Un diptyque essentiel pour comprendre le monde d'aujourd'hui et de demain. "Dans Où atterrir ?" Comment s'orienter en politique, l'hypothèse est qu'on ne comprend rien aux positions politiques si l'on ne donne pas une place centrale à la question du climat et à sa dénégation. Tout se passe comme si une partie importante des classes dirigeantes était arrivée à la conclusion qu'il n'y aurait plus assez de place sur terre pour elles et pour le reste de ses habitants.

It dawned on me one day that most of the scare stories in the media today are based on things that are either invisible, like CO2 and radiation, or very remote, like polar bears and coral reefs. Thus, the average person cannot observe and verify the truth of these claims for themselves. They must rely on activists, the media, politicians, and scientists - all of whom have a huge financial and/or political interest in the subject - to tell them the truth.

Father Kaleeg Hainsworth, an Eastern Orthodox priest with a lifetime of experience in the Canadian wilderness, grounds this manifesto in the literary, philosophical, mystical, and historical teachings of the spiritual masters of both East and West, outlining the human experience of the sacred in nature.The spiritual ecology described here is fully engaged with the wilderness beyond our backyards; it is an ecology which takes in nature as red in tooth and claw and offers a way forward in the face of accelerating climate change.

Seit Jahrzehnten steigende Temperaturen sind eine unabweisbare Tatsache: Der Klimawandel kommt nicht - wir sind bereits mittendrin. Bernhard Kegel geht in seinem Hörbuch der Frage nach, wie sich unsere Umwelt in den nächsten Jahren verändern wird. Welche Migration von Flora und Fauna wird es geben - und was bedeutet dies für unser Leben? Was passiert, wenn natürliche Zyklen kollabieren, wenn etwa Fische schlüpfen, weil die Wassertemperatur ansteigt, aber kein Futter vorhanden ist, weil sich Phytoplankton erst vermehrt, wenn die Tage länger werden?

This is a memoir of a woman who took solo journeys to conduct an explorative, observational research study in India with elephants, horses, goats, and dogs using specific Animal Energy Therapy techniques such as sound, touch and smell. In her story telling style, the author speaks about several individual animals that she worked with and closely observed during a length of time. Her interests lie in the integration of Animal Energy Therapy and the affects of individualized therapy for each, with regards to behavioral anxieties and traumas.

Somos um país urbano: 84% da população brasileira concentra-se em cidades e ao menos metade vive em municípios com mais de 100 mil habitantes. Mas a vida urbana não traz apenas novas oportunidades. Ela propicia doenças provocadas por falta de saneamento, picadas de mosquitos, poluição, violência, ritmo frenético... E tudo isso não ocorre mais apenas nas grandes cidades, mas também nas médias e mesmo pequenas, quase sempre negligenciadas pelo poder público e pelos próprios cidadãos.

Exister, pour une société humaine, ne signifie-t-il pas modifier son environnement ? Aménager, transformer, laisser des traces ? Le rapport de l'humanité à la nature est l'objet de dynamiques immémoriales de conquêtes et de frugalité, mais la prise de conscience de la fragilité du vivant auquel l'humanité appartient, et qui accompagne l'apparition de l'écologie comme objet de réflexion et d'étude, est très récente.

En 2017, l'association Sea Shepherd fondée par le capitaine Paul Watson fête ses quarante ans. Quarante ans de lutte sans relâche pour la préservation des océans. Quarante ans sur la ligne de front. Une tête mise à prix par la mafia taïwanaise, son nom placé sur la notice Rouge d'Interpol suite aux mandats d'arrêt lancés par le Costa Rica et le Japon, une arrestation en Allemagne qu'il quitte en catimini les cheveux teints et une chemise hawaïenne sur le torse.

For the Birds offers listeners a glimpse behind the binoculars and reveals birders to be important allies in the larger environmental conservation movement. With a wealth of data from in-depth interviews and over three years of observing birders in the field, environmental sociologist Elizabeth Cherry argues that birders learn to watch wildlife in ways that make an invaluable contribution to contemporary conservation efforts. She investigates how birders develop a “naturalist gaze” that enables them to understand the shared ecosystem that intertwines humans and wild animals.

Un lobo marsupial extinto es un fantasma. Una tortuga es un espíritu antiguo que se pasea por una isla en el fin del mundo. Un oso polar disecado es la modesta prueba de una inmensa derrota. Ya sean las aguas microscópicas en las que habita el resistente tardígrado, la ardiente imaginación de la que proviene el imposible lebrílope o la reserva de Woodside, California, donde la gorila Koko aprendió lenguaje de señas, cada ecosistema se presenta como un lugar de descubrimiento, de comunión.

Et si on arrêtait de se voiler la face ? On ne sauvera pas le monde avec des pailles en bambou, du café équitable ou des sprays au vinaigre. À force d'en entendre parler, on croirait presque à une transition écologique... Pourtant, ce n'est pas en remplaçant la consommation classique par des achats "responsables" que l'on va stopper les catastrophes en cours ! Depuis des décennies, l'écologie produit des discours tièdes, habilement récupérés par le capitalisme.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was an American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, surveyor, and historian. The essay "Wild Apples" first appeared in the Atlantic Monthly in 1862. It begins with a history of the apple tree, chronicling its journey from Ancient Greece to America. The author compares the history of the apple to that of mankind, contemplating it with a tragic eye. He considered the idea of wildness not as sinful, but the source of creativity.

"Nous savons que l'Humanité fait face au plus grand défi de son histoire. Nous savons que les écosystèmes dont nous dépendons menacent de s'écrouler. Nous savons qu'il y a urgence. Le doute n'est plus d'actualité. Chaque jour, au coin de la rue ou à l'autre bout de la planète, un nouveau front s'ouvre. Partout, des femmes et des hommes ont décidé de se lever pour sauver ce qui peut encore l'être, ou pour poser les bases d'un nouveau monde."

North America’s Galapagos: The Historic Channel Islands Biological Survey recounts the story of a group of researchers, naturalists, adventurers, cooks, immigrants, and scientifically curious teenagers who came together in the late 1930s to embark upon a series of ambitious expeditions never before, or since, attempted. Their mission: to piece together the broken shards of the Channel Islands’ history and evolution.

Cultivated from the fierce ideas seeded in Blood Orchid, Blues for Cannibals is an elegiac reflection on death, pain, and a wavering confidence in humanity’s own abilities for self-preservation. After years of reporting on border violence, sex crimes, and the devastation of the land, Bowden struggles to make sense of the many ways in which we destroy ourselves and whether there is any way to survive.

Following the release of his best-selling series, Living Among Bigfoot, author Tom Lyons was contacted by several individuals who were eager to discuss their own encounters with the mysterious sasquatch species. This third issue contains eight chilling reports that will make your hair stand on end.

The third book in Charles Bowden’s “accidental trilogy” that began with Blood Orchid and Blues for Cannibals, Some of the Dead Are Still Breathing attempts to resolve the overarching question: How can a person live a moral life in a culture of death? As humanity moves further into the 21st century, Bowden continues to interrogate our roles in creating the ravaged landscapes and accumulated death that still surround us, as well as his own childhood isolation, his lust for alcohol and women, and his waning hope for a future.

From prehistory to the present-day conservation movement, Stephen Pyne explores the efforts of successive American cultures to master wildfire and to use it to shape the landscape. A timely environmental classic. Pyne was named by Science magazine as "the world's leading authority on the history of fire." The narrator of Fire in America, Jack de Golia, served as a firefighter with the National Park Service and then as a fire information officer for the NPS, Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service.
