    A Biography

    par Janet Browne ...
    Collections Livre 2 - BOOKS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD
    No book has changed our understanding of ourselves more than Darwin's Origin of Species. It caused a sensation on its first day of publication in 1859 and went on to become an international bestseller.

    A major new book overturning our assumptions about how evolution worksEarth’s natural history is full of fascinating instances of convergence: phenomena like eyes and wings and tree-climbing lizards that have evolved independently, multiple times.

    par Dr Graham Taylor, Dr Adrian Thomas ...
    Collections series Oxford Series in Ecology and Evolution
    Evolutionary biomechanics is the study of evolution through the analysis of biomechanical systems. Its unique advantage is the precision with which physical constraints and performance can be predicted from first principles. Instead of reviewing the entire breadth of the biomechanical literature, a few key examples are explored in depth as vehicles for discussing fundamental concepts, analytical ... En savoir plus

  • Too Smart for our Own Good

    The Ecological Predicament of Humankind

    par Craig Dilworth ...
    We are destroying our natural environment at a constantly increasing pace, and in so doing undermining the preconditions of our own existence. Why is this so? This book reveals that our ecologically disruptive behaviour is in fact rooted in our very nature as a species. Drawing on evolution theory, biology, anthropology, archaeology, economics, environmental science and history, this book explains ... En savoir plus

    Woolly monkeys are large, attractive and widespread primates found throughout many parts of the Amazon basin.

But now, especially because of their size, these creatures are pressed on all sides by bush meat ... En savoir plus

    A Darwinian approach

    par Gabriella Magyar, Liz Pásztor, Zoltán Botta-Dukát, Tamás Czárán, Géza Meszéna ...
    Ecology is in a challenging state as a scientific discipline. While some theoretical ecologists are attempting to build a definition of ecology from first principles, many others are questioning even the feasibility of a general and universal theory. At the same time, it is increasingly important that ecology is accurately and functionally defined for a generation of researchers tackling ... En savoir plus
