In seinem berühmtesten Schriftstück liefert Alexander von Humboldt einen bemerkenswerten Text, der die Welt auf die endgültige Ausmessung derselbigen gründlich vorbereitete. Ein jeweils weit überproportionales Quantum an Erkenntnissucht, Abenteuerlust, Wissenschaftsgeist und Forscherdrang befähigten und beseelten diesen Mann ein bis dato unerreichtes Spektrum an geographischen, geologischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Fakten auf empirischer Basis in seinen Ansichten der Natur zu bündeln und dadurch dem geneigten Leser bzw.

For most of 2020, Mikes Dilger’s day-job of travelling to the four corners of the British Isles all but disappeared. Having been confined to one place by the Covid pandemic, and with daily dog walks his sole permitted outdoor pursuit, the simple pleasure of getting to know the flowers at his feet reignited a long-buried botanical passion. Now Mike is on a mission: to see a thousand different wild plants in one calendar year, and assess how our fascinating flora is faring in modern Britain.

As a material, wood has no equal in strength, resilience, adaptability and availability. It has been our partner in the cultural evolution from woodland foragers to engineers of our own destiny. Tracing that partnership through tools, devices, construction and artistic expression, Max Adams explores the role that wood has played in our own history as an imaginative, curious and resourceful species.

Propositions about artificial intelligence are being debated seriously in the 21st Century, but machines, unlike plants, are not even living organisms. So, are plants sentient beings, like humans? Do they feel? Can they communicate? Plant sentience is a subject that has intrigued mankind over the ages—from the ancient Greeks, Plato and Aristotle, through to modern day philosophers and psychologists. In this extraordinary book, Australia's Dr Terence McMullen presents an engaging, systematic and thorough study of plant psychology.

Un giorno al compositore inglese Sir Edward Elgar venne chiesto da dove provenisse la sua musica. La risposta fu: "La mia idea è che ci sia musica nell’aria, musica dappertutto intorno a noi, il mondo ne è pieno e ne puoi prendere ogni volta tutta quella di cui hai bisogno". Lo stesso accade per le piante che, come la musica per Elgar, sono letteralmente dappertutto e per scriverne non si deve far altro che ascoltare le loro storie e raccontarle.

America was built on white pine. From the 1600s through the Civil War and beyond, it was used to build the nation's ships and houses, barns, and bridges. Yet this popularity came at a cost: by the end of the nineteenth century, clear cutting had decimated much of America's white pine forests. In White Pine, ecologist and writer John Pastor takes listeners on walk through history, connecting the white pine forests that remain today to a legacy of destruction and renewal.

The carbon dioxide that industrial civilization spews into the atmosphere has dramatic consequences for life on Earth that extend beyond climate change. CO2 levels directly affect plant growth, in turn affecting any kind of life that depends on plants—in other words, everything.
