Der Wald tut uns gut, das spüren wir intuitiv. Doch was bisher mehr ein Gefühl war, belegt jetzt die Wissenschaft. Sie erforscht das heilende Band zwischen Mensch und Natur, das einen viel stärkeren Effekt auf uns hat, als wir bisher dachten. So kommunizieren Pflanzen mit unserem Immunsystem, ohne dass es uns bewusst wird, und stärken dabei unsere Widerstandskräfte. Bäume sondern unsichtbare Substanzen ab, die gegen Krebs wirken.

The stars and constellations are among the few remaining objects that appear to us just as they appeared to our distant ancestors. From anywhere on Earth, a person may view the celestial panorama simply by stepping outside at night and gazing upward. This nonfiction narrative presents the tales of the 48 classical constellations, compiled from literature spanning a thousand years from Homer to Claudius Ptolemy. These age-old tales have captured the human imagination from ancient times to the present.

American children today spend 90 percent less time playing outdoors than their parents did; instead they spend an average of seven hours a day interacting with a screen. Scott Sampson asserts that not only does exposure to nature help relieve stress, depression, and attention deficits, but it also reduces bullying and helps boost academic scores. Even more important are the long-term benefits linked to cognitive, emotional, and moral development.

Every great drink starts with a plant. Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley.

Almost all environmental books treat the environmental crisis as though humans are in charge of nature, rather than part of it. The Earth and I is the first book to put all preconceived notions aside and to ask, naïvely: Who are we really? What is our relationship to the earth? How is it possible that we, out of all the millions of species, have come to destroy our common home? The answers are surprising and have far-reaching implications for those searching for solutions.

Parlare di montagna equivale a parlare dell'intera esistenza, e di come in essa si intende prendere posto. E amare la montagna significa stare al mondo con franchezza, desiderio di avventura, accortezza e spirito di solidarietà, rispetto per la vita in tutte le sue manifestazioni. Mauro Corona e Matteo Righetto danno voce a ciò che per loro la montagna rappresenta, attingendo a un ricchissimo tesoro di esperienze personali, qui condensate in brevi racconti, epigrammi fulminanti, descrizioni di paesaggi naturali di bellezza inesprimibile.

In Your Dog Is Your Mirror, dog trainer Kevin Behan proposes a radical new model for understanding canine behavior: a dog’s behavior and emotion, indeed its very cognition, are driven by our emotion. The dog doesn’t respond to its owner based on what the owner thinks, says, or does; it responds to what the owner feels. And in this way, dogs can actually put people back in touch with their own emotions.
