Macht euch die Erde untertan«: Vor rund 3000 Jahren legte der Autor der Genesis seinem Schöpfer diesen Satz in den Mund. Damit war die Idee geboren, dass der Mensch eine Sonderstellung auf der Erde einnimmt und deren Ressourcen rücksichtslos ausbeuten darf. Sie war so stark, dass sie sich über den ganzen Planeten verbreitete. Wer sich ihr widersetzte, bekam es mit Kolonisatoren und Geschäftemachern zu tun, die sich auf angeblich höhere Werte beriefen.

The earth is bigger than you've been shown and there are undiscovered and secret lands beyond the polar ice. This is the first evidence-based book on the topic.

Equipped with real proof, this book rekindles your sense of exploration and adventure, expands your thinking and helps you dare venture where few have gone before.

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. It demonstrates how attending to the spatial circumstances under which compulsive acts, like touching, ordering, and aligning objects take place, can produce valuable new insights to complement neuroscientific, psychiatric and psychological knowledge.

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.
