Sinopse

Deadly Mammals explores the hidden lethal capabilities of mammals, challenging common perceptions about animal behavior and ecology. The book reveals that lethality isn't limited to well-known predators; even seemingly docile creatures like hippos are responsible for significant human fatalities. It delves into how these animals dominate their environments through a complex interplay of aggression, specialized biological traits, and ecological pressures. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for conservation, public safety, and gaining a deeper insight into the natural world.

The book systematically uncovers these hidden dangers, starting with a broad definition of lethality that extends beyond predation. It dedicates chapters to specific mammals, such as the wolverine and hippopotamus, analyzing their physical attributes, behaviors, and ecological roles in relation to their lethality. Each chapter examines hunting techniques, defensive strategies, and environmental impact. The analysis draws from scientific literature, field studies, and expert interviews, providing a comprehensive look at the science and biology behind these deadly mammals.

The book culminates by examining the broader ecological and evolutionary implications of mammalian lethality and its impact on human-animal interactions. It emphasizes the importance of minimizing conflict through conservation efforts, ensuring the survival of both humans and wildlife. By focusing on a specific selection of mammals, Deadly Mammals provides an accessible and engaging exploration of a complex subject, appealing to nature enthusiasts, wildlife aficionados, and anyone interested in the hidden dangers of the animal kingdom.

The Inward Stage - A Performer's...

Alexander Beresford

The Inward Stage is not a memoir. It is not a manual. It is not a book of secrets. 
It is a quietly luminous document, part philosophical journal, part poetic confession, written by a mindreader who spends his life performing illusions for others while quietly unraveling deeper truths for himself. 
Drawn from times spent backstage, between cities, between minds, and between silences, these pages reveal the reflections of a man who reads thoughts not for applause, but for understanding. He writes of wonder, failure, silence, intimacy, and the sacred art of disappearing at just the right moment. 
This is a book for those who have performed, on stages or in life, and for anyone who has ever longed to be understood beneath the surface. 
Written in fragments, aphorisms, and meditations, The Inward Stage is a love letter to mystery, a witness to the sacredness of connection, and a guide for those who find themselves standing quietly at the edge of the visible world.

Aircraft's Instruments

facundo Conforti

Knowledge of what is “behind the instrument” is key, since understanding a failure can not only contribute to the management of a potential emergency, but also provides tools for decision-making regarding the use or application of other systems, instruments, etc. 
Pilot training should be thought of as an interdisciplinary body of knowledge, with a practical application of a common objective: to carry out a flight safely and successfully. This new volume in the collection promotes the dissemination of complex technical subjects using the same didactic mode of communication, through simple explanations with practical examples and applications in all cases. 
We invite you to learn a little more about “what's behind the instrument panel”, and we assure you that you will find information and data that is highly useful and applicable to operations.

Journal your way to lasting emotional balance, self-compassion, and better relationships. 
 
 
 
If you've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you should know that BPD doesn't have to define you. Like many mental health issues, BPD manifests on a spectrum, and while some people may encounter extreme symptoms on one end, others may be less affected on the other. What do you all have in common? You likely experience difficulty balancing your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. You may struggle with relationships. And you may not see yourself clearly—continuously switching from the hero to the villain of the story you've written about your life. So, how can you take charge of your own story, and start on the road to healing? 
 
 
 
This compassionate guided journal offers a personalized, constructive, and healing approach to managing your symptoms. Through the act of writing, you'll gain insight into the four elements of BPD—emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships—and find powerful tools to balance your emotions, reverse unhealthy habits that get in the way of meaningful relationships, and move past feelings of shame and regret to cultivate self-compassion. This book will help you gain empowering insight into yourself and your unique mind, so you'll feel equipped to step out into a world where you know you belong.
