Download or read book The Evolution of Social Behaviour written by Michael Taborsky and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can the stunning diversity of social systems and behaviours seen in nature be explained? Drawing on social evolution theory, experimental evidence and studies conducted in the field, this book outlines the fundamental principles of social evolution underlying this phenomenal richness.To succeed in the competition for resources, organisms may either 'race' to be quicker than others, 'fight' for privileged access, or 'share' their efforts and gains. The authors show how the ecology and intrinsic attributes of organisms select for each of these strategies, and how a handful of straightforward concepts explain the evolution of successful decision rules in behavioural interactions, whether among members of the same or different species. With a broad focus ranging from microorganisms to humans, this is the first book to provide students and researchers with a comprehensive account of the evolution of sociality by natural selection.

Download or read book Ravine of Blood and Shadow written by Derek Prior and published by Homunculus. This book was released on 2019-06-28 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the dwarves of the Ravine City have hidden away from the world above, but their self-imposed exile is about to end. Ravine Guard Carnac Thayn has always felt there was more to life than humdrum patrols and drinking in the local taverns. Told since childhood that the blood of heroes flows through his veins, he can only assume it has been diluted by beer and boredom. But when Carn is called to a murder scene and gives chase to the culprit, his unnatural speed and strength shock him to the core. The murder is no isolated incident. A volume of the city’s chronicles is stolen, only to be secretly returned. Rumblings come from the deep mines, and a troublesome philosopher arrives in a last-ditch attempt to avert the coming catastrophe. As events spiral out of control, Carn finds himself the only thing standing between the dwarves and their doom. He might even prevail if it were a matter of prowess with an axe, but the enemy is more subtle than that, and his weapons are delusion and despair. Blood will flow in rivers through the ravine. A name will be forgotten. A hero will rise. Or a destroyer. “Prior weaves a fully realized world in this rich fantasy.” (Kirkus Reviews) "A beautifully written and engrossing masterwork!" (Mitchell Hogan) Fantasy Faction semifinalist for the SPFBO 2018

Book excerpt: California Dreamin' from Pénélope Bagieu depicts Mama Cass as you've never known her, in this poignant graphic novel about the remarkable vocalist who rocketed The Mamas & the Papas to stardom. Before she was the legendary Mama Cass of the folk group The Mamas and the Papas, Ellen Cohen was a teen girl from Baltimore with an incredible voice, incredible confidence, and incredible dreams. She dreamed of being not just a singer but a star. Not just a star—a superstar. So, at the age of nineteen, at the dawn of the sixties, Ellen left her hometown and became Cass Elliot. At her size, Cass was never going to be the kind of girl that record producers wanted on album covers. But she found an unlikely group of co-conspirators, and in their short time together this bizarre and dysfunctional band recorded some of the most memorable songs of their era. Through the whirlwind of drugs, war, love, and music, Cass struggled to keep sight of her dreams, of who she loved, and—most importantly—who she was.

But when you're the only Zeus in the world, life tends to get a bit complicated. The Great Battle saw the world changed forever when humans killed the gods and absorbed their powers. One power was coveted above all others: Zeus's. Thirteen-year-old Hailey Woods is the first Zeus in over a century. Unlike everyone else, she hates her powers because of an ancient prophecy that claims a Zeus will have to save the world someday. Hailey doesn't want to save the world. She wants to be a normal teenager, whose biggest dilemma in life is deciding what to eat for lunch, rather than training to become the ultimate weapon. Poseidon's Academy, an underwater palace where her powers don't work, was meant to give her that opportunity. But when she arrives, she discovers the sea-nymphs living there are plotting to resurrect the gods, and Hailey must find a way to stop them before they can enact the prophecy. So much for normal!
