Sinopsis

"Island Expeditions" reveals the extraordinary significance of Earth's island ecosystems, which harbor 20% of known terrestrial species on just 5% of the planet's land mass. This comprehensive exploration takes readers through three distinct geographical regions - Madagascar's diverse landscapes, the evolutionary laboratory of the Galapagos Islands, and lesser-known but equally fascinating locations like New Zealand and Hawaii.Through meticulous research and collaboration with local scientists, the book illuminates how these isolated environments serve as natural laboratories for understanding evolution, adaptation, and the broader implications of climate change. The book skillfully weaves together multiple scientific disciplines, from genetics to climatology, while maintaining accessibility through practical examples and engaging case studies.Readers discover fascinating details about Madagascar's hundred-plus lemur species, the ongoing evolution of Darwin's finches, and the unique adaptations of New Zealand's flightless birds. The text particularly excels in demonstrating how island ecosystems often act as early warning systems for global environmental changes, making them crucial indicators of broader ecological trends.What sets this work apart is its holistic approach to conservation, combining rigorous scientific analysis with real-world applications. The authors examine successful conservation initiatives, such as Madagascar's community-based forest management and the Galapagos' marine protected areas, while thoughtfully addressing the delicate balance between preservation and sustainable development. This practical framework makes the book invaluable for both conservation professionals and engaged general readers interested in understanding and protecting these unique natural laboratories of biodiversity.

  • The Third History of Man - cover

    The Third History of Man

    In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
    The Third History of Man leaves bacteria in the rear-view mirror and jumps to viruses and viral infections, the cold, the flu and COVID-19, not just another flu. We’ll cover epidemics, pandemics, and vaccines, the pox infections, and the Spock principle that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few … or the one. From COVID and the rise of Zoom, we’ll venture into the rise of Homo sapiensand the fall of Neanderthals, the high sea adventures of Darwin aboard and the high sea adventures of dementia. Our travels will take us along the Silk Road and Spice Trade, another visit with the Age of Discovery when masted ships and European explorers went looking for that elusive sea route to the Far East, and looking for gold, annihilating huge swaths of indigenous Americans at every port of disembarkation, not by the pointy end of a sword, but by tiny infectious microbes. We’ll examine colonialism at its finest, the sordid European history of imperialism and the land grab into Africa and the New World Americas.

    Read by the author, Tom Lathan.In Lost Wonders author and journalist Tom Lathan tells the powerful stories of ten species that have lived, died out and been declared extinct since the turn of the twenty-first century.Many scientists believe that we are currently living through the Earth’s sixth mass extinction, with species disappearing at a rate not seen for tens of millions of years – a trend that will only accelerate as climate change and other pressures intensify. What does it mean to live in such a time? And what exactly do we lose when a species goes extinct?In a series of fascinating encounters with subjects that are now nowhere to be found on Earth – from giant tortoises to minuscule snails the size of sesame seeds, from ocean-hopping trees to fish that wag their tails like puppies – Lathan brings these lost wonders briefly back to life and gives us a tantalising glimpse of what we have lost within our own lifetime.Drawing on the personal recollections of the people who studied these species, as well as those who tried but ultimately failed to save them, Lost Wonders is an intimate portrait of the species that have only recently vanished from our world and an urgent warning to hold on all the more tightly to those now slipping from our grasp.
