Everyone worries about the collapse of bee populations. But what about wasps? Deemed the gangsters of the insect world, wasps are winged assassins with formidable stings. Conduits of Biblical punishment, provokers of fear and loathing, inspiration for horror movies: wasps are perhaps the most maligned insect on our planet. But do wasps deserve this reputation? Endless Forms opens our eyes to the highly complex and diverse world of wasps.

In this book, Emma Farrell explains how to take your connection and relationship with nature to a deeper level and access plant spirit healing through meditation with plants. Exploring the nature of plant consciousness and how plants perceive, she details how to achieve a calm mind, cleanse your energy field, and connect with your heart in preparation for meditating with plants and trees, showing how the plants can support us not only in the cleansing process, but also in teaching us how to sense what is in our energy field.

Our species has amassed unprecedented knowledge of nature, which we have tried to use to seize control of life and bend the planet to our will. In A Natural History of the Future, biologist Rob Dunn argues that such efforts are futile. We may see ourselves as life’s overlords, but we are instead at its mercy. In the evolution of antibiotic resistance, the power of natural selection to create biodiversity, and even the surprising life of the London Underground, Dunn finds laws of life that no human activity can annul.

Extinción nos revela con evidencia científica la crisis ecológica y climática que atraviesa nuestro planeta. En los próximos cincuenta años 4000 millones de personas vivirán en zonas no aptas para la producción de alimentos. Para 2080 América del Sur estará en una sequía extrema. El 60% de los mamíferos y el 70% de las aves son criados para alimentar humanos.

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.

Parce que "l'eau est le sang de la planète" et parce qu'il y a urgence, le capitaine Paul Watson signe un nouveau manifeste coup de poing pour la sauvegarde des océans. En janvier 2016, quelques jours après la COP 21, Paul Watson publiait un manifeste uppercut au titre dramatiquement réaliste : "Urgence ! Si l'océan meurt nous mourrons".

With its rich biodiversity, astounding wildlife, and breathtaking animal migrations, Serengeti is like no other ecosystem on the planet. A Place Like No Other is Anthony Sinclair's firsthand account of how he and other scientists discovered the biological principles that regulate life in Serengeti and how they rule all of the natural world.

Un CV imaginaire, une fausse identité, et un crâne rasé... "Steak Machine" est le récit d'une infiltration de quarante jours dans un abattoir industriel. Dans ce reportage glaçant, le journaliste Geoffrey Le Guilcher partage et raconte le quotidien des ouvriers : les giclées de sang dans les yeux, les doigts qui se bloquent et les défonces nocturnes. Car dans une usine qui abat deux millions d'animaux par an, le traitement indigne réservé aux bêtes s'accompagne toujours d'une violence exercée sur les hommes.

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.

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.

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.

Yellowstone Wildlife is a natural history of the wildlife species that call Yellowstone National Park and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem their home. Yellowstone Wildlife describes the lives of species in the park, exploring their habitats from the Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole.

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.

L'histoire fascinante d'un "Mowgli" d'aujourd'hui. Amoureux de la nature, Geoffroy Delorme n'a pas vingt ans quand il aperçoit, dans la forêt de Louviers en Normandie, un chevreuil curieux et joueur. Le jeune homme et l'animal s'apprivoisent. Geoffroy lui donne un nom, Daguet, et le chevreuil lui ouvre les portes de la forêt et du monde fascinant de ses semblables. Geoffroy s'installe parmi eux et son expérience immersive va durer sept ans.

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.

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.
