Sinossi

'Hot and Cold' presents a fascinating exploration of life's remarkable adaptability in Earth's most extreme temperature environments, from scorching deserts to frozen polar regions. This comprehensive work investigates how diverse organisms have evolved ingenious strategies to survive in conditions that seem impossible for life to exist.

 
Through a careful progression from basic principles of heat transfer to specific adaptation mechanisms, the book builds a complete picture of temperature's role in shaping life on our planet. The text masterfully weaves together three critical themes: the nature of temperature extremes in global ecosystems, the incredible physiological and behavioral adaptations of various species, and the implications of climate change on these delicate systems.

 
Readers discover fascinating examples of natural innovation, such as how desert plants maintain crucial water balance through specialized leaf structures and how polar fish prevent their cells from freezing through unique proteins. These real-world examples make complex biological concepts accessible while maintaining scientific accuracy.

 
What sets this book apart is its multidisciplinary approach, connecting evolutionary biology with physics, chemistry, and conservation science. Drawing from recent research and field observations, it offers valuable insights for both academic and general readers interested in natural adaptation and climate science.

 
The inclusion of biomimicry applications in the final section demonstrates how understanding these natural adaptation mechanisms can inspire practical solutions in human technology and architecture, making the content relevant to contemporary challenges in a warming world.

    Our society has a technology problem. Many want to disconnect from screens but can't help themselves. These days we spend more time online than ever. Some turn to self-help measures to limit their usage, yet repeatedly fail, while parents feel particularly powerless to help their children. Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies shows us a way out. Rather than blaming users, the book shatters the illusion that we autonomously choose how to spend our time online. It shifts the moral responsibility and accountability for solutions to corporations. Drawing lessons from the tobacco and food industries, the book demonstrates why government regulation is necessary to curb technology addiction. It describes a grassroots movement already in action across courts and legislative halls. Groundbreaking and urgent, Unwired provides a blueprint to develop this movement for change, to one that will allow us to finally gain control.

    In the spirit of his father's beloved classic, A River Runs through It, comes John N. Maclean’s true chronicle of his family and their bond with Montana's Blackfoot River—a profound and beautiful story about the power of place to bind generations, past and present 
    “Maclean’s Hemingway-esque prose is as clear as a mountain stream, flowing with a poetic cadence.” —Booklist 
    “The trout completed its curve in an undulating, revelatory sequence. A greenish speckled back and a flash of scarlet on silver along its side marked it as a rainbow. One slow beat, set the hook … in those first seconds I felt a connection to a fish of great size and power.""  
    So begins John N. Maclean's remarkable memoir of his family's century-long love affair with Montana's majestic Blackfoot River, which his father, Norman Maclean, made legendary. Now himself past the age that his father published his bestselling novella, Maclean returns annually to the simple family cabin that his grandfather built by hand, still in search of the fish of a lifetime. When he hooks it at last, decades of longing promise to be fulfilled, inspiring John, reporter and author, to finally write the story he was born to tell.  
    A book that will resonate with everyone who feels deeply rooted to a place, Home Waters is chronicle of a family who claimed a river, from one generation to the next, of how this family came of age in the 20th century and later as they scattered across the country, faced tragedy and success, yet were always drawn back to the waters that bound them together. Here are the true stories behind the beloved characters fictionalized in A River Runs Through It, including the Reverend Maclean, the patriarch who introduced the family to fishing; Norman, who balanced a life divided between literature and the tug of the rugged West; and tragic yet luminous Paul (played by Brad Pitt in Robert Redford’s film adaptation), whose mysterious death has haunted the family and led John to investigate his uncle’s murder and reveal new details in these pages. 
    A universal story about the power of place to shape families, and a celebration of the art of fishing, Maclean’s memoir beautifully portrays the inextricable ways our personal histories are linked to the places we come from—our home waters.
