Story
Verglichen mit anderen Erdbewohnern dauert ein Menschenleben nur einen Wimpernschlag: Kalifornische Redwoods können fünftausend Jahre alt werden, einige Quallenarten kehren ihren Alterungsprozess um und manche Bakterien sind sogar unsterblich. Molekularbiologe Nicklas Brendborg nimmt die Leser:innen mit in die entlegensten Winkel der Welt und die modernsten Forschungslabors; unterwegs zu den ältesten Menschen, zu Zombiezellen und zu Experimenten, die unsere grundlegenden Vorstellungen vom Leben auf den Kopf stellen.

Story
From ants scurrying under leaf litter to bees able to fly higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, insects are everywhere. Three out of every four of our planet's known animal species are insects. In The Insect Crisis, Oliver Milman dives into the torrent of recent evidence that suggests this kaleidoscopic group of creatures is suffering the greatest existential crisis in its remarkable 400-million-year history.

Story
‘What is it like to be a bat?’, the philosopher Thomas Nagel famously asked concerning consciousness. For biologist Martin Stevens, the question forms the starting point of an exploration of animal senses. In this enthralling account, we learn not only of the wonder of animal senses, but how they work and how scientists go about investigating them. And, throughout, we consider how these senses came to be.

Story
If you have a taste for honey or an adventurous side, maybe you have thought of becoming a beekeeper. What would you really be in for, though? Is it really a job, or is it a fun way to get your own honey? Well, it's really both. Being a beekeeper is a lot of work, but it also has a lot of benefits. Anyone can do it, as long as they know to be prepared. You can't just wake up one day and decided to be a beekeeper and start immediately, without knowing what you are doing.

Story
"Lively writing about science and nature depends less on the offering of good answers, I think, than on the offering of good questions," said David Quammen in the original introduction to Natural Acts. For more than two decades, he has stuck to that credo. In this updated version of Natural Acts, curiosity leads him from New Mexico to Romania, from the Congo to the Amazon, asking questions about mosquitoes (what are their redeeming merits?), dinosaurs (how did they change the life of a dyslexic Vietnam vet?), and cloning (can it save endangered species?).

Biologen können ganz erstaunliche Dinge zu allgemeinen Gesprächen beitragen - und ganz ehrlich, irgendwie faszinieren uns doch alle die großen Fragen nach dem Leben und unserer Umwelt. Wozu sind Bakterien gut? Wie steht es um die Gesundheit der Korallenriffe? Was ist Schwarmintelligenz? Hier leisten eine in allen Lebenslagen erfahrene marine Mikrobiologin und ein Experte für Amphibien und Reptilien Abhilfe und erklären, erzählen und begeistern. Begleitet werden sie dabei von einem Moderator, der die richtigen Fragen stellt.

Story
Charles Darwin’s theories, first published more than 150 years ago, still set the paradigm of how we understand the evolution of life—but scientific advances of recent decades have radically altered that understanding. In fact the currently accepted history of life on Earth is flawed and out of date. Now two pioneering scientists, one already an award-winning popular author, deliver an eye-opening narrative that synthesizes a generation’s worth of insights from new research.

Wenn Biologen bei Freunden zum Essen eingeladen sind, müssen sie immer wieder die ganz existentiellen Fragen beantworten - manchmal auch die intimen und die ekligen. Was bezweckt eine Nachtigall, wenn sie singt? Haben Goldfische einen Penis? Wird man krank, wenn man am Biofilm im Kühlschrank leckt? In diesem Original Podcast leisten eine in allen Lebenslagen erfahrene marine Mikrobiologin und ein Experte für Amphibien und Reptilien erste Info-Hilfe, zusammen mit einem Journalisten, der eine unschlagbare Begeisterung für alles Lebendige hat.

The Unity of Science

Story
For Irwin Shapiro, science starts with questions. This book provides a broad and entertaining survey of major scientific discoveries that have changed our views of nature and, in turn, spawned further questions. Shapiro, an award-winning scientist and beloved teacher, separates his inquiry into three parts: looking up at the universe; looking down at the earth and its fossils; and looking in at the story of life. His framework encourages listeners to view science as a detective story—to observe and question nature and natural phenomena, and to base all conclusions on scientific evidence.

Story
Since the birth of civilization, human beings have manipulated other life-forms. We have selectively bred plants and animals for thousands of years to maximize agricultural production and cater to our tastes in pets. The observation of the creation of artificial animal and plant variants was a key stimulant for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. The ability to directly engineer the genomes of organisms first became possible in the 1970s, when the gene for human insulin was introduced into bacteria.

Story
Biology is memorizing terms, dissecting animals, and analyzing abstract concepts. Sound familiar? If so, you are like the majority of individuals outside the sciences when considering biology. This audiobook is intended to bridge the gap between traditional biology classes and the practical biology knowledge needed in the real world. In each chapter, a different biological concept is examined and related to some real-world issue or experience in an effort to demonstrate why the science of life matters to your everyday experience.

Story
Ignác Semmelweis is remembered for the now-commonplace notion that doctors must wash their hands before examining patients. In mid-19th century Vienna, however, this was a subversive idea. With deaths from childbed fever exploding, Semmelweis discovered that doctors themselves were spreading the disease. While his simple reforms worked immediately - childbed fever in Vienna all but disappeared - they brought down upon Semmelweis the wrath of the establishment, and led to his tragic end.
