In this time of political fragility, climate chaos, and seeking hope wherever we can find its glimmer, Terry Tempest Williams introduces us to the Glorians. They are not distant deities, but the ordinary, often overlooked presences—animal, plant, memory, moment—that reveal our shared vulnerability and interconnectedness with the natural world. The Glorians can be as small as an ant ferrying a coyote willow blossom to its queen or as commonplace as the night sky.

El planeta está cambiando. Las poblaciones también. Algunas se expanden sin control. Otras se desmoronan en silencio. ¿Cómo entender lo que está ocurriendo? ¿Y qué podemos hacer al respecto?

Este segundo libro es una exploración apasionante de los ritmos invisibles que rigen la vida en la Tierra. A través de ejemplos reales, historias sorprendentes y explicaciones accesibles, descubrirás cómo las poblaciones suben, bajan, migran, se agrupan, se dispersan o incluso desaparecen. Aprenderás qué es el efecto Allee, qué ocurre cuando llega una especie invasora, cómo funcionan las redes tróficas y por qué los humanos no somos tan distintos del resto de las especies.

¿Por qué algunas especies se multiplican mientras otras desaparecen sin dejar rastro? ¿Qué fuerzas invisibles determinan el destino de una población? Este libro responde esas preguntas con claridad, sin tecnicismos, y con ejemplos reales que muestran cómo la vida se organiza, se adapta y a veces se rompe. Desde el crecimiento explosivo de los conejos hasta el freno invisible de los recursos, pasando por el papel del azar, los depredadores y la estrategia reproductiva, este libro ofrece una introducción rigurosa pero accesible a los mecanismos que hacen crecer o declinar a las poblaciones.

In secca, dai corsi stentati, o gonfi di acque irruente e trascinanti: abbiamo cominciato (finalmente!) a preoccuparci dei cambiamenti climatici e della salute dei nostri fiumi, perché ci stiamo accorgendo che una risorsa che consideravamo scontata - rinnovabile - tanto scontata e inesauribile non è. Da tempo il nostro rapporto con i fiumi è di tipo parassitario: li usiamo e ne abusiamo, ne stravolgiamo la rete e la biodiversità, e poi ce ne dimentichiamo.

Progress is power. But our modern story of progress is a very dangerous fiction. In the pursuit of progress, of growth and expansion, we have levelled cities, flattened mountains, charted the globe and ushered in a new geological epoch unique in our planet’s 4.5-billion-year history. The idea of progress has compelled societies toward exploration, invention, and grandiosity on one hand, and on the other, genocide, slavery, ecocide, and conquest: it is the root of our civilization’s success, as well as its looming demise.

Seit Jahrtausenden betrachtet der Mensch die Natur aus einem egozentrischen Blickwinkel und bedient sich mit größter Selbstverständlichkeit an ihren Schätzen. Mit jedem Stück ursprünglicher Natur, das durch unser Eingreifen verloren geht, verlieren wir auch einen Teil unserer Seele. Die Natur ist die Grundlage unseres Lebens. Um unseren Planeten zu schützen und lebenswert zu erhalten, müssen wir unsere Rolle im Universum neu definieren: Der Mensch steht nicht im Mittelpunkt, sondern ist Teil der Natur, die es zu schützen gilt.

We humans have a complicated relationship with the dark. We fear it, and make great efforts to blot it out. But we also long for it, especially if we live in cities, or remember the starry skies of our childhoods. Darkness opens us up to risk, delight and transformation.

Drawing on memory and imagination, history and ecology, literature and myth, Night Vision is an expansive, thrilling journey into the true dark.

Estripar la terra exposa les mentides del món rural i fa una reflexió de la percepció enganyosa que tenim del nostre entorn. A través de diversos capítols, i en un format inspirat en el manifest, Dunyó estimula el lector a repensar com ens relacionem amb el temps, la terra i el que hi produïm. Amb un llenguatge evocador i poètic, però alhora amb un estil provocador i sense complexos, ens fa replantejar les prioritats per combatre els discursos de la lògica del capitalisme.

In dit hoorcollege bespreken Jan Willem Erisman en Wim de Vries de historie en de oorsprong van de stikstofproblematiek, met daarbij aandacht voor de modellen en metingen die ons in staat stellen de uitstoot en depositie van stikstofverbindingen in te schatten. Ze gaan in op de stikstofcyclus en de gevolgen van de stikstofovermaat voor lucht-, bodem- en waterkwaliteit, en daarmee voor natuur, gezondheid en klimaat. Daarnaast staan ze stil bij de mogelijke oplossingen van het probleem. Waar en hoe kunnen we de stikstofuitstoot verminderen? Met hoeveel?
