  Fowl Play - A History of the...

  Sally Coulthard tells the fascinating – and sometimes shocking – story of the domestic chicken. 
  The chicken can fly only a few metres but – somehow – this unlikely evolutionary descendant of Tyrannosaurus Rex has conquered the world. Earth is now home to more than twenty billion chickens, at least ten times more than any other bird. For every human on the planet, there are three chickens. In Fowl Play, Sally Coulthard charts the chicken's fascinating journey from dinosaur to domestication to exploitation, exploring every aspect of the history of Gallus gallus domesticus: its importance to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans as food source and fighting bird; its symbolic roles in religion and folklore and metaphorical function in the language we use; its homely place as egg-providing companion on farms, smallholdings and in suburban back gardens; and its darker modern-day fate as battery bird raised to satisfy society's unquenchable addiction to wings and nuggets. Of all animals, chickens perhaps best represent the contradictory way we humans treat other species; both beloved pet and cheap commodity, symbol of a sustainable good life and brutalised object of factory farming. The chicken is also a bird we feel deeply familiar with and yet know very little about. As informative as it is entertaining, Fowl Play tells a remarkable tale of evolutionary change, epic global travel and ruthless exploitation – as well as of companionship, ingenuity and the folly of human nature.

  When the Ice is Gone - What a...

  In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs, and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago. 
   
   
   
  In When the Ice Is Gone, Bierman traces the story of this extraordinary finding, revealing how it radically changes our understanding of the Earth and its climate. A longtime researcher in Greenland, he begins with a brief history of the island, both human and geological. For the origins of ice coring, Bierman brings us to Camp Century, a US military base built inside Greenland's ice sheet, where engineers first drilled through mile-thick ice and into the frozen soil beneath. Decades later, a few feet of that long-frozen earth would reveal its secrets—ancient warmth and melted ice. 
   
   
   
  Changes in Greenland reverberate around the world, with ice melting high in the arctic affecting people everywhere. Bierman explores how losing Greenland's ice will catalyze devastating events if we don't change course and address climate change now.

  In "From Within," Parabellum explores a future where humans transcend biological limitations through advanced medical technologies, nanobots, and brain implants. These enhancements allow people to live without illness, aging, or injury, and even communicate telepathically. Yet, these advancements divide society into factions with differing visions of humanity's future. Some pursue the creation of "perfect" humans, while others fear losing the essence of humanity. The power to alter DNA and design offspring with specific traits raises ethical dilemmas, challenging the natural order. As society splits into city-states, corporate territories, and virtual realms, governance becomes complex, with AI and collective decision-making shaping the world. "From Within" delves into the philosophical and ethical questions of identity, freedom, and responsibility in a world where scarcity and death are no longer constants. As humanity stands on the brink of even more incredible transformations, the struggle to define what it means to be "authentically human" continues, shaping the destiny of both enhanced and unchanged individuals. Amidst the tension and competition for resources, new philosophical and legal frameworks emerge, advocating for "morphological freedom"—the right to modify one's body. As traditional concepts like work, education, and family are redefined, humanity must navigate the challenges of this unprecedented era, seeking meaning and direction as they prepare for the next leap into the unknown.

  Why Whales Sing

  With breathtaking complexity and haunting beauty, the songs of whales have long fascinated scientists. Whales are the only mammals that can sing continuously for ten hours or more, changing the unique songs they sing every year. In Why Whales Sing, bioacoustician and cognitive scientist Eduardo Mercado transforms our understanding of these enigmatic sounds and proposes a groundbreaking theory that challenges decades of established science. 
   
  Fifty years of field research have led most scientists to conclude that humpback whales sing for the same reason that birds do: to advertise their sexual fitness. But if whale songs are nothing more than tools of attraction, why do whales sing even when they're alone? In light of modern advances in neuroscience and ocean acoustics, Mercado reaches the surprising conclusion that whales may not actually be "singing," but rather engaging in an activity more commonly associated with dolphins and bats—echolocating—which enables them to see their world with sound.  
   
  Sophisticated, long-range sonar can enable whales to perceive their vast underwater worlds in unimaginable ways. From the military origins of whale song recordings to the persistent mysteries of cetacean communication, this book displays the wonder of whales and reshapes how we view their intelligence, behavior, and acoustic mastery.
