"E adesso sotto con il resto". Terminava così il primo libro di Alex Zanardi, del 2003. Allora sembrava una boutade perché Alex, dopo il terribile incidente automobilistico del Lausitzring in Germania, era sopravvissuto contro le previsioni di tutti (gli avevano persino dato l'estrema unzione) e aveva perso le gambe. Già, il resto. Ma quale resto? Al suo posto, molti si sarebbero "accontentati" di essere ancora a questo mondo. Invece, Alex si è inventato una nuova vita che, se possibile, è più elettrizzante della prima.

Sebbene esista la convinzione che parlare alle piante ne favorisca la crescita, sembra tuttavia alquanto strano immaginare che le piante abbiano una vita mentale. Se però consideriamo che pensare non è altro che la capacità di recepire stimoli dall'ambiente, elaborarli e mettere in atto strategie per sopravvivere, allora possiamo ritenere che le piante abbiano una qualche forma di pensiero e intelligenza. L'autore ci introduce nel mondo delle piante e ne svela i segreti.

Called "one of the greatest men alive" by the Times of London, E. O. Wilson proposes an historic partnership between scientists and religious leaders to preserve Earth's rapidly vanishing biodiversity.

When Ben Hewitt and his wife bought a sprawling acreage of field and forest in northern Vermont, they were eager to start a self-sustaining family farm. But over the years, the land became so much more than a building site; it became the birthplace of their two sons, the main source of family income and food, and even a classroom for their children. Through self-directed play, exploration, and experimentation on their farm, Hewitt's children learned how to play and read, test boundaries and challenge themselves, fail and recover.

From the cave walls at Lascaux to the last painting by Van Gogh, from the works of Shakespeare to those of Mark Twain, there is clear evidence that crows and ravens influence human culture. Yet this influence is not unidirectional, say the authors of this fascinating book: people profoundly influence crow culture, ecology, and evolution as well. John Marzluff and Tony Angell examine the often surprising ways that crows and humans interact. The authors contend that those interactions reflect a process of "cultural coevolution."

The complex ecosystem of the Amazon covers an area about the size of the continental US. Approximately one of every four flowering plant species on earth resides in the Amazon. A single Amazonian river may contain more fish species than all the rivers in Europe combined. The rain forest, which contains approximately 390 billion trees, plays a vital role in stabilizing the global climate by absorbing massive amounts of carbon dioxide - or releasing it into the atmosphere if the trees are destroyed.

This book is made up of 33 chapters. Each chapter is a different basketball question that needs to be answered. Some of them are obviously crucial (example: what's the most important NBA championship?) and some of them are secretly crucial (example: was Kobe Bryant a dork?). But all of them are approached in ways that (I hope you think) are smart and fun and nuanced. Also, you should know ahead of time that some of the pieces go a bit sideways sometimes, like the chapter that ends up just being the script of an action movie.
