Sinopsis

Ant Superpowers explores the extraordinary abilities of ants, revealing how these tiny insects achieve incredible feats through collective behavior, specialized adaptations, and sophisticated communication. The book delves into the biomechanics behind their surprising strength, allowing them to lift objects many times their weight, and uncovers the intricacies of their chemical communication, using pheromones to govern complex social interactions. Readers will gain insights into the science of how ants construct elaborate underground nests and organize their colonies with remarkable efficiency.

 
The book progresses from an introduction to ant biology to detailed explorations of their physical capabilities, communication systems, and colony architecture. It highlights how decades of biological study have led to our current understanding, emphasizing the role of natural selection and evolutionary biology. Discover how the collective accomplishments of ants arise from specialized adaptations, finely tuned communication, and decentralized decision-making, offering potential applications in bio-inspired engineering, robotics, and organizational management.

 
This book distinguishes itself by combining insights from diverse fields such as biology, physics, chemistry, and computer science, presenting a comprehensive view of ant capabilities. By examining the physical and biological mechanisms underpinning ant life, Ant Superpowers offers a valuable perspective on complex systems and the potential for innovative solutions inspired by the natural world.

    Burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming: this is what top American oil executives were told by scientists in 1959. But they ignored that warning. Instead, they developed one of the biggest, most polluting oil sources in the world—the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. As investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals in this explosive book, the decades-long conspiracy to keep the oil sands flowing into the US would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons for the world's failure to stop the climate crisis. 
     
     
     
    In The Petroleum Papers, Dembicki draws from confidential oil industry documents to uncover for the first time how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits—a misinformation campaign that continues to this day. He also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions. 
     
     
     
    With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice—and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.

    A bold examination of how Paleolithic wisdom could solve our 21st century problems 
     
    Jessica Carew Kraft, an urban wife and mom of two, was firmly rooted in the modern world, complete with a high-powered career in tech and the sneaking suspicion that her lifestyle was preventing her and her family from truly thriving.  
     
    Determined to find a better way, Jessica quit her job and set out to learn about “rewilding” from people who reject the comforts and convenience of civilization by using ancient tools and skills to survive. Along the way, she learned how to turn sticks into fire, stones into axes, and  
    bones into tools for harvesting wild food—and found an entire community walking the path back from our technologyfocused, anxiety-ridden way of life to a simpler, more human experience. 
     
    Weaving deep research and reportage with her own personal journey, Jessica tells the remarkable story of the potential benefits rewilding has for us and our planet and questions what it truly means to be a human in today’s world. Why We Need to Be Wild is a thought-provoking,  
    unforgettable narrative that illuminates how we survived in the past, how we live now, and how each of us can choose to thrive in the years ahead.
