Dinner with Darwin

Food, Drink, and Evolution

de Jonathan Silvertown ...

A "delectably erudite" study of how natural selection has shaped the foods we eat: "This intricate scientific banquet is a marvelous read: bon appétit." — NatureWhat do eggs, flour, and milk have in common? They form the basis of waffles, of course, but these breakfast staples also share an evolutionary function: eggs, seeds (from which we derive flour by grinding), and milk have each evolved to ...

The Science of Life Span & Aging

"[A] whimsical book on aging . . . the author mixes art, science, and humor to brew a highly readable concoction, presenting one aging theory after another." — Publishers WeeklyEverything that lives will die. That's the fundamental fact of life. But not everyone dies at the same age: people vary wildly in their patterns of aging and their life spans—and that variation is nothing compared to what's ...

How Leaves Conjure Up Our World

In this provocative reimagining of what it is to be a plant, an evolutionary biologist draws on a lifetime of research to offer a beguiling behind-the-scenes perspective on how plants really work—and how we truly depend on leaves for our survival.

Des cavernes aux cuisines, l'évolution

de Jonathan Silvertown ...

Traducido por Viviane Fenter, Lionel Pousaz ...

Imaginons nos lointains ancêtres en train de partager une grande table de banquet pour célébrer l’évolution… avec Charles Darwin aux cuisines.

Selfish Genes to Social Beings

A Cooperative History of Life

de Jonathan Silvertown ...

For all the "selfishness" of genes, they team up to survive. Is the history of life in fact a story of cooperation? Amid the violence and brutality that dominates the news, it's hard to think of ourselves as team players. But cooperation, Jonathan Silvertown argues, is a fundamental part of our make-up, and deeply woven into the whole four-billion-year history of life. Starting with human society ... Leer más

與達爾文共進晚餐：演化如何造就美食，食物又如何形塑人類的演化

Dinner with Darwin: Food, Drink, and Evolution

de 強納森．席佛頓Jonathan Silvertown ...

Traducido por 鄧子衿 ...

每一種食物都有自己的演化歷史，每一個市場都塞滿了天擇的產品，這本書是一份邀請函，邀請你與達爾文一起用餐，暢談我們與食物交織而成的精采歷程。這是一頓令人愉悅的大餐，充滿食物、廚藝、人類與生物共同演化的科學，揭示了我們的採買清單、食譜和餐廳菜單的內容，並非只是帶來美味的材料。這其中蘊藏許多迷人的天擇故事，結果影響了我們的盤中物，也影響了我們的品味。說到雞蛋、麵粉和牛奶，你會想到什麼共通點？它們是鬆餅或許多點心的基本材料，不過還有另一個有趣的答案。雞蛋、種子（麵粉是由小麥種子磨成的）和牛奶，都演化出具有「養育後代」的功能。只要仔細思考我們三餐所攝取的東西，會發現我們吃的喝的每一樣食物都有一段演化歷史。讓我們一起與達爾文共進晚餐，上幾堂演化美食課。這趟誘人的味覺美食之旅能幫助我們了解人類的歷史、飲食的起源，以及數萬年來的重要食物，包括麵包、香料、海鮮、肉類到美酒 ...

Sex in City Plants, Animals, Fungi, and More

A Guide to Reproductive Diversity

de Kenneth D. Frank ...

Cities pose formidable obstacles to nonhuman life. Vast expanses of asphalt and concrete are inhospitable to plants and animals; traffic noise and artificial light disturb natural rhythms; sewage and pollutants imperil existence. Yet cities teem with life: In rowhouse neighborhoods, tiny flowers bloom from cracks in the sidewalk. White clover covers lawns, its seeds dispersed by shoes and birds. ... Leer más

I segreti della durata della vita

de Jonathan Silvertown ...

Tutto ciò che vive prima o poi è destinato a morire. È una delle poche certezze che abbiamo, probabilmente l’unica. Sappiamo anche che la durata della vita non è identica per tutti gli esseri viventi. Negli esseri umani la sua variabilità è altissima, nemmeno lontanamente comparabile con quanto accade negli altri animali, la cui aspettativa di vita pare avere maggiore uniformità. E quindi perché ... Leer más

La vita segreta dei semi

de Jonathan Silvertown ...

Se il cuore di una mela racchiude un frutteto invisibile, come recita un proverbio gallese, proviamo a immaginare quali scrigni di tesori abbia in serbo quell’enorme semenzaio che - secondo Henry Thoreau - è la terra. Nel caso dei semi scienza e fantasia gareggiano, ma la prima sembra avere la meglio: romanzi gotici e d’avventura, trame amorose, drammi della fiducia tradita non riuscirebbero a ... Leer más
