This urgent and eye-opening book makes the case that protecting humanity's future is the central challenge of our time. If all goes well, human history is just beginning. Our species could survive for billions of years - enough time to end disease, poverty, and injustice, and to flourish in ways unimaginable today. But this vast future is at risk. With the advent of nuclear weapons, humanity entered a new age, where we face existential catastrophes - those from which we could never come back.

Il nostro pianeta è in pericolo, ben presto gli effetti del riscaldamento globale saranno irreversibili. Come siamo arrivati a questo punto? Di chi è la colpa? Cosa possiamo fare per invertire la rotta? Unendo approfondite competenze scientifiche a un inimitabile talento di narratore, che lo ha reso celebre in tutto il mondo, Frank Schätzing risponde a queste domande partendo dall'analisi del concetto di clima e di catastrofe ambientale, perché la regola numero uno di ogni guerra è "conosci il tuo nemico".

From the secret fossils of London to the three-billion-year-old rocks of the Scottish Highlands, and from state-of-the-art Californian laboratories to one of the world's most dangerous volcanic complexes hidden beneath the green hills of western Naples, set out on an adventure to those parts of the world where the Earth's life-story is written into the landscape. Helen Gordon turns a novelist's eye on the extraordinary scientists who are piecing together this planetary drama.

Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known.

Si hay un futuro que imaginar es ancestral, pues ya está presente en el aquí y ahora y en lo que existe a nuestro alrededor, en los ríos, las montañas y los árboles que son nuestros parientes. Krenak propone una mirada que desafía y enfrenta los supuestos que sostienen la mentalidad occidental.

Es la historia más vieja del mundo: la de un desastre medioambiental y una tecnología que nos salva. La hemos repetido como un mantra desde el principio de los tiempos porque hasta ahora se ha revelado cierta; somos el animal más peligroso de la sabana, hemos vencido a las bestias, a las tormentas y a la enfermedad. Pero la estrategia evolutiva que nos ha mantenido vivos desde el principio de la misma vida nos empuja ahora al borde de la extinción. Estamos tan atrapados que ya nos parece inevitable.

Notre planète va mal : réchauffement climatique, épuisement des ressources naturelles, pollutions des sols et de l'eau provoquées par les industries civiles et guerrières, disparité des richesses, malnutrition des hommes, taux d'extinction effarant des espèces vivantes, etc. La situation est-elle vraiment dramatique ? Que penser des thèses qui contestent ce pessimisme ?

Sand, iron, salt, oil, copper and lithium. The struggle for these tiny, magical materials has razed empires, demolished civilizations, fed our greed and our ingenuity for thousands of years. But the story is not over. We are often told we now live in a weightless world of information but in fact we dug more stuff out of the earth in 2017 than in all of human history before 1950. And it's getting worse. To make one bar of gold, we now have to dig 5,000 tons of earth. For every tonne of fossil fuels, we extract six tonnes of other materials - from sand to stone to wood to metal.

Pianeta Terra, anno 2050. Le nazioni non hanno mantenuto gli impegni presi, le emissioni di carbonio non sono diminuite e il riscaldamento globale ha reso il mondo un posto invivibile, scosso da rivolte politiche e fenomeni naturali catastrofici. Questo scenario può ancora essere evitato. Attraverso un'analisi dei rischi, delle possibilità che ci restano e un decalogo di attivismo civico, Christiana Figueres e Tom Rivett-Carnac, artefici dell'Accordo di Parigi del 2015, delineano le basi per salvare il pianeta e scegliere così il futuro che ci aspetta.

Il mare: culla della vita, meraviglia della natura capace di dividere come di unire. Da sempre i poeti ne cantano lo splendore e la forza, e popoli interi l'hanno solcato nel corso dei millenni. Ancora oggi offre cibo, lavoro ed energia a metà della popolazione mondiale. Abbiamo chiamato Terra il nostro pianeta, eppure il 71 per cento della sua superficie è ricoperto da distese d'acqua, che nelle loro profondità ospitano l'80 per cento delle specie viventi; esse regolano il clima, producono il 50 per cento dell'ossigeno che respiriamo e assorbono un terzo dell'anidride carbonica prodotta dall'uomo.

"Ci troviamo di fronte a una catastrofe. Voglio che proviate la paura che provo io ogni giorno. Voglio che agiate come fareste in una situazione di crisi. Come se la vostra casa fosse in fiamme. Perché è quello che sta succedendo." Greta Thunberg ha parlato chiaro ai grandi del mondo e ha iniziato così la sua battaglia contro il cambiamento climatico, convinta che "nessuno è troppo piccolo per fare la differenza".
