What We Must Do to Care for the Animals We Love

World-renowned behavioral scientists Jane Goodall and Marc Bekoff have set forth ten trusts that we must honor as custodians of the planet. They argue passionately and persuasively that if we put these trusts to work in our lives, the earth and all its inhabitants will be able to live together harmoniously. The Ten Trusts expands the concept of our obligation to live in close relationship with animals -- for, of course, we humans are part of the animal kingdom -- challenging us to respect the interconnection between all living beings as we learn to care about and appreciate all species. The world is changing. We are gradually becoming more aware of the damage we are inflicting on the natural world. At this critical moment for the earth, Goodall and Bekoff share their hope and vision of a world where human cruelty and hatred are transformed into compassion and love for all living beings. They dream of a day when scientists and non-scientists can work together to transform the earth into a place where human beings live in peace and harmony with animals and the natural world. Simple yet profound, The Ten Trusts will not only change your perspective regarding how we live on this planet, it will establish your responsibilities as a steward of the natural world and show you how to live with respect for all life.

The Forgotten Factor of Context

A provocative work that challenges our common assumptions about nature and science, this book is for all who want to understand the biological revolution of the late twentieth century. In this clearly written, well-illustrated book, Holdrege describes, using fascinating examples, how living organisms develop and exist within the context of their environments. In an age when we are able to reshape life on earth, this book offers a deeper, more complex vision of nature, one that can help us establish a more conscious and responsible connection to the world around us.

The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty

Now substantially updated with a groundbreaking new introduction on telomeres, bioidentical hormones, and more, Drs. Oz and Roizen--the bestselling coauthors of the blockbuster YOU series--present a new edition of their #1 New York Times bestselling indispensable guide to maintaining vibrant health, improving longevity, and aging gracefully.

Most people think that by age forty-five, every aspect of our bodies is bound to decline. But the wear and tear associated with aging is not inevitable. In fact, the biological processes that age you can be reprogrammed to work the same way they did when you were younger. In this revised edition of the bestselling classic, Drs. Oz and Roizen show you how to beat the seemingly inevitable aging process.

With their entertaining style and signature insight, Dr. Oz and Roizen share a new introduction on telomeres, the nucleotide sequences that cap your chromosomes and may the hold the key to determining your lifespan. There are steps we can take to protect and lengthen these sequences, and YOU: Staying Young explains what to do.

Grounded in the latest scientific research and filled with illustrations, Dr. Oz and Roizen's fourteen-day plan for staying young will help readers boost vitality, increase energy, and improve vitality...and age beautifully. Because living longer isn't about dodging disease, but about sustaining a high quality of life for years to come.

Why evolution is more than just a theory: it is a fact

In all the current highly publicized debates about creationism and its descendant "intelligent design," there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned-the evidence, the empirical truth of evolution by natural selection. Even Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould, while extolling the beauty of evolution and examining case studies, have not focused on the evidence itself. Yet the proof is vast, varied, and magnificent, drawn from many different fields of science. Scientists are observing species splitting into two and are finding more and more fossils capturing change in the past-dinosaurs that have sprouted feathers, fish that have grown limbs.

Why Evolution Is True weaves together the many threads of modern work in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that demonstrate the "indelible stamp" of the processes first proposed by Darwin. In crisp, lucid prose accessible to a wide audience, Why Evolution Is True dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms that this amazing process of change has been firmly established as a scientific truth.

Their History, Culture, Biology, and How They Change Our Lives

Cultural history at its best-the engaging, lively, and definitive story of the beauty, sexuality, ecology, myths, lore, and economics of the world's flowers, written by a passionately devoted author and scientist, and illustrated with his stunning photographs.

Flowers, and the fruits that follow, feed, clothe, sustain, and inspire all humanity. They have done so since before recorded history. Flowers are used to celebrate all-important occasions, to express love, and are also the basis of global industries. Americans buy ten million flowers a day and perfumes are a worldwide industry worth $30 billion dollars annually. Yet, we know little about flowers, their origins, bizarre sex lives, or how humans relate and depend upon them.

Stephen Buchmann takes us along on an exploratory journey of the roles flowers play in the production of our foods, spices, medicines, perfumes, while simultaneously bringing joy and health. Flowering plants continue to serve as inspiration in our myths and legends, in the fine and decorative arts, and in literary works of prose and poetry. Flowers seduce us-and animals, too-through their myriad shapes, colors, textures, and scents. And because of our extraordinary appetite for more unusual and beautiful "super flowers," plant breeders have created such unnatural blooms as blue roses and black petunias to cater to the human world of haute couture fashion. In so doing, the nectar and pollen vital to the bees, butterflies, and bats of the world, are being reduced. Buchmann explains the unfortunate consequences, and explores how to counter them by growing the right flowers. Here, he integrates fascinating stories about the many colorful personalities who populate the world of flowers, and the flowers and pollinators themselves, with a research-based narrative that illuminates just why there is, indeed, a Reason for Flowers.

Harvard biological anthropologist Carole Hooven traces the evolutionary history of testosterone up to the most cutting edge research to illuminate the real biology of masculinity and why understanding the science can lead us toward progress Testosterone may be the most famous player in the world of human biology. We tote it out as an explanation for toxic masculinity and sexual assault, a reason to keep some women from competing in professional sports, a mystical source of vitality and sexual attraction, and even a determining factor in what kinds of toys children choose to play with. But can one hormone—an unexceptional molecule made up of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon—really explain such a range of behavioral traits? In T, Hooven draws on her two decades studying testosterone in humans and other mammals to show that T is much more influential than most people realize, and why it’s vital that we understand the science of how it functions in our bodies. T—and the way we talk about it—affects our relationships, social groups, professional goals, identities, parenting roles, physical safety, justice system, and so much more. Yet much of the current discussion attempts to minimize the reality of T's biological function—because if T has such influence, then doesn’t that put women’s progress toward equality at risk? What does that mean for our society that’s consciously moving away from gendered thinking? Hooven argues that social progress is actually aided by a deep understanding of the science of T, and that we can all be stronger agents of change for knowing our own brains and bodies better.
