Sinossi

Worms and Light explores the fascinating world of non-visual photoreception in nematodes, or roundworms, revealing how these simple organisms detect light without eyes. This capability influences their behavior, survival, and evolutionary adaptation. Nematodes use photosensitivity to avoid harmful light, locate food, and synchronize with daily or seasonal light cycles. Consider that Darwin's work on earthworm behavior laid a foundation for understanding how organisms respond to stimuli.

 
The book highlights the cellular and molecular mechanisms of light detection, the ecological roles of photosensitivity, and its evolutionary origins. By integrating molecular, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives, Worms and Light offers a unique understanding of sensory systems.

 
The book progresses from key concepts and molecular components to ecological contexts and evolutionary history, supported by genetic, molecular, behavioral, and ecological studies.

    Our ability to make meaningful connections with other animal species and their ability to return the favour is, perhaps, never more beautiful than the bond we have with dogs. 
    This book explores what every dog owner knows – that a dog is never just a dog. They are our companions, best friends, members of the family and for some the most important part of our lives. 
    Simon Wooler, trainer to social media’s most famous fearful dog, Sophie from Romania, unlocks the heart of the special relationship we have with dogs. He explores how over millennia, they have inveigled their way into our homes and hearts and evolved to live alongside us. He explains how dogs learn (and why they sometimes seem immune to our efforts to train them), how they communicate and what influences the powerful bond they form with their people. He unpacks the problems of fear and reactivity and with insight and humour acts as a guide for all dog lovers navigating life’s changes and challenges. 
    Demystifying the science of dog behaviour and debunking the sticky myths that all too often can get in the way of understanding, this is a celebration of the joy of life with dogs in all its messy, loveable reality. 
    In his latest work, Simon Wooler offers a practical guide to training pets, showing us the personal journey of understanding and bonding with animals. It's a top reference for anyone interested in the world of animals.

    The narratives in this book are of journeys made in three wildernesses—on a coastal island, in a Western mountain range, and on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. The four men portrayed here have different relationships to their environment, and they encounter each other on mountain trails, in forests and rapids, sometimes with reserve, sometimes with friendliness, sometimes fighting hard across a philosophical divide.
