When the Rains Come: A Naturalist's Year in the Sonoran Desert
ISBN: 9780816527625 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Life in the desert is a waiting game: waiting for rain. And in a year of drought, the stakes are especially high. John Alcock knows the Sonoran Desert better than just about anyone else, and in this book he tracks the changes he observes in plant and animal life over the course of a drought year. Combining scientific knowledge with years of exploring the desert, he describes the variety of ways in which the wait for rain takes place--and what happens when it finally comes. The desert is a land of five seasons, featuring two summers--hot, dry months followed by monsoon--and Alcock...

Within these well-written pages, Alcock exposes us to the plant and animal life of a land many regard as desolate. To Alcock, the desert has a constant evolutionary beauty he never seems to tire of.

An Enthusiasm for Orchids: Sex and Deception in Plant Evolution
ISBN: 9780195182743 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The male thynnine wasp's extreme sexual enthusiasm is crucial to reproduction of hammer orchids in the wild. Hammer orchids have co-evolved to produce odors identical to those manufactured by female thynnine wasps. The male wasp's superb sensitivity to the scent of his female mate is the basis for the hammer orchid's deceit--in effect, orchids exploit the male insect's highly adaptive sense of smell for their own propagation. While pollinating orchids is a waste of time, and thus a maladaptive activity for a wasp, his mistake comes about because he must react quickly whenever he senses a...

In a Desert Garden: Love and Death Among the Insects
ISBN: 9780816519705 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When John Alcock replaced the Bermuda grass in his suburban Arizona lawn with gravel, cacti, and fairy dusters, he was doing more than creating desert landscaping. He seeded his property with flowers to entice certain insects and even added a few cowpies to attract termites, creating a personal laboratory for ecological studies. His observations of life in his own front yard provided him with the fieldnotes for this unusual book. In a Desert Garden draws readers into the strange and fascinating world of plants and animals native to Arizona's Sonoran Desert.

The Triumph of Sociobiology
ISBN: 9780195163353 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In The Triumph of Sociobiology, John Alcock reviews the controversy that has surrounded evolutionary studies of human social behavior following the 1975 publication of E.O. Wilson's classic, Sociobiology, The New Synthesis. Denounced vehemently as an "ideology" that has justified social evils and inequalities, sociobiology has survived the assault. Twenty-five years after the field was named by Wilson, the approach he championed has successfully demonstrated its value in the study of animal behavior, including the behavior of our own species. Yet, misconceptions remain--to our...

Sonoran Desert Summer
ISBN: 9780816514380 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What could seem less inviting than summer in the desert? For most people, this prospect conjures up the image of relentless heat and parched earth; for biologist John Alcock, summer in Arizona's Sonoran Desert represents an opportunity to investigate the wide variety of life that flourishes in one of the most extreme environments in North America. "Only very special plants and animals can survive and reproduce in a place that may receive as little as six inches of rain in a year," observes Alcock, "a place where the temperature may rise above one hundred degrees each day for months on...

Side-By-Side Survey: Comparative Regional Studies in the Mediterranean World
ISBN: 9781785701580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Twenty years ago, John Cherry looked forward to the day when archaeological survey projects working around the Mediterranean region (the 'Frogs round the pond') would begin to compare and synthesize the information they had collected. He anticipated researchers tackling big questions of interregional scope in new and interesting ways, working at a geographical scale considerably larger than that of the individual survey. Was his optimism misplaced? Despite the extraordinary growth of interest in field survey projects and regional analysis, and despite the developments in survey methodology...
