In Why We Run, biologist, award-winning nature writer, and ultramarathoner Bernd Heinrich explores a new perspective on human evolution by examining the phenomenon of ultraendurance and makes surprising discoveries about the physical, spiritual -- and primal -- drive to win. At once lyrical and scientific, Why We Run shows Heinrich's signature blend of biology, anthropology, psychology, and philosophy, infused with his passion to discover how and why we can achieve superhuman abilities.

In his new preface Bernd Heinrich ranges from Maine to Alaska and north to the Arctic as he summarizes findings from continuing investigations over the past twenty-five years--by him and others--into the wondrous energy economy of bumblebees.

Although Gerd Heinrich, a devoted naturalist, specialized in wasps, Bernd Heinrich tried to distance himself from his "old-fashioned" father, becoming a hybrid: a modern, experimental biologist with a naturalist's sensibilities.
In this extraordinary memoir, the award-winning author shares the ways in which his relationship with his father, combined with his unique childhood, molded him into the scientist, and man, he is today. From Gerd's days as a soldier in Europe and the family's daring escape from the Red Army in 1945 to the rustic Maine farm they came to call home, Heinrich...

Technical advances are currently playing a prominent role in media law. The terms of use for media products have radically changed since the introduction of the Internet and the process of digitalization. The technical requirements for distributing media products as well as users' behavior have consequences for the legal framework of media law. The retention of stored data is just one example.
The fifth volume addresses fundamental questions regarding the provider's liability, the protection of personal data, and the responsibility of users and companies under criminal law. With...

"From one man's persistent and elegant probing of the temperature biology of bees, we have been led to a deeper understanding of the whole biology of many insect taxa, and of their interactions with ecological and environmental stresses: all who work at the interfaces of physiology, ecology and behaviour have cause to be grateful, and all should certainly read this book." (Trends in Ecology & Evolution) "An outstanding source of information, and can be read with profit and satisfaction by the professional biologist and interested amateur alike." (Nature)

Kruk wciąż nie cieszy się zbyt wielką popularnością. Przez wieki w powszechnym mniemaniu wraz z czarnym kotem był symbolem zła i towarzyszem czarownic. Tymczasem kruk to stworzenie wyjątkowe. Nie tylko ze względu na ważną rolę, jaką pełni w ekosystemie, ale także z powodu niebywałej inteligencji. Kruk ma charakter! Bernd Heinrich dowodzi tego w swojej najnowszej książce. Argumentów mu nie brakuje, bo spędził lata na obserwacjach. Przesiedział miesiące w czatowniach, opiekował się młodymi krukami, odwiedzał udomowione ptaki i ich właścicieli, szukając praw,...
