Summary

Biodiversity In Farming reveals the critical link between agricultural biodiversity and global food security, arguing that the vast array of crops, livestock, and their wild relatives are essential for resilient farming systems.The book highlights the erosion of this diversity due to modern agriculture's focus on monoculture and genetic uniformity, which increases vulnerability to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses.

 
Did you know that diverse farming systems have historically sustained communities for millennia, showcasing unique traits and adaptations?The book emphasizes that the stability of our food supply depends on conserving these genetic resources.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the richness of crop and livestock diversity, then examining the threats it faces like habitat loss and climate change.It dedicates significant attention to strategies for conservation, including on-farm and gene bank methods, community-based seed saving, and supportive policies.

 
Farmers are presented as key stewards of biodiversity, enhancing ecosystem services like pollination and pest control.Through scientific literature, agricultural statistics, and farmer interviews, Biodiversity In Farming provides an interdisciplinary look at the biological, ecological, economic, and anthropological dimensions of food systems and their impact on our planet.

    Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret the often minimal and even conflicting information available to them. 
 
 
 
David Hone begins by introducing listeners to the fundamentals of dinosaur biology, diversity, and evolution, and goes on to describe their behaviors, from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat. Speculation about dinosaur behavior goes back to the earliest scientific studies of these "terrible lizards." Hone traces how pioneering science is opening a window into prehistoric life as never before, and discusses future directions of research in this thrilling and rapidly growing area of paleontology. 
 
 
 
Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures.
