David Sloan Wilson ist ein führender Evolutionsbiologe, dessen Werk sich mit den komplexen Fragen der menschlichen Natur und Gesellschaft auseinandersetzt.

Sein Ansatz konzentriert sich darauf, zu verstehen, wie die Evolution nicht nur Organismen, sondern auch Kulturen und Institutionen hervorbringt. Wilson bietet eine provokante Perspektive, durch die das evolutionäre Denken zeitgenössische Herausforderungen beleuchten kann.

Gemeinsam mit der Psychologin Kate und dem Polizisten Knight begibt Munro sich auf Spurensuche. Doch die Zeit rennt ihnen davon.

Alternate cover edition of ASIN B0BPVR1JLZReturn to the village of East Puddleduck, Maine. Situated deep in the north woods of the pine tree state, you'll revisit the town's matriarch, Wilomena Farnsworth Miller, known around town affectionately as ‘Ma’, and see what kind of trouble she’s getting herself into now. Ma’s Diner picks up where the author’s previous book, Two Seasons , leaves off and takes you on another humorous ride through the tiny little Maine village. As you pass under Ma's 'unwelcoming' sign, you'll go past Old Marmaduke’s place, beyond the aging town office, right by Ruby Red's Hair Salon across from Smirnoff’s General store, straight past MkIntyre's Used Car Emporium and ultimately arrive at Ma’s Diner. Stop in and take a seat next to the rest of the townsfolks as they tell tales of their adventures while Ma cooks up a good meal, eavesdrops, and chimes in from the kitchen.Once again you'll visit the local annual fair where Ma is sure to serve up some good stuff from her food trailer, 'Ma's Other Diner' while attempting to win herself another ribbon, and not necessarily by means of playing by the contest rules. You'll also bear witness to a wedding, a funeral and take a trip with Ma on her first vacation ever. Join the townsfolk as they make a mess of Groundhog Day, they send Ma up in an antique airplane and yes, Ma will bring back her diner's annual, and deadly, Bucksnort competition once again!And you can be certain, Ma is still as ornery, boisterous, and cantankerous as she ever was. Just be careful when you're in the diner and don't let on that you're from out of town and all should be fine. That is, of course, unless she finds out.

THE PERFECT COMPANION TO PETER MAY'S LEWIS TRILOGY, AND A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY THROUGH THE HEBRIDEAN ISLANDS. The landscape of the Outer Hebrides, with its stark cliffs, ghostly mists and lonely beaches, has become a definitive character of Peter May's Lewis trilogy. In Hebrides, readers will accompany him on an odyssey in prose and images, through a history of the Vikings' 'Long Island' and his own deep personal connection with the islands that influenced his bestselling work.

With extracts from the trilogy and specially commissioned photographs, this book places his writing and characters within the land that gave them form. Couldn't get enough of the Lewis trilogy and its extraordinary setting?
