Sinopsis

Cave Ecosystem Dynamics explores the hidden worlds beneath our feet, focusing on the unique biology and ecology of cave ecosystems. These extreme environments, perpetually dark and often nutrient-poor, are home to fascinating creatures called troglobites, including the well-studied blind cave fish. The book highlights how these organisms have evolved remarkable adaptations, such as heightened senses of touch and hearing, to survive in the absence of light. It examines the intricate interspecies relationships and the delicate balance that sustains life in these isolated habitats, emphasizing the importance of conservation biology for these fragile ecosystems. The book delves into the evolutionary adaptations driven by the selective pressures of cave environments, including metabolic adaptations that allow cave organisms to conserve energy. It presents a holistic analysis integrating evolutionary, ecological, and physiological perspectives, offering insights into the dynamics of closed ecosystems with limited resources. Drawing from field studies, lab experiments, and long-term monitoring data, Cave Ecosystem Dynamics provides a comprehensive overview of cave ecosystems, progressing from an introduction to troglobites and their adaptations, to an exploration of interspecies relationships, and finally, to the real-world implications for biodiversity conservation.

In Your Own Time - How western...

Sara Wickham

Why are so many women told that their labour must be started artificially? And what does the evidence actually say about waiting for labour to begin in its own time?
In 'In Your Own Time', midwife, researcher, and author Dr Sara Wickham explores one of the most important – and increasingly common – interventions in modern maternity care: the induction of labour.
Drawing on decades of experience in midwifery, research, and education, Dr Wickham examines the evidence behind due dates, induction policies and the management of late pregnancy. She looks at how current practices developed, questions some widely held assumptions, and explains what the research really shows.
Clear, thoughtful and grounded in evidence, this book helps listeners understand:
• how due dates became so central to modern maternity care
• why induction of labour is now so common
• what the research says about the benefits and risks of induction
• how policies and guidelines influence birth decisions
• why waiting for labour to begin in its own time may sometimes be the safest option.
Above all, In Your Own Time aims to help women, families, and birth professionals understand the evidence and feel more confident in navigating decisions about the end of pregnancy.
Chapters cover topics including:
• The advantages of the waiting days
• Why doesn't every woman get to birth in her own way?
• Guidelines, evidence and listening to women
• Due dates, windows and why the computer shouldn't decide
• Induction in late pregnancy - your baby isn't like a pumpkin
• Does my baby look big in this?
• Too old, too fat, too Black, too risky?
• Addressing the induction epidemic.

Oil Beach - How Toxic...

Christina Dunbar-Hester

Can the stories of bananas, whales, sea birds, and otters teach us to reconsider the seaport as a place of ecological violence, tied to oil, capital, and trade? 
  
San Pedro Bay, which contains the contiguous Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, is a significant site for petroleum shipping and refining as well as one of the largest container shipping ports in the world—some forty percent of containerized imports to the United States pass through this so-called America’s Port. It is also ecologically rich. Built atop a land- and waterscape of vital importance to wildlife, the heavily industrialized Los Angeles Harbor contains estuarial wetlands, the LA River mouth, and a marine ecology where colder and warmer Pacific Ocean waters meet. In this compelling interdisciplinary investigation, award-winning author Christina Dunbar-Hester explores the complex relationships among commerce, empire, environment, and the nonhuman life forms of San Pedro Bay over the last fifty years—a period coinciding with the era of modern environmental regulation in the United States. The LA port complex is not simply a local site, Dunbar-Hester argues, but a node in a network that enables the continued expansion of capitalism, propelling trade as it drives the extraction of natural resources, labor violations, pollution, and other harms. Focusing specifically on cetaceans, bananas, sea birds, and otters whose lives are intertwined with the vitality of the port complex itself, Oil Beach reveals how logistics infrastructure threatens ecologies as it circulates goods and capital—and helps us to consider a future where the accumulation of life and the accumulation of capital are not in violent tension.
