Fungi can appear anywhere, from desert dunes to frozen tundra. They can invade our bodies and live between our toes or our floorboards. They are unwelcome intruders or vastly expensive treats, and symbols of both death and eternal life. But despite their familiar presence, there’s still much to learn about the eruption, growth, and decay of their secret interconnected world. From fields, feasts, and fairy rings to death caps, puffballs, and ambrosia beetles, this is an intoxicating journey into the life of an extraordinary organism, one that we have barely begun to understand.

An ode to paths and the journeys we take through nature, as told by a gifted writer who stopped driving and rediscovered the joys of traveling by foot.

In 1973, Norma Cobb, her husband Lester, and their five children pulled up stakes in the lower 48 and headed north to Alaska to follow a pioneer dream of claiming land under the Homestead Act. The only land available lay north of Fairbanks near the Arctic Circle where grizzlies outnumbered humans 20 to one. In addition to fierce winters and predatory animals, the Alaskan frontier drew the more unsavory elements of society's fringes. From the beginning, the Cobbs found themselves pitted in a life or death feud with unscrupulous neighbors who would rob from new settlers.

"Se si sta dentro un bosco in posizione di ascolto, prima o poi si avverte, si intuisce la presenza di un flusso di energia che circola tra i rami, le foglie, le radici. Talvolta è un sussurro, altre volte strepiti e grida. È come se le piante parlassero tra loro." Camminatore infaticabile e sensibilissimo osservatore della natura, Daniele Zovi, negli anni, questi suoni ha imparato ad ascoltarli e interpretarli.

¡Hakuna matata! La vida de los animales en el planeta no puede considerarse de película, o al menos no una apta para todos los públicos. Cada año, sesenta mil millones de animales terrestres y un billón (con b de barbaridad) de animales marinos son exterminados por el hombre para convertirse en comida o en ropa, o como una forma de diversión.

Come le piante navigano intorno al mondo, come portano la vita su isole sterili, come sono state in grado di crescere in luoghi inaccessibili e inospitali, come riescono a viaggiare attraverso il tempo, come convincono gli animali a farsi trasportare ovunque. Sono solo alcune delle incredibili storie raccontate da Stefano Mancuso.
