As human activity and environmental change come to be increasingly recognized as intertwined phenomena on a rapidly urbanizing planet, the field of urban ecology has risen to offer useful ways of thinking about coupled human and natural systems. On the forefront of this discipline is Marina Alberti, whose innovative work offers a conceptual framework for uncovering fundamental laws that govern the complexity and resilience of cities, which she sees as key to understanding and responding to planetary change and the evolution of Earth.

Sols contaminés, eaux souillées, rejets toxiques, etc. Si la présence de polluants dans la biosphère remonte à la nuit des temps, l'augmentation de la population de la planète et l'accroissement des activités humaines ont provoqué une multiplication des cas de pollution depuis le début de l'ère industrielle.

In May 2015, the Earth wrote me a letter and told me to start a blog! Since then, I received more letters from the Earth which are encouraging, uplifting, and challenging. During our growing ecological crisis, this audiobook provides a fresh voice of Gaia/God, who calls us to slow down and take time to appreciate the miraculous nature of all and to awaken to needed changes to avoid environmental destruction.

Écologie : il faut agir maintenant, il n'est pas trop tard pour éviter le pire ! La question écologique engage notre survie. Elle ne peut pas être considérée comme secondaire. "La vie, sur Terre, est en train de mourir. L'ampleur du désastre est à la démesure de notre responsabilité. L'ignorer serait aussi insensé que suicidaire. Plus qu'une transition, je pense qu'il faut une révolution. Et c'est presque une bonne nouvelle."

In The Hidden World of the Fox, ecologist Adele Brand shines a light on one of Britain’s most familiar yet enigmatic animals, showing us how the astonishing senses, intelligence and behaviour that allowed foxes to thrive in the ancient wildwood now help them survive in the concrete car parks and clattering railway lines of our cities and towns.

Qualcuno si ostina a liquidare i cambiamenti climatici come fake news, ma la gran parte di noi è ben consapevole che se non modifichiamo radicalmente le nostre abitudini l'umanità andrà incontro al rischio dell'estinzione di massa. Lo sappiamo, eppure non riusciamo a crederci. E di conseguenza non riusciamo ad agire. Il problema è che l'emergenza ambientale non è una storia facile da raccontare e, soprattutto, non è una buona storia: non spaventa, non affascina, non coinvolge abbastanza da indurci a cambiare la nostra vita.

Le réchauffement climatique et le rôle des activités humaines sur notre climat deviennent de plus en plus perceptibles et occupent une place grandissante dans notre vie quotidienne. Lutter contre le réchauffement climatique est un véritable défi : c'est celui que s'est fixé Jean Jouzel tout au long de sa carrière scientifique.

Come limitare l'impatto dei consumi di energia sull'uomo e sull'ambiente, senza compromettere lo sviluppo economico?

Brigit Strawbridge Howard was shocked the day she realized she knew more about the French Revolution than she did about her native trees. And birds. And wildflowers. And bees. The thought stopped her — quite literally — in her tracks. But that day was also the start of a journey, one filled with silver birches and hairy-footed flower bees, skylarks, and rosebay willow herb, and the joy that comes with deepening one’s relationship with place.

Den globala ekonomin har länge byggt på obegränsade resurser och ständig tillväxt. Nu vet vi att vårt sätt att leva är ohållbart och allt fler ser över sina konsumtionsvanor. Vi pantar burkar, sopsorterar och köper ekologiskt. Men faktum är att ett hållbart sparande kan göra mer för klimatet och för ett hållbart samhälle. Dessutom är det lönsamt då bolag som satsar på hållbarhet nu går om sina konkurrenter och får bättre avkastning.

Brought to you by Penguin. 'Everything needs to change. And it has to start today' In August 2018 a fifteen-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, decided not to go to school one day. Her actions ended up sparking a global movement for action against the climate crisis, inspiring millions of...

In a centuries-old tradition, farmers in northwestern Iceland scour remote coastal plains for the down of nesting eider ducks. High inside a vast cave in Borneo, men perched atop rickety ladders collect swiftlets’ nests, a delicacy believed to be a cure for almost anything. Eiderdown and edible birds’ nests: both are luxury products, ultimately destined for the super-rich. To the rest of the world these materials are mere commodities but to the harvesters they are all imbued with myth, tradition, folklore and ritual, and form part of a shared identity and history.

Barcellona, Manchester o Salonicco, Torino, Bari o Genova: cosa hanno in comune queste città? Il fatto che possono essere considerate smart, misurandole con diversi parametri che vanno dai trasporti all'istruzione, dalla sanità alla sostenibilità ambientale all'innovazione tecnologica. Smart city è dunque una definizione complessa cha allude ad una trasformazione delle nostre attuali città con l'obiettivo non solo del superamento delle emergenze energetiche ed ambientali, ma anche della qualità del vivere per il cittadino e per la comunità, sul piano sociale ed economico.
