Sinopsis

Cicada Secrets explores the fascinating world of cicadas, focusing on their unique life cycles and ecological significance. The book delves into the biology, ecology, and natural history of these insects, particularly the periodical cicadas, whose mass emergences are a remarkable natural phenomenon.

One intriguing aspect is how these emergences impact forest ecosystems, influencing nutrient cycling and plant growth. The book highlights that the synchronized emergence strategy is a complex evolutionary adaptation, driven by factors like predator avoidance and resource availability.

The book systematically explores various aspects of cicada biology, starting with an introduction to different types of cicadas and their life cycles. It examines the ecological impact of cicada emergences on forest ecosystems, including their effects on nutrient cycling and predator-prey dynamics. The book also investigates the role of sound production in cicada mating rituals, dissecting the anatomy of their sound-producing organs and analyzing the ecological function of their songs.

Cicada Secrets considers the future of cicadas in relation to environmental change. The approach is accessible, making complex information understandable for a broad audience interested in science. This book draws on scientific evidence, field studies, lab experiments, and genomic analyses. It presents new insights into the evolutionary drivers of cicada periodicity, exploring the interplay between selection pressures and genetic constraints. The book progresses from introducing cicadas and their life cycles to examining their ecological impact and future prospects.

Yes I Can Say That - When They...

Judy Gold

""No one makes me laugh harder than Judy Gold. If I had to pick one comedian to write a book about free speech, it would be Judy."" – Amy Schumer
From award-winning comedian Judy Gold, an equal parts thoughtful and hilarious polemic on the current efforts to censor comedians, arguing that they undermine the art—and purpose—of comedy itself.
“You can say anything that comes to mind as long as it is funny.” — Richard Pryor
The fallout after Michelle Wolf’s roast at the 2018 White House Correspondent’s Dinner, Samantha Bee’s forced apology after calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless c*nt,” Kathy Griffin’s being “blacklisted” from Hollywood after posting a photo with what looked like the president’s severed head, all represent a dangerous and growing trend—to censor comedians.
In Yes I Can Say That, comedy veteran Judy Gold argues that ""no one has the right to tell comics what they can or cannot joke about…. Laughter is a unifier. It's the best medicine. It's also the most palatable way to bring up seditious, subversive topics.” For Gold, nothing is more insidious than enforcing silence and repressing jokes—the job of a comedian is to expose society's demons, and confront them head-on, no prisoners allowed. In ten impassioned polemics, she frames comedy as a tool of empowerment, a way to reclaim hateful rhetoric and battle the democracy-crushing plight of censorship.
Uninhibited and bold, Gold is as skilled at making readers laugh as she is at exposing uncomfortable truths about our culture and society. In this era of partisan politics and gaping inequalities, Yes I Can Say That is the refreshingly candid, wickedly funny and deliciously blunt manifesto we need.
