Si parla spesso del rapporto tra uomo e animale domestico, della profondità e dell'intensità delle emozioni e dei sentimenti che lo caratterizzano, ma cosa succede quando l'amico in questione ha le pinne e una lunga coda ricca di spuntoni?A seguito di una violenta mareggiata, una scrittrice un po' pazza trova sulla battigia un uovo di razza spiaggiato ancora vitale e decide di portarlo a casa per prendersene amorevolmente cura. Inizia così un'incredibile avventura fatta di curiosità, fiducia, complicità e passione, dove la magia dell'amicizia si fonde con la selvaggia bellezza della natura, creando un legame unico che sopravviverà per sempre al lento scorrere del tempo.

«Antonis Balasopoulos is to be heartily thanked for bringing back into print A. L. Morton¿s marvelous book The English Utopia ¿ and for providing us with not only a useful and insightful Introduction, but also a comprehensive bibliography of Leslie Morton¿s many writings. We definitely need such works in these difficult times when democracy is under siege by authoritarian forces. Morton¿s chapters may well truly serve both to empower our critical thinking and to inspire our radical-democratic imaginations.»(Harvey J Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy & Justice, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay)«Antonis Balasopoulos describes his job as an ¿exercise in historical reclamation.¿ He is due much gratitude for both the scrupulousness and the expertise he brings to his task. The Introduction is a model of its kind, positioning Morton in his own milieu as a committed intellectual. Morton¿s book more than deserves this careful attention. In this new Ralahine edition, The English Utopia appears as the seminal text in utopian studies it should have been. »(Patricia McManus, Senior Lecturer, School of Humanities and Social Science, University of Brighton)A. L. Morton¿s classic 1952 study of utopias in the context of British social history constitutes one of the earliest sustained engagements with the social and ideological sources of the utopian imagination, the importance of the class struggle for literary production and of literary production for cultural, if not political hegemony. Traversing English literary history from the medieval poem on the Land of Cockaygne to Sir Thomas More, to William Morris¿s News from Nowhere and the subsequent decline of the genre and the eventual rise of anti-utopian and dystopian strains in the early twentieth century, The English Utopia remains provocative and critically engaging more than seventy years after its original publication. In addition to charting its significance as an intervention, the present edition also brings to light Morton¿s complex role as Left political activist, historian, scholarly catalyst and cultural critic ¿ a paradigmatic instance of the engaged and public intellectual.

Did you know that the word 'swansong' comes from an ancient belief that while swans were silent throughout their lives, they sang a beautiful song on their deathbed? Or that a group of skylarks is called an exultation?Over the years, Springwatch has brought us unforgettable moments featuring our feathered friends, from nest cams capturing hatchlings as they emerge from their eggs to red kites soaring majestically in search of prey. Now, delve into the ultimate bird lover's companion, with expert tips on where to find British bird species and how to identify them, alongside avian folklore and favourite stories from the series. Arranged by bird family, Birdtopia includes explanations behind unusual collective nouns for birds - an unkindness of ravens may stem from the nineteenth-century belief that these birds turned their young out of the nest to fend for themselves - descriptions of bird calls, the reasons why birds create beautiful murmuration displays and the top places to spot them. Written by Springwatch naturalist and TikTok and Instagram's 'bird guy' Jack Baddams and beautifully illustrated with line drawings, Birdtopia is the perfect gift for any bird lover.

It takes years to learn the art of seeing, of expecting to see nature's gifts. In Soul of the Outdoors, Dave Greschner passes that art along. He tells how little that chickadee at the feeder weighs, how tree buds survive in winter, how far a fisher leaps, and what the six blobs of shadows are on the creek bed below a water strider. He traces the cycle of seasons, immersing us in spring hikes to the marshes of emerging frogs and returning birds, summer's coolness along the trout stream, a forgotten apple tree in autumn, and a full moon snowshoe hike in winter. With humor and heart, Soul of the Outdoors treks along the trails of one's outdoor adventures and, ultimately, the trails of our lives.

"Between taking care of her family and assorted Standard Poodles, Melanie is also working as a special needs tutor for Howard Academy, a private school in Greenwich, where her younger son attends kindergarten. This year, the headmaster has come up with an idea for a school fundraiser. All students will participate in a town-wide treasure hunt, with grades competing against each other. Tokens shaped like pumpkin spice muffins have been hidden in downtown stores. Students will scramble to collect as many as they can in exchange for prizes. At first all goes smoothly, and the uptick in foot traffic to the stores is a win-win... Until the pet supply shop owner lodges a complaint. When Melanie stops by to smooth things over, she instead finds the man dead, a knife in his back, and his loyal, ever-vigilant Chow Chow locked in the storeroom. Over the headmaster's objections, Melanie is once again drawn into an investigation. It doesn't take her long to gather a list of suspects, from neighbors balking about the number of rescue Chows the man was fostering in his home, to the landlord who'd filed an eviction notice against him, to the bitter ex-wife who is happy he's gone. With the fundraiser soon drawing to a close and celebrations imminent, Melanie will have to follow every clue--before the biggest prize is staying alive..."--

Das BuchDas Werk ist eine Quelle für modernes Wissen über Biomineralisation, Biomimetik und bioinspirierte Materialwissenschaft in Bezug auf wirbellose Meerestiere. Der Autor liefert die kohärenteste Analyse der Natur, des Ursprungs und der Entwicklung von Biokompositen und Biopolymeren, die aus der großen Vielfalt der wirbellosen Meeresorganismen isoliert und in deren ungewöhnlichen Strukturformationen beobachtet wurden. Das grundlegende Format ist das eines großen Übersichtsartikels, mit großzügiger Verwendung von Verweisen auf die Originalliteratur. Das Buch enthält eine Fülle neuer und neu zusammengestellter Informationen, darunter Dutzende von bisher unveröffentlichten Bildern einzigartiger mariner Lebewesen und Strukturen vom Nano- bis zum Mikrobereich, einschließlich hochauflösender Raster- und Transmissionselektronenmikroskopaufnahmen. Das Material ist sowohl nach biologischen (Phyla) als auch nach funktionellen Gesichtspunkten geordnet. Es wird eine Klassifizierung der biologischen Materialien marinen Ursprungs vorgeschlagen und diskutiert. Ein Großteil der einschlägigen Daten ist in Tabellen organisiert, und es wird ausgiebig Gebrauch von elektronenmikroskopischen Aufnahmen und Strichzeichnungen gemacht. Mehrere moderne Themen, wie z.B. "Biomineralisierungs-, Demineralisierungs- und Remineralisierungsphänomene" oder "Phänomene der mehrphasigen Biomineralisation", werden ausführlich diskutiert. Traditionell werden aktuelle Konzepte wie die hierarchische Organisation von Biokompositen und Skelettstrukturen, strukturelle Biogerüste, Bioskulpturierung, Biomimetismus und Bioinspiration als Werkzeuge für das Design innovativer Materialien sowohl aus biologischer als auch aus materialwissenschaftlicher Sicht anhand zahlreicher einzigartiger Beispiele marinen Ursprungs kritisch analysiert. Diese Monographie gibt einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der marinen Biomaterialien und zeigt mehrere Ansätze auf, die von verschiedenen Labors eingeführt und erforscht werden." Prof. Hermann Ehrlich erhielt seinen Doktortitel in 1984. Er war als Postdoc am Max-Bergmann-Zentrum für Biomaterialien und am Institut für Werkstoffkunde in Dresden tätig und habilitierte sich anschließend in 2011 für Biomaterialien an der Christian-Albrecht-Universität in Kiel. Bis April 2023 war Prof. Ehrlich als Lehrstuhlinhaber am Institut für Elektronik und Sensormaterialien der TU Bergakademie in Freiberg tätig. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind marine Biomaterialien, Biomineralogie, extreme Biomimetik und technische Biomateriologie. Mit Hilfe biochemischer, zellulärer, molekularer und analytischer Ansätze entdeckten und charakterisierten er und seine Mitarbeiter zum ersten Mal Chitin und neuartiges hydroxyliertes Kollagen sowie Aktin in den Skelettformationen verschiedener mariner Schwämme. Derzeit ist er Professor an der Adam-Mickiewicz-Universität und der Technischen Universität in Poznä, Polen, wo er weiterhin erfolgreich an marinen Biomaterialien arbeitet.  Dieses Buch ist eine Übersetzung einer englischen Originalausgabe. Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz (maschinelle Übersetzung durch den Dienst DeepL.com) erstellt. Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem in Bezug auf den Inhalt, so dass sich das Buch stilistisch anders liest als eine herkömmliche Übersetzung.

"Beyond The Anthropocene Epoch", the Anthropocene Epoch is an unofficial unit of geological time describing the most recent period in earth's history. It is characterized by the human species' impact on the planet's climate, ecosystems, and other species, as the single most influential and powerful species on the planet. Human greed, lack of responsibility and concern, has caused global warming, species extinction, zoonotic pandemics, pollution of land, water and air, desertification and deforestation, and many other environment issues. Humans affect the fate of the entire biosphere. Unfortunately, this paradigm shift in influence has not been accompanied by the necessary responsibility, foresight, accountability, or justice, to create and maintain sustainability. The book attempts to shed light on these issues and hopes to facilitate movement Beyond the Anthropocene Epoch.

This book presents a detailed examination of the current state of knowledge in the field of paleoneurology in the main amniote groups (reptiles, birds and mammals), and advances  resulting from new non-invasive technologies. The study of fossil endocasts is an area of considerable current interest, and has long been central to our understanding of the evolution of the brain, development of senses and behavioral adaptations in diverse vertebrate groups and across vertebrates as a whole. Recent advances in non-invasive imaging have significantly increased the number of fossil taxa for which brain morphology is known, and it may now be possible to quantitatively analyze the relative size of brain regions. Providing a general overview of current perspectives and problems in evolutionary neuroanatomy, this book is intended for a wide range of readers, including undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and anyone with a special interest in paleoneurology. It is also useful as supplementary reading for courses in digital anatomy, vertebrate comparative anatomy, computed morphometrics, paleontology, neurology and radiology as well as evolution programs
