This comprehensive work traces the evolution of giant squid research from nineteenth-century myths to modern scientific discoveries, showcasing how technological advancements have revolutionized our knowledge of these elusive creatures. The book is thoughtfully organized into three major sections, beginning with research methodology and the challenges of studying deep-sea organisms, then delving into the biological characteristics and adaptations of giant cephalopods, and concluding with their crucial role in marine ecosystems.

 
Through a blend of sonar readings, tissue analysis, and remote vehicle observations, readers gain unprecedented insights into these magnificent creatures' lives. The integration of traditional marine biology techniques with modern genomic analysis and environmental DNA sampling demonstrates the rapid evolution of research capabilities in this field.

 
What sets this work apart is its data-driven approach to understanding giant cephalopods as indicators of ocean ecosystem health. The book expertly weaves together international research findings, previously unpublished data, and current scientific debates while maintaining accessibility for readers with basic scientific literacy. Whether exploring their hunting behavior, growth rates, or responses to changing ocean conditions, the text bridges the gap between academic research and public understanding of these remarkable deep-sea inhabitants.

Maya - The Biography of a Tiger

Anant Sonawane

FOREWORD BY SACHIN TENDULKAR 
The intimate story of a tigress who became a national icon 
In November 2023, Maya—one of the most beloved tigresses of Maharashtra's Tadoba-Andhari reserve—vanished without a trace. Her disappearance made national headlines, and those who had followed her life at Tadoba for years were left stunned and full of concern for what might have become of her. 
Yet Maya's legend had been years in the making. Born in 2010 and orphaned early, she grew into a tigress of striking composure. She hunted in the open, carried her kills past idling jeeps and often paused before cameras as if aware of the attention she drew from admiring humans. Her calm around people, hold over a vast and contested territory and fierce care for her cubs pushed Maya's story far beyond Tadoba's forest roads. 
In this deeply observed account, Anant Sonawane retraces that life—from Maya's precarious beginnings to her rise as a matriarch who moved with quiet assurance under constant human watch. Clear-eyed and deeply attentive, Maya offers an intimate portrait of a wild tiger seen up close, yet never reduced to distortion or myth.

American Disgust - Racism...

Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer

American Disgust shows how perceptions of disgust and fears of contamination are rooted in the country's history of colonialism and racism. Drawing on colonial, corporate, and medical archives, Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer argues that microbial medicine is closely entwined with changing cultural experiences of digestion, excrement, and disgust that are inextricably tied to the creation of whiteness. 
 
 
 
Ranging from nineteenth-century colonial encounters with Native people to John Harvey Kellogg's ideas around civilization and bowel movements to mid-twentieth-century diet and parenting advice books, Wolf-Meyer analyzes how embedded racist histories of digestion and disgust permeate contemporary debates around fecal microbial transplants and other bacteriotherapeutic treatments for gastrointestinal disease. 
 
 
 
At its core, American Disgust wrestles with how changing cultural notions of digestion—what goes into the body and what comes out of it—create and impose racial categories motivated by feelings of disgust rooted in American settler-colonial racism. It shows how disgust is a changing, yet fundamental, aspect of American subjectivity and that engaging with it—personally, politically, and theoretically—opens up possibilities for conceptualizing health at the individual, societal, and planetary levels.
