The Inner Bird Anatomy and Evolution【電子書籍】[ Gary W. Kaiser ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Birds are among the most successful vertebrates on Earth. An important part of our natural environment and deeply embedded in our culture, birds are studied by more professional ornithologists and enjoyed by more amateur enthusiasts than ever before. However, both amateurs and professionals typically focus on birds’ behaviour and appearance and only superficially understand the characteristics that make birds so unique.</p> <p><em>The Inner Bird</em> introduces readers to the avian skeleton, then moves beyond anatomy to discuss the relationships between birds and dinosaurs and other early ancestors. Gary Kaiser examines the challenges scientists face in understanding avian evolution - even recent advances in biomolecular genetics have failed to provide a clear evolutionary story. Using examples from recently discovered fossils of birds and near-birds, Kaiser describes an avian history based on the gradual abandonment of dinosaur-like characteristics, and the related acquisition of avian characteristics such as sophisticated flight techniques and the production of large eggs. Such developments have enabled modern birds to invade the oceans and to exploit habitats that excluded dinosaurs for millions of years.</p> <p>While ornithology is a complex discipline that draws on many fields, it is nevertheless burdened with obsolete assumptions and archaic terminology. <em>The Inner Bird</em> offers modern interpretations for some of those ideas and links them to more current research. It should help anyone interested in birds to bridge the gap between long-dead fossils and the challenges faced by living species.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,632円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<ul> <li>A <strong>diverse market</strong> with four categories of possible readers:</li> </ul> <ol> <li><strong>foraging enthusiasts</strong> living outside of Japan (and maybe a few inside Japan) who want to know how other cultures use and relate to wild edible plants</li> <li><strong>people who love Japanese food</strong> and want to discover something new about an otherwise well-known cuisine</li> <li><strong>people traveling to Japan</strong> (especially rural Japan) who want a more in-depth understanding of what they are eating</li> <li>general <strong>Japanophiles</strong> hungry for any new angle on Japan</li> </ol> <ul> <li>Packed with practical information, with <strong>30 recipes and 25 botanical-glossary entries</strong></li> <li>It has <strong>40 beautiful hand-drawn illustrations</strong></li> <li><strong>A unique approach</strong>: No other English-language books (no cookbooks, field guides, or non-fiction books) that we are aware of cover Japan’s edible wild plants with the depth and breadth of this book (or actually, at all). Journalistically researched yet written in a more <strong>personal voice</strong>, which sets it apart from a number of Japan-foodie-travel books on the market written from a less personal perspective.</li> <li><strong>Rooted in a deep personal interest of the author:</strong> "I have an unusual background combining extensive knowledge of Japan’s natural environment, rural culture, and cuisine gained through years spent living in the Japanese countryside and working as an environmental journalist. For me this was a very personal projects bringing together four of my passions in life: <strong>plants, food, rural culture, and Japan</strong>."</li> <li>It draws on <strong>three years of research</strong> in many remote corners of Japan.</li> <li>Plants reveal <strong>aspects of Japan’s culture and history</strong> that will be of interest to readers who are not especially interested in botany or foraging. This is a book about <strong>how people live</strong> and have historically lived outside Japan’s urban centers.</li> <li>In the author's words: "The idea for this book hit me as I was lying in bed in the middle of the night. I got up and essentially wrote down the outline for it right then and there. <strong>The inspiration came from an 85-year old neighbor I had when I lived in Nagano Prefecture</strong> who was also a writer and plant lover. She collected sansai every spring and introduced me to some of my favorite wild plants..</li> </ul> <p><strong>Statistics</strong></p> <ul> <li>In 2018 Japan saw 31 million visitors from abroad, a 3 million increase from the previous year. This trend is not only expected to continue, but to surge to <strong>40 million in light of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics</strong>.</li> <li><strong>Interest in wild food has steady increased</strong> over the past decadeー2017 saw a sizeable increase in the Google search popularity of “wild food” with a peak in June of 2019.</li> <li>According to <em>Food and Wine</em>, people are becoming concerned about sustainability and food waste. <strong>Foraging and wild edibles present an alternative.</strong> Local and regional cuisines are still in vogue. These trends go hand-in-hand with the emergence of foraging food tours, such as ForageSF.</li> <li>The popularity of wild foods and foraging is further reflected in <strong>successful YouTube food and lifestyle channels around foraging</strong> even in niche subcategories: Coastal Foraging with Craigs Evans, 68k subscribers; Outdoor Chef Life, 218k subscribers. <a href="www.youtube.com/channel/UCpBQMibpipuqHsI_mJMVveA">www.youtube.com/channel/UCpBQMibpipuqHsI_mJMVveA</a><a href="www.youtube.com/channel/UCNqpN335uVY9Sx_ZK_WuOAA">www.youtube.com/channel/UCNqpN335uVY9Sx_ZK_WuOAA</a></li> <li>You can find similar success in print media such as the blogger and writer <strong>Hank Shaw who has won multiple awards for his writing on hunting and foraging</strong>.
