""Frozen Predators"" explores the lives of apex predators like polar bears, leopard seals, and arctic foxes in Earth's coldest regions, revealing their unique adaptations and crucial roles in fragile Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems. The book emphasizes how the success of these hunters is deeply connected to stable icy environments, threatened now more than ever by climate change. Through the lens of these iconic species, it examines broader themes of adaptation, survival, and the impact of environmental shifts, highlighting the intricate balance within these ecosystems. The book presents a comprehensive look at the physical and behavioral adaptations that enable these animals to thrive despite extreme conditions. For example, it discusses the insulation of polar bear fur, the diving physiology of leopard seals, and the camouflage of arctic foxes. Beginning with an introduction to the Arctic and Antarctic, the book progresses to detail the hunting techniques of each predator, such as polar bears hunting on sea ice and leopard seals ambushing prey in Antarctic waters. Ultimately, it discusses the conservation challenges facing these predators and what their decline could mean for the entire planet, offering potential solutions and avenues for future research.

Pests cause damage to the economic value of crops and stored products, while vectors are responsible for the transmission of disease-causing agents in human beings and livestock. Although application of synthetic pesticides in agriculture gives immediate relief, it also causes well-known side effects, leading to a consensus among entomologists and agriculturists to shift towards other ecofriendly pest management methods. Natural enemies of insects including their predators, parasitoids and pathogens have attracted the attention of scientists across the globe. These natural enemies exist in agroecosystems and suppress the populations of pests. Parasitoids are farmers’ friends and the most successful group of natural enemies. Highly specialized/generalized in their prey choice, active stages of predators search for a suitable prey, attack or kill the prey and consume prey within a short handling time. Predatory ability is known to increase with increase in prey density. A single predator may devour several prey individuals. Exploiting this potency of parasitoids may yield successful results in controlling notorious pests in an ecofriendly way. This book provides information on the important biocontrol agents that are effective in pest suppression. It starts with insect parasitic groups followed by specific group of parasitoids. It is hoped that the book presents a comprehensive account of beneficial parasitoids and will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Entomology, Biological Control, Plant Protection, Agricultural Zoology and Zoology, besides those involved in competitive examinations and policy planning. Features Each chapter has been authored by specialized senior professionals Every chapter contains Learning Objectives and Points to Remember This book offers comprehensive knowledge of parasitoids and their application in pest management in a lucid way

Frogs Freeze Solid explores the extraordinary ability of the wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) to survive being frozen solid. This amphibian's freeze tolerance is a fascinating example of ecological adaptation, allowing it to thrive in environments that would be lethal to most creatures. The book delves into the complex physiological mechanisms behind this phenomenon, revealing how the wood frog can halt its breathing and heartbeat, endure ice crystal formation within its body, and then revive completely upon thawing. One key insight is how wood frogs accumulate cryoprotectants like glucose, preventing cellular damage during freezing. The book examines the wood frog's life cycle, habitat, and the environmental challenges it faces. It highlights the cellular processes, circulatory adaptations, and metabolic suppression that enable freeze tolerance. Readers will understand how the frog regulates ice formation and protects its cells from damage. The book also considers evolutionary implications, showing how this adaptation has allowed wood frogs to colonize northern latitudes. The integrated physiological, ecological, and evolutionary approach in Frogs Freeze Solid offers a holistic understanding of this adaptation. It progresses logically from the basics of amphibian physiology to the detailed mechanisms of freeze tolerance and its broader ecological significance. This exploration includes laboratory experiments, field studies, and comparative analyses, making it valuable for researchers, students, and anyone intrigued by nature's remarkable survival strategies.

"THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS is a must read for anyone involved in or simply interested in sports. It tells the real story of what I went through and how countless athletes of all levels are still going through now.....unnecessarily. When no one else could, they helped me to recognize how my throwing problems came directly from sports traumas that were stuck in my brain. And then Grand and Goldberg had the knowhow to release it with the miracle of Brainspotting." Mackey Sasser Former catcher for NY Mets "THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS is a MUST READ for athletes, their parents and coaches, as well as for all psychotherapists and performance experts. In case you didn't know it, THE YIPS has a clearly explainable relationship to past trauma. All one has to do is take a detailed history of the life of an athlete from his/her earliest childhood, relate that to his/her history of physical injuries and throw in a dollop of shame and criticism from parents and coaches and the reason for the yips emerges with crystal clarity. These facts are clearly illustrated in this compelling, fascinating and ground-breaking book by Drs. Grand and Goldberg. Brain-based principles of body-based memory, neurosensitization and cue-related anxiety from the trauma literature clearly prove that the yips come from post-traumatic stress syndrome. And Brainspotting has shown to be dramatically effective in mitigating, and even healing, this vexing syndrome." Robert Scaer, MD Author of THE BODY BEARS THE BURDEN and THE TRAUMA SPECTRUM THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS: Beating Blocks, Slumps and Performance Anxiety for Good is the ground-breaking book that will change the face of sports performance forever. This book introduces the breakthrough concept of STSD (Sport Traumatic Stress Disorder). Grand and Goldberg have discovered that STSDs are the cause of most significant performance problems. Performance blocks and anxiety, including the yips, stem from accumulated sports traumas including sports injuries, failures and humiliations. The authors also introduce the Brainspotting Sports Performance System (BSPS) which quickly finds, releases and resolves the sports traumas held in your brain and body. An easy read, THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS is filled with engaging, informative, inspiring stories. These case examples illustrate how professional, elite, collegiate and junior athletes have been freed for good from this silent "epidemic" of performance blocks and anxiety including: the yips, "Steve Blass disease," "Mackey Sasser syndrome," protracted slumps, balking, choking and freezing. THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS provides the answers and the cure for athletes, their coaches and parents about "Beating Blocks, Slumps and Performance Anxiety for Good " Grand and Goldberg also show how their BSPS can take all athletes to levels they could only heretofore dream of www.thisisyourbrainonsports.com
