Siamo abituati a pensare che le foreste siano statiche, che stiano lì, immobili, da sempre. Ma non è così. Semplicemente vivono, e cambiano, a un ritmo più lento del nostro. C'è, tuttavia, un momento in cui abbiamo la possibilità di apprezzarne il cambiamento, e, ironia della sorte, è proprio quando vi si abbatte una calamità o, come si dice in ecologia, un "disturbo". Che sia un incendio, un'alluvione, un'eruzione, ciò che segue non è l'estinzione totale. Al contrario.

Det brukar sägas att människan vet mer om rymden än om haven. Inte för att förolämpa Stephen Hawking och hans vänner, men eftersom vi inte vet rymdens exakta storlek går påståendet inte att bevisa. Det baseras främst på att vi skickat 12 människor till månen sedan 1969, jämfört med bara 3 till havets djupaste punkt, Marianergraven. Enligt NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the US), täcker haven 71 procent av jordklotets yta och innehåller 97 procent av jordklotets vatten.

Lothar Streblow unternahm viele Reisen im In- und Ausland, auf denen er sich mit Studien über Tiere, Verhaltensforschung und Ökologie befasste. Von diesen Erkenntnissen inspiriert, entstanden zahlreiche Radiosendungen, Hörspiele und Essays, sowie Umwelt-, Reise- und Tiererzählungen. Dabei versuchte er stets dem sachkundlichen Anspruch gerecht zu werden. In "Geister in der Nacht - Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald" begibt er sich auf die Spuren der Tier- und Pflanzenwelt im Bayerischen Wald.

Der Buchfink stimmt seinen wohlklingenden Gesang an, in der Ferne ruft ein Waldkauz, eingebettet von hohen Bäumen ruht ein Waldweiher...

Der neue Hörbuch-Spaziergang mit dem Lieblingsförster der Deutschen: verblüffende Phänomene und spannende Zusammenhänge.

Menschliche Reaktionen auf chemische Botenstoffe der Bäume: Unser Blutdruck ändert sich nachweislich, wenn wir im Wald sind.

For three years, Jennifer Ackerman lived in the small coastal town of Lewes, Delaware, in the sort of blue-water, white-sand landscape that draws summer crowds up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Birds by the Shore is a book about discovering the natural life at the ocean's edge: the habits of shorebirds and seabirds, the movement of sand and water, the wealth of creatures that survive amid storm and surf. Against this landscape's rhythms, Ackerman revisits her own history - her mother's death, her father's illness, and her hopes to have children of her own.

Yet their efforts eventually gave way to scientists who built lonely encampments out on the ice and began drilling - one mile, two miles down.Their aim was to pull up ice cores that could reveal the deepest mysteries of earth’s past.
