Many mammals, reptiles, fish, and amphibians produce chemicals in their bodies in order to ward off predators. Some manufacture poisons or smelly or painful substances in their own bodies. Others acquire these chemicals through their diet. Engaging text and eye-catching photographs invite readers to delve into the world of stinky sprays, poisonous skin, and slimy goo in order to understand how animals use these chemicals to defend themselves. A discussion of humans' relationship to chemical weapons helps deepen students' understanding of chemicals as defense, while fast facts and lively sidebars explore unusual venoms and behaviors.

The Insects has been the standard textbook in the field since the first edition published over forty years ago. Building on the strengths of Chapman's original text, this long-awaited 5th edition has been revised and expanded by a team of eminent insect physiologists, bringing it fully up-to-date for the molecular era. The chapters retain the successful structure of the earlier editions, focusing on particular functional systems rather than taxonomic groups and making it easy for students to delve into topics without extensive knowledge of taxonomy. The focus is on form and function, bringing together basic anatomy and physiology and examining how these relate to behaviour. This, combined with nearly 600 clear illustrations, provides a comprehensive understanding of how insects work. Now also featuring a richly illustrated prologue by George McGavin, this is an essential text for students, researchers and applied entomologists alike.

The present work proposes a tour from quantum physics to genetic engineering, going through us and a little further. It is a subtle and deep ride that dives into mankind's biggest mysteries. The proposal is to present scientific knowledge through an accessible language, worthy of a science fiction author. However, the author uses his academic knowledge to approach the subject with seriousness, in which the theoretical base is the fruit of an extensive research aiming to bring updated information, supported by renowned books and articles. In a beautiful fusion of the complicated and the subtle, the objective is to simply challenge you to think about everything and the anti-everything, through an unusual and surprising plot. Some of the approached subjects: Fundamental forces, Theory of Everything, space-time, multiverse, string theory, M theory, Big Bang, general and special relativity, DNA, genetic engineering, chemical weapons, heredity, stem cells, genetic enhancement, cloning, programed death, telomerase, antimatter, dark matter, dark energy, quantum mechanics, double slit experiment, quantum leap, quantum entanglement, quantum teleportation, chemical evolution, RNA world, panspermia, God and us.
