Wenn die Fische verschwinden und Meere zu Wüsten werden: Öko-SciFi trifft Klima-Thriller. Die Ozeane sterben. Die Fischbestände schwinden, und Wissenschaftler auf der ganzen Welt versuchen in beispiellosen Projekten, die drohende Katastrophe abzuwenden. Ein solches Projekt ist die Tiefseestation Bathos IV, deren Besatzung ― die philippinische Geologin Mayari, die norwegische Biologin Svea und der amerikanische Ingenieur Mat ― mehr über das Meeressterben herausfinden wollen. Beim Sichten der Drohnenaufnahmen stoßen sie auf eine ungewöhnliche Ansammlung von Quallen, deren pulsierendes Leuchten tausende Fische wie magisch anzieht.

The 2024 hurricane season has already garnered significant attention due to a combination of climatic factors, emerging weather patterns, and the potential socio-economic impact it might have. Analyzing the significance of this hurricane season involves delving into various aspects such as meteorological predictions, historical comparisons, the role of climate change, and the implications for affected regions.

When Cyclone Tracy flattened Darwin on Christmas Day 1974, it was the worst natural disaster Australians had ever experienced. Stationed in the city with the Women's Royal Australian Naval Service, Patricia Collins not only lived through Tracy but was part of the massive clean-up effort. This is her extraordinary story. Rock and Tempest contains astonishing first-person accounts of terror and uncertainty as well as courage and survival. It is fascinating and moving, and absolutely essential listening.

One of humanity’s oldest beliefs is that our world is alive. Though once ridiculed by some scientists, the idea of Earth as a vast interconnected living system has gained acceptance in recent decades. We, and all living things, are more than inhabitants of Earth—we are Earth, an outgrowth of its structure and an engine of its evolution. Life and its environment have coevolved for billions of years, transforming a lump of orbiting rock into a cosmic oasis—a planet that breathes, metabolizes, and regulates its climate.

This original, topical and engaging book navigates the complex realm of forest restoration. It reveals how a nuanced approach is required – one that integrates the latest scientific advancements (for instance in microbial ecology, acoustic technology and epigenetics), Indigenous leadership and a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of life within these vital ecosystems.

Imagine one day you receive a letter in the mail that informs you that a large energy company is planning to build a massive pipeline through your property. That they have the legal right to do so, whether you like it or not, because this project is in the "public interest"-because the pipeline will be carrying natural gas, the so-called "bridge fuel" that politicians have been peddling for decades as the path to a clean, green energy future.

Countering the conventional narrative that Florida's tourism industry suffered during the Great Depression, this book shows that the 1930s were the starting point for much that characterizes modern Florida's tourism. David Nelson argues that state and federal government programs designed to reboot the economy during this decade are crucial to understanding the state today.

As global rates of plant and animal extinctions mount, anxieties about the future of the earth's ecosystems are fueling ever more ambitious efforts at conservation, which draw on Western scientific principles to manage species and biodiversity. In Revenant Ecologies, Audra Mitchell argues that these responses not only ignore but also magnify powerful forms of structural violence like colonialism, racism, genocide, extractivism, ableism, and heteronormativity, ultimately contributing to the destruction of unique life forms and ecosystems.

In this vibrant and eye-opening book, economist and broadcaster Dharshini David follows the course of an average day to reveal the green changes that are already taking place in every aspect of our world. Exploring industries such as energy, food, fashion, technology, manufacturing and finance, she asks what is happening, how quickly, who is driving it all and what it means for us.

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.

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.

Spostarsi con le proprie gambe, senza consumare altro che la propria energia. Assaporare un passo più lento, accorgersi degli alberi, dei negozi, delle persone che incontriamo lungo il tragitto. Arrivare al lavoro svegli e pronti ad affrontare la giornata. Ma anche godersi il silenzio di un sentiero tra i campi, sfogare le emozioni spingendo sui pedali, o sapere che si potrà arrivare direttamente davanti al cinema senza preoccuparsi del parcheggio: sono tante le felicità possibili se si sceglie di vivere una vita a due ruote.

We live in an age when humanity spends 90% of its time indoors, yet the nature around us—especially in America’s cities—has never been more vital. This distancing from nature has sparked crises in mental health, longevity, and hope for the next generation, while also heightening the risks we face from historic floods, heatwaves, and wildfires. Indeed, embracing nature holds untapped potential to strengthen and fortify our cities, suburbs, and towns, providing solutions spanning flood preparation, wildfire management, and promoting longevity.

Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador's Amazon rainforest, Nemonte Nenquimo was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her elders. Age 14, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city. Eventually, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture. She listened. Two decades later, Nemonte has emerged as one of the most forceful voices in climate-change activism.

Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people.

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.

Everywhere we look, we see signs that all is not right with our earth—extreme temperatures and weather patterns wreak havoc, pollutants sour soils and waterways, and fires and floods ravage land and communities. Climate change is just a symptom of a larger ecological crisis. If we want change, we must realize that the solutions to the problems we face cant come through the same systems that created those problems in the first place.

Mosquitoes are among the most notorious insects globally, infamous for their role as vectors of various deadly diseases. Yet, their existence is a complex interplay of detrimental and beneficial effects on both ecosystems and human societies.
