Sinopsis

"Shark Immunity" explores the remarkable disease-fighting capabilities of sharks, offering a fascinating journey into the biological mechanisms that make these ancient creatures one of nature's most resilient species. Through a well-structured progression, the book examines the dual components of shark immune systems—both adaptive and innate immunity—that have evolved over 400 million years, with particular emphasis on their extraordinary resistance to cancer and various pathogens. The text presents compelling research from international teams, highlighting how sharks' specialized antibodies exhibit exceptional stability and binding properties. One of the most intriguing aspects covered is the sharks' unique ability to resist cancerous cell formations through modified antibody structures and specialized compound production.   
These findings have significant implications for human medicine, especially in the development of new immunotherapy treatments and cancer-fighting strategies. Moving from foundational immunology concepts to complex biological mechanisms, the book bridges the gap between marine biology, evolutionary immunology, and medical research. It serves as both a comprehensive reference for professionals and an advanced guide for students, incorporating laboratory techniques and research protocols while acknowledging ongoing debates in the field. The authors maintain scientific rigor while ensuring accessibility, making complex immunological principles understandable for readers with basic biological knowledge.

    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.

    A Matter of Taste - A Farmers'...

    How farmer's markets and organic produce became synonymous with "good food" and why they shouldn't be.
       
    How did farmer's markets, nose-to-tail, locavorism, organic eating, CSAs, whole foods, and Whole Foods become synonymous with “good food”? And are these practices really producing food that is morally, environmentally, or economically sustainable? Rebecca Tucker's compelling, reported argument shows that we must work to undo the moral coding that we use to interpret how we come by what we put on our plates. She investigates not only the danger of the accepted rhetoric, but the innovative work happening on farms and university campuses to create a future where nutritious food is climate-change resilient, hardy enough to grow season after season, and, most importantly, available to all—not just those willing or able to fork over the small fortune required for a perfect heirloom tomato.
       
    Tucker argues that arriving at that future will require a broad cognitive shift away from the idea that farmer's markets, community gardens, and organic food production is the only sustainable way forward; more than that, it will require the commitment of research firms, governments, corporations, and post-secondary institutions to develop and implement agri­science innovations that do more than improve the bottom line. A Matter of Taste asks us to rethink what good food really is.

    What if running in beautiful places was paradoxically contributing to the destruction of those precious environments and causing irreversible global harm to people and animals too?
     
    In We Can’t Run Away From This, ultrarunner Damian Hall examines the impact of running in our climate and ecological emergency. Packed with insights from experts, it is an enlightening read which will prompt us all to really think about our kit, food and travel, and to identify simple changes we can make to our running and wider lives. But Damian also asks if concentrating on our individual footprints (pun unintended) is really the answer.
     
    We can’t run away from this any more, and this book will give every runner ideas about how to live and exercise more sustainably.

    Orology - The Mountainous World...

    Mountains are among the most awe-inspiring features of the Earth's landscape, rising as towering peaks that shape weather patterns, influence ecosystems, and define the natural borders of continents. Their formation is a complex process driven by immense geological forces acting over millions of years. The primary mechanisms behind mountain building include tectonic activity, volcanic processes, and the gradual effects of erosion and uplift. 
    One of the most significant processes responsible for mountain formation is tectonic activity, particularly through folding and faulting. The Earth's crust is divided into massive plates that float atop the semi-molten mantle. When these plates collide, the immense pressure causes the crust to buckle and fold, resulting in the formation of fold mountains such as the Himalayas and the Alps. These ranges continue to rise as the plates press against each other, making them some of the youngest and most geologically active mountains in the world. Fault-block mountains, on the other hand, form when tectonic forces cause large sections of the Earth's crust to break and shift along faults. The Sierra Nevada in North America is an example of a fault-block mountain range created by the movement of these fractured rock masses. 
    Another major contributor to mountain formation is volcanic activity. When magma from beneath the Earth's surface erupts through cracks in the crust, it cools and solidifies, gradually building up into towering volcanic mountains. Over successive eruptions, these formations can grow into massive peaks such as Mount Fuji in Japan or Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Volcanic mountains can form along plate boundaries, particularly in subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, or in hotspot regions
