In The Hidden World of the Fox, ecologist Adele Brand shines a light on one of Britain’s most familiar yet enigmatic animals, showing us how the astonishing senses, intelligence and behaviour that allowed foxes to thrive in the ancient wildwood now help them survive in the concrete car parks and clattering railway lines of our cities and towns.

Energized by her curiosity, she followed the birds as they drew her deeper into her authentic self, and ultimately into love.

Sommer 1934. Die Meeresbiologin Gloria Hollister sitzt an Bord eines Schiffes in der Nähe der Atlantikinsel Nonsuch, mit einer Hand presst sie einen Hörer ans Ohr, mit der anderen schreibt sie fieberhaft in ein Notizbuch. Die Telefonleitung reicht über 900 m tief ins Meer hinab. Dort unten baumelt an einem Stahlseil eine Tauchkugel, in der William Beebe zusammengekauert sitzt. Durch winzige Bullaugen blickt er in die fremde Unterwasserwelt. Aufgeregt beschreibt er fantastische Kreaturen und wundersame Licht- und Farbeffekte.

The 30th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew comes up this August. You know we’ll talk about that this season, and it’s the 10th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy. There is STILL so much to learn from both those events. As there is with every big disaster. The unimaginable rain from Harvey, the morning the flood walls toppled in Katrina. The assault on Louisiana by Ida and stunning events caused by its remnants in the Northeast. And, of course the extreme winds in Dorian, Maria, Michael, and other rapidly developing storms of the last several years. We’ve got a lot to talk about. There is ...
