"Here at last is a book that will give the fourth great ape the visibility that this wonderful species deserves. You will learn that bonobos are not just ''little'' chimpanzees, but are every bit as different from chimpanzees as chimpanzees are from gorillas. If you care about the great apes, this book, with its superb photographs and vivid text, is a must."--Jane Goodall "Bonobo provides a tantalizing introduction into the natural history of one of our closest living relatives and uniquely enhances our understanding of our own place in Nature. Anyone who has the pleasure of reading this book will come away with deeper insights into why we humans behave the way we do. We should not be afraid of acknowledging the Bonobo in all of us."--Don Johanson, Director, Institute of Human Origins "With this book, de Waal and Lanting ask us to give bonobos their due--to be considered along side the better known common chimpanzee as close human cousins. How nice to have the peaceable, sexy, bonobo added to the path of human evolution! Bonobos represent the silver lining in our ape heritage."--Meredith Small, author of "What''s Love Got to Do With It?

He has the mind of a scientist, the heart of a hunter, and the eyes of a poet. He is as persistent, adaptable, and hard as the wild creatures he observes. His bonobo photographs bring us face-to-face with a group of highly endangered apes. Eerily, aspects of their behavior mirror our own."--Thomas R. Kennedy, Director of Photography, National Geographic Society This remarkable primate with the curious name is challenging established views on human evolution. The bonobo, least known of the great apes, is a female-centered, egalitarian species that has been dubbed the "make-love-not-war" primate by specialists. In bonobo society, females form alliances to intimidate males, sexual behavior (in virtually every partner combination) replaces aggression and serves many social functions, and unrelated groups mingle instead of fighting. The species''s most striking achievement is not tool use or warfare but sensitivity to others. In the first book to combine and compare data from captivity an

El propósito de este manual es el de recopilar de forma didáctica diferentes tecnicas y procedimientos de microscopía electrónica de transmisión, en particular los más utilizados en los laboratorios de procesamiento de muestras biologicas. Aunque sus contenidos son mas practicos que teoricos, cada tecnica va precedida generalmente de un apartado en el que se explican sus fundamentos y utilidad.

A poca sensiblidad que se tenga, la flora alpina cautiva los sentidos y alegra el espíritu. Este libro, más que nada, intenta ser una guía de afecto entre las montañas del Pirineo aragonés y quienes las recorren. Para ello, nada mejor que decirlo con flores.
