The most commonly kept domestic animal in the developed world, the cat has been a part of human life for thousands of years. Cats have been both worshipped and persecuted over this long period - either loved or hated for their enigmatic self-reliance and the subject of numerous myths and fables. Highlighting startling discoveries made over the last ten years, this new edition features contributions from experts in a wide range of fields, providing authoritative accounts of the behaviour of cats and how they interact with people. Thoroughly revised and updated to include information on the basic features of cat development and social life, the history of their relations with humans, health and welfare problems, and the breeding of cats for sale and for show. It is intended for all those, whether specialist or general reader, who love or are simply intrigued by these fascinating animals.

This is one of the books that changed science. For the first time Linnaeus’s Fauna Suecica now meets its audience in a modern translation. Published in Latin in 1761 (expanded from the 1746 edition) it is a seminal work that helped to establish the foundation for the classification of modern species. It systematically categorises and morphologically describes 2,328 Swedish animal species – a journey from man to earthworm, revealing their habits, environments, and historical context. It is a window into the mind of a scientific pioneer.

The Sunday Times Bestseller A new, fully updated narrative edition of David Attenborough’s seminal biography of our world, The Living Planet. Nowhere on our planet is devoid of life. Plants and animals thrive or survive within every extreme of climate and habitat that it offers. Single species, and often whole communities adapt to make the most of ice cap and tundra, forest and plain, desert, ocean and volcano. These adaptations can be truly extraordinary: fish that walk or lay eggs on leaves in mid-air; snakes that fly; flightless birds that graze like deer; and bears that grow hair on the soles of their feet.In The Living Planet, David Attenborough’s searching eye, unfailing curiosity and infectious enthusiasm explain and illuminate the intricate lives of the these colonies, from the lonely heights of the Himalayas to the wild creatures that have established themselves in the most recent of environments, the city. By the end of this book it is difficult to say which is the more astonishing – the ingenuity with which individual species contrive a living, or the complexity of their interdependence on each other and on the habitations provided by our planet.In this new edition, the author, with the help of zoologist Matthew Cobb, has added all the most up-to-date discoveries of ecology and biology, as well as a full-colour 64-page photography section. He also addresses the urgent issues facing our living planet: climate change, pollution and mass extinction of species.
Lagunen : Aristoteles grundläggning av vetenskapen
AvArmand Marie Leroi
Inbunden, Svenska, 2026
329 kr
Skickas
Kring en bukt vid en lagun lade Aristoteles grunden för vetenskapen. Ungefär 2 500 år senare reser biologen Armand Marie Leroi till samma plats i ett försök att rekonstruera den värld där filosofen levde och verkade – där han med metodisk noggrannhet dissekerade djur, klassificerade arter och förde register över hur de levde. Lagunen är berättelsen om hur vetenskapen föddes ur dessa första iakttagelser. Leroi följer Aristoteles steg för steg, prövar hans teorier och gör upp med hans gissningar och missförstånd. Resultatet är en levande skildring av hur världen en gång började betraktas med vetenskapens blick: hur naturen blev ett fält för undersökning, inte bara förundran. Sedd genom Lerois blick framträder Aristoteles inte bara som den första biologen, utan också som en av de största.

I människans skugga
AvJane Goodall

245 kr
Skickas
”I över ett halvår hade jag försökt övervinna schimpansernas inneboende rädsla för mig, en rädsla som fick dem att försvinna in i undervegetationen så snart jag närmade mig. Till en början hade de flytt redan när jag befann mig på femhundra meters avstånd och dessutom på andra sidan av en ravin. Nu satt två hannar så nära att jag nästan kunde höra deras andetag.”
När Jane Goodall, 26 år gammal, begav sig till Gombe Stream-reservatet i Tanzania för att studera schimpanser och deras beteenden så visste ingen, allra minst hon själv, att det var början på ett vetenskapligt projekt som skulle pågå i minst sextio år. Resultatet av hennes studier är ett helt nytt sätt att se på schimpanser – och därmed också på oss själva.
I människans skugga är Jane Goodalls både skarpa och ömsinta redogörelse för schimpansernas komplexa sociala hierarkier, livsvillkor och beteendemönster. Likheterna mellan schimpans och människa, och vikten av att människan ger schimpansen den respekt och livsutrymme arten förtjänar, framträder i ljuset av denna bok som blev en omedelbar klassiker när den utkom 1971.

Ny bok om evolutionens underverk av författaren till Den själviska genen
»En färgsprakande rundtur i naturen sedd ur genernas synvinkel.« Times väljer Den genetiska dödsboken till Årets vetenskapsbok 2024
»En magnifik bok om evolutionens underverk.« Philip Ball, Science
En kamouflerad ödla har ett uttorkat landskap av sand och stenar »målat« på ryggen. Ödlans hud kan läsas som en beskrivning av en urtida öken, en värld där dess förfäder levde och överlevde. Sådana beskrivningar går dock djupare än huden. De tränger ända in i den levande varelsens grundstomme.Den genetiska dödsboken är en banbrytande bok: ett utforskande av den darwinistiska evolutionens makt och vad den kan avslöja om det förflutna. Richard Dawkins visar hur varje levande varelses kropp, beteende och gener kan läsas som en bok - ett arkiv över dess förfäders världar. I framtiden kommer en zoolog som ställs inför ett hittills okänt djur att kunna avkoda dess förfäders historia genom att läsa djurets unika »dödsbok«.Den genetiska dödsboken är rikt illustrerad i färg och öppnar porten till ett förflutet som är mer levande, nyanserat och fängslande än någonting vi tidigare sett.
RICHARD DAWKINS [f. 1941] är evolutionsbiolog, etolog, före detta professor vid Oxfords universitet och flerfaldigt prisbelönt författare. Med debuten Den själviska genen [1976] förändrade han helt synen evolutionsteorin och han har jämförts med tidigare revolutionära biologer som Charles Darwin, James Watson och Francis Crick.

Mama's Last Hug
Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves
AvFrans de Waal

Mama’s Last Hug is a fascinating exploration of the rich emotional lives of animals, beginning with Mama, a chimpanzee matriarch who formed a deep bond with biologist Jan van Hooff. Her story and others like it—from dogs “adopting” the injuries of their companions, to rats helping fellow rats in distress, to elephants revisiting the bones of their loved ones—show that humans are not the only species with the capacity for love, hate, fear, shame, guilt, joy, disgust, and empathy. Frans de Waal opens our hearts and minds to the many ways in which humans and other animals are connected.

THE TIMES BEST SCIENCE BOOK OF 2024GUARDIAN BEST IDEAS BOOKS OF 2024ECONOMIST BEST BOOKS OF 2024FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOKS OF 2024From one of the world’s great science writers, a book that explores the deepest principles of evolutionary history.In this groundbreaking new approach to the evolution of all life, Richard Dawkins shows how the body, behaviour, and genes of every living creature can be read as a book – an archive of the worlds of its ancestors. A perfectly camouflaged desert lizard has a desiccated landscape of sand and stones ‘painted’ on its back. Its skin can be read as a description of ancient deserts in which its ancestors survived – and, before that, of the worlds of its more remote ancestors: a genetic book of the dead.But such descriptions are more than skin-deep. The fine chisels of Darwinian natural selection carve their way through the very warp and woof of the body, into every biochemical nook and corner, into every cell of every living creature. A zoologist of the future, presented with a hitherto-unknown animal, will be able to reconstruct the worlds that shaped its ancestors, to read its unique ‘book of the dead’.The book is filled with fascinating examples of the power of Darwinian natural selection to build exquisite perfection, paradoxically accompanied by what look like gross blunders. Along the way, Dawkins dismantles influential criticisms of the ‘gene’s-eye-view’ of life. And, to end with a provocative sting in the tail, the author asks there is a sense in which all our ‘own’ genes can be seen as a gigantic colony of cooperating viruses?From the author of The Selfish Gene and The Ancestor’s Tale comes a revolutionary, richly illustrated book that unlocks the door to an ancient past, seen through wholly new eyes.

The latest edition of Animal Nutrition has been updated thoroughly to provide a clear and comprehensive introduction to the science and practice of animal nutrition. This classic, market-leading text is a trusted resource for undergraduates studying Animal Science, Veterinary Science, Agriculture, Biology and Biochemistry. It is supported by key experimental evidence throughout about modern advancements in animal food nourishment, composition of foods and feeding standards for dairy and beef cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry, horses, and cats and dogs.

It is split into six main sections covering: The components of food; The digestion and metabolism of nutrients; Quantifying the nutrient content of foods: digestibility, energy and protein values; The nutrient requirements of animals; The nutritional characteristics of foods; and Animal products and human nutrition. Quantitative aspects of the subject are clearly explained and illustrated by worked examples. Problems have been added to all chapters to aid student learning and the appendices include solutions to all chapter-end numeric questions.

This edition includes nutritional topics related to molecular biology, the environment, and companion animals - dog and cat nutrition has been expanded. Under nutrient requirements of animals, usage of novel foods such as insects has also been added. Chapter-end summaries and questions allow students to recap and test their knowledge of the chapter topic.

Russinkungen är den tredje och sista delen i den svit fristående essäer vars inledande delar är Flugfällan (2004) och Flyktkonsten (2006), båda stora kritiker- och publikframgångar. Berättelsens hjälte är Gustaf Eisen (18471940). Som vanligt kan man förstås hävda att bokens egentliga hjälte är författaren själv, men Eisen är åtminstone hans kamrat på en äventyrsfylld och minst sagt osannolik resa. Denne man, som i barndomen var så klen att hans överlevnad ansågs oviss, kom nämligen att leva ett liv som torde sakna motstycke i vårt land. Redan 1869 skrev han en avhandling om Gotska Sandöns naturhistoria, slog sedan igenom som daggmaskforskare och var därmed en föregångare till Darwin (som han korresponderade med) och hann under tiden med att inviga sin gamle vän August Strindberg i oljemåleriets mysterier. Eisen reste på 1870-talet till Kalifornien inte bara för att samla maskar. Han slog sig också på vinodling och skrev ett epokgörande verk om russinindustrin. I Russinkungen fullföljer Fredrik Sjöberg en del spår från de två tidigare böckerna. Läsaren av Russinkungen får veta hur vet hur det gick med flugsamlingen, hur samlandet blev litteratur och litteraturen blev konst och hur flugorna från Flugfällan hamnade i konstvärlden.

Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist
AvFrans de Waal
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
320 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In Different, world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal draws on decades of observation and studies of both human and animal behavior to argue that despite the linkage between gender and biological sex, biology does not automatically support the traditional gender roles in human societies. While humans and other primates do share some behavioral differences, biology offers no justification for existing gender inequalities.Using chimpanzees and bonobos to illustrate this point—two ape relatives that are genetically equally close to humans—de Waal challenges widely held beliefs about masculinity and femininity, and common assumptions about authority, leadership, cooperation, competition, filial bonds, and sexual behavior. Chimpanzees are male-dominated and violent, while bonobos are female-dominated and peaceful. In both species, political power needs to be distinguished from physical dominance. Power is not limited to the males, and both sexes show true leadership capacities.Different is a fresh and thought-provoking approach to the long-running debate about the balance between nature and nurture, and where sex and gender roles fit in. De Waal peppers his discussion with details from his own life—a Dutch childhood in a family of six boys, his marriage to a French woman with a different orientation toward gender, and decades of academic turf wars over outdated scientific theories that have proven hard to dislodge from public discourse. He discusses sexual orientation, gender identity, and the limitations of the gender binary, exceptions to which are also found in other primates.With humor, clarity, and compassion, Different seeks to broaden the conversation about human gender dynamics by promoting an inclusive model that embraces differences, rather than negating them.

The art of classification
AvDavid Bainbridge
Häftad, Engelska, 2025
253 kr
Skickas
Humankind’s fascination with the animal kingdom began as a matter of survival – differentiating the edible from the toxic, the ferocious from the tractable. Since then, our compulsion to catalogue wildlife has played a key role in growing our understanding of the planet and ourselves, inspiring religious beliefs and evolving scientific theories. The book unveils wild truths and even wilder myths about animals, as perpetuated by zoologists – revealing how much more there is to learn, and unlearn.Long before Darwin, our ancestors were obsessed with the visual similarities and differences between the animals. Early scientists could sense there was an order that unified all life and formulated a variety of schemes to help illustrate this. This human quest to classify living beings has left us with a rich artistic legacy, from the folklore and religiosity of the ancient and Medieval world through the naturalistic cataloging of the Enlightenment to the modern, computer-generated classificatory labyrinth.This book tells the fascinating, visual story of this process. The wonderful zoological charts reflect prevailing artistic trends and scientific discoveries, as well as telling us as much about ourselves as they do about the creatures depicted.

495 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Introduction to Human-Animal Interaction focuses on the human dimension of interacting with other animals. This book introduces recent developments, theories, and debates in the relatively new research area of Human-Animal Interaction (HAI) and focuses on the social and life sciences aspect of these interactions. Experts from different academic disciplines provide an overview for students and professionals interested in how humans and other animals interact, and what advantages and disadvantages emerge for both parties in this relationship.The book starts with the theories and mechanisms supporting our interactions with animals, such as human-animal communication, and it then covers the implications of HAI in terms of ethics and welfare. After discussing cultural differences and forensic aspects in human-animal interaction (e.g., wildlife crime and animal abuse), the book examines evidence in the area of animal-assisted intervention. The final chapters give an overview of current research in specific human-animal interaction systems: human-pet, human-livestock and human-wildlife interaction. The book offers a scientific, evidence-based perspective on human-animal interaction, providing pedagogical tools to make a systematic, critical and constructive evaluation of research in HAI possible. It offers a range of in-text pedagogical features like a subject index, chapter MCQs, open questions, further reading, and additional digital resources including videos which are accessible via QR codes or through the associated website. This textbook provides the fundamental tools for achieving a comprehensive, current, and critical overview of the HAI field and is an integral text for undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking modules in human-animal interaction, in social sciences such as anthropology, cultural studies, criminology, ethics and laws or in life sciences such as animal behaviour, conservation and welfare, biology, neuroscience, physiology, psychology, public health and those studying veterinary science.
