YUCK is a prismatic collage, a poetic wandering, a compact history of the West as twisted and weird and ominous and beautiful as the plant it obsesses over. From divine providence to gaseous landfill to Instagram paradise, Yuck deftly traces the modern history of a small patch of desert to leave us with a big warning about America's demented relationship with the land.

In all animals, mating is a deal. But few creatures behave as if sex is a simple, even mutually beneficial, transaction. Many more treat it with reverence, suspicion, angst, and violence. In the case of the Black Grouse, the bird at the center of Matt Ridley’s investigation, the males dance and sing for hours a day, for several exhausting months, in an arduous and even deadly ritual called a “lek.” To prepare for the ordeal, they grow, preen and display fancy, twisted, bold-colored feathers. When achieved, consummation with a female takes seconds.

Described by Jeffrey Masson as "the single best introduction to animal rights ever written, Tom Regan's Empty Cages stands as an essential guide to the ongoing animal rights debate. In a style at once simple and elegant, Regan dispels the negative image of animal rights advocates as portrayed by the mass media, unmasks the fraudulent rhetoric of "humane treatment" favored by animal exploiters in both familiar and less well-documented contexts, and explains why existing laws function to legitimize institutional cruelty.

Formerly titled Slaughter the Animals, Poison the Earth. All new foreword by New York Times Bestselling author Steve Jackson.

Il nostro mondo sta cambiando, il clima sta cambiando. Le specie che sono esistite a lungo sul nostro pianeta stanno scomparendo e le risorse stanno diventando scarse. Le persone si stanno lentamente rendendo conto che lo sviluppo non è sempre positivo. Stiamo sfruttando la nostra Terra, ma dovremmo prendercene cura, perché abbiamo solo questa. Lentamente, però, si sta verificando un ripensamento e le persone stanno cercando di rimediare agli errori del passato. Si sta cercando di ridurre le emissioni di CO₂, di conservare le risorse della Terra e di prestare maggiore attenzione alla natura.

Platypuses are mammals unlike any other on earth. They lay eggs, ooze milk through their skin, and can sense electricity. In this episode, we travel with a platypus as he moves through his nightly routine on the island of Tasmania. He uses electroreceptors to hunt underwater and does a synchronized swimming courtship ritual with his mate, who then digs a burrow 40 feet deep into the riverbank to nest.

Reeling from the pain of devastating miscarriages and suffering from PTSD after military adventures in Afghanistan, Merlin and his wife Lizzie decide to leave the bustle of London and return to Merlin’s childhood home, a Cornish hill farm called Cabilla in the heart of Bodmin Moor. There, they are met by unexpected challenges: a farm slipping ever further into debt, the discovery that the overgrazed and damaged woods running throughout the valley are in fact one of the UK’s last remaining fragments of Atlantic temperate rainforest, and the sudden and near catastrophic strickening by Covid.

The Possibility of Tenderness is a personal history narrated through the lens of the ‘grung’ and plants.

It’s the migration tale of a young scholar who arrives in Britain from rural Jamaica to study at Oxford to achieve ‘upward social mobility’ and who now lives in Roundhay Leeds. Suddenly, amidst his journey of dreams and class aspiration, the plants and people of his native district, Coffee Grove, begin to offer different ways of living, alternative dreams, and the possibility of tenderness.

Este libro descubre la más sucia, sorprendente y festiva intimidad de los seres vivos. Ahí fuera se vive una orgía permanente en la que los chimpancés disfrutan de sus penes con espinas y los patos, de sus enormes sacacorchos; donde los pájaros se ponen los cuernos sin remordimiento alguno y las ranas se hacen las muertas para escapar de los pretendientes más insistentes; en el que los hongos tienen tres, cuatro o hasta miles de sexos, algunos peces cambian de sexo y otros llevan los genitales de sus examantes pegados a sus escamas; donde los zánganos eyaculan tan fuerte que revientan.

Carbon is the only element that animates the entirety of the living world. Though comprising a tiny fraction of Earth’s composition, our planet is lifeless without it. Yet it is maligned as the driver of climate change, scorned as an errant element blamed for the possible demise of civilization. Here, Paul Hawken looks at the flow of life through the lens of carbon. Embracing a panoramic view of carbon’s omnipresence, he explores how this ubiquitous and essential element extends into every aperture of existence and shapes the entire fabric of life.
