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.

Cosa accade negli allevamenti e nei macelli del nostro Paese? È veramente sicuro ciò che mangiamo? In un'inchiesta sull'industria italiana della carne e dei formaggi dell'eccellenza "Made in Italy", Giulia Innocenzi affianca animalisti, veterinari e allevatori per svelare un mondo oscuro in cui gli animali sopravvivono a malapena in spazi microscopici, sporchi, senz'aria; costretti a vere e proprie torture, malati e imbottiti di antibiotici che finiscono sulle nostre tavole.

In 1995, the National Trust for Scotland acquired Mar Lodge Estate in the heart of the Cairngorms. Home to over 5,000 species, this vast expanse of Caledonian woodlands, subarctic mountains, bogs, moors, roaring burns, and frozen lochs could be a place where environmental conservation and Highland field sports would exist in harmony. The only problem was that due to centuries of abuse by human hands, the ancient Caledonian pinewoods were dying, and it would take radical measures to save them.

Stare all'aperto ci fa bene perché il nostro corpo, muovendosi nell'ambiente naturale, scarica elettricità statica, neutralizza tossine, dissolve ormoni dello stress, regolarizza le funzioni cardiocircolatorie. Gli innumerevoli benefici sono anche sul piano psicologico: scarichiamo emozioni, chiariamo la mente, rigeneriamo l'attenzione, prendiamo più efficacemente decisioni, elaboriamo soluzioni e idee. Proprio oggi dunque, che viviamo così lontani dai ritmi e dai modi con cui siamo cresciuti come specie, è necessario più che mai imparare ciò che la natura ha da insegnarci.

2021 ist ein Jahr der Zäsur. Mit der Bundestagswahl endet nach 16 Jahren die Ära Merkel, und in einer historischen Entscheidung stärkt das Bundesverfassungsgericht die Freiheitsrechte der jüngeren Generation. Die Ökologie steht nun endlich im Zentrum aller Zukunftsfragen: Wirtschaft, Verkehr, Ernährung, aber auch Wissenschaft, Journalismus und Politik - elementare Bereiche der Gesellschaft müssen neu gedacht werden. Große Umbrüche stehen bevor. Und es hängt viel davon ab, ob wir gemeinsame Lösungen finden.

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.

The once denuded Northeastern United States is now a region of trees. Nature Next Door argues that the growth of cities, the construction of parks, the transformation of farming, the boom in tourism, and changes in the timber industry have together brought about a return of Northeastern forests. Although historians and historical actors alike have seen urban and rural areas as distinct, they are in fact intertwined, and the dichotomies of farm and forest, agriculture and industry, and nature and culture break down when the focus is on the history of Northeastern woods.

As our civilization careens towards a precipice of climate breakdown, ecological destruction and gaping inequality, people are losing their existential moorings.

Yet another world is possible. Award-winning author Jeremy Lent investigates humanity's age-old questions - who am I? why am I? how should I live? - from a fresh perspective.
