Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A Nature Best Book of 2025 A Wall Street Journal Holiday Gift PickAn elegantly written exploration of the cutting edge science of the strangest and most remarkable creatures on our planet by a leading marine biologistHundred-year-old giant clams, coral kingdoms that rival human cities, and jellyfish that glow in the dark: ocean invertebrates are among the oldest and most diverse organisms on earth, seeming to bend the rules of land-based biology. Although sometimes unseen in the deep, the spineless creatures contain 600 million years of adaptation to problems of disease, energy consumption, nutrition, and defense.In The Oceans Menagerie, world-renowned marine ecologist Dr. Drew Harvell takes us diving from Hawaii to the Salish Sea, from St. Croix to Indonesia, to uncover the incredible underwater superpowers of spineless creatures: we meet corals many times stronger than steel or concrete, sponges who create potent chemical compounds to fight off disease, and sea stars that garden the coastlines, keeping all the other nearby species in balance. As our planet changes fast, the biomedical, engineering, and energy innovations of these wonderous creatures inspire ever more important solutions to our own survival.The Oceans Menagerie is a tale of biological marvels, a story of a womans passionate connection to an adventurous career in science, and a call to arms to protect the worlds most ancient ecosystems. Explores the remarkable biology of ocean invertebrates, highlighting their extraordinary adaptations and contributions to medicine, engineering, and ecological balance, while weaving the author's personal journey as a marine biologist with a call to protect these ancient and vital underwater ecosystems.
