Nel volgere di pochi decenni, l’umanità è andata incontro a una rivoluzione nelle sue abitudini ancestrali. Senza che ce ne accorgessimo, la nostra specie, che fino a poco tempo fa viveva immersa nella natura abitando ogni angolo della Terra, ha finito per abitare una parte davvero irrisoria delle terre emerse del pianeta. Cosa è accaduto? Da specie generalista in grado di vivere dovunque, ci siamo trasformati, in poche generazioni, in una specie in grado di vivere in una sola e specifica nicchia ecologica: la città.

The Pasagoula River is the largest unobstructed river in the continuous United States. Because of this lack of restraint, the river has been left to rise and fall naturally with the seasons, overflowing annually into the adjoining bottomland surrounded by some of the most ecologically diverse woodlands, in North America. Herman Murrah lived his entire life on the banks and in the swamp surrounding this river in southeast Mississippi. In this book, Herman's son Davy details the adventures that continue to inspire young conservationists in the fight to protect our remaining natural ecosystems.

America’s public lands include more than 600 million acres of forests, plains, mountains, wetlands, deserts, and shorelines. In this book, John Leshy, a leading expert in public lands policy, discusses the key political decisions that led to this, beginning at the very founding of the nation. He traces the emergence of a bipartisan political consensus in favor of the national government holding these vast land areas primarily for recreation, education, and conservation of biodiversity and cultural resources.

Age 14, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city.

Growing up at the feet of the Himalayas in northern India, Kumar took for granted her immersion in a lush natural world. After moving to North America as a teenager, she found herself increasingly distanced from more than human life and discouraged by the civilization she saw contributing to its destruction. It was only in her twenties, living in Los Angeles and working on films, that she began to rediscover her place in the landscape-and in the cosmos—by way of watching birds.
