Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Regeneration," Thomas Hunt Morgan, a pioneering figure in genetics, explores the intricate relationship between heredity and environmental influence through a rich tapestry of scientific inquiry and narrative style. This work delves into the process of regeneration in various organisms, emphasizing how physical changes and adaptations can lead to new forms of life. Morgan's writing seamlessly blends empirical observation with theoretical insight, reflecting the progressive scientific spirit of the early 20th century. His meticulous documentation and engaging prose engage readers in a deep understanding of biological resilience and transformation, paving the way for modern genetics. Morgan's illustrious career as a biologist raised questions about the fundamental processes of life, which ultimately inspired "Regeneration." His groundbreaking research on fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) not only established him as a leader in the field but also provided firsthand experience with evolutionary processes. Recognized with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1933, Morgan's profound commitment to uncovering the mysteries of heredity has made significant contributions to genetic theory, leading him to contemplate the broader implications of regeneration in nature. For those intrigued by the interplay of genetics and environmental adaptation, "Regeneration" is an essential read. Morgan's work invites readers to reflect on the resilience of life forms and the perpetual dance between genetic inheritance and environmental stimuli. This book is not merely a scientific treatise but a thought-provoking examination of the dynamic processes that shape the living world.

Craig Pittman

For more than thirty years, investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author Craig Pittman has chronicled the wildest stories Florida has to offer. Featuring a selection of columns that have appeared in the Tampa Bay Times and other outlets throughout Pittman's career, this book highlights just how strange and wonderful Florida can be. 
 
 
 
With a folksy style, an eye for the absurd, and a passion for the history and environment of his home state, Pittman describes some of Florida's oddest wildlife as well as its quirkiest people. The State You're In includes a love story involving the most tattooed woman in the world, a deep dive into the state's professional mermaid industry, and an investigation of a battle between residents of a nudist resort and the U.S. Postal Service. Pittman introduces listeners to a who's who of Florida crime fiction, a what's what of exotic animals, and an array of beloved places he's seen change rapidly in his lifetime. 
 
 
 
Many of these stories are funny, some are serious, and several offer rare insights into the heart of the Sunshine State. For Pittman, Florida is both inspiring and dangerous—an "evolutionary test" for those who live in it. Together these pieces paint a complex picture of a fascinating state longing for an identity beyond palm trees and punchlines.

Tara McGowan-Ross

A neurotic party girl's coming-of-age memoir about learning to live before getting ready to die. 
 
 
 
Tara has it pretty good: a nice job, a writing career, a forgiving boyfriend. She should be happy. Yet Tara can't stay sober. She's terrible at monogamy. Even her psychiatrist grows sick of her and stops returning her calls. She spends most of her time putting out social fires, barely pulling things off, and feeling sick and tired. 
 
 
 
Then, in the autumn following her twenty-seventh birthday, an abnormal lump discovered in her left breast serves as the catalyst for a journey of rigorous self-questioning. Waiting on a diagnosis, she begins an intellectual assessment of her life, desperate to justify a short existence full of dumb choices. Armed with her philosophy degree and angry determination, she attacks each issue in her life as the days creep by and winds up writing a searingly honest memoir about learning to live before getting ready to die.
