Im Reich der Träume: Die rätselhafte Welt des Schlafes
by David K. RandallDer New York Times-Bestseller über die erstaunlichen Erkenntnisse der SchlafforschungJede Nacht widmen wir ihm etliche Stunden: Dennoch gibt der Schlaf uns allen – Schläfern wie Wissenschaftlern gleichermaßen – verblüffend viele Rätsel auf. Obwohl wir nahezu ein Drittel unseres Lebens schlafend verbringen, wissen wir nicht wirklich, inwiefern dies bedeutsam für uns ist. Warum müssen wir überhaupt schlafen? Warum bedroht Schlafmangel unsere Gesundheit, warum ist Schlafentzug Folter? Was geschieht mit uns, wenn wir träumen? Lernen wir im Schlaf? Und was hat es mit dem Schlafwandeln auf sich?Kaum etwas beeinflusst unser Leben so sehr wie die Qualität unseres Schlafs. Schlafstörungen scheinen in Zusammenhang mit Diabetes, Bluthochdruck, Schlaganfällen und Demenz zu stehen. Und in unseren sozialen Beziehungen birgt der Schlafplatz eine Menge Zündstoff: Sollten Eltern ihr Bett mit ihrem Säugling teilen? Was tun, wenn der andere schnarcht? Ist eine Ehe zum Scheitern verurteilt, wenn die Partner in getrennten Betten schlafen?Der Wissenschaftsjournalist David Randall gewährt uns vielfältige Einblicke in die Forschungsarbeiten, die jene nächtlichen Stunden zu erhellen versuchen. Auf einer Entdeckungsreise, die von Kriegsschauplätzen bis ins Kinderzimmer führt, offenbart Im Reich der Träume, dass Schlafen nicht im Entferntesten so banal ist, wie es uns erscheinen mag, wenn wir abends das Licht ausmachen.
Endangered Species: A Reference Handbook (Contemporary World Issues)
by Jan A. RandallA detailed exploration of the variety of threats that endangered species are facing around the world, whether they are due to human impact or so-called natural causes.Endangered species is a more complex issue and problem than it may seem on the surface. What species are endangered, and what is causing them to become vulnerable to population decline? How can essential industries such as farming, housing development, and manufacturing continue to thrive without harming flora and fauna that are protected? Are current efforts adequate or should more be done to protect endangered species? And who should be responsible for the substantial costs of working to save endangered species?Endangered Species: A Reference Handbook begins with an introduction that addresses major threats and extinctions in history, discusses the geographical and cultural contexts in which these incidents happened, highlights other key moments along the endangered species timeline, and clearly shows why the topic of endangered species matters. The following sections examine an unbiased synthesis of classic and contemporary studies that inform the issue of endangered species and outline the most controversial events related to endangered species and the actions that have been taken to address them. The book also presents perspective essays by scholars, activists, and other experts to provide diverse informed opinions on the issue of endangered species and includes a data and documents chapter that applies research finding to provide answers to questions like what species are most likely to become endangered in the future and which practices have historically been the most effective at protecting vulnerable species.

Pilates is an essential tool for improved, more effective and ultimately safer riding.

Wolves and Dogs: between Myth and Science (Fascinating Life Sciences)
by Friederike Range Sarah Marshall-PesciniVarious parallels have been drawn between wolves and humans from the perspective of their social organisation. Therefore, studying wolves may well shed light on the evolutionary origins of complex human cognition and, in particular, on the role that cooperation played in its development. Humans closely share their lives with millions of dogs – the domesticated form of wolves. Biologically, wolves and dogs can be considered to be the same species; yet only dogs are suitable living companions in human homes, highlighting the importance of cognitive and emotional differences between the two forms. The behaviour of wolves and dogs largely depends on the environment the animals grew up and live in. This book reviews more than 50 years of research on the differences and similarities of wolves and dogs. Beyond the socio-ecology, the work explores different theories about when and how the domestication of wolves might have started and which behaviours and cognitive abilities might have changed during this process. Readers will discover how these fascinating animals live with their conspecifics in their social groups, how they approach and solve problems in their daily lives and how they see and interact with their human partners.
