Poemas: Roca y Tierra, Susurros del Abismo no es un poemario convencional: es una travesía emocional escrita con los pies cubiertos de polvo, la memoria en llamas y la brújula enterrada en el pecho. Su autor, geólogo y migrante, convierte su exilio en una litología del alma: cada poema es una roca viva, cada metáfora un estrato cargado de historias, cada silencio un eco que viene desde el subsuelo.

In December 1872, HMS Challenger embarked on the first round-the-world oceanographic expedition. Its goal: to shine a light on the mysteries of the deep sea. For the next four years, Challenger's naturalists explored the oceans, encountering never-before-seen marvels of marine life. The expedition’s achievements are the stuff of legend. It identified major ocean currents and defining features of the seafloor. It measured worldwide sea temperatures and chemistry. And, most spectacularly of all, it collected nearly five thousand sea creatures and plants new to science.

The growing concern about global environmental change and human impacts on the planet has led to the emergence of a broad field of study on the 'sustainability' of human societies. The term's common usage can be traced back to the advent of the Earth Summit in 1992 when 'sustainable development' was broadly embraced by the international community as an ostensibly win-win proposition for economic development, social inclusion, and ecological conservation. Yet both the natural science underpinnings and the social implications of a quest for sustainability have been diffuse.

Despite their cultural influence, the grand narrative of the dinosaur story is rarely told. Most of us have heard of Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, but these two dinosaurs lived more than eighty million years apart—a greater span of time than the entire post-T. rex history of the planet. Furthermore, we often know even less about the environments these animals lived in. The Shortest History of the Dinosaurs tells the full story, a 230-million-year epic of small beginnings, spectacular golden periods, and eventual global domination.

"Pensate al luogo più a nord che conoscete. Fissatelo nella mente, poi proseguite ancora e ancora, attraversate centinaia di chilometri di ghiaccio e neve, oltrepassate vulcani chiazzati di bianco e cascate di cristallo, scivolate tra branchi di renne e orsi polari, smarritevi nel buio gelido della notte artica inseguendo i bagliori verde-porpora delle aurore boreali.

Un presupposto: il pianeta è bello ed è possibile salvarlo. Una consapevolezza: siamo esseri viventi inseriti assieme agli altri in un unico, grande ecosistema. Un viaggio: è quello che ci propone Licia Colò, attraverso i panorami di tutto il mondo e la complessità delle sue forme di vita. Partiamo dall'Australia, che pur devastata da terribili roghi offre riserve naturali simili all'Eden, come Kangaroo Island o le Blue Mountains. Ammiriamo l'Indonesia, le sue isole mozzafiato punteggiate di vulcani, patria di animali a rischio di estinzione come gli orangutan e i draghi di Komodo.

La Terra è un minuscolo grumo di materia che si è generato nell’immensità dell’universo quasi 5 miliardi di anni fa. Da allora vaga per lo spazio-tempo, e da un po’ porta con sé un prezioso carico di vita, intelligenza e coscienza. Ma lei e il suo carico sono costantemente minacciati da esplosioni di supernove, impatti con grandi asteroidi, glaciazioni, eruzioni di supervulcani, megaterremoti e fiotti di raggi gamma. E di recente ci si sono messe anche bombe atomiche, crisi climatiche, pandemie e tante altre belle invenzioni dell’abitante principe del pianeta: l’umanità.
