By day, the great Wakulla spring offers cool comfort against the heat, and at night the fog returns, transforming the spring basin into a haunted cauldron, the grave of prehistoric beasts and the site of spirit revels.

When Adrian Potter retires from a life of teaching in West Yorkshire, his interests turn to a local badger group. He takes over the 'Badger Phone', which he comes to realize is something of a hot potato.

Stretching more than 2,300 kilometres along Australia’s northeast coast, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on Earth—and one of the most extraordinary ecosystems our planet has ever known. Visible from space and teeming with more species than many rainforests, the reef is a vibrant, breathing world of coral cities, swaying anemones, darting fish, and mysterious deep-sea creatures. But while its scale and splendour inspire awe, its delicate balance hangs by a thread.

Composting is so much more than just transforming food into soil; it is deeply existential, radical, and soul-opening. And no, it's not just for gardeners. You can compost in a bowl on your kitchen counter, or a bag under your sink, and you can compost things you're told you can't (although there are some things you probably shouldn't). Everyone can compost. And even if you're not going to compost at all, knowing about compost is engaging with a dialogue about zero waste.

Seit Jahrtausenden betrachtet der Mensch die Natur aus einem egozentrischen Blickwinkel und bedient sich mit größter Selbstverständlichkeit an ihren Schätzen. Mit jedem Stück ursprünglicher Natur, das durch unser Eingreifen verloren geht, verlieren wir auch einen Teil unserer Seele. Die Natur ist die Grundlage unseres Lebens. Um unseren Planeten zu schützen und lebenswert zu erhalten, müssen wir unsere Rolle im Universum neu definieren: Der Mensch steht nicht im Mittelpunkt, sondern ist Teil der Natur, die es zu schützen gilt.

Recycling is a simple action we can take that has an immediate positive effect. It keeps waste out of landfills, conserves natural resources, prevents pollution, and saves energy.

If you're worried that you're not recycling properly, or wondering whether you could be recycling more, this is the book for you. Recycling For Dummies cuts through the confusion around what you can and can't recycle. This manual breaks down recycling codes, symbols, and rules in a straightforward way.

Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known.

Fungi are everywhere. Most are harmless, some are helpful. A few are killers. Collectively, infectious fungi are the most devastating agents of disease on Earth, and a fungus that can persist in the environment without its host is here for the long haul. In gripping, accessible prose, Emily Monosson documents how changing climate, trade, and travel are making us all more vulnerable to invasion.

In a prizewinning five-year investigation, authors Simen Sætre and Kjetil Østli took an in-depth look at Norway’s role in the global salmon industry and, for the first time, produced a comprehensive evaluation of the detrimental effects of salmon farming. From lice to escapees, from concentrating the waste of sea pens in the fjords through which wild salmon swim to their natal streams to the fact that salmon farming causes a net reduction of protein reaped from the ocean, the results don’t look good.

In Wasteland, journalist Oliver Franklin-Wallis takes us on a shocking journey inside the waste industry—the secretive multi-billion dollar world that underpins the modern economy, quietly profiting from what we leave behind.

In this informed, incisive, and passionate commentary on the state of nature and conservation, Mark Avery reflects on our relationship with the wildlife around us. From the cats that pass through his garden to the chronic decline of farmland wildlife, from the Pasqueflowers he visits every spring to the proportion of national income devoted to saving nature–everything is connected, and everything is considered.

The Accidental Ecosystem tells the story of how cities across the United States went from having little wildlife to filling, dramatically and unexpectedly, with wild creatures. Today, many of these cities have more wild animals living in them than at any time in at least the past 150 years. Why have so many cities—the most artificial and human-dominated of all Earth's ecosystems—grown rich with wildlife, even as wildlife has declined in most of the rest of the world? And what does this paradox mean for people, wildlife, and nature on our increasingly urban planet?

Love for the Land explores the power and potential of people-place relationships. Through clear and compelling prose, it elevates the virtues of imagination, affection, and fidelity—concepts promoted by farmer-writer Wendell Berry—and shows how they motivate small- and mid-scale farmers to care for the land, even in the face of adversity. Paying particular attention to farmland loss from suburban sprawl, rampant agricultural consolidation, and, for farmers of color, racial injustice, Brooks Lamb reckons with the harsh realities that these farmers face.
