helped shape our nation and advance medicine while sharing overlapping passions—an uncompromising, even militant opposition to racial fetters; medical research that refused racial denigration; and literary acumen. While not strictly contemporaries, they were bound across time through obstacles that parallel those we confront today. Medical exclusion and disparagement, rampant healthcare inequities paired with housing segregation, racial abuse and police violence, lynching, the suppression of Black history —and even racial bars to higher medical education—that mirrored today’s challenges to affirmative action. In this comprehensive slice of previously unrevealed history, renowned writer and scholar Harriet Washington sheds light on Black physicians who pioneered important medical achievements that benefit the health of all Americans. Renaissance Men draws parallels between contemporary and historical medical exclusion and healthcare inequities and reveals a powerful argument for supporting current medical aspirants of color. Surfacing this long-buried history shows us what genius we stand to lose if medicine doesn’t rectify its current course of racial exclusion.
