The Grand Canyon’s Secrets takes listeners on a journey through science, history, and myth to answer these questions. Moving beyond tourist brochures, this book explores the canyon as a geological archive, a cultural landmark, and a still-active natural laboratory.

Compulsive Body Spaces presents a spatial understanding of compulsion. Providing a compelling account of the lives of 15 people with Tourette syndrome, it demystifies the seemingly irrational, purposeless and meaningless character of this behaviour.

The growing concern about global environmental change and human impacts on the planet has led to the emergence of a broad field of study on the 'sustainability' of human societies. The term's common usage can be traced back to the advent of the Earth Summit in 1992 when 'sustainable development' was broadly embraced by the international community as an ostensibly win-win proposition for economic development, social inclusion, and ecological conservation. Yet both the natural science underpinnings and the social implications of a quest for sustainability have been diffuse.

Wir stellen uns Bäume als eine passive Spezies vor, die an einen Ort gebunden ist, dabei gestalten sie ihre Umwelt aktiv. Sie zerkleinern Felsen, verbreitern die Küsten, vergiften gezielt Tiere, kontrollieren Wasserkreisläufe und lösen sogar Waldbrände aus. Seit prähistorischen Zeiten beeinflussen Bäume so ganze Ökosysteme, das Klima und schließlich auch uns Menschen maßgeblich. Die britische Biochemikerin und Journalistin Harriet Rix nimmt uns mit auf eine atemberaubende Weltreise zu Wäldern in Kalifornien, Syrien, Brasilien, im Himalaya, oder auf La Gomera.

A geografia sempre moldou a nossa vida. O poder, as guerras, a política e o desenvolvimento social e humano, incluindo língua, comércio e religião, são delimitados por ela – e assim continua a ser, mesmo com os avanços tecnológicos. Claro que ela não determina o curso de todos os acontecimentos: grandes ideias e grandes líderes são parte importante dos movimentos da história. Mas eles devem todos operar conforme os limites da geografia.

Charles Hapgood's classic 1966 book on ancient maps is back. Hapgood produces concrete evidence of an advanced worldwide civilization existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. He has found the evidence in many beautiful maps long known to scholars, the Piri Reis Map that shows Antarctica, the Hadji Ahmed map, the Oronteus Finaeus and other amazing maps. Hapgood concluded that these maps were made from more ancient maps from the various ancient archives around the world, now lost.

Ein Buch, das unser Weltbild ins Wanken bringt. Ob bei Google Maps oder Apple: Täglich verlassen wir uns auf Karten. Aber wir denken selten darüber nach, wie umfangreich sie Einfluss auf unser Leben nehmen. Zum Beispiel durch die Mercator-Projektion aus dem 16. Jahrhundert, die bis heute die Dominanz des Westens unterstreicht, indem sie die Länder des Nordens größer erscheinen lässt. Oder durch Gerrymandering, die Grenzziehung von Bezirken, die den Ausgang von Wahlen beeinflusst.

Die Auseinandersetzung um Migration und Integration, um Flüchtlings- und Asylpolitik ist angesichts des neuen Zuwanderungshochs wieder in vollem Gange. Gleichzeitig aber gibt es keine europäische Asylpolitik, sind die Außengrenzen der EU löchrig, geht die Bundesregierung von überzogenen Zahlen für die qualifizierte Einwanderung aus, werden die Alarmrufe der Städte und Kommunen kleingeredet, wächst das Unbehagen von immer größeren Teilen der Bevölkerung.
