Otros mundos devuelve a la vida dieciséis ecosistemas de un pasado inimaginablemente remoto y nos muestra continentes en movimiento, arrecifes de cristal, hongos de tres metros de altura, pingüinos gigantes, reptiles emplumados y muchas otras criaturas asombrosas de un atractivo casi mitológico. A medida que viajamos hacia atrás en el tiempo, redescubrimos nuestro propio hogar de formas irreconocibles, y nos sobrecogen los ecosistemas que se transforman y los devastadores escenarios que han causado el fin de incontables especies.

We went our separate ways: us and them. We went on to civilize ourselves and they remained a nomadic and indigenous people. We used the bountiful resources of nature and they simply saw themselves as being nature. Now, we look back and see how they live and how we live. Divergence offers an insightful look at how we came to be separated from our natural environment and even our own basic nature from an anthropological perspective. Divergence explores the basic disconnections in our lives that we’ve come to accept as normal.

From "extenda-ears" and acorn whistles to bird calls, camouflage games, and scent scavenger hunts, enjoy over 70 diverse, engaging, sensory activities for all ages that promote mindfulness and nature connection.

For millennia, trees have offered renewal and inspiration. They have provided for humanity on every level, from spiritual sanctuary to the raw material for our homes, books, and food. In this beautiful and revealing book, National Geographic illuminates exactly how trees influence the life of planet Earth—from our personal lives to the weather cycle. Essays tell the stories of the world's most remarkable trees, from Tane Mahura in New Zealand, the ancient Maori "lord of the forest," to Pando, a single aspen spreading over 100 acres: Earth's largest living thing.

What is nature? What is humanity's place in nature? And what is the relationship of society to the natural world? In an era of ecological breakdown, answering these questions has become of momentous importance for our everyday lives and for the future that we and other life-forms face. In the essays of The Philosophy of Social Ecology, Murray Bookchin confronts these questions head on, invoking the ideas of mutualism, self-organization, and unity in diversity, in the service of ever-expanding freedom.

Il nostro pianeta è in pericolo, ben presto gli effetti del riscaldamento globale saranno irreversibili. Come siamo arrivati a questo punto? Di chi è la colpa? Cosa possiamo fare per invertire la rotta? Unendo approfondite competenze scientifiche a un inimitabile talento di narratore, che lo ha reso celebre in tutto il mondo, Frank Schätzing risponde a queste domande partendo dall'analisi del concetto di clima e di catastrofe ambientale, perché la regola numero uno di ogni guerra è "conosci il tuo nemico".

HISTOIRE ET PROJECTIONS, DÉRÈGLEMENTS CLIMATIQUES ET SOCIÉTÉ. Le GIEC a été une réussite scientifique pour démontrer un réchauffement climatique sans précédent, mais un échec politique radical à convaincre la société civile et les politiques. Ce cours sous forme d'entretiens réunit Dominique Bourg, le philosophe de l'environnement, Jean Jouzel, le paléoclimatologue Vice-Président du GIEC jusqu'en 2015, et Hervé Le Treut Climatologue spécialiste de la simulation numérique pour répondre aux questions.

Nos últimos anos a ciência tem comprovado que as árvores e o homem têm muito mais em comum do que poderíamos imaginar. Assim como nós, elas se comunicam, mantêm relacionamentos, formam famílias, cuidam dos doentes e dos filhos, têm memória, defendem-se de agressores e competem ferozmente com outras espécies. Em A vida secreta das árvores, o engenheiro florestal alemão Peter Wohlleben alia seus 20 anos de experiência às últimas descobertas científicas para examinar o dia a dia desses seres fantásticos.

We are in the midst of an extinction event: the sixth mass extinction on Earth and one entirely caused by mankind. All species become extinct sooner or later, but we have accelerated that natural process several hundredfold, and now, it is happening right in front of our eyes. Extinction has a terrifying finality to it. And many species have already been lost to us forever; there is little we can do about that. What we can do, however, is reflect, remember, and ultimately acknowledge the unvarnished truth.

An engrossing and revealing study of why we deem certain animals “pests” and others not—from cats to rats, elephants to pigeons—and what this tells us about our own perceptions, beliefs, and actions, as well as our place in the natural world A squirrel in the garden. A rat in the wall. A...

An innovative work of research and reportage, We Are the Middle of Forever places Indigenous voices at the center of conversations about today’s environmental crisis. The book draws on interviews with people from different North American Indigenous cultures and communities, generations, and geographic regions who share their knowledge and experience, their questions, their observations, and their dreams of maintaining the best relationship possible to all of life.

“A necessary book for anyone truly interested in what we take from the sea to eat, and how, and why.” —Sam Sifton, The New York Times Book Review Acclaimed author of American Catch and The Omega Princple and life-long fisherman, Paul Greenberg takes us on a journey, examining the four fish...

Nesse livro, Peter Wohlleben compartilha conosco fascinantes histórias sobre as emoções, os sentimentos e a inteligência dos animais que nos cercam. Através de casos impressionantes de porcos leais, pássaros que traem as companheiras e galos conspiradores, ele mescla recentes descobertas científicas à própria experiência como engenheiro florestal para mostrar como os animais interagem com o mundo. Você vai ver que embora sejam diferentes de nós de muitas formas impressionantes, eles são, ao mesmo tempo, mais parecidos conosco do que poderíamos imaginar.

From one of the most original thinkers on the role of religion in the modern world, a profound exploration of the spiritual power of nature—and an urgent call to reclaim that power in everyday life. "Much has been written on the scientific and technological aspects of climate change.... But...

Lasst uns den Menschen als Teil der Natur neu denken! Den Fluss Orinoco bereiste vor 200 Jahren Alexander von Humboldt auf seiner Südamerika-Expedition, und dieser Naturforscher ist einer der Leitsterne für das neue Hörbuch der Bestsellerautoren Harald Lesch und Klaus Kamphausen. Denn: Wir benötigen dringend ein neues Verständnis der natürlichen Welt und ein neues Verständnis von uns selbst, eines in dem auch das Fühlen und Wundern wieder mehr Platz erhalten. Eines, das uns ermöglicht, die Rolle des Menschen als Teil des Ökosystems Erde neu zu bestimmen und die Zerstörung unserer Lebensgrundlagen zu verhindern.

Madagascar is a place of change. A biodiversity hotspot and the fourth largest island on the planet, it has been home to a spectacular parade of animals, from giant flightless birds and giant tortoises on the ground, to agile lemurs leaping through the treetops. Some species live on, many have vanished in the distant or recent past. Over vast stretches of time, Madagascar’s forests have expanded and contracted in response to shifting climates and the hand of people is clear in changes during the last 1,000 years or so.

If you are at all interested in life on our planet, then you need to know about insects. They are the most successful group of animals ever to have lived on Earth. Making up three quarters of all animal species, insects conquered the planet long ago. They were among the very first animals to appear on land and were the first to take to the air. Their total biomass is at least 10 times that of all humans and our livestock combined.

Cinq ans après l'accord de Paris sur le climat, l'auteur constate un échec de l'entreprise. Il explique que les émissions mondiales de CO2 ont continué à augmenter, notamment à cause des pays tels que la Chine et l'Inde qui ne se sont engagés à rien. Selon lui, les dépenses consacrées à la transition écologique en Europe ne pourront rien faire face à l'explosion des émissions du tiers-monde. La température moyenne de la planète a augmenté d'environ 1°c depuis un siècle et demi.

What is my state and other states' official state insect or butterfly? Is there somewhere in each state to go see the state insect or butterfly? Is my state doing anything to protect these or other insects? If you find yourself asking any of these questions, then this book is for you. This book will list a place in each state where you can see the state insect such as a conservatory, farm, or sanctuary. Because so many of these insects are being threatened or are endangered, many states have programs in effect to help protect them, which will also be listed.
