Bolygónkon nincs olyan hely, ahol ne lenne élet. Éghajlatának szélsőséges és élőhelyeinek szinte végtelen változatossága mindenütt otthont nyújt a növényeknek, az állatoknak és az embernek. Minden tőlünk telhetőt meg kell tennünk azért, hogy megőrizzük a növények és állatok sokféleségét.Egyszerűen nincs erkölcsi felhatalmazásunk örökre elpusztítani a Földön velünk együtt élő teremtményeket. Tartalom: Az ég, A drága édesvíz, A szárazföld peremvidéke, Elsugetelt világok, Az óceán, Új világok.

Delve deeper into the intricate workings of Earth's land-based ecosystems with Dynamics of Terrestrial Ecosystems, the second installment in The Earth's Web series. This volume unravels the complex interactions and processes that shape the balance of life on land, from the water and nutrient cycles to the competition and cooperation that define species relationships.

本书深入探讨了气候变化的严峻现实强调了应对未来干旱饥荒和流离失所问题的紧迫行动它并非止于绝望而是通过实用的解决方案激发希望倡导个人与集体的有力行动在环境挑战中共同打造可持续的未来

Asset manager mega-giants BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard have accumulated unprecedented levels of stock ownership in every major US company. Voting the shares they hold for clients allows these companies to force their own "environmental, social, and governance" or "ESG" agenda on the American corporate sector and, by extension, on all of us.

In Climate Hope, journalist David Geselbracht blends in-depth research, expert interviews, and on-the-ground reporting in multiple countries, revealing remarkable efforts to identify the causes and impacts of climate change—and devise crucial ways to address them. The scale of the challenge is clear in the range of fields he covers, from glaciology and climate science to law and diplomacy. But in drawing these approaches together, he shares stories of hope, awe, and wonder that encourage us to confront this long-term, world-warping phenomenon with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.

Taking us on an awe-inspiring journey through deep history and across the globe, The Genius of Trees restores trees to their rightful position not as victims of our negligence but as ingenious, stunningly inventive agents in a grand ecological narrative. At once transporting and expert, this eye-opening, mind-expanding journey into the inner lives of nature’s most powerful plant is a profoundly new and original way of understanding both the miracles trees perform and the glories of our natural world.

Notre monde est en pleine mutation, le climat change. Des espèces qui ont longtemps existé sur notre planète disparaissent et les ressources se raréfient. Les gens commencent à se rendre compte que le développement n'est pas toujours une bonne chose. Nous exploitons notre Terre, alors que nous devrions en prendre soin, car nous n'en avons qu'une. Lentement, cependant, un changement de mentalité s'opère, les gens essaient de revenir sur les erreurs du passé. On essaie de réduire les émissions de CO₂, de préserver les ressources de la Terre et de prendre davantage soin de la nature.

Throughout history, when threatened by wildfires our only defense was to pray for rain and run—until aircraft changed the way we fight fires. Beginning with the Canadian "H-Boats" in 1924, aircraft have become indispensable in detecting and extinguishing wildfires. Fire Eaters tells the incredible stories of the Ontario Provincial Air Service, the first government aerial fire suppression organization in history; one of its pilots, Carl Crossley, who invented the water scoop-up and drop-off system; and the Canadair CL-215, the first purpose-built water bomber.

Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production.

Britain is defined by the dynamic, mysterious and fragile coastline that surrounds it. In this moving and beautiful account, Roger Morgan-Grenville tells the story of his marathon journey around that coast, explains some of the key challenges and opportunities he found and celebrates the people who are trying to protect and enhance it.

Formerly titled Slaughter the Animals, Poison the Earth. All new foreword by New York Times Bestselling author Steve Jackson. It is the extermination of the coyote—a shrewd, wily, solitary scavenger—that serves as the central theme of Jack Olsen's ragingly indignant, beautifully written and deeply moving book, perhaps the most gripping and important work of its kind since the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.

The world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge. Despite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity's immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours.

Observer l’histoire de l’humanité à partir des forêts, c’est la perspective enthousiasmante que propose le journaliste, conférencier et essayiste Laurent Testot, qui s’inscrit dans le courant assez récent et novateur de l’histoire environnementale. L’auteur retrace l’histoire de l’humanité depuis la constitution des premiers empires de l’antiquité romaine, chinoise et indienne, en passant par les sociétés médiévales et modernes et étudie le rapport que ces sociétés passées ont entretenu avec leur environnement et en particulier leurs forêts.

In Eating the Ocean Elspeth Probyn investigates the profound importance of the ocean and the future of fish and human entanglement. On her ethnographic journey around the world's oceans and fisheries, she finds that the ocean is being simplified in a food politics that is overwhelmingly land based and preoccupied with buzzwords like "local" and "sustainable."

Whether you're aspiring or experienced, mastering water treatment is no small feat. From understanding the complexities of disinfection methods to mastering the intricacies of water chemistry, this guide is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in one of the most crucial roles in public health.

Burn Fuel Better will shed light on some of the unintentional mistakes we are making to address climate change and suggest practical solutions we can make to minimize and possibly reverse the impact — solutions that can be fully implemented today, not 20-30 years in the future, when it will be too late. With an accidental discovery of lowering certain types of emissions from diesel engines, this new way of burning fuel minimizes black carbon from entering the atmosphere and adds life-sustaining oxygen.

Saindo do clichê dos livros teóricos e cheios de conceitos incompreensíveis ao público leigo, Kai-Fu Lee, fundador da Google China e autor do best-seller Inteligência artificial, e Chen Qiufan, um dos grandes nomes do sci-fi, apresentam ao leitor dez contos que mostram de forma divertida concepções que podem se tornar uma realidade até 2041. Ainda que alguns deles pareçam saídos de um filme de ficção científica, outros serão facilmente reconhecidos pelo leitor como parte do seu cotidiano.

Academics, students, and activists from a wide array of disciplines will find A Taste for Change a dialogue worthy of careful consideration and an inspiring call to action.

A Pagan Polemic curates the evolving perspective of Jack Loeffler—itinerant wanderer, environmental warrior, storyteller, and story collector—whose true education began when he was marched into the Nevada desert one day at dawn to play "The Stars and Stripes Forever" during an atomic bomb test a scant few miles away. Since that day in 1957, Jack's mission in life has been to record peoples of the borderlands and to bring "indigenous mindedness" to the forefront of the conversation about our precarious environments and our decaying planet.

Die Klimakrise ist da–und mit ihr vielfältige Auswirkungen auf unsere Gesundheit: Kreislaufprobleme, Dehydrierung, zu hohe UV-Belastung, Hitzewellen, die inzwischen auch in unseren Breiten Tote fordern, Infektionskrankheiten, allergische Reaktionen. Und immer mehr Menschen fühlen sich auch psychisch stark belastet. Was jeder Einzelne von uns dagegen tun kann, wie er körperliche und seelische Widerstandskraft, kurz Klimaresilienz, aufbaut, zeigt die renommierte Wissenschaftsjournalistin und Bestsellerautorin Christina Berndt.
