| slowest land animal: Fast Slow William Brown, AI, 2025-03-06 Fast Slow explores the captivating science of motion, revealing the physics behind the diverse speeds of animals, vehicles, and humans. It examines how everything moves, from the leisurely pace of a snail to the breakneck velocity of a jet plane. Interestingly, the book highlights how aerodynamic design significantly impacts vehicle performance, while evolutionary adaptations allow animals to achieve remarkable feats of locomotion. The book progresses from fundamental concepts like velocity and acceleration to more complex topics such as animal locomotion, vehicle engineering, and human movement. It demonstrates how factors like mass, friction, and energy expenditure govern speed. Readers will discover how understanding these principles can lead to innovations in transportation and improvements in athletic performance. Fast Slow uniquely integrates scientific principles with real-world examples, making complex ideas accessible to a broad audience interested in science and physics. By bridging historical context with current research, the book provides a valuable framework for appreciating the mechanics of motion and its applications across various disciplines. |

| slowest land animal: Principles of Animal Locomotion R. McNeill Alexander, 2013-10-31 How can geckoes walk on the ceiling and basilisk lizards run over water? What are the aerodynamic effects that enable small insects to fly? What are the relative merits of squids' jet-propelled swimming and fishes' tail-powered swimming? Why do horses change gait as they increase speed? What determines our own vertical leap? Recent technical advances have greatly increased researchers' ability to answer these questions with certainty and in detail. This text provides an up-to-date overview of how animals run, walk, jump, crawl, swim, soar, hover, and fly. Excluding only the tiny creatures that use cilia, it covers all animals that power their movements with muscle--from roundworms to whales, clams to elephants, and gnats to albatrosses. The introduction sets out the general rules governing all modes of animal locomotion and considers the performance criteria--such as speed, endurance, and economy--that have shaped their selection. It introduces energetics and optimality as basic principles. The text then tackles each of the major modes by which animals move on land, in water, and through air. It explains the mechanisms involved and the physical and biological forces shaping those mechanisms, paying particular attention to energy costs. Focusing on general principles but extensively discussing a wide variety of individual cases, this is a superb synthesis of current knowledge about animal locomotion. It will be enormously useful to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and a range of professional biologists, physicists, and engineers. |

| slowest land animal: Striking before disasters do – Promoting phased Anticipatory Action for slow-onset hazards Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2022-09-27 Hazards may occur suddenly (sudden-onset) or develop over time (slow-onset) and threaten people’s lives and livelihoods and all the pillars of sustainable development. Since 2016, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has supported extensive country-level work on Anticipatory Action for several slow-onset hazards such as drought, cold waves, pests and diseases, Rift Valley fever and the secondary consequences of COVID-19. This paper summarizes FAO's conceptual and programmatic approach for anticipating and mitigating the impact of slow-onset hazards on the most vulnerable people depending on agriculture for their livelihoods and food security. Drawing on FAO’s experiences in implementing Anticipatory Action and the technical expertise built over decades, it recommends a phased approach to Anticipatory Action for slow-onset hazards as it reduces uncertainties associated with early warning information, improves the targeting of Anticipatory Action interventions and helps adapt the selection of Anticipatory Action options to the evolving hazard context. |

| slowest land animal: Slow Food Valeria Siniscalchi, 2023-06-29 Written by one of the leading experts on food activism, this is the only independent, full-length study of the Slow Food movement. Slow Food is a grassroots organisation that embraces a slow way of life, linking the love of food with community and environmental support.

| slowest land animal: Low and Slow Neil Rankin, 2016-05-05 No kitchen dramas or barbecue fails ever again. Just perfectly cooked meat. OFM award-winner Neil Rankin knows how to cook meat. In this book he explains how he does it, using the foolproof methods he has honed to perfection and relies on in the kitchens of Temper in London. If you have ever cooked a steak medium-well instead of medium-rare, a chicken that ends up dry, a stew that's tough or stringy or a rack of ribs that fall too much off the bone then this book will make your life that little bit better. Neil Rankin 'You've cost me a bloody fortune. Steak on four nights...Perfect every time. My boys - steak mad - are so happy.' Diana Henry 'Simply put: Rankin's book will make you 100% more brilliant behind the stove.' Grace Dent 'The first time I ate Neil's food, I was blown away' Tom Kerridge 'Fire-cooking is unavoidably tactile 'real' cooking and Neil is one of the heroes leading the charge. He eschews sterility and embraces flame.' Adam Perry Lang 'Meat hates to be overcooked, says Neil, so low and slow is the way to go which obviates brining, resting, letting joints come to room temperature and other shibboleths learned at our mothers' knee. There is a great deal useful and inspiring to be absorbed here from a battle-scarred Scotsman in a trucker's cap... and tongs as an extension of his fingers.' Fay Maschler 'Without any doubts the best meat/bbq book I've read! Everything about it is just spot on.' @artisanbaker 'The book is fantastic.
