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.

À l’heure des mutations écologiques, de la remise en cause des idéaux de progrès continu et d’abondance, de la défiance à l’égard du savoir scientifique, la célèbre question tripartite d’Emmanuel Kant (Que puis-je savoir ? Que dois-je faire ? Que m’est-il permis d’espérer ?) semble recouvrer sa vertigineuse pertinence. Une question que le philosophe et sociologue des sciences Bruno Latour - en compagnie de Nicolas Truong - reprend en quelque sorte à son compte.

Annie Worsley is a Professor of Environmental Change. A few years ago, she took the plunge and moved to the remote North West Highlands of Scotland. It is a land of unquenchable spirit and severe wildness. In the Highlands, life is ruled by the great elemental forces – light, wind and water hold sway over how land forms, where the sea sits, and what grows. It also dictates how its people live. Annie returns to prehistory to tell the epic story of the Scotland Highlands.

Der Wald ist so viel mehr als Bäume! In ihrem ersten gemeinsamen Werk, das umfassend wie nie in die Geheimnisse des Waldes einführt, vereinen Deutschlands berühmtester Förster Peter Wohlleben und der renommierte Biologe Pierre L. Ibisch ihre herausragende Expertise und die neuesten Erkenntnisse der internationalen Wissenschaft. Sie bringen Licht ins Dickicht eines hoch komplexen Ökosystems. Anhand faszinierender Beispiele aus der Natur zeigen sie das ungeahnte Zusammenspiel der Pflanzen, Tiere, Mikroben, Viren, Pilze auf – eine Welt, in der kein Element ohne das andere existieren kann.

The world is changing at a relentless pace. How can we slow down and act from a place of respect for all living things? The Sacred Balance shows us how.

In The Last Empty Places, bestselling author Peter Stark takes the listener to four of the most remote, wild, and unpopulated areas of the United States outside of Alaska, and mainly not part of protected wilderness: the rivers and forests of Northern Maine; the rugged, unpopulated region of Western Pennsylvania, that lies only a short distance from the East's big cities; the haunting canyons of Central New Mexico; and the vast, arid basins of Southeast Oregon.

Mehr Wildnis wagen - für ein vollkommen neues Verhältnis zur Natur. "Rewilding" ist die Antwort auf die Klimakrise. Es bedeutet: Kontrolle abgeben und die Natur sich selbst überlassen. In der Folge entstehen intakte Ökosysteme, die nicht nur Tieren und Pflanzen neue Lebensräume bieten, sondern auch für saubere Luft, sauberes Wasser und fruchtbare Böden sorgen. Die Kohlendioxid binden und vor Hochwasser und anderen Klimaextremen schützen. Simone Böcker verbreitet die positive Botschaft: Das Artensterben ist nicht nur aufzuhalten, es kann umgekehrt werden.

The seafood industry on the coast of Mississippi has attracted waves of immigrants and other workers, oftentimes folks who were either already acquainted with maritime livelihoods or those who quickly adapted to the resources of the region. For generations, the industry has provided employment and sustenance to Coast peoples.

When Chris Dombrowski burst onto the literary scene with Body of Water, the book was acclaimed as “a classic” (Jim Harrison) and its author compared with John McPhee. Dombrowski begins the highly anticipated The River You Touch with a question as timely as it is profound: “What does a meaningful, mindful, sustainable inhabitance on this small planet look like in the anthropocene?”

The scenario we are facing is scary: within a few decades, sea levels around the world may well rise by a meter or more as glaciers and ice caps melt due to climate change. Large parts of our coastal cities will be flooded, the basic outline of our world will be changed, and torrential rains will present their own challenges. But this is not the first time that people have had to cope with threatening waters, because sea levels have been rising for thousands of years, ever since the end of the last Ice Age.

The enormity of climate change and biodiversity loss can leave us feeling overwhelmed. How can an individual ever make a difference? Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell know firsthand how spectacularly nature can bounce back if you give it the chance. And what comes is not just wildlife in super-abundance, but solutions to the other environmental crises we face. The Book of Wilding is a handbook for how we can all help restore nature.

Simone Moro racconta l’eroica spedizione sull'Annapurna del 1997 che purtroppo ebbe un epilogo tragico: i due suoi compagni di cordata persero la vita travolti da una valanga di dimensioni enormi, il ghiaccio e le rocce che li investirono non lasciarono loro scampo. Diversa fu la sorte di Simone: sopravvisse miracolosamente a un volo di 800 metri e in modo quasi soprannaturale rimase praticamente illeso. Cometa sull’Annapurna è la cronaca di quei lontani giorni vissuti al limite della sopravvivenza, e della sua amicizia con Anatoli Boukreev, il grande alpinista russo morto sull’Annapurna.

We do not see the ocean when we look at the water that blankets more than two thirds of our planet. We only see the entrance to it. Beyond that entrance is a world hostile to humans, yet critical to our survival. The first divers to enter that world held their breath and splashed beneath the surface, often clutching rocks to pull them down. Over centuries, they invented wooden diving bells, clumsy diving suits, and unwieldy contraptions in attempts to go deeper and stay longer.
