DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Microbes form the “unseen majority” of life on Earth, with bacteria at the forefront as both the architects of life’s chemical foundations and agents of disease. But their story is far more complex. Bacteria thrive in diverse and extreme environments, driven by the dynamic evolution of their genomes. These tiny organisms wield an extraordinary ability to adapt, balancing genetic changes across generations with rapid physiological responses to environmental shifts. In Bacterial Genomes, the evolutionary and regulatory processes that shape bacterial life are brought to life. This textbook offers a conceptual exploration of how bacterial genomes are organized, how they evolve, and how their genetic information is interpreted through intricate molecular networks. Drawing on both cutting-edge research and the historical milestones that shaped microbiology, it illuminates how bacteria navigate the intersection of genetic adaptation and ecological resilience. Designed for college students, interdisciplinary researchers, and even the determined amateur, Aswin Seshasayee moves beyond technical jargon to provide a thought-provoking synthesis of bacterial evolution and adaptation.

The Origin Of Species

de Darwin

~~1,91€~~ 1,72€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin must rank as one of the most influential and consequential books ever published, initiating scientific, social and religious ferment ever since its first publication in 1859. Its full title is The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, in some editions prefaced by the word "On."Darwin describes the book as simply an "abstract" of his ideas, which are more fully fleshed out and supported with detailed examples in his other, more scholarly works. The Origin of Species itself was intended to reach a wider audience and is written in such a way that any reasonably educated and thoughtful reader can follow Darwin's argument that species of animals and plants are not independent creations, fixed for all time, but mutable.This Standard Ebooks edition is based on the sixth edition published by John Murray in 1872, generally considered to be the definitive edition with many amendments and updates by Darwin himself.

The Voyage Of The Beagle

de Darwin

~~1,91€~~ 1,72€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In 1831, the twenty-two-year old Charles Darwin embarked on the Royal Navy ship H.M.S. Beagle as it set off on what was to be a five-year-long surveying expedition around South America and across the Pacific. Darwin was employed officially as a naturalist and geologist to assist in the survey, but unofficially as a companion to the captain, Robert Fitz Roy.Darwin was a keen and intelligent observer, and made a number of discoveries on the journey, including the observations at the Galapagos Archipelago which eventually led him to his theory of evolution (later outlined in The Origin of Species). His voyage across the Pacific also led him to propose a now largely accepted theory of the formation of coral atolls.Darwin submitted his journal and notes as part of the official report of the expedition, but in 1839 he published a more readable account of his experiences in this book. Adding to the interest of Darwin's detailed and thorough observations of nature and geology are his deeply critical remarks on the institution of slavery, which he witnessed during his time in Brazil.

Unconscious Memory

~~1,06€~~ 0,95€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Unconscious memory presents a philosophical examination of biological development through the idea that memory operates beneath awareness and guides living behavior. The work argues that habit, instinct, and inherited action are forms of memory passed forward, shaping growth and response without conscious thought. Rather than treating evolution as purely mechanical, the book suggests continuity between past experience and present life, where repeated actions become internalized and automatic. The discussion links memory to adaptation, proposing that what organisms do repeatedly becomes embedded and transmitted. Reflection and argument unfold gradually, blending personal inquiry with scientific challenge. The text questions prevailing assumptions about learning and inheritance, emphasizing continuity rather than accident. Memory is portrayed as an organizing force that connects thought, behavior, and biological form. By merging observation with speculation, the work invites readers to reconsider how intelligence, habit, and survival interact. Overall, it frames evolution as a process influenced by accumulated experience, where unconscious memory acts as a quiet but powerful driver of life.

Luck

~~1,06€~~ 0,95€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Luck or cunning as the main means of organic modification presents an argument that reconsiders how living beings change over generations by linking inherited traits to the persistence of memory. The work questions the idea that evolution operates solely through random variation, suggesting instead that the continuity between generations may be shaped by purposeful patterns that resemble remembered experience. The discussion highlights how organic development can be understood through a blend of observation, reasoning, and careful examination of biological processes. Early in the book, the narrator shifts from a general interest in classification to a closer look at evolutionary theory, emphasizing that understanding descent requires taking intention and structured influence into account. The text proposes that instinct should be viewed as memory carried forward, shaped not by chance alone but by influences that echo through successive generations. By exploring these ideas, the book invites readers to consider evolution as a process that blends adaptation, continuity, and an underlying sense of design, offering a perspective that moves beyond conventional interpretations.

The Priest And The Pigeon

de Bob Corwin

3,95€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 At the end of the 19th century one of the most eminent scientists of the day in effect declared, "We know everything now; the rest is just measurement…," but he didn't know how the sun worked or what was inside an atom or how old the universe was. Many scientists at the time were content to simply say, "God did it." Strangely enough, around 25 years or so later, a Catholic priest didn't think that was a good enough answer. He met with Albert Einstein to discuss a hypothesis he'd developed using Einstein's own Theory of Relativity to show how the universe might have a beginning. Sadly, Albert was not impressed at the time and said so. In the years that followed, the priest was largely forgotten. In 1964, after the forced resettlement of a couple of pigeons from a borrowed piece of equipment, two surprised engineers received one of the oddest Nobel Prize nominations ever. The priest is not the only character whom history almost forgot. There's the woman who gave us a way to measure interstellar distances and the woman who showed us what the sun is actually made of. Neither of them received a Nobel Prize. Today we know how the sun works, what's inside an atom and how old the universe is. How? And what on earth do the Dambusters have to do with it?
