Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details a collection of terrestrial and freshwater mollusks gathered by Mr. Louis Græser in the Amour River basin during four years of travel from 1882 to 1885. The historical and scientific context is set as the author compares the findings to previous expeditions by natur…alists sent by the St. Petersburg Academy of Science. The discoveries are analyzed for their contributions to the current understanding of Siberian fauna, particularly in the context of the notable malacologist Westerlundâs 1877 census of Siberian mollusks. The author explores whether the discoveries by Græser necessitate a reassessment of the species count and discusses taxonomic changes required based on the new data. The analysis and identification of the collected specimens reveal several new species, resolve uncertainties about existing species, and confirm the validity of taxonomic classifications made by previous expeditions. Ultimately, the study expands the knowledge of the geographical distribution of mollusks in a region of the world that is ecologically unique.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a critical exploration of one of the great paradoxes of our time: the simultaneous existence of both widespread material progress and profound spiritual malaise. The author argues that this paradox is rooted in the fundamental misconceptions that have shaped our und…erstanding of the human condition. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from philosophy and psychology to economics and sociology, the author challenges the prevailing view that human beings are essentially rational and self-interested creatures. Instead, he argues that we are fundamentally social and emotional beings, and that our well-being depends on our ability to connect with others and to find meaning in our lives. The author concludes that in order to overcome the spiritual malaise of our time, we need to rethink our understanding of what it means to be human. This requires a fundamental shift in our values, from a focus on material wealth and individual achievement to a focus on human relationships and the common good. Only by making this shift can we create a society that is both prosperous and fulfilling.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a rich exploration of the conchological observations and discoveries that were made by the conchologists and malacologists of the 1800s when the classification and taxonomy of marine life were being debated and refined. The author offers a compilation of papers publ…ished throughout that period by various respected naturalists including A. Moquin-Tandon, P. Fischer, Temple Prime, and A. Morelet. The collection of essays within covers several overarching themes including the anatomy of gastropods, the distribution and classification of various species, and the process of naming and defining new species. Also examined is the value of studying the reproductive systems of various mollusks to gain a better understanding of their taxonomy. The author provides context on the historical backdrop of many of these debates, which centered on the tension between those who wanted to maintain a more traditional approach and those who embraced new methodologies.
