An Orchard Invisible: A Natural History of Seeds
ISBN: 9780226757742 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The story of seeds, in a nutshell, is a tale of evolution. From the tiny sesame that we sprinkle on our bagels to the forty-five-pound double coconut borne by the coco de mer tree, seeds are a perpetual reminder of the complexity and diversity of life on earth. With An Orchard Invisible, Jonathan Silvertown presents the oft-ignored seed with the natural history it deserves, one nearly as varied and surprising as the earth's flora itself. Beginning with the evolution of the first seed plant from fernlike ancestors more than 360 million years ago, Silvertown carries his tale... The story of seeds, in a nutshell, is a tale of evolution.

Integrating Ecology and Evolution in a Spatial Context: 14th Special Symposium of the British Ecological Society
ISBN: 9780521549332 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 438 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume advances understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes in a common frame of reference--that of space. Relevant processes operating at the scale of the population, metapopulation, and the geographical range are accordingly examined. Although this study's focus is largely on plants, questions addressed are equally applicable to animals.

The Long and the Short of It: The Science of Life Span and Aging
ISBN: 9780226757896 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Everything that lives will die. That's the fundamental fact of life. But not everyone dies at the same age: people vary wildly in their patterns of aging and their life spans--and that variation is nothing compared to what's found in other animal and plant species. A giant fungus found in Michigan has been alive since the Ice Age, while a dragonfly lives but four months, a mayfly half an hour. What accounts for these variations--and what can we learn from them that might help us understand, or better manage, our own aging?
With The Long and the Short of It, biologist and writer... Everything that lives will die. That's the fundamental fact of life. But not everyone dies at the same age: people vary wildly in their patterns of ag...

Demons in Eden: The Paradox of Plant Diversity
ISBN: 9780226757728 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Jonathan Silvertown here explores the astonishing diversity of plant life in regions as spectacular as the verdant climes of Japan, the lush grounds of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, the shallow wetlands and teeming freshwaters of Florida, the tropical rainforests of southeast Mexico, and the Canary Islands archipelago, whose evolutionary novelties--and exotic plant life--have earned it the sobriquet "the Galapagos of botany." Along the way, Silvertown looks closely at the evolution of plant diversity in these locales and explains why such variety persists in light of ecological patterns...

Dinner with Darwin: Food, Drink, and Evolution
ISBN: 9780226245393 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What do eggs, flour, and milk have in common? They form the basis of waffles, of course, but these staples of breakfast bounty also share an evolutionary function: eggs, seeds (from which we derive flour by grinding), and milk have each evolved to nourish offspring. Indeed, ponder the genesis of your breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and you'll soon realize that everything we eat and drink has an evolutionary history. In Dinner with Darwin, join Jonathan Silvertown for a multicourse meal of evolutionary gastronomy, a tantalizing tour of human taste that helps us to understand the origins of...

Plant Life Histories: Ecology, Phylogeny and Evolution
ISBN: 9780521574952 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 331 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book reexamines patterns of relationship among plant life history traits in phylogenetic perspective. The reexamination first recognizes that because evolution is a branching process, traits are not randomly distributed across taxa and that therefore analysis of trait correlations cannot treat species as independent data points. It then discusses the use of phylogeny to reconstruct the evolutionary pathways of traits. Part 1 looks at the use of the phylogenetic perspective on trait correlation. Parts 2-4 examine traits from the reproductive phase from seed production and dispersal to...

Demons in Eden: The Paradox of Plant Diversity
ISBN: 9780226757711 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. At the heart of evolution lies a bewildering paradox. Natural selection favors above all the individual that leaves the most offspring--a superorganism of sorts that Jonathan Silvertown here calls the -Darwinian demon.- But if such a demon existed, this highly successful organism would populate the entire world with its own kind, beating out other species and eventually extinguishing biodiversity as we know it. Why then, if evolution favors this demon, is the world filled with so many different life forms? What keeps this Darwinian demon in check? If humankind is now the greatest threat to...
