Du paléolithique à nos jours, Sapiens s'est trouvé confronté à des événements naturels souvent rapides, brutaux et de grande ampleur. Pour le pire et pour le meilleur.

L'11 marzo 2011, un potentissimo tsunami si abbatté sulle coste del Giappone, provocando la morte di quasi sedicimila persone. A Fukushima, in quello che divenne il più devastante incidente industriale di tutti i tempi, centinaia di uomini e donne rimasero da solia fronteggiare il surriscaldamento incontrollato dei reattori, con il destino dell'intero Paese appeso a un filo. In pochi sanno cosa è successo davvero in quei giorni, e ancora meno sanno perché è successo. Come è stato possibile che uno stato così all'avanguardia nella tecnologia si facesse trovare impreparato?

Potito Ruggero ha tredici anni.

Per tre ore è rimasto seduto davanti alla finestra del Sindaco, con un cartello su cui c'era scritto: I keep an eye on you, Io vi tengo d'occhio.

Reflecting on family, identity and nature, Belonging is a personal memoir about what it is to have and make a home. It is a love letter to nature, especially the northern landscapes of Scotland and the Scots pinewoods of Abernethy—home to standing dead trees known as snags, which support the overall health of the forest. Belonging is a book about how we are held in thrall to elements of our past. It speaks to the importance of attention and reflection, and will encourage us all to look and observe and ask questions of ourselves.

"Lively writing about science and nature depends less on the offering of good answers, I think, than on the offering of good questions," said David Quammen in the original introduction to Natural Acts. For more than two decades, he has stuck to that credo. In this updated version of Natural Acts, curiosity leads him from New Mexico to Romania, from the Congo to the Amazon, asking questions about mosquitoes (what are their redeeming merits?), dinosaurs (how did they change the life of a dyslexic Vietnam vet?), and cloning (can it save endangered species?).

One of the most ubiquitous indicators of human activity, roads typically promise development and prosperity. Yet they carry with them the threat of disruption to both human and animal lives. Jones surveys the myriad, innovative ways stakeholders across the world have sought to reduce animal-vehicle collisions and minimize road-crossing risks for wildlife, including efforts undertaken at the famed fauna overpasses of Banff National Park, the Singapore Eco-Link, "tunnels of love" in the Australian Alps, and others.
