The Perpetuation of Living Beings Hereditary Transmission and Variation

Thomas Henry Huxley

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "The Perpetuation of Living Beings, Hereditary Transmission and Variation," Thomas Henry Huxley delves into the intricate mechanisms of heredity and evolutionary biology, employing a clear and accessible prose style that invites both the layperson and the scholar to ponder the intricacies of life's continuity. The book is a significant contribution to the 19th-century discourse on Darwinism, providing compelling arguments that elucidate how variations arise in species and how these nuances are crucial for the perpetuation of life. Huxley meticulously examines scientific evidence, challenging contemporary misconceptions and positioning the work as a foundational text in the study of genetics and evolutionary theory. Huxley, often hailed as 'Darwin's Bulldog' for his staunch defense of Charles Darwin's theories, was a prominent biologist and paleontologist whose own experiences in the scientific community and personal aspirations fueled his desire to elucidate the laws governing inheritance and species variation. His extensive background in comparative anatomy and his advocacy for science education helped shape his convictions, making him an authoritative voice in the evolution debate of his time. This book is indispensable for anyone intrigued by the origins of biological diversity and the principles of heredity. Huxley's incisive arguments and scientific rigor make it a must-read for students of biology, educators, and general readers alike who seek a deeper understanding of evolution's mechanisms.

Think Less Sleep More - From...

Stephanie Romiszewski

A smart and sometimes counterintuitive (who cares when you go to bed?) guide that will solve readers’ sleep anxiety once and for all!  If there’s anything worse that not getting sleep, it’s lying awake with a scare-face staring at the ceiling worrying about it. Here’s Romiszewski’s—a sleep physiologist and founder of the UK’s Sleepyhead Clinics  —  promise: “This book is your guide to liberating yourself from the endless cycle of sleep anxiety and obsession. By the end, you’ll have regained control – not through perfection, but by letting go of the need to constantly manage your sleep. Sleep will start working for you, not as something to fear or fix, but as your natural ally. And best of all, it will no longer dominate your thoughts.”THINK LESS, SLEEP MORE is a sensible take on sleep with some counterintuitive twists to current accepted dogma, such as that we all need more sleep and that segmented sleep  —  aka waking up in the middle of the night  —  is a killer. It’s a health and wellness permission book: there are some readjustments to make, both mental and physical, but a key takeaway is that whatever you’re doing now is probably better than you think.Among other counterintuitive insights, Romiszewski reveals:--The importance of a consistent wake-time rather than a rigid bedtime--How to trust your body’s natural sleep drive and rhythms--That ‘bad’ nights neither ruin the next day, nor your health, and that variability is normal--That sleep isn’t fragile—it’s adaptable, resilient, and smarter than any hack you could throw at it--The myth of 8 hours--The power of lightFor an audience who found Matthew Walker’s “Why We Sleep” daunting if not downright scary, Romiszewski’s is the sensible, seasoned, calming voice you want to think of a 3AM.
