Scorpions of Southern Africa
Scorpions of Southern Africa, the go-to guide for identifying southern Africa’s rich scorpion fauna, has now been freshly designed, updated and expanded. It includes 12additional species, new images and distribution maps, and a chapter on how to go about identifying scorpions. An invaluable guide for the amateur naturalist and professional alike, this accessible book describes: scorpion anatomy and behavior; the strategies that enable scorpions to survive harsh conditions; their use of venom and other aspects of their successful existence over millions of years. A fascinating introduction to the biology and behaviour of scorpions; a photograph and distribution map for each species; concise information to enable identification; debunks myths and legends about these little-known and misunderstood creatures.
Frogs and Frogging in Southern Africa
Southern Africa has almost 130 frog species that occur throughout the region. The first part of this guide is divided into chapters according to the five basic southern African biomes - savanna, grassland, forest, fynbos and desert. Frogs that are commonly found in these habitats are listed and examples of interesting adaptations and behaviour are discussed. The evolution of frogs is explained, how to find, photograph and record them, myths and medicinal uses, and a wealth of other fascinating details. The second part of the guide is a field guide that describes the Southern African frog species in detail, along with distribution maps and colourful photographs. With a few exceptions, frogs are nocturnal or crepuscular animals and can best be found by tracking their calls after dark. To assist in this process as well as in identifying species, a CD is included that features 56 frog calls.
Failures of Agency
Failures of Agency: Irrational Behavior and Self-Understanding asks, how does the phenomenon of "going against your own judgment" relate to the idea that we are rational beings? Annemarie Kalis argues that certain widespread philosophical accounts of free action must conclude that "going against your own judgment" is necessarily unfree, with wide implications for moral responsibility. Kalis offers insight on whether everyday irrational behavior differs from irrational behavior occurring in the context of psychiatric dysfunction and develops a view on how we should understand ourselves when we do something other than what we judge best.
