Das erste Sachhörbuch des Bestsellerautors: die Menschheitsgeschichte von Tastaturen über Hotdogs bis zur Schönheit des Sonnenuntergangs in der Review. John Green verbindet sein eigenes Leben mit den großen Fragen der Menschheit: Was hat ein Teddybär mit Macht und Ohnmacht zu tun oder das Googeln mit unserer Endlichkeit? Mit seinem Blick für Seltsames, Wichtiges und Überraschendes bewertet John Green die menschengemachte Gegenwart auf einer Skala von 1 bis 5. Das Anthropozän ist das aktuelle Erdzeitalter, in dem wir den Planeten grundlegend verändern.

Why would someone who cares so deeply about ecological change want to stop talking about it now? At Work in the Ruins is the book that grew out of Dougald’s attempt to answer that question. He delves deeply into what he discovered during the globally shared isolating Covid moment, why the virus and the measures taken against it drove so many of us to despair, and how we can re-find our bearings if the pandemic is not the big event that changes everything but simply one in a chain of emergencies that are bringing about the end of the world as we knew it.

Abitare è una delle principali caratteristiche dell'essere umano e la casa è il luogo umano per eccellenza. Domandare a qualcuno «dove vivi?» vuol dire chiedere notizie sul posto in cui si svolge la sua attività quotidiana, ma soprattutto su quello che dà senso alla sua vita.

When Europeans first arrived in North America, between five and eight million Indigenous people were already living there. But how did they come to be here? What were their agricultural, spiritual, and hunting practices? How did their societies evolve, and what challenges do they face today? Eminent historians Theda Perdue and Michael Green begin by describing how nomadic bands of hunter-gatherers followed the bison and woolly mammoth over the Bering land mass between Asia and what is now Alaska between 25,000 and 15,000 years ago, settling throughout North America.
