Infested Mind: Why Humans Fear, Loathe, and Love Insects
ISBN: 9780199930197 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The human reaction to insects is neither purely biological nor simply cultural. And no one reacts to insects with indifference. Insects frighten, disgust and fascinate us. Jeff Lockwood explores this phenomenon through evolutionary science, human history, and contemporary psychology, as well as a debilitating bout with entomophobia in his work as an entomologist. Exploring the nature of anxiety and phobia, Lockwood explores the lively debate about how much of our fear of insects can be attributed to ancestral predisposition for our own survival and how much is learned through individual...

Anomie
ISBN: 9781941861028 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Anomie is a uniquely told story of Michael, a middle-aged university professor and writer. After a series of tragic events, he seeks closure through myriad experiences, in order to bring balance to his world. Will he find himself in China? "With strong clear prose Jeff Lockwood illuminates the state of moving between cultures, physically, emotionally, and romantically. It's not that his character, Michael, has no connections, or no heritage. And yet, from the age of three, he has chosen to separate himself, to be an outsider even in the places, and with the people, he loves." - Rachel...

Grasshoppers and Grassland Health: Managing Grasshopper Outbreaks Without Risking Environmental Disaster
ISBN: 9780792365297 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Acridids (grasshoppers and locusts) can range from being rare curiosities to abundant menaces. Some are threatened with extinction and become subjects of intensive conservation efforts, while others are devastating pests and become the objects of massive control programmes. Even within a species, there are times when the animal is so abundant that its crushed masses cause the wheels of trains to skid (the Rocky Mountain grasshopper, Melanoplus spretus Walsh in western North America in the 1860s and I 870s), while at other times the animal is alarmingly scarce (the Rocky Mountain grasshopper...

Locust: The Devastating Rise and Mysterious Disappearance of the Insect That Shaped the American Frontier
ISBN: 9780465041671 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1876, the U.S. Congress declared the locust "the single greatest impediment to the settlement of the country between Mississippi and the Rocky Mountains." Throughout the nineteenth century, swarms of locusts regularly swept across the American continent, turning noon into dusk, devastating farm communities, and bringing trains to a halt. The outbreaks subsided in the 1890s, and then, suddenly--and mysteriously--the Rocky Mountain locust vanished. A century later, entomologist Jeffrey Lockwood vowed to discover why.Locust is the story of how one insect shaped the history of the...

Exploring censorship imposed by corporate wealth and power, this book focuses on the energy industry in Wyoming, where coal, oil, and gas are pillars of the economy.

His book is an... Exploring censorship imposed by corporate wealth and power, this book focuses on the energy industry in Wyoming, where coal, oil, and gas are pilla... |

Philosophical Foundations for the Practices of Ecology
ISBN: 9780521115698 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ecologists use a remarkable range of methods and techniques to understand complex, inherently variable, and functionally diverse entities and processes across a staggering range of spatial, temporal and interactive scales. These multiple perspectives make ecology very different to the exemplar of science often presented by philosophers. In Philosophical Foundations for the Practices of Ecology, designed for graduate students and researchers, ecology is put into a new philosophical framework that engages with this inherent pluralism while still placing constraints on the ways that we can...
