From the cup of coffee that jump-starts the day to dangerously addictive drugs, the recreational use of plants with psychoactive properties has a long history among humans. But, as with many things, it turns out that other animals got there first. From parrots to primates, consuming medicinal chemicals is an instinctive behavior that helps countless organisms fight infection and treat disease. But the similarities don't end there: Like us, many creatures also consume substances that have no apparent benefit...except for inducing intoxication.

Sehen Sie Schmetterlinge, deren bunte Flügel im Sonnenlicht strahlen? Beobachten Sie vielleicht einen Vogel seine Eier ausbrüten? Blicken Sie auf Bienen, die gerade Blumen bestäuben oder regnet es vielleicht? Vermutlich ist der Blick aus dem Fenster für Sie bereits ein vertrauter Anblick und doch können Sie mir glauben, wenn ich Ihnen sage, dass genau dieser vertraute Anblick nach dem Lesen dieses Buches ein anderer sein wird.

Dieses Hörbuch macht die komplexe Entstehung des Lebens auf unserem Planeten erstmals für alle verständlich. Dabei stand das Leben auf der Erde schon mehrfach kurz vor der Auslöschung. Es gab zwei Millionen Jahre dauernde Vulkanausbrüche und mehrfach schwere Asteroideneinschläge. Katastrophen, ohne die allerdings etwa die Ausbreitung der Säugetiere nicht möglich gewesen wäre. Henry Gee schildert unterhaltsam und anschaulich, wie sich das Leben immer wieder durchsetzte.

Sie sind überall, meist sind sie unsichtbar, und sie halten unsere Welt am Laufen - Bakterien, Viren, Algen und Pilze. Wie konnte ein unscheinbares Bakterium dem Christentum Fronleichnam bescheren? Warum ist ein Augentierchen der Hoffnungsträger der Raumfahrt? Und weshalb sollten Umweltschützer Fische mit Herpes-Viren infizieren? Florian Freistetter und Helmut Jungwirth zeigen uns die Welt, wie sie sich unter dem Mikroskop offenbart. In 100 informativen wie schrägen Kapiteln erklären sie den Kosmos der Mikrobiologie und erzählen eine Geschichte der Welt, wie es sie noch nicht gegeben hat.

When we think of electricity, we likely imagine the energy humming inside our home appliances or lighting up our electronic devices - or perhaps we envision the lightning-streaked clouds of a stormy sky. But electricity is more than an external source of power, heat, or illumination. Life at its essence is nothing if not electrical.

In the book Diet and Health, I explained what brought us to our current state of 40 percent obesity in the Western world. My goal is to prevent type 2 diabetes, and to do that, I have to prevent obesity. I compared our historical diet to the modern Western diet, and showed how the modern diet has induced insulin resistance. I offered treatment for those who are obese or have pre-diabetes. I then described the various maintenance diets. If you already have type 2 diabetes, I can help you control it.

Spontaneous generation of living organisms - life arising without progenitor or seed - was a common belief in the time of Aristotle. Over the next 2,000 years, support for spontaneous generation slowly retreated to its final stronghold: spontaneous formation of the first living organism.

Las ideas más peregrinas tienen hoy que adoptar una vestidura "científica" para obtener credibilidad. No son ahora extrañas las "pruebas" de abducciones extraterrestres o de poderes telepáticos o los "documentos" que respaldan que el Holocausto nunca ocurrió. Schermer se interna en ese mundo de profetas y visionarios, fundamentalistas religiosos e "historiadores" racistas, y nos ofrece un análisis de sus credos y métodos, que desmonta pieza a pieza, aplicando nada más que el pensamiento científico.
