'Riveting . . . Honnold is neither crazy nor reckless. Alone on the Wall reveals him to be an utterly unique and extremely appealing young man' - Jon Krakauer, bestselling author of Into the Wild.This updated edition contains the account of Alex's El Capitan climb, which is the subject of the Oscar and BAFTA winning documentary, Free Solo.Alex Honnold is one of the world's best 'free solo' climbers, he scales impossible rock faces without ropes, pitons or any support of any kind. Exhilarating, brilliant and dangerous, there is a purity to Alex's climbs that is easy to comprehend, but also impossible to fathom; in the last forty years, only a handful of climbers have pushed themselves as far, 'free soloing' to the absolute limit of human capabilities. Half of them are dead. From Yosemite's famous Half Dome to the frighteningly difficult El Sendero Luminoso in Mexico, Alone on the Wall explores Alex's seven most extraordinary climbing achievements so far. These are tales to make your palms sweat and your feet curl with vertigo. Together, they get to the heart of how - and why - Alex does what he does. Exciting, uplifting and truly awe-inspiring, Alone on the Wall is a book about the essential truth of being free to pursue your passions and the ability to maintain a singular focus, even in the face of mortal danger.

What is Life? Decades of research have resulted in the full mapping of the human genome - three billion pairs of code whose functions are only now being understood. The gene's eye view of life, advocated by evolutionary biology, sees living bodies as mere vehicles for the replication of the genetic codes. But for a physiologist, working with the living organism, the view is a very different one. Denis Noble is a world renowned physiologist, and sets out an alternative view to the question - one that becomes deeply significant in terms of the living, breathing organism. The genome is not life itself. Noble argues that far from genes building organisms, they should be seen as prisoners of the organism. The view of life presented in this little, modern, post-genome project reflection on the nature of life, is that of the systems biologist: to understand what life is, we must view it at a variety of different levels, all interacting with each other in a complex web. It is that emergent web, full of feedback between levels, from the gene to the wider environment, that is life. It is a kind of music.Including stories from Noble's own research experience, his work on the heartbeat, musical metaphors, and elements of linguistics and Chinese culture, this very personal and at times deeply lyrical book sets out the systems biology view of life.

Wunder der Natur??Die Kunst kommt aus dem Meer - Ernst Haeckels Lithografien??Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) war ein deutscher Biologe, Naturforscher, Evolutionist, K?nstler, Philosoph und Arzt, der sein ganzes Leben damit verbrachte, die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt von den h?chsten Berggipfeln bis in die tiefsten Weltmeere zu erforschen. Als leidenschaftlicher Verfechter und Fortentwickler der Theorien Darwins verfasste er philosophische Abhandlungen, promovierte in Zoologie und pr?gte wissenschaftliche Begriffe, die bis in die Alltagssprache von heute vordrangen, wie ?kologie, Stamm (Phylum) und Stammzelle.??Wie sein geistiger Vorfahr Alexander von Humboldt wollte Haeckel nicht nur entdecken, sondern auch erkl?ren. Dazu fertigte er Hunderte detaillierter Zeichnungen, Aquarelle und Skizzen seiner Forschungsergebnisse, die er im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert in mehreren B?nden ver?ffentlichte, unter anderem in einer Reihe meeresbiologischer Monografien sowie in seinen prachtvollen Kunstformen der Natur, die als Zusammenfassung seines Lebenswerks betrachtet werden k?nnten.??Die Drucke waren nicht nur f?r die Naturforschung von Bedeutung, sondern beeinflussten Generationen von K?nstlern und Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts, vor allem die Vertreter des Jugendstils.??Dieser Band zeigt Drucke aus einigen der wichtigsten Ver?ffentlichungen Haeckels, aus Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschw?mme: eine Monographie und seinem ber?hmtesten Werk, Kunstformen der Natur. In einer Zeit, in der die Artenvielfalt zunehmend durch menschliches Handeln bedroht wird, ist dieses Buch nicht nur ein visueller Genuss sondern auch eine eindringliche Erinnerung daran, wie wichtig die Vielfalt des Lebens ist.
