Het meeslepende verhaal van een van de grootste vulkaanuitbarstingen aller tijden. In april 1815 vond op het eiland Soembawa, in het toenmalige Nederlands-Indië, de grootste vulkaanuitbarsting sinds mensenheugenis plaats. Deze uitbarsting verbijsterde behalve de plaatselijke bevolking ook de koloniale overheersers. De enorme aswolk die na de eruptie over de wereld dreef, zorgde voor hagel op Sri Lanka en sneeuw in het zuiden van de VS. Twee natuurverschijnselen die daarvoor én daarna nooit meer zijn waargenomen. Het boek volgt de wolk die na de uitbarsting over de hele wereld heen trekt.

With increasing curiosity, Derek started to piece together fragments of information, stories and artefacts to reveal a shadowy creature that first walked proud through these lands and then was hunted to extinction as coexistence turned to fear, hatred–and domination.

В книге Марка Курлански скромная треска становится главным персонажем мировой истории. Ради трески европейцы начали пересекать Атлантику — и именно благодаря треске столь дальние плавания стали возможны. Из-за трески велись войны и начинались революции, она служила основой рациона целых народов, от нее зависели экономики разных стран, и колонизация Северной Америки произошла во многом благодаря ей. Автор знакомит читателей с людьми, чья жизнь тесно связана с этой уникальной рыбой, — исследователями, торговцами, писателями, шеф-поварами и, конечно, рыбаками.

Story
Mention the word earthquake and most people think of California. But while the Golden State shakes on a regular basis, Washington State, Oregon, and British Columbia are located in a zone that can produce the world’s biggest earthquakes and tsunamis. In the eastern part of the continent, small cities and large, from Ottawa to Montréal to New York City, sit in active earthquake zones. In fact, more than 100-million North Americans live in active seismic zones, many of whom do not realize the risk to their community.

Story
«Il futuro non è più quello di una volta», diceva Paul Valéry. E oggi più che mai, nel mondo dopo la pandemia, è diventato necessario ripensare al domani che ci aspetta. Ma in uno scenario che appare catastrofico e che impone di essere riconsiderato in tutto e per tutto, la prospettiva ambientale potrebbe essere l’unica risposta adeguata per fronteggiare le sfide che il presente ci pone. Siglare un nuovo Patto Atlantico delle democrazie aiuterebbe non solo a sconfiggere il virus, ma anche a ricostruire l’economia e proteggere il clima; sarebbe un tentativo per rendere concreta una solidarietà soltanto proclamata.

Talking to women from around the world, Philippa studies and celebrates what it means to be a wild woman. From the sixteenth-century botanist who was the first woman to circumnavigate the globe to modern-day women responding to bear attacks in Yellowstone, working to rewild reserves in South Africa, photographing Caribou in the Arctic and more, Philippa examines how these women benefit from a life spent in the wilderness and also considers what the natural world gains from them.

Story
In the vein of Bill Bryson, Tim Cahill, and Ellen Meloy, Burrillo's is a fresh voice in humor-spiked nature writing and cultural commentary. Running throughout the wide-ranging topics of The Backwoods of Everywhere are themes of place and locality, and how these vary between cultures and individuals. Marrying the intensely personal with the complex and technical, Burrillo's candid voice brings humor, wonder, irony, and wit to each thought-provoking essay.

Story
Biodiversity, the diversity of life, is not only fascinating and beautiful, it is the engine of all the world's natural cycles, and the source of many of the resources on which humanity depends. Concern about biodiversity conservation is, therefore, not merely the preoccupation of a few enthusiastic naturalists—it is the lifeline business of everybody.

Story
Wer von uns kann schon genau erklären, wie der Treibhauseffekt funktioniert? Was das CO2 in unserer Atmosphäre macht? Oder warum es so viel regnet, obwohl alle von der Klimaerwärmung sprechen? Kinder stellen 1000 Fragen. Wir Erwachsenen hingegen trauen uns oft nicht mehr, genau nachzufragen. Schließlich müssten wir es ja längst wissen. Doch es gibt so viele spannende Dinge, interessante Fakten und unzählige Selbstverständlichkeiten, die lohnen, genauer verstanden zu werden. Schließlich geht es um unsere Zukunft!
