First published in 1876, this two-volume treatise codifies the worlds fauna into six zoogeographic realms: Palearctic, Nearctic, Neotropical, Ethiopian, Oriental, and Australasian, and explains their boundaries through geology, climate, and barriers to dispersal. Wallace integrates exhaustive catalogues with interpretive chapters, using maps, synoptic tables, and bathymetric clues such as shallow seas to infer past connections. Extending P. L. Sclaters avian scheme to vertebrates, his methodical prose offers a Darwinian, historical account that makes biogeography a synthetic science. Wallaces argument grows from lived experience. Years in the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago, where he traced the Wallace Line between Bali and Lombok, gave him intimate knowledge of island faunas, endemism, and migration barriers. As co-formulator of natural selection and an indefatigable collector for museums, he turned field notes, specimen lists, and correspondence with Darwin, Huxley, and Sclater into a principled framework for why species occur where they do. Scholars of evolution, macroecology, and the history of science will find this foundational synthesis indispensable; conservationists and systematists will value its durable logic and global scope. Read it for empirical rigor and conceptual clarity: a master class in converting natural history into theory, and in learning to read the map of life.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

"There is grandeur in this view of life."In 1859, Charles Darwin published a book that would forever alter the course of human thought. On the Origin of Species introduced the world to the concept of Natural Selectionthe process by which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Moving away from the static view of nature, Darwin presented a world of constant, slow, and magnificent transformation.The Mechanism of Life: Through decades of meticulous observationfrom the beak shapes of Galapagos finches to the breeding of domestic pigeonsDarwin laid out a compelling case for how biological diversity arises. He explains how favorable traits are preserved over generations, allowing species to fill specific niches in their environment.A Masterpiece of Scientific Logic: Despite the controversy it initially sparked, On the Origin of Species is written with remarkable clarity and humility. Darwin anticipates and addresses the potential objections of his contemporaries, grounding his revolutionary ideas in overwhelming evidence from geology, embryology, and paleontology. It remains not just a textbook of biology, but a beautifully written tribute to the interconnectedness of all living things.Explore the foundation of your own history.

The modern world views the forest merely as a backdrop for recreation, forgetting that for most of human history, it was our primary grocery store. As food prices rise and the quality of mass-produced produce declines, the ancient skill of foraging is experiencing a necessary renaissance. Natures Hidden Grocery Aisle bridges the gap between urban life and the wild bounty waiting just outside your door, offering a comprehensive roadmap for those who yearn to eat fresh, organic, and free food but are held back by valid concerns about safety.This guide dismantles the intimidation factor surrounding wild edibles by prioritizing safety above all else. Instead of overwhelming you with thousands of species, it focuses intensely on the "Foolproof 15," a curated selection of delicious plants and mushrooms that have no poisonous look-alikes, ensuring your first foray into the woods is a confident one. You will learn to distinguish a delectable treat from a dangerous toxin through high-definition identification guides and the rigorous application of the Universal Edibility Test.Beyond simple identification, the book dives deep into the ethics of sustainable harvesting to ensure the landscape remains fruitful for generations to come. It explores the surprisingly lush world of urban foraging, teaching you how to spot nutritious greens in city environments while navigating potential pollution zones. From spotting spring shoots to harvesting winter roots, this narrative guide transforms your nature walks into a treasure hunt, empowering you to reclaim your food independence and turn the outdoors into your personal pantry without fear.

Human beings have always wanted to become more just and more altruistic, and hoped that future generations would be morally better than the last. In the past, education, teaching, self-discipline, reading, knowledge, and moral exemplars were the main ways to achieve this. But these methods are sometimes ineffective and take a long time to work, especially in the global context where the survival of the human species is threatened by environmental disasters, pandemics, and terrorism. Some writers claim that to deal with these tremendous challenges, we need to find better ways to make people more moral. Genetics, neuroscience, and pharmacology might allow us to alter human biology to make people more generous, compassionate, and empathic. But the moral bio-enhancement project raises many questions: which human traits or dispositions should we change? Should we change emotions or reason? Does moral bio-enhancement allow for freedom? What kind of freedom does it threaten? Are we already practicing forms of moral bio-enhancement without realizing it? This book tries to answer these questions, providing a map of the debate about moral enhancement.

Panspermia e una teoria che sostiene che la Vita e arrivata sul nostro pianeta dallo spazio, durante il Bombardamento Pesante Tardivo , quando forme di Vita primordiali trasportate da corpi celesti sarebbero cadute sulla Terra. È stato dimostrato che i batteri possono resistere ai rigori dell ingresso nell atmosfera. Da li, quei batteri si sono adattati all ambiente e ai suoi continui cambiamenti, iniziando un lungo percorso evolutivo. Siamo solo creature forgiate dai capricci del clima e le esigenze dell ambiente . I primi 670 milioni di anni li abbiamo chiamati: ERA ARCHEOZOICA. Essendo la fase meno conosciuta della Storia, il suo studio non e stato diviso in Periodi. 4.565.000.000 - La collisione delle particelle di roccia e la loro elevata radioattivita origina piu calore, il pianeta si trasforma in un immensa palla di lava incandescente. Frammenti di ferro e altri metalli fusi sono concentrati nel suo centro, formando il nucleo. Rocce e minerali piu leggeri galleggiano sopra il nucleo, in uno strato intermedio chiamato mantello, che e parzialmente pastoso. In questo periodo il mantello e privo di metallo. 4.550.000.000 - Il pianeta ha cominciato a perdere calore nello spazio e la sua superficie si e lentamente raffreddata, formando la prima crosta e litosfera della Terra. I primi vulcani si formano per espellere i gas e il vapore acqueo che si accumulano sotto la crosta, dando origine all atmosfera primitiva. Il magma si solidifica...

The pinnacle of orchid hunting activity was in the nineteenth century when prices for individual plants reached astonishing levels. Such were the profits to be made that many of the most active orchid hunters were directly employed by orchid nurseries in Britain and Europe. These were not the aristocratic administrators of empire; they were trained gardeners and horticulturalists who had a yearning to travel and see for themselves where the plants they nurtured had come from. In this book we explore the activities of these orchid hunters through the years, from the eighteenth century right into the twenty-first century, when the camera replaced the axe and spade. Many of these stories are rarely told in the context of the society that demanded ever bigger and more flamboyant orchids. Some were collected and the sites they had come from forgotten. Some were so valuable that the sites were kept secret, or misleading information given about their origin, even the wrong country being suggested for some. Orchid hunting was not always safe and some collectors never came home. Of those that did return, contemporary documents suggest that some of the stories they came back with enhanced the value of their plants, but were not always entirely accurate in their details. Using original documents as source material, for the first time tales of orchids lost and found, as well as those that sought them, are told in their entirety.
