В книге Марка Курлански скромная треска становится главным персонажем мировой истории. Ради трески европейцы начали пересекать Атлантику — и именно благодаря треске столь дальние плавания стали возможны. Из-за трески велись войны и начинались революции, она служила основой рациона целых народов, от нее зависели экономики разных стран, и колонизация Северной Америки произошла во многом благодаря ей. Автор знакомит читателей с людьми, чья жизнь тесно связана с этой уникальной рыбой, — исследователями, торговцами, писателями, шеф-поварами и, конечно, рыбаками.

Stranded charts Bearzi's discovery of both rapture and resilience in the unsung wildlife of urban LA.

Das Artensterben läuft, doch viele Tiere haben Strategien zum Überleben entdeckt. Ob etwa Quallen, die Atomkraftwerke lahm legen; Krähen, die Fensterdichtungen heraushacken; Elefanten, die sich in Gangsterbanden organisieren; oder Straßenhunde, die mit der U-Bahn zu ihrer Arbeit als Wegelagerer fahren - die Tierwelt schlägt zurück, und manche Menschen fühlen sich bedroht.

Jamie Sayen approaches the story of northern New England's undeveloped forests from the viewpoints of the previously unheard: the forest and the nonhuman species it sustains, the First Peoples, and, in more recent times, the disenfranchised human voices of the forest, including those of loggers, mill workers, and citizens who, like Henry David Thoreau, wish to speak a kind word for nature.

In the tradition of Peter Matthiessen and Stephen Jay Gould, David Rains Wallace links natural history with the imagination for an intensive study of this unique and beautiful ecosystem.
