От того, как мы будем ее решать в следующие тридцать лет, зависит, в каком мире мы будем жить и какой мир передадим своим детям и внукам. "Какое будущее мы выбираем" — страстный призыв к действию бывшего секретаря Рамочной конвенции ООН об изменении климата Кристианы Фигерес и ее соратника Тома Риветт-Карнака. Авторы убеждены: человечество еще может избежать худшего сценария и предотвратить катастрофические последствия климатических изменений, но действовать надо немедленно.

Story
Was hat Boden eigentlich mit Festivals, Bier oder radioaktiven Pilzen zu tun? Warum landet er manchmal in der Badewanne oder sogar in unserem Magen? Zum ersten Mal kommt unser Boden persönlich zu Wort und erzählt im charmanten Plauderton aus unterirdischer Perspektive von seinem Alltag mit uns Menschen. Ob im Garten, im Wald oder in der Stadt, der Boden ist mit seinen zahlreichen Familienmitgliedern – den Bodentypen – immer an unserer Seite. Als großartiger Speicher für Humus, Wasser oder Nährstoffe hilft er uns täglich beim Klimaschutz, bei Hochwasser und unserer Ernährung.

Story
Did you know that up to 90% of women experience menstrual abnormalities or pelvic problems in their lifetime? Yet these issues are overwhelmingly misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed. At a turbulent time when global health, reproductive, and human rights are under siege, Dr Tang is determined to revolutionise how gynaecologic health and pelvic pain are treated by the medical community. This book will be part of the fight for the healthcare all people with uteruses deserve - healthcare that is intersectional, gender-affirming, validating and hopeful.

Story
Mycologist John Wright explains the ins and outs of collecting, including relevant UK laws, conservation notes, practical tips and identification techniques. He takes us through the 72 species we are most likely to come across during forays in Britain's forests and clearings: old friends the Chanterelle and Cep, as well as a whole colourful host of more unfamiliar names - edible species including the Velvet Shank, the Horn of Plenty, the Amethyst Deceiver, the Giant Puffball and the Chicken in the Woods, and poisonous types such as the Sickener, the Death Cap and the Destroying Angel.

Arsuaga en su máximo esplendor. El primer libro sobre la evolución de la anatomía humana, y que une ciencia y arte. 4.ª edición. Más de 40.000 lectores. En el museo del Prado, un científico recorre con la vista la escultura del Diadúmeno de Policleto; en su anatomía puede leer una historia evolutiva de siete millones de años. En la sala contigua hay otra algo más tardía que muestra la figura desnuda de la Venus del delfín, el canon helenístico de la belleza femenina. El científico aprecia las diferencias entre ambos y se pregunta por su significado.

Story
Emetto più CO2 se mangio carne bovina biologica, polli da allevamento intensivo, frutti di mare o un trancio di pesce spada? È davvero utile adottare alveari di api o finanziare aziende o associazioni che piantano alberi in giro per il mondo? Ogni giorno la nostra vita è riempita da una serie di dilemmi etici e morali che assomigliano molto a queste domande. Ormai, infatti, abbiamo tutti gli strumenti per capire che ogni nostro comportamento produce un impatto sul pianeta. Eppure, nonostante questa consapevolezza, spesso ci sentiamo impotenti di fronte ai mille problemi che la crisi ambientale ci pone di fronte quotidianamente.
