Sinopsis

"Urban Bee Guides" offers a compelling exploration of how bees adapt and thrive in metropolitan environments, combining scientific research with practical guidance for urban beekeeping initiatives.

 
The book reveals fascinating insights about urban bees' remarkable ability to pollinate up to 80% of flowering plants in city parks and gardens, while also highlighting how cities can provide unexpected advantages for bee populations, including year-round access to diverse flowering plants and, surprisingly, reduced pesticide exposure compared to rural areas.

 
The narrative progresses logically through three main sections: the scientific foundation of urban bee populations, practical applications of city beekeeping, and contemporary environmental challenges. Through case studies from major global cities like New York, London, and Tokyo, readers gain insight into successful rooftop beekeeping projects that demonstrate the viable intersection of urban development and pollinator conservation.

 
The book's approach uniquely combines empirical research data with hands-on guidance, making complex ecological concepts accessible to both experts and enthusiasts. What sets this comprehensive guide apart is its integration of urban planning, environmental science, and community development perspectives, supported by long-term studies and citizen science data.

 
The book addresses real-world challenges while providing practical solutions, from technical specifications for rooftop hive installation to strategies for establishing community beekeeping networks. This balanced approach makes it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in urban ecology, from city planners and environmental researchers to community organizers and aspiring beekeepers.

    In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. 
     
     
     
    With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.

    Christopher A. Roosa grew up the eldest son of Apollo 14 astronaut and command module pilot Stuart A. Roosa. As a child of the space program, Christopher had a ringside seat at the dinner table of one of twenty-four Americans who had either entered lunar orbit or landed on the moon. The first book written by an offspring of an Apollo astronaut to focus on growing up in that era, Son of Apollo tells the inside story of the life of his father, a man who had a remarkable career despite always believing his air force career was "off-track," from his initial application to the service to his removal from the prime crew of Apollo 13 and his subsequent assignment to Apollo 14. During the Apollo 13 mission and recovery, Stuart played an integral role in developing the procedures to return the crew to Earth safely. The focus—and the pressure—of the entire Apollo program then shifted to the Apollo 14 mission. If the Apollo program was to continue, Stuart and the Apollo 14 crew would need to get safely to the moon, land, and return. 
     
     
     
    In writing about his father's career, Christopher Roosa also shows us a familial side of the Apollo experience, from the daily struggles of growing up in the shadow of a father who was necessarily away in training most of the year to the expectations involved in being an astronaut's son.

    Parasites - The Inside Story

    This book looks at the weird and wonderful world of parasites, the most abundant form of life on Earth. Parasites come in all forms and sizes and inhabit every free-living organism. Parasitism is now, and always has been, a way to survive under changing environmental conditions. From arctic oceans to tropical forests, Scott Gardner, Judy Diamond, and Gabor Racz investigate how parasites survive and evolve, and how they influence and provide stability to ecosystems. 
     
     
     
    Taking listeners to the open ranges of Mongolia, the Sandhills of north-central Nebraska, the Andes of Bolivia, and more, the authors examine the impact parasites have on humans and other animals. Using examples of parasites from throughout the tree of life, the authors describe parasite-host relationships as diverse as those between trematodes and snails and tapeworms and whales. Parasites offer clues to the evolutionary history of particular regions, and they can provide insights into the history of species interactions. Through parasites, biologists can weave together a global knowledge of the past to predict the challenges that we will face in the future. 
     
     
     
    Revealing that parasites are so much more than creepy-crawlies, this book gives up-to-date context for these critical members of the biological diversity of our planet.
