 Wydawnictwo Hachette Polska przedstawia niezwykle poruszającą opowieść o dziewczynce imieniem Dawn. Sprawiała ona wrażenie grzecznej i nieśmiałej, w rzeczywistości była wewnętrznie poraniona.

Understanding of the ecology of fungal entomopathogens has vastly increased since the early 1800’s, but remains challenging. The often complex interactions between pathogen and host are being unravelled through eloquent research and the importance of the often subtle interactions, in determining the success or failure of biological control, cannot be underplayed. The realm of ecology is vast and deciphering insect-fungal pathogen...

W książce „Hipoteza Medei” Peter Ward prezentuje całkiem nową, stymulującą do przemyśleń wizję relacji łączących organizmy żywe z biosferą Ziemi. Posługując się najnowszymi odkryciami z dziedziny geologii, sugeruje, że największym wrogiem życia jest samo życie. Twierdzenie to pozostaje w sprzeczności z hipotezą Gai, zaproponowaną przez Jamesa Lovelocka, zgodnie z którą to właśnie dzięki życiu panują na Ziemi warunki sprzyjające...
