Smokescreen cuts through years of misunderstanding and misdirection to make an impassioned, evidence-based argument for a new era of forest management for the sake of the planet and the human race. Scientist and activist Chad T. Hanson explains how natural alarm over wildfire has been marshaled to advance corporate and political agendas, notably those of the logging industry. He also shows that, in contrast to the fear-driven narrative, contemporary research has demonstrated that forests in the US, North America, and around the world have a significant deficit of fire.

Life histories can be defined as the means by which individuals (or more precisely genotypes) vary their age- or stage-specific expenditures of reproductive effort in response to genetic, phenotypic, and environmental correlates of survival and fecundity. Life histories reflect the expression of traits most closely related to individual fitness, such as age and size at maturity, number and size of offspring, and the timing of the expression of those traits throughout an individual's life. Life-history research plays an integral role in species conservation and management.

Bright Green Lies exposes the hypocrisy and bankruptcy of leading environmental groups and their most prominent cheerleaders. The best-known environmentalists are not in the business of speaking truth, or even holding up rational solutions to blunt the impending ecocide, but instead indulge in a mendacious and self-serving delusion that provides comfort at the expense of reality. They fail to state the obvious: We cannot continue to wallow in hedonistic consumption and industrial expansion and survive as a species.

In this collection of essays from 2016-2021, the author explores a variety of themes, including the environment, war, agriculture, settler colonialism, racism, patriarchy, media criticism, "green energy", collapse, and the nature of civilization itself. Stylistically, the selections vary from reporting to analysis to personal storytelling. They previously appeared on Counterpunch, Resilience, Green Social Thought, and other online venues, but this is their first time in an audiobook .

For many people, ecosystems may be a remote concept, yet we eat, drink, breathe and interface with them in every moment of our lives. In this engaging textbook, ecosystems scientist Dr. Mark Everard considers a diversity of "everyday things", including fascinating facts about their ecological origins: from the tea we drink, to the things we wear, read, and enjoy, to the ecology of communities and space flight, and the important roles played by germs and "unappealing creatures" such as slugs and wasps.

This book, 50 Things to Know About Bugs in Texas, by Megan Deeter, offers an approach to better understanding the microworld through the eyes of Texas’s smaller critters - the insects! Most books on insect biology will focus on very generalized regions, such as the entirety of the southwest rather than specific states. Although there's nothing wrong with that, this book pays close attention to the insects found in the geographically diverse Lonestar State.

Nell'agosto 2018 la quindicenne svedese Greta Thunberg decise di scioperare dalla scuola per richiamare l'attenzione sul mancato rispetto dell'Accordo di Parigi sul clima. Da allora ogni venerdì si mette davanti al Parlamento a Stoccolma, o in altre piazze del mondo, con un cartellone scritto da lei su cui si legge "Skolstrejk för Klimatet" (Sciopero dalla scuola per il clima). Quello slogan, quel gesto hanno ispirato migliaia di giovani e sono diventati un fenomeno globale.

Dans ce reportage glaçant, le journaliste Geoffrey Le Guilcher partage et raconte le quotidien des ouvriers : les giclées de sang dans les yeux, les doigts qui se bloquent et les défonces nocturnes.

Il mare: culla della vita, meraviglia della natura capace di dividere come di unire. Da sempre i poeti ne cantano lo splendore e la forza, e popoli interi l'hanno solcato nel corso dei millenni. Ancora oggi offre cibo, lavoro ed energia a metà della popolazione mondiale. Abbiamo chiamato Terra il nostro pianeta, eppure il 71 per cento della sua superficie è ricoperto da distese d'acqua, che nelle loro profondità ospitano l'80 per cento delle specie viventi; esse regolano il clima, producono il 50 per cento dell'ossigeno che respiriamo e assorbono un terzo dell'anidride carbonica prodotta dall'uomo.
