Der Mensch in Zahlen: Eine Datensammlung in Tabellen mit über 20000 Einzelwerten
by Steffen Schaal Konrad Kunsch Steffen KunschWie groß? Wie schwer? Wie dick? Wie schnell? Wie viel? Wie oft? So beginnen sehr häufig Fragen in der Schule und im Studium. Als Antworten werden genaue und möglichst rekordverdächtige Struktur- und Funktionsdaten erwartet. Darüber hinaus sind es häufig Fragen zum eigenen Körper, zur Gesundheit oder zu gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen, die einen nach zahlenmäßigen Belegen suchen lassen.Das bewährte Konzept der 3. Auflage wurde in der komplett überarbeiteten und aktualisierten 4. Auflage inhaltlich und strukturell fortgesetzt. Ein Einführungstext in die Kapitel bringt die Leser zum Staunen. Übersichtsseiten führen in die Themenbereiche ein. Auf allgemeine Daten folgen spezielle, auf Angaben zur Struktur folgen Zahlen zur Physiologie und zur Molekularbiologie. Statistische Werte vermitteln zum Schluss einen Überblick bei Krankheiten, Drogenproblemen und bei der aktuellen Bevölkerungsentwicklung. Die Relevanz der Daten für Mensch und Gesellschaft in Alltag und Wissenschaft animiert die Leser zum Nachdenken.

Der Superorganismus: Der Erfolg von Ameisen, Bienen, Wespen und Termiten
by Bert Hölldobler Edward WilsonKnapp 20 Jahre nach dem Pulitzer Preis für ihr Werk „The Ants" präsentieren Bert Hölldobler und Edward O. Wilson einem breiten Publikum, was die Biologen in den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten über die Organisationsformen sozial lebender Insekten herausgefunden haben. „Superorganismen" werden Kolonien sozialer Insekten genannt, die sich durch altruistische Zusammenarbeit sowie komplexe Kommunikation und Arbeitsteilung auszeichnen. Ihr Studium erhellt viele Phänomene und Konzepte von allgemeiner Bedeutung in der Biologie.Das Buch zeigt den Weg der Evolution der „Superorganismen". Auf diesem Wissen aufbauend werfen die Autoren einen Blick auf einen der bedeutendsten Übergänge des Lebens: vom Molekül über die Zelle zum Organismus und darüberhinaus zum Superorganismus, zur Population und schließlich zum Ökosystem.Dieser Softcovernachdruck hält das nachgefragte Buch weiterhin verfügbar.

Derrida and Textual Animality: For a Zoogrammatology of Literature (Palgrave Studies in Animals and Literature)
by Rodolfo PiskorskiDerrida and Textual Animality: For a Zoogrammatology of Literature analyses what has come to be known, in the Humanities, as ‘the question of the animal’, in relation to literary texts. Rodolfo Piskorski intervenes in the current debate regarding the non-human and its representation in literature, resisting popular materialist methodological approaches in the field by revisiting and revitalising the post-structuralist thought of Derrida and the ‘linguistic turn’. The book focuses on Derrida’s early work in order to frame deconstructive approaches to literature as necessary for a theory and practice of literary criticism that addresses the question of the animal, arguing that texts are like animals, and animals are like texts. While Derrida’s late writings have been embraced by animal studies scholars due to its overt focus on animality, ethics, and the non-human, Piskorski demonstrates the additional value of these early Derridean texts for the field of literary animal studies by proposing detailed zoogrammatological readings of texts by Freud, Clarice Lispector, Ted Hughes, and Darren Aronofsky, while in dialogue with thinkers such as Butler, Kristeva, Genette, Deleuze and Guattari, and Attridge.

Desert Arthropods: Life History Variations (Adaptations of Desert Organisms)
by Fred PunzoIt is difficult for me to recollect a time when I was not fascinated with the very notion of a desert. Walt Disney's film, The Living Desert, which I initially saw when I was 8 years of age, provided me with my first glimpse of this wondrous yet seemingly ho stile environment. The images were hypnotic and captivating. I looked on in amazement at the promenade Cl deux of the male and female scorpions during courtship. Their rhythmic and coordinated movements as they grasped one another made them appear to glide in unis on over the surface of the sand, each individual totally absorbed with its partner. In the next minute the fern ale had suddenly and utterly transformed herself like some Jekyll and Hyde act, into an aggressive predator whose prior gregarious embrace was now a hold of death for the male. The indomitable desert grasshopper mouse, the ever sentient kit fox, the graceful shovel-nosed snake swimming in an endless sea of sand.
Desert Locust Plagues: Controlling the Ancient Scourge
by Robert A. Cheke Colin EverardFor thousands of years, humans have found themselves vulnerable to plagues of desert locusts. Some fifty countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia have been ravaged, at one time or another, by huge, devouring swarms of locusts. With the consequent, often total, destruction of crops and grazing, widespread hunger and starvation ensued. Colin Everard's book takes as its geographical focus the Horn of Africa, an area which throughout history has suffered catastrophically from locust plagues. Based on his own extensive experience in the region, Everard describes one of the greatest (albeit unsung) triumphs of the twentieth century, namely, how the desert locust scourge has, at last, been virtually brought under control.

Design, Operation, and Control of Insect-Rearing Systems: Science, Technology, and Infrastructure
by Allen Carson CohenDesign, Operation, and Control of Insect-Rearing Systems: Science, Technology, and Infrastructure explains the fundamental components of insect rearing: 1) the rearing systems, per se 2) personnel 3) education of rearing personnel 4) communication of procedures 5) an in-depth look at silkworm rearing 5) facilities where rearing is conducted, and 6) funding for all these components. Insect rearing serves a wide array of purposes, including research, pest control by sterile insect technique and biological control, production of insects as food for other animals, conservation, education, and even far-reaching technology where insects are used to produce products such as pharmaceutical materials and strong, multipurpose textiles. This book surveys and analyzes insect rearing from a scientific and technology-based approach. At its foundation, this approach assumes that rearing systems are complex interactions of components that can be understood and controlled by using a mechanistic approach. Author Allen Carson Cohen explains the infrastructure of rearing systems, their current status and character, and what kind of changes can be made to improve the field of insect rearing. Two Appendices republish out-of-print monographs that provide fascinating historical context to the development of the insect-rearing systems we have today.

Designing Teaching Strategies: An Applied Behavior Analysis Systems Approach (ISSN)
by R. Douglas GreerThe US Dept. of Education, in conjunction with the US Dept. of Health and Human Services, recently unveiled a $50 million effort to expand research on early childhood cognitive development. A key issue identified requiring more information and research was the education and professional development of educators. Along these lines, Doug Greer has prepared a book discussing how best to teach, how to design functional curricula, and how to support teachers in using state-of-the-art science instruction materials. The book provides important information both to trainers of future teachers, current teachers, and to supervisors and policy makers in education. To trainers there is information on how to motivate, mentor, and instruct in-service teachers to use the best scientifically based teaching strategies and tactics. To in-service teachers, there is information on how to provide individualized instruction in classrooms with multiple learning and behavior problems, school interventions to help prevent vandalism and truancy, and how curricula and instruction can be designed to teach functional repetoirs rather than inert ideas. To policy makers and supervisors, the book discusses how to determine the effectiveness of curricular innitiatives toward meeting mandated standards in national assessments.Doug Greer was recently awarded the Fred S. Keller Award for Distinguished Contributions to Education by APA for the research and application of the material covered in this book. School programs incorporating the material used in this book have produced 4-7 times more learning outcomes for students than control and baseline educational programs (see www.cabas.com)The book provides research-based and field-tested procedures for:* Teaching students of all ability levels ranging from preschool to secondary school* How to teach special education students in the context of a regular classroom* Best practices for all teachers to teach more effectively* Means of monitoring and motivating teachers' practices* A comprehensive and system-wide science of teaching—post modern-postmodern!* Tested procedures that result in four to seven times more learning for allstudents* Tested procedures for supervisors to use with teachers that result insignificant student learning* Tested procedures for providing the highest accountability* A systems approach for schooling problems that provide solutions ratherthan blame* Parent approved and parent requested educational practices* Means for psychologists to work with teachers and students to solvebehavior and learning problems* A comprehensive systems science of schooling* An advanced and sophisticated science of pedagogy and curriculum design* Students who are not being served with traditional education can meet orexceed the performance of their more fortunate peers,* Supervisors can mentor teachers and therapists to provide state of thescience instruction* Parent education can create a professional setting for parents, educators,and therapists to work together in the best interests of the student,* Teachers and supervisors who measure as they teach produce significantlybetter outcomes for students,* Systemic solutions to instructional and behavioral problems involvingteachers, parents, supervisors provide means to pursue problems to theirsolution,* A science of teaching, as opposed to an art of teaching, can provide aneducational system that treats the students and the parents as the clients.
