  The Seven Measures of the World

  From the beginning of history, measurement has been interwoven into the human experience, shaping our understanding of nature, personal relationships, and the supernatural. We measure the world to know our past, comprehend the present, and plan the future. 
   
   
   
  Renowned physicist Piero Martin explores how scientific knowledge is built around seven key pillars of measurement: the meter for length; the second for time; the kilogram for mass; the kelvin for temperature; the ampere for electricity; the mole for quantity of substance; and the candela for luminous intensity. Martin examines the history and function of these units and illustrates their applications in rich vignettes on a range of topics—from quarks to black holes, from a glass of wine to space exploration. He delves into not only the all-important numbers but also anecdotes that underline each unit's special quality. At the same time, he explains how each unit contributes to important aspects of science, from classical physics to quantum mechanics, from relativity to chemistry, from cosmology to elementary particle physics, and from medicine to modern technology. Martin eloquently shows how the entire universe can be measured and understood using just seven units.

  Assuming the Ecosexual Position...

  What's sexy about saving the planet? Funny you should ask. Because that is precisely—or, perhaps, broadly—what Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens have spent many years bringing to light in their live art, exhibitions, and films. In 2008, Sprinkle and Stephens married the Earth, which set them on the path to explore the realms of ecosexuality as they became lovers with the Earth and made their mutual pleasure an embodied expression of passion for the environment. Ever since, they have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology, creating ecosexual art in their performance of an environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, materialist, exuberant, and steeped in humor. 
   
   
   
  Assuming the Ecosexual Position tells of childhood moments that pointed to a future of ecosexuality—for Annie, in her family swimming pool in Los Angeles; for Beth, savoring forbidden tomatoes from the vine on her grandparents' Appalachian farm. The book describes how the two came together as lovers and collaborators, how they took a stand against homophobia and xenophobia, and how this union led to the miraculous conception of the Love Art Laboratory, which involved influential performance artists Linda M. Montano, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and feminist pornographer Madison Young.

People have spent years studying and researching the behaviour, biology, and ecology of various domestic and exotic animals, including cats, dogs, horses, spiders, snakes, and stick insects. 
  Cats and dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and are some of the most beloved pets worldwide. They are known for their loyalty, companionship, and playful nature. Horses, on the other hand, have a long history of working alongside humans in various activities, including transportation, agriculture, and sports. 
  When it comes to exotic pets, spiders, snakes, and stick insects are some of the most intriguing animals to keep. These creatures may not be everyone`s cup of tea, but they have unique adaptations and behaviour patterns that make them fascinating to observe. Spiders, for example, have an intricate web-spinning ability that allows them to capture their prey with ease. Snakes, on the other hand, have a unique way of moving and hunting, which sets them apart from other animals. 
  Lastly, stick insects, also known as phasmids, are masters of disguise, blending seamlessly into their surroundings to avoid predators. 
  In this book, we will delve into the world of these animals, exploring their characteristics, care requirements, and any potential risks associated with keeping them as pets. Whether you are a seasoned pet owner or considering getting your first pet, this book is an excellent resource to learn more about these fascinating creatures. 
  I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable.
