Zoologi: pattedyr

For første gang et værk om samtlige danske pattedyr – til lands, til vands og i luften. Deres udbredelse, biologi og levevis beskrevet og rigt illustreret med kort, tegninger og fotos. Værket er baseret på over 4000 frivilliges indsamling af data for samtlige 88 danske pattedyrarter.

Meget indbydende og lærerig med overskuelig tekst og tydelige tegninger om at se på stjerner og planeter. Bogen er logisk bygget op med mange overskrifter, så det er nemt at få et overblik. Katten i titlen er forfatterens kat, der deltog i ture ud i natten for at se på stjerner.Anbefales varmt!- LektørudtalelsenEn billed-fagbog, hvor du sammen med katten Felicity kan lære om det uendelige univers.Sammen med Felicity kan du lære, hvad de forskellige stjernebilleder hedder, og hvordan man finder fjerne galakser.Bogen indeholder masser af sjove oplysninger og praktiske råd, så du kan se stjernerne på en måde, som du aldrig har set dem før.Stuart Atkinson har skrevet og redigeret bøger om astronomi og rummet i 30 år.

This game-changing book questions long-accepted rules of primate socioecology and redefines the field from the ground up.

Southern Africa is central to many key debates in contemporary archaeology, including hominid origins, origins of anatomically modern humans and modern forms of behaviour, and the development of ethnographically informed ways of understanding rock art. This book is an archaeological synthesis of the region in fifty years.

"In this new edition, Peter Mitchell provides a comprehensive synthesis of Southern Africa's archaeology over more than three million years. It includes new work that addresses pre-colonial states and the transformations wrought by European colonialism, emphasising Indigenous agency and feeding into efforts to decolonise the discipline"--

A captivating exploration of how underwater animals tap into sound to survive, and a clarion call for humans to address the ways we invade these critical soundscapes - from an award-winning science writer.For centuries humans ignored sound in the 'silent world' of the ocean, assuming that what we couldn't perceive, didn't exist. But we couldn't have been more wrong. Marine scientists now have the technology to record and study the complex interplay of the myriad sounds in the sea. Finally, we can trace how sounds travel with the currents, bounce from the seafloor and surface, bend with temperature, and even saltiness; how sounds help marine life survive; and how human noise can transform entire marine ecosystems.In Sing Like Fish, award-winning science journalist Amorina Kingdon synthesises historical discoveries with the latest research in a clear and compelling portrait of this sonic undersea world. From plainfin midshipman fish, whose swim-bladder drumming is so loud it keeps houseboat-dwellers awake, to the syntax of whalesong, from the deafening crackle of snapping shrimp, to underwater earthquakes and volcanoes, sound plays a vital role in feeding, mating, parenting, navigating, and warning. Meanwhile, our seas also echo with human-made sound, and we are only just learning how these pervasive noises can mask mating calls, chase animals from their food, and even wound creatures.Intimate and artful, Sing Like Fish tells a uniquely complete story of ocean animals' submerged sounds, envisions a quieter future, and offers a profound new understanding of the world below the surface.

On an East-African hunting expedition in 1909, Delia Akeley, a forty-year-old American woman, captured a baby female monkey. Delia's loneliness in an isolating patriarchal world, and her long-frustrated desire to adopt a child, had motivated her to nurture the animal. She named the monkey JT Jr and decided to study her interactions with humans.The unique relationship between Delia and JT unlocked Delia's latent talents of research and observation, anticipating both Jane Goodall's chimpanzee writings and Margaret Mead's Samoan ethnographies. However, Delia's love for JT clashed with her husband Carl's obsession to create a temple of African wildlife dioramas at the Museum of Natural History in New York. Nursing Carl's broken body and realising their diverging interests pushed Delia into a breakdown in Uganda, which led to a savage divorce in Manhattan, and the heartbreaking caging of JT in a Washington zoo. Carl's death triggered a long battle between Delia and Carl's widow, who succeeded in obliterating most of Delia's achievements.In Delia Akeley and the Monkey, Iain McCalman uses official records and personal documents to build a story of passionate love and hate among women, men, animals and museums that predates our times but speaks to our present. It illuminates much about human-animal relations and the tyranny of gender inequality, through reinstating an obscured story of a dedicated amateur primatologist.
