For fans of The Lost City of Z, Walking the Amazon, and Turn Right at Machu Picchu comes naturalist and explorer Paul Rosolie’s extraordinary adventure in the uncharted tributaries of the Western Amazon—a tale of discovery that vividly captures the awe, beauty, and isolation of this endangered land and presents an impassioned call to save it.

Ranging from prehistory to the 21st century, The Great Sea is above all the history of human interaction across a region that has brought together many of the great civilizations of antiquity as well as the rival empires of medieval and modern times.

Der Welt geht das Wasser aus: Können wir uns retten? Zwei Drittel der Erde sind mit Wasser bedeckt – allerdings nur drei Prozent davon sind Süßwasser. In vielen Regionen der Welt schrumpfen die Bestände rasant. Auch in Deutschland werden wir Wassernot erleben. In diesem Hörbuch begleiten Annika Joeres und Susanne Götze fiktive Protagonisten in eine nahe Zukunft und zeigen damit beispielhaft, wie wir leben können, wenn wir uns rechtzeitig auf die Folgen des Wassermangels einstellen – oder wie wir leiden werden, wenn wir nicht handeln.

Faszinierendes Paralleluniversum: Sophia Kimmig entführt in die Dunkelwelt und öffnet die Augen für die Wunder der Nacht direkt vor unserer Tür. Wenn die Sonne untergegangen ist, wird es bei den Wildtieren erst richtig interessant: Wo tagsüber Menschen auf Busse warten, durchwühlt eine Wildschweinfamilie den Mülleimer an der Haltestelle. Füchse suchen nach Futter, Glühwürmchen senden Blinksignale an potenzielle Partner, Waschbären durchstöbern das Gebüsch. Die Nacht ist nicht nur eine Zeit, sondern ein vielfältiger Lebensraum, über den wir immer noch zu wenig wissen.

Dall'infinitamente grande all'infinitamente piccolo, la natura è un'esplosione di creatività e bellezza. E se per gli "infinitamente" servono attrezzature sofisticate in grado di cogliere macrostrutture e dettagli invisibili, i nostri occhi e una mente capace di lasciarsi meravigliare sono lo strumento più potente per avvicinarci ai mondi incredibili che brulicano di vita attorno a noi, anche sotto lo zerbino di casa.

A follow-up to Ohlson’s previous book, The Soil Will Save Us (Rodale 2014), Sweet in Tooth and Claw extends the concept of cooperation in nature to the life-affirming connections among microbes, plants, fungi, insects, birds, and animals—including humans—in ecosystems around the globe.

Desde hace unos años se suceden episodios de muerte súbita y generalizada de árboles en bosques de todo el mundo. En muchos casos el cambio climático y las sequías desempeñan un papel importante, pero no son la única causa, ya que se combina con la historia de la explotación humana y con la proliferación de plagas y de incendios cada vez más virulentos. El profesor Francisco Lloret recorre algunos de los bosques más importantes de Norteamérica, Patagonia, Europa y África para mostrarnos, con luminosa claridad y rigor, los procesos que están provocando su colapso.

Crateri infuocati e foreste incontaminate, isole perdute e popoli primitivi, fiumi e scogli leggendari, ghiacciai, savane e deserti sconfinati, paradisi nascosti. E poi, animali preistorici, leoni e coccodrilli, orsi e serpenti. I racconti di Walter Bonatti ci riportano al suo fianco, nei suoi fantastici viaggi ai confini della Terra. Le sue sembrano cronache di un altro secolo e di un altro mondo... e lo sono.

Oggi le montagne d'Italia e del mondo - le Dolomiti e il Monte Bianco, l'Everest e il K2, il Kilimanjaro e il Gran Sasso - sono soprattutto spazi di divertimento e avventura. Ma i sentieri, le pareti di roccia e di ghiaccio, le piste da sci e le vette sono solo una parte del quadro. Per millenni, in ogni angolo della terra, le montagne sono state territori di duro lavoro quotidiano, fonte di paura e luoghi eletti a culto, scenario di sfide che hanno messo alla prova le umane possibilità, oltre che teatro di guerra.

In The Sea Forager's Guide to the Northern California Coast, Kirk Lombard combines a startling depth of knowledge with wry humor and colorful storytelling to guide listeners' quests to hook fish, dig clams, and pick seaweed for themselves. Leighton Kelly's stunning, occasionally idiosyncratic illustrations complement practical instructions for gathering a variety of fish and seafood and delicious recipes for what to do with each catch.

En 2017, l'association Sea Shepherd fondée par le capitaine Paul Watson fête ses quarante ans. Quarante ans de lutte sans relâche pour la préservation des océans. Quarante ans sur la ligne de front. Une tête mise à prix par la mafia taïwanaise, son nom placé sur la notice Rouge d'Interpol suite aux mandats d'arrêt lancés par le Costa Rica et le Japon, une arrestation en Allemagne qu'il quitte en catimini les cheveux teints et une chemise hawaïenne sur le torse.

Marine algae are the supreme eco-engineers of life: they oxygenate the waters, create habitat for countless other organisms, and form the base of a food chain that keeps our planet unique in the universe as we know it. In this audiobook Josie Iselin explores both the artistic and the biological presence of 16 seaweeds and kelps that live in the thin region where the Pacific Ocean converges with the North American continent - a place of incomparable richness.

Elaine Sciolino came to Paris as a young foreign correspondent and was seduced by a river. In The Seine, she tells the story of that river from its source on a remote plateau of Burgundy to the wide estuary where its waters meet the sea, and the cities, tributaries, islands, ports, and bridges in between.

Lighthouses are striking totems of our relationship to the sea. For many, they encapsulate a romantic vision of solitary homes amongst the waves, but their original purpose is much more utilitarian than that. Still today we depend upon their guiding lights for the safe passage of ships. Nowhere is this truer than in the rock lighthouses of Great Britain and Ireland, a ring of 19 towers built between 1811-1905, so called because they were constructed on desolate rock formations in the middle of the sea, and made of granite to withstand the power of its waves.

On her 120-acre homestead high in the Colorado Rockies, beloved writer Pam Houston learns what it means to care for a piece of land and the creatures on it. Elk calves and bluebirds mark the changing seasons, winter temperatures drop to 35 below, and lightning sparks a 110,000-acre wildfire, threatening her century-old barn and all its inhabitants. Through her travels from the Gulf of Mexico to Alaska, she explores what ties her to the Earth, the ranch most of all.

Bees are like oxygen: ubiquitous, essential, and, for the most part, unseen. While we might overlook them, they lie at the heart of relationships that bind the human and natural worlds. In Buzz, the beloved Thor Hanson takes us on a journey that begins 125 million years ago, when a wasp first dared to feed pollen to its young. From honeybees and bumbles to lesser-known diggers, miners, leafcutters, and masons, bees have long been central to our harvests, our mythologies, and our very existence. They've given us sweetness and light, the beauty of flowers, and as much as a third of the foodstuffs we eat. And, alarmingly, they are at risk of disappearing.

Beavers, those icons of industriousness, have been gnawing down trees, building dams, shaping the land, and creating critical habitat in North America for at least a million years. Once one of the continent's most ubiquitous mammals, they ranged from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Rio Grande to the edge of the northern tundra. Wherever there was wood and water, there were beavers - 60 million (or more) - and wherever there were beavers, there were intricate natural communities that depended on their activities.

How can you truly belong to a place? What does being at home mean in a society that has always celebrated the search for greener pastures? And can a newcomer ever acquire the deep understanding of the land that comes from being part of a culture that has lived there for centuries? When Daniel Coleman came to Hamilton to take a position at McMaster University, he began to ask himself these kinds of questions, and Yardwork: A Biography of an Urban Place is his answer.

Well-known nature and conservation writer Ted Williams is an avid fisherman who has devoted many years to writing about the sport and advocating the preservation of bodies of water and species of fish.

Gilles Fonteneau, a longtime colleague of the legendary Jacques Cousteau's Calypso team, fulfilled a lifelong dream when in 2001 he launched his own exploration, aboard the 45-foot catamaran Prince de Vendee, into the silent world of the sea. Little did he know when he set out that his efforts to better understand the dynamics of the tectonic plates of the region would have such worldwide significance, as shown by the tsunami disaster of southeast Asia in December 2004.
