Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. While roads are so ubiquitous they're practically invisible to us, wild animals experience them as entirely alien forces of death and disruption. In Crossings, environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb travels throughout the United States and around the world to investigate how roads have transformed our planet. A million animals are killed by cars each day in the US alone, but as the new science of road ecology shows, the harms of highways extend far beyond roadkill.

When lockdown led busy professional Chloe to leave the city and return to the countryside of her childhood, she never expected to find herself custodian of a newly born hare.

Raising Hare chronicles their journey together and the challenges of caring for the leveret and preparing for its return to the wild. We witness an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, rekindling our sense of awe towards nature and wildlife.

Humans have kept honey bees in hives for millennia, yet only in recent decades have biologists begun to investigate how these industrious insects live in the wild. The Lives of Bees is Thomas Seeley’s captivating story of what scientists are learning about the behavior, social life, and survival strategies of honey bees living outside the beekeeper’s hive - and how wild honey bees may hold the key to reversing the alarming die-off of the planet’s managed honey bee populations.

Call it "Zen and the Art of Farming" or a "Little Green Book", Masanobu Fukuoka's manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book "is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical."

En Asilvestrado, Isabella Tree cuenta la historia del "experimento Knepp", un proyecto pionero de rewilding en West Sussex que utiliza animales de pastoreo en libertad para crear nuevos hábitats para la fauna. Wilding es, sobre todo, una inspiradora historia de esperanza.

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.
