Merging evolutionary ecology and cognitive science, cognitive ecology investigates how animal interactions with natural habitats shape cognitive systems, and how constraints on nervous systems limit or bias animal behavior. Research in cognitive ecology has expanded rapidly in the past decade, and this second volume builds on the foundations laid out in the first, published in 1998. 'Cognitive Ecology II' integrates numerous scientific disciplines to analyze the ecology and evolution of animal cognition. The contributors cover the mechanisms, ecology, and evolution of learning and memory, including detailed analyses of bee neurobiology, bird song, and spatial learning. They also explore decision making, with mechanistic analyses of reproductive behavior in voles, escape hatching by frog embryos, and predation in the auditory domain of bats and eared insects. Finally, they consider social cognition, focusing on alarm calls and the factors determining social learning strategies of corvids, fish, and mammals. With cognitive ecology ascending to its rightful place in behavioral and evolutionary research, this volume captures the promise that has been realized in the past decade and looks forward to new research prospects.

Drawing on inexhaustible reserves of energy and knowledge, the distinguished British historian J. A. S. Grenville tells a story as remarkable for its sweep and drama as for its deft attention to detail. From the economic fallout of Versailles to the emergence of Japan, from the Great Depression to the Spanish Civil War, from the Soviet threat to the Middle East Crisis, we see history unfolding here and encounter the forces and personalities that have transformed the world. Grenville paints clear, sharp portraits of great events and of key figures such as Churchill and Hitler, Kennedy and Khrushchev, Mao and Gandhi, Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed and in-depth look at typhus fever, a disease that has plagued humanity for centuries. Examining the historical context of the disease, the author presents a meticulous study conducted in Poland in 1920. The book delves into the technical aspects of the research, including the meticulous maintenance of louse colonies, the methods of dissecting and examining lice, and the staining techniques employed. It meticulously explores the clinical aspects of the disease, analyzing the symptoms, the course of the illness, and the treatment options available at the time. The text also delves into the pathology of typhus, providing a detailed description of the microscopic and macroscopic changes that occur in the body of infected individuals. The book explores the complex relationship between lice and the disease, investigating the role of these insects in transmission and the identification of Rickettsia prowazekii, the microorganism responsible for typhus. In examining the complexities of the disease and its relationship to its vector, the author provides a foundation for understanding the transmission, treatment, and impact of typhus, a disease that continues to present a significant public health challenge in many parts of the world.

Light shelf wear to wrapper and a little discolouration to top edge of text block, but contents otherwise clean and sound. - The first full biography about the distinguished US surveyor-inventor and his sons. 75 Illustrations, references. It was June 1840 when U.S. surveyor William Austin Burt first entered Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a wilderness that, according to Henry Clay, "stretched beyond the remotest settlement of the United States". Neither Burt nor his sons could have envisioned the role they would play in helping shape the future of this area. William Austin would soon discover a new source of wealth for Michigan and the nation, and the event would confirm the value of Burt's unique invention for surveying the expanding U.S. Frontier, the solar compass. His son John would become a leader in the growth and development in the Upper Peninsula, particularly Marquette County. William Austin was on the Michigan Territorial Council, and in 1833, named associate judge for Macomb County Circuit Court. In that same year, at age 41, he received his first contract as a deputy surveyor and began surveying public lands. Size: Quarto. 188 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
