The ultimate visual journey into the beautiful and complex world of wasps
Wasps are far more diverse than the familiar yellowjackets and hornets that harass picnickers and build nests under the eaves of our homes. These amazing, mostly solitary creatures thrive in nearly every habitat on Earth, and their influence on our lives is overwhelmingly beneficial. Wasps are agents of pest control in agriculture and gardens. They are subjects of study in medicine, engineering, and other important fields. Wasps pollinate flowers, engage in symbiotic relationships with other organisms, and create architectural masterpieces in the form of their nests. This richly illustrated book introduces you to some of the most spectacular members of the wasp realm, colorful in both appearance and lifestyle. From minute fairyflies to gargantuan tarantula hawks, wasps exploit almost every niche on the planet. So successful are they at survival that other organisms emulate their appearance and behavior. The sting is the least reason to respect wasps and, as you will see, no reason to loathe them, either. Written by a leading authority on these remarkable insects, Wasps reveals a world of staggering variety and endless fascination.

Описание:
"The Mahatma Misunderstood" studies the relationship between the production of novels in late-colonial India and nationalist agitation promoted by the Indian National Congress. The volume examines the process by which novelists who were critically engaged with Gandhian nationalism, and who saw both the potentials and the pitfalls of Gandhian political strategies, came to be seen as the Mahatma's standard-bearers rather than his loyal opposition.
In doing so, the volume challenges the orthodoxy in postcolonial and subaltern studies which contends that nationalists and nationalisms use independence to bring to power a bourgeois elite, who produce a story about the nation that erases the unevenness of minority experiences and demands in favor of simplified, majoritarian citizenship. Instead 'The Mahatma Misunderstood' demonstrates that nationalist fiction (and by extension the nationalist political movement) was marked from the beginning by a deep ambivalence about the relevance of nationalist agitation and mainstream nationalist politics for minorities in colonial India, and sought to recast anticolonial politics through novelistic debates with the spokesman for Indian nationalism, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
The volume thus articulates a recuperative theory of nationalism in the Indian case, in order to move thinking about nationalism beyond the current impasse produced by postcolonial theory in an era of transnational capitalism that too frequently forgets, underestimates or represses the national in the transnational.

Описание: "Aloha" is at once the most significant and the most misunderstood word in the Indigenous Hawaiian lexicon. Considering the way aloha is embodied, performed, and interpreted in Native Hawaiian literature, music, plays, dance, and drag performance, Stephanie Nohelani Teves shows that misunderstanding of the concept has not prevented the Kanaka Maoli from using it to create and empower community.
Описание: Few people realize how sophisticated and intelligent bats are. Merlin Tuttle knows, and he has stopped at nothing to find and protect them on every continent they inhabit. Sharing highlights from a lifetime of adventure and discovery, Tuttle takes us to the frontiers of bat research to show that frog-eating bats can identify frogs by their calls, that some bats have social sophistication similar to that of higher primates, and that bats have remarkable memories. Bats also provide enormous benefits by eating crop pests, pollinating plants, and carrying seeds needed for reforestation. They save farmers billions of dollars annually and are essential to a healthy planet. Tuttle's account forever changes the way we see these poorly understood yet fascinating creatures.

Get submerged in the amazing world of sharks! Your expert host, award-winning marine biologist Dr. David Shiffman, will show you how--and why--we should protect these mysterious, misunderstood guardians of the ocean.
Sharks are some of the most fascinating, most ecologically important, most threatened, and most misunderstood animals on Earth. More often feared than revered, their role as predators of the deep have earned them a reputation as a major threat to humans. But the truth is that sharks are not a danger to us--they're in danger from us.
In Why Sharks Matter, marine conservation biologist Dr. David Shiffman explains why it's crucial that we overcome our misconceptions and rise above cinematic jump scares to embrace sharks as the imperiled and elegant ocean guardians they really are. Sharing his own fascinating experiences working with sharks, Shiffman tells us
- why healthy shark populations are a must for supporting ocean ecosystems--and the coastal economies that depend on them - why we're in danger of losing many shark species forever - what scientists, conservationists, and readers can do to help save these iconic predators - why so much of what you've heard about sharks and how to save them is wrong
Exploring the core tenets of shark conservation science and policy, Shiffman synthesizes decades of scientific research and policymaking, weaving it into a narrative full of humor and adventure. Touching on everything from Shark Week to shark fin soup, overfishing to marine sanctuaries, Shiffman reveals why sharks are in trouble, why we should care, and how we can save them. Perfect for shark enthusiasts, Why Sharks Matter is an approachable, informative guide to the world of shark conservation and the passionate, fascinating, brilliant people who work to understand and protect our oceans. This fun read will have you looking at sharks with a fresh perspective and an understanding that the survival of sharks is crucial to the survival of another apex predator--ourselves.

Описание:
This book portrays an informative guide for children and adults, telling them about how money works.
Many adults are unapprised about how money works, and are carrying a vague idea about this term in their minds, that does not comply with reality by any means.
Being educated about the facts behind the money game is the necessity of the hour. This book aims to educate children about how money flows in society and its dire need at times that they might often need to cope with. Money needs to be earned with a "work hard, play hard" motto. Sitting idle brings nothing but failure.
In this book, Jay Hingst has tried to highlight the hidden facts about the flow and working of money. He has focused on the politicians, explaining how they use the money of the public to buy their votes and how they tell the people about getting rid of unemployment, increasing their wages, and then raising the taxes on the other side. This leaves the public with less value (purchasing power) in return.
This book is a wake-up call for adults, notifying them about the precarious state of the country. They need to be made aware of the fact that the applied taxes, either direct or hidden, have been raised so high, that people can foresee their bankruptcy- left with no value in their accounts. People are increasing leaving the economy by each passing day, and people are hardly making both ends meet due to the increase in lack of value in their money.
Having embraced sedulous habits throughout, Jay Hingst has spent his life working in a grocery store, hardware store, screw machine shop, root beer stand, and building houses. After completing his education (Bachelor of Science- Industrial Engineering), he worked for different manufacturing companies. He also served as a production supervisor in Orange Juice Bottling plant, and as a night shift supervisor in a medical supply manufacturing company.
He then dedicated 25 years to the I.T. department, where he made a mark with his capabilities. He rewrote several systems to improve efficiency, reducing the run time of cost build from 8 hours to merely one and a half hours. He also successfully reduced the MRP from 12-14 hours to 4 hours. He diligently rewrote the inventory control system for a 40-million-dollar inventory, which required two persons for two weeks each month, to transfer the money to proper accounts. Getting the gist of the inventory control system, he reduced the thousands of dollar error to under a dollar error, thus not needing the people to make the transfers. His assiduous efforts helped the company cut down the annual physical inventory errors that had occurred from 5-7% to under 0.5 % which were now mostly counting errors. He also encountered people who didn't believe in his abilities, but he proved himself worth the trust and task and carried on his painstaking journey.
