The Serengeti Rules
The Quest to Discover How Life Works and Why It Matters
Sean B. Carroll
How does life work? How does nature produce the right numbers of
zebras and lions on the African savanna, or fish in the ocean? How
do our bodies produce the right numbers of cells in our organs and
bloodstream? In The Serengeti Rules, award-winning biologist and author
Sean Carroll tells the stories of the pioneering scientists who sought the
answers to such simple yet profoundly important questions, and shows
how their discoveries matter for our health and the health of the planet
we depend upon.
One of the most important revelations about the natural world is that
everything is regulated—there are rules that regulate the amount of
every molecule in our bodies and rules that govern the numbers of every
animal and plant in the wild. And the most surprising revelation about
the rules that regulate life at such different scales is that they are remarkably similar—there is a common underlying logic of life. Carroll recounts
how our deep knowledge of the rules and logic of the human body has
spurred the advent of revolutionary life-saving medicines, and makes
the compelling case that it is now time to use the Serengeti Rules to heal
our ailing planet.
A bold and inspiring synthesis by one of our most accomplished
biologists and gifted storytellers, The Serengeti Rules is the first book to
illuminate how life works at vastly different scales. Read it and you will
never look at the world the same way again.

The Wondrous World
of Fireflies
Sara Lewis
For centuries, the beauty of
fireflies has evoked wonder and

remain shrouded in mystery: How
do fireflies make their light? What
are they saying with their flashing? And what do fireflies look for
in a mate? In Silent Sparks, noted
biologist and firefly expert Sara
Lewis dives into the fascinating
world of fireflies and reveals the
most up-to-date discoveries about
these beloved insects. This beautifully illustrated and accessible
book uncovers the remarkable,
dramatic stories of birth, courtship, romance, sex, deceit, poison,
and death among fireflies.

Incredible Microbes
Marilyn J. Roossinck
With a foreword by
Carl Zimmer
“Viruses rule our world. They both
threaten to kill us and help to
regulate the food webs of oceans.
They embed themselves in our
DNA and stalk the bacteria in
our guts. They are ever-present,
understudied, and, as this book
makes more clear than any other
has, beautiful. Roossinck provides
a window into the diminutive
architecture of our viruses, their
grandeur, horror, details, and
stories.”
—Rob Dunn, author of The Man
Who Touched His Own Heart
This stunningly illustrated book
provides a rare window into the
amazing, varied, and often beautiful world of viruses. Contrary to
popular belief, not all viruses
are bad for you. In fact, several
are beneficial to their hosts, and
many are crucial to the health of
our planet. Virus offers an unprecedented look at 101 incredible
microbes that infect all branches
of life on Earth—from humans
and other animals to insects,
plants, fungi, and bacteria.

How Men Age
The New Ecology
Pursuing Sustainability
“How Men Age is a wise, thoughtful, and provocative book that
everyone should read—women
and men alike. Bribiescas eloquently explains how and why
men mature and die, drawing on
evolutionary theory, endocrinology, anthropology, genetics, and
more. His insights will change how
you think about human life—
including your own.”
—Daniel E. Lieberman, author
of The Story of the Human Body:
Evolution, Health, and Disease
“Schmitz uses short, fascinating
case studies to explain how a science that once focused solely on
nature has expanded to encompass the global socio-ecological
system in which we humans and

What Evolution Reveals about
Male Health and Mortality
Richard G. Bribiescas
While the health of aging men
has been a focus of biomedical
research for years, evolutionary
biology has not been part of
the conversation—until now.
How Men Age is the first book to
explore how natural selection
has shaped male aging, how
evolutionary theory can inform
our understanding of male health
and well-being, and how older
men may have contributed to
the evolution of some of the very
traits that make us human. Popular science at its most compelling,
How Men Age also explores future
challenges for human evolution
and the important role older men
might play in them.

Essays on Biology and Society
Edited by Jonathan B. Losos
& Richard E. Lenski
It is easy to think of evolution
as something that happened
long ago, or that occurs only in
“nature,” or that is so slow that
its ongoing impact is virtually
nonexistent when viewed from
the perspective of a single human
lifetime. But we now know that
when natural selection is strong,
evolutionary change can be very
rapid. In this book, some of the
world’s leading scientists explore
the implications of this reality
for human life and society. This
volume provides authoritative yet
accessible explorations of why
understanding evolution is crucial
to human life—from dealing with
climate change and ensuring our
food supply, health, and economic
survival to developing a richer
and more accurate comprehension of society, culture, and even
what it means to be human itself.
Combining new essays with
ones revised and updated from
the acclaimed Princeton Guide to
Evolution, this collection addresses
the role of evolution in aging,
cognition, cooperation, religion,
the media, engineering, computer
science, and many other areas.

An Exploration of Avian
Intelligence
Nathan Emery
With a foreword by
Frans de Waal
“Bird Brain is a winner. It is engaging and very well written, and the
illustrations are excellent.”
—Frank Gill, author of Ornithology
Birds have not been known for
their high IQs, which is why a person of questionable intelligence
is sometimes called a “birdbrain.”
Yet in the past two decades, the
study of avian intelligence has
witnessed dramatic advances.
From a time when birds were
seen as simple instinct machines
responding only to stimuli in their
external worlds, we now know
that some birds have complex
internal worlds as well. This beautifully illustrated book provides an
engaging exploration of the avian
mind, revealing how science is
exploding one of the most widespread myths about our feathered
friends—and changing the way
we think about intelligence in
other animals as well.
Written by a leading expert and
featuring a foreword by Frans de
Waal, renowned for his work on
animal intelligence, Bird Brain
shines critical new light on the
mental lives of birds.

How Life on Earth Survived
Eighty Million Years
of Extinctions
Paul B. Wignall
“[An] excellent introduction to the
latest thinking about this key period in Earth’s history. . . . Wignall’s
book is enthralling.”
—Matthew Cobb, New Scientist
Two hundred and sixty million
years ago, life on Earth suffered
wave after wave of cataclysmic
extinctions, with the worst—the
end-Permian extinction—wiping
out nearly every species on the
planet. The Worst of Times delves
into the mystery behind these
extinctions and sheds light on
the fateful role the primeval
supercontinent, known as Pangea,
may have played in causing these
global catastrophes. Wignall
shows how these extinctions all
coincided with gigantic volcanic
eruptions of basalt lavas that
occurred when the world’s landmasses were united into a single
vast expanse.

Mathematics for the
Life Sciences
Erin N. Bodine,
Suzanne Lenhart &
Louis J. Gross
“Textbooks are not always fun,
but this one is. . . . The engaging,
colourful and sharp style of Mathematics for the Life Sciences makes
it a refreshing new entry into the
world of bioscience textbooks.”
—George Pryn Ford, Biologist
The life sciences deal with a vast
array of problems at different spatial, temporal, and organizational
scales. The mathematics necessary
to describe, model, and analyze
these problems is similarly diverse,
incorporating quantitative techniques that are rarely taught in
standard undergraduate courses.
This textbook provides an accessible introduction to these critical
mathematical concepts, linking
them to biological observation
and theory while also presenting
the computational tools needed
to address problems not readily
investigated using mathematics
alone. Proven in the classroom
and requiring only a background
in high school math, Mathematics
for the Life Sciences doesn’t just
focus on calculus as do most other
textbooks on the subject.

“Like patient driving instructors,
Kinder and Nelson guide the
hands of novice programming
students from the get-go, helping

—Garnet Kin-Lic Chan, Princeton
University
Python is a computer programming language that is rapidly
gaining popularity throughout
the sciences. A Student’s Guide to
Python for Physical Modeling aims
to help you, the student, teach
yourself enough of the Python
programming language to get
started with physical modeling.
You will learn how to install an
open-source Python programming environment and use it
to accomplish many common
scientific computing tasks: importing, exporting, and visualizing
data; numerical analysis; and
simulation. No prior programming
experience is assumed
