Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Cheats and Deceits, Martin Stevens describes the remarkable range of adaptations in nature, and considers how they have evolved and increasingly been perfected as part of an arms race between predator and prey or host and parasite. He explores both classic and recent research of naturalists and biologists, showing how scientists find ways of testing the impact of particular behaviors and colorings on the animals it is meant to fool. Drawing on a wide range of examples, Stevens considers what deception tells us about the process of evolution and adaptation.-- |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
El sector de comida preparada cobija distintas formas de producción que satisfacen las necesidades alimentarias de cualquier grupo social que ambula por la gran capital del país. En este eslabón de la cadena alimentaria hay empresas cuya actividad sirve para generar, apropiar y acumular capital y otras que obtienen un excedente monetario que alcanza sólo para subsistir. Incluso en algunos casos prevalece una simbiosis en la dinámica misma de la organización productiva de las empresas, donde elementos del sector "tradicional" o de subsistencia se traslapan con elementos capitalistas. |
