Größenwahn: Zur Evolution biologischer Signale im sozialen Miteinander: ein Tuch aus 36 Fäden
by Michael Hermanussen Christiane SchefflerGroßsein ist großartig. Körpergröße ist ungeheuer wichtig. Wer groß ist, erscheint kompetent, verdient mehr Geld, nimmt bevorzugte Positionen in der Gesellschaft ein. Wer auf andere herabschauen kann, wirkt nicht nur auf seine Mitmenschen dominant, sondern ist zu allem Überfluss auch noch selbst von der eigenen Großartigkeit überzeugt. Diese und ähnliche Vorurteile bestehen nicht von ungefähr: sie haben evolutionsbiologische Hintergründe. Körpergröße ist ein Signal. Seine Regulation ist in der Wirbeltierreihe seit mindestens 400 Millionen Jahren konserviert – und weil dieses Signal auch von Menschen ganz selbstverständlich und strategisch genutzt wird, entzieht es sich fast vollständig unserer bewussten Wahrnehmung. Zwei international renommierte Wissenschaftler, ein Pädiater und eine Humanbiologin, zeigen erstmals in allgemeinverständlicher Sprache auf welche Weise sich diese Signale auf Alltag und soziale Netzwerke auswirken, und wie sie unser politisches und wirtschaftliches Leben beeinflussen.

by María Victoria GaiardelliConmovedoras historias que revelan por qué son nuestras mascotas las que nos eligen a nosotros para sanar nuestra alma, y no nosotros a ellas, como muchas veces creemos. Todos alguna vez escuchamos historias de personas que dedican su vida a rescatar animales de la calle y del abandono. Pero ¿somos nosotros los que los salvamos, o en realidad son ellos los que vienen a rescatarnos de mil modos? En este libro, María Victoria Gaiardelli recopila una serie de relatos protagonizados por animales que eligieron a seres humanos para sanarlos y cambiarles la vida y se convirtieron en sus guardianes del alma para siempre. El gato adoptado que salvó de la muerte por asfixia a toda una familia, el perro que alertó a una joven sobre la inminente detonación de una bomba, la perra que revirtió los signos vitales de una niña minutos antes de que fuera sometida a una intervención quirúrgica y el caballo que liberó a su dueña del abismo de los ataques de pánico son algunas de esas historias de esperanza y oportunidad. Advertencia: si al leerlas se emocionan, es porque un alma animal se está apoderando de su alma humana. Y es lo mejor que podría pasarles.

Guardians of the Yosemite: A Story of the First Rangers
by John W. BingamanIn Guardians of the Yosemite: A Story of the First Rangers, which was first published in 1961, John W. Bingaman provides the reader with a fascinating account of the early days of park rangers, who took charge just as the U.S. Army withdrew from Yosemite. As Dr. Carl Parcher Russell puts it so succinctly, “the precedents and practices established by [the park ranger] were all-important in shaping the protection principles which characterize the present-day Ranger Department.”In the author’s own words, “the purpose in writing this book is to leave permanent records of the First Rangers who contributed so much during their long years of service, and to bridge the gap from the military to the civilian protection and administration of Yosemite National Park.“During the years of my service in Yosemite, from 1918 to 1956, I found there was very little information on the lives and activities of the First Rangers. Some of these men were still in service when I became a Ranger. However, many had died and their records were few and scattered.“In the old days, one would hear the remark, ‘It is a privilege to work for the Park Service.’ It was a privilege for me to serve thirty-eight years in the Yosemite Ranger Service, to be associated with the many fine Park people and the guardians and administrators of the National Park Service whose principal purpose was to serve loyally the cause of the parks.”
