Interviews with researchers in the field offer additional insights for readers and aspiring scientists.Queer behavior in animals is as diverse and complex--and as natural--as it is in our own species.

      What happens when a science geek and magic collide? Be careful what you wish for. Really. Because wishes are bad. Very bad. They can get you trapped in fantasy worlds full of killer bunny rabbits, evil aunts, and bothersome bacteria, for example. Or at least that's Ralph's experience. He's been asked to spend the summer with his strange British relatives at their old manor house in order to set up their Wi-Fi network. But there's much more to it than that, of course. It's just that nobody told Ralph. He's a gamer, sure. But this game is much stranger--and funnier--than anything to be found on his xbox. He is a geek. This is his story.

      Zwei junge Männer. Ein Raumschiff. Eine Mission, die alles verändern wird. Als Ambrose ohne jede Erinnerung an den Start an Bord der Coordinated Endeavor erwacht, ist schnell klar, dass etwas nicht stimmt. Fremde Spuren ziehen sich durch das Schiff, das Bordsystem spricht mit der Stimme seiner Mutter – und sein verschlossener Mitreisender Kodiak, ausgerechnet sein größter Feind, verweigert jeden Kontakt. Doch Aufgeben ist keine Option. Ambrose muss seine Schwester retten. Um die Wahrheit hinter den Geheimnissen des Schiffs aufzudecken und die Mission zu erfüllen, bleibt ihm nur eine Wahl: Er muss ausgerechnet Kodiak vertrauen. Je mehr sie über ihre Lage herausfinden, desto deutlicher wird, dass sie nur gemeinsam eine Chance haben – und dass zwischen ihnen längst mehr entstanden ist als eine Zweckgemeinschaft. Doch ist das ihre größte Stärke – oder ihr größtes Risiko?
