"Bulletin of Atomic Scientists: "Unique as we may think we are, it seems
likely that we are genetically programmed to a natural habitat of clean air
and a varied green landscape ... For centuries in the temperate zones we
have tried to imitate in our houses not only the climate, but the setting of
our evolutionary past: warm, humid air, green plants and even animal
companions."

"The adult brain is also bound by conceptual limits for space and time.
There has been a problem in science to understand the principle of action at
a distance. It is assumed that two objects must be close together or
connected in some obvious way before the two can interact. Alternative
approaches are cumbersome and apparently insoluble. One can imagine the
astronomer's first impression when his data suggested that opposite sides of
a quasar, tens of light years apart, were responding in a similar manner.
Despite immense distance and with no apparent connection, simultaneous
reactions were taking place faster than even the speed of light could
accommodate."

"Katzen haben von jeher einen tiefen Eindruck auf die Menschen gemacht.
Es gab Zeiten, in denen Katzen vergöttert und verehrt wurden, und wieder
andere, in denen man sie als Überbringer allen Übels gnadenlos verfolgte.
Wenn wir heutzutage diesen Tieren auch objektiver gegenüberstehen, eine
gewisse Faszination ist geblieben. Mythen und Legenden ranken sich um die
Katze, und bereits seit Jahrtausenden spielt sie eine bedeutende Rolle in
der bildenden Kunst, in Malerei und Dichtung.
Die große Familie der Katzen lernt der Leser kennen."

"The drumming noise made by the rapid blows of a woodpecker's beak on a tree
trunk is on of the most characteristic sounds of the forest. The birds do
not produce it solely when they are feeding or excavating a net. They beat
tattoos on resonating timber for the same reason that other birds sing, to
declare possession of a territory and to attract a mate. Each species has
its own length of drum roll with its own characteristic interval between one
burst and the next."
