Beschreibung

"Frozen Predators" explores the lives of apex predators like polar bears, leopard seals, and arctic foxes in Earth's coldest regions, revealing their unique adaptations and crucial roles in fragile Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems. The book emphasizes how the success of these hunters is deeply connected to stable icy environments, threatened now more than ever by climate change. Through the lens of these iconic species, it examines broader themes of adaptation, survival, and the impact of environmental shifts, highlighting the intricate balance within these ecosystems.

 
The book presents a comprehensive look at the physical and behavioral adaptations that enable these animals to thrive despite extreme conditions. For example, it discusses the insulation of polar bear fur, the diving physiology of leopard seals, and the camouflage of arctic foxes.

 
Beginning with an introduction to the Arctic and Antarctic, the book progresses to detail the hunting techniques of each predator, such as polar bears hunting on sea ice and leopard seals ambushing prey in Antarctic waters.

 
Ultimately, it discusses the conservation challenges facing these predators and what their decline could mean for the entire planet, offering potential solutions and avenues for future research.

    A moving story of survival and an eye-opening introduction to an extraordinary community of chimps and people. Fongoli chimpanzees are unique for many reasons. Their female hunters are the only apes that regularly hunt with tools, seeking out tiny bush babies with wooden spears. Unlike most other chimps, these apes fear neither water nor fire, using shallow pools to cool off in the Senegalese heat. Up to 90 percent of their home range burns annually—the result of human hunting or clearing for gold mining—and Fongoli chimpanzees have learned to predict the movement of such fires and to avoid them. The study of Fongoli chimps is also unique. While most primate research occurs in isolated reserves, Fongoli chimpanzees live alongside humans, and as primatologist and anthropologist Jill Pruetz reports, this shared habitat creates both challenges and opportunities. The issues faced by Fongoli chimpanzees—particularly food scarcity and environmental degradation—are also issues faced by their human neighbors. This connection is one reason Pruetz, who has studied Fongoli apes for over two decades, created the nonprofit Neighbor Ape in 2008 to provide for the welfare of the humans who share their landscape with apes. It is also why Pruetz decided to write this book, the first to offer readers a view of these chimps’ lives and to explain the specific conservation efforts needed to help them. Incorporating stories from Pruetz’s time in the field, including the compelling rescue of a young chimp from poachers, Apes on the Edge opens a fascinating window into primate research, conservation, and the inner workings of a very special population of our closest nonhuman relatives.

    A sweeping history of the Mississippi River—and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America. 
     
     
     
    Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson's expansionist land hunger through today's era of environmental concern. He reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering—government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams—has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems, but may not work much longer, and explores how scientists are scrambling to restore what's been lost. Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power.

    The urban-rural divide is a concept that encompasses the differences between urban and rural areas in terms of population, economy, infrastructure, social services, and quality of life. As the world has rapidly urbanized in the past few centuries, the divide has grown wider, shaping the way people experience and interact with the world around them. Understanding the urban-rural divide requires looking not just at geographical distinctions but also at the historical, social, and economic forces that have led to the creation of these disparities. 
    At its core, the urban-rural divide refers to the uneven distribution of resources, opportunities, and access to services. Urban areas, often characterized by their dense population, advanced infrastructure, and proximity to economic opportunities, tend to attract people from rural areas in search of better livelihoods. On the other hand, rural areas are often defined by their smaller populations, agricultural economies, and more limited access to healthcare, education, and technological advancements. Over time, this gap has widened as cities have grown into centers of global commerce, culture, and innovation, leaving rural communities to face challenges such as depopulation, economic stagnation, and a lack of essential services. 
    This divide is not just a modern phenomenon. Historically, the urban-rural relationship has been shaped by factors like industrialization, the rise of agriculture, and migration patterns. During the Industrial Revolution, for example, many people from rural areas flocked to cities in search of work, marking a key moment in the expansion of the urban-rural divide. These migration patterns have continued in the present day, with rural populations in many countries continuing to shrink as more people move to urban centers for better prospects.
