El árbol enmarañado: Una nueva y radical historia de la vida
by David QuammenUn revelador libro que abre las puertas a descubrimientos que podrían transformar radicalmente nuestra manera de concebir la evolución. ¿Quiénes somos, qué somos y cómo evolucionó la vida en nuestro planeta? En la década de los setenta diversos científicos empezaron a comparar secuencias de ADN con el fin de ahondar en nuestro conocimiento sobre la historia de la vida. Su trabajo supuso una drástica revisión de uno de los conceptos más básicos de la biología, la idea del árbol de la vida. Al descubrir que los genes también pueden desplazarse lateralmente, traspasando así los límites entre especies, dieron un vuelco a la certeza tradicional de que los genes se transferían de arriba abajo, es decir únicamente de padres a hijos. Una revelación que no solo ponía en duda cuanto sabíamos sobre la evolución humana, sino que inauguraba una serie nueva de incertidumbres, pues acarreaba importantes implicaciones sobre la identidad, la individualidad y la salud humana. En El árbol enmarañado, David Quammen, uno de los mejores divulgadores científicos de la actualidad, nos presenta este y otros hallazgos trascendentales en el campo de la biología molecular para abrirnos las puertas a descubrimientos que transformarán radicalmente nuestra idea de la evolución. Porque, como dice el autor «no somos precisamente lo que pensábamos que éramos. El árbol de la vida está más enmarañado.» Reseñas:«Quammen no es un escritor corriente. Es sorprendente, uno de esos raros narradores bendecidos con brío, ingenuidad, humor, instinto y con un gran corazón.»Elle «Quammen es el mejor reportero del mundo natural. Cada página desborda descripciones de una autenticidad extraordinaria.»Parul Sehgal, The New York Times «David Quammen demuestra ser un guía excepcional, inmensamente bien informado para una historia de tal complejidad. En mi opinión, es el mejor escritor de historia natural; sus libros impresionan por su precisión, su energía y su escritura brillante y evocativa.»David Barash, The Wall Streer Journal «Quammen has escrito una profunda y atrevida aventura intelectual. El árbol enmarañado es mucho más que un reportaje sobre algunos hechos científicos atractivos; es una auténtica fuente de maravillas.»Thomas Levenson, The Boston Globe «Quammen es un maestro en deconstruir conceptos científicos para luego armar con ellos una narrativa coherente, comprensible y reveladora. Es justamente lo que hace en El árbol enmarañado, centrándose en los científicos que, recientemente, han cambiado todo cuanto sabíamos sobre la evolución, la herencia genética y, sí, el origen de las especies.»Jennifer Bort Yacovissi, Washington Independent Review of Books «La ciencia y la filosofía se interconectan de maneras que a la mayoría de nosotros se nos escapan. Pero Quammen siempre está alerta.»John Archibald, Nature «Un vívido testimonio de cómo la nueva investigación genética está cambiando radicalmente la historia de la vida.»Andrea Thompson, Scientific American «Con humor, lucidez y testimonies increíbles de descubrimientos y contiendas, Quammen repasa minuciosamente las revelaciones que han dejado al descubierto la espectacular complejidad de la vida.»Booklist «Una obra maestro de un nuevo campo de la biología molecular [...] un relato impresionante sobre quizás la revolución científica más desconocida del siglo XX.»Kirkus «Quammen es uno de los mejores periodistas científicos y este libro es una obra colosal, una narración maestra sobre cómo el árbol de la vida fue replanteado por un grupo de pensadores originales.»Barbara Kiser, Nature «Quammen explora temas importantesy
The Arbornaut: A Life Discovering the Eighth Continent in the Trees Above Us
by Meg Lowman“An eye-opening and enchanting book by one of our major scientist-explorers.” —Diane Ackerman, author of The Zookeeper’s WifeNicknamed the “Real-Life Lorax” by National Geographic, the biologist, botanist, and conservationist Meg Lowman—aka “CanopyMeg”—takes us on an adventure into the “eighth continent” of the world's treetops, along her journey as a tree scientist, and into climate actionWelcome to the eighth continent!As a graduate student exploring the rain forests of Australia, Meg Lowman realized that she couldn’t monitor her beloved leaves using any of the usual methods. So she put together a climbing kit: she sewed a harness from an old seat belt, gathered hundreds of feet of rope, and found a tool belt for her pencils and rulers. Up she went, into the trees. Forty years later, Lowman remains one of the world’s foremost arbornauts, known as the “real-life Lorax.” She planned one of the first treetop walkways and helps create more of these bridges through the eighth continent all over the world. With a voice as infectious in its enthusiasm as it is practical in its optimism, The Arbornaut chronicles Lowman’s irresistible story. From climbing solo hundreds of feet into the air in Australia’s rainforests to measuring tree growth in the northeastern United States, from searching the redwoods of the Pacific coast for new life to studying leaf eaters in Scotland’s Highlands, from conducting a BioBlitz in Malaysia to conservation planning in India and collaborating with priests to save Ethiopia’s last forests, Lowman launches us into the life and work of a field scientist, ecologist, and conservationist. She offers hope, specific plans, and recommendations for action; despite devastation across the world, through trees, we can still make an immediate and lasting impact against climate change. A blend of memoir and fieldwork account, The Arbornaut gives us the chance to live among scientists and travel the world—even in a hot-air balloon! It is the engrossing, uplifting story of a nerdy tree climber—the only girl at the science fair—who becomes a giant inspiration, a groundbreaking, ground-defying field biologist, and a hero for trees everywhere.Includes black-and-white illustrations

Arbuscular Mycorrhizas: Physiology And Function
by Hinanit Koltai Yoram KapulnikIn the years since the first edition of "Arbuscular Mycorrhizas: Physiology and Function" was published, an exceptional proliferation of interest in mycorrhizal biology has developed. This has been associated with advances in different research disciplines such as genetics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and physiology, advances which have generated better insight into topics of mycorrhizal biology, including the mechanisms of host-mycorrhiza interactions pre- and post-penetration, the influence of the symbiosis on the host and its surroundings, and the evolution and diversity of mycorrhization. It therefore became necessary to both update and expand the book's coverage in this, its second edition.
Arbuscular Mycorrhizas and Stress Tolerance of Plants
by Qiang-Sheng WuThis book reviews the potential mechanisms in arbuscular mycorrhizas (AMs), in the hope that this can help arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to be more used efficiently as a biostimulant to enhance stress tolerance in the host plants. AMF, as well as plants, are often exposed to all or many of the abiotic and biotic stresses, including extreme temperatures, pH, drought, water-logging, toxic metals and soil pathogens. Studies have indicated a quick response to these stresses involving several mechanisms, such as root morphological modification, reactive oxygen species change, osmotic adjustment, direct absorption of water by extraradical hyphae, up-regulated expression of relevant stressed genes, glomalin-related soil protein release, etc. The underlying complex, multi-dimensional strategy is involved in morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes. The AMF responses are often associated with homeostatic regulation of the internal and external environment, and are therefore critical for plant health, survival and restoration in native ecosystems and good soil structure.

Archaeoastronomy And The Roots Of Science
by E. C. KruppArchaeoastronomy is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary inquiry into the minds of our prehistoric and ancient ancestors, one that attempts to reconstruct the ways in which early peoples made use of the sky and its significance to them. Astronomy appears to be a fundamental component of culture, making the scope of archaeoastronomy worldwide. Thi
