Entomology Redefined
Although their significance often goes unnoticed in our day-to-day lives, insects are diverse creatures that play an indispensable role in our ecosystems. This book presents an in-depth discussion about the field of entomology and discusses the anatomy and physiology of insects, their unique body structures, and how they contribute to their diverse ways of life. It also details the mechanisms behind their behaviors – from intricate mating rituals to elaborate communication methods, and explores the vital roles insects play in pollination, nutrient cycling, and maintaining the delicate balance of ecosystems. The subject matter of this book also includes stories of insect discovery, examples of research, and insights into the ongoing efforts to conserve insect diversity in the face of environmental challenges.

Birds of Stone
Captivating photographs of the world’s most detailed bird fossils illuminate the early diversity of avifauna. When fossils of birds from China’s Jehol region first appeared in scientific circles, the world took notice. These Mesozoic masterpieces are between 120 and 131 million years old and reveal incredible details that capture the diversity of ancient bird life. Paleontologists all over the world began to collaborate with Chinese colleagues as new and wondrous fossil-related discoveries became regular events. The pages of National Geographic and major scientific journals described the intricate views of feathers as well as food still visible in the guts of these ancient birds. Now, fo...

Ecoagriculture for a Sustainable Food Future
Global food security is dependent on ecologically viable production systems, but current agricultural practices are often at odds with environmental sustainability. Resolving this disparity is a huge task, but there is much that can be learned from traditional food production systems that persisted for thousands of years. Ecoagriculture for a Sustainable Food Future describes the ecological history of food production systems in Australia, showing how Aboriginal food systems collapsed when European farming methods were imposed on bushlands. The industrialised agricultural systems that are now prevalent across the world require constant input of finite resources, and continue to cause destruct...
