Scientists have long attempted to understand Earth’s past, and in service to that effort, they have divided the world’s history into eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages. For example, the current eon is called the Phanerozoic Eon, which means “visible life”. This is the eon in which multicellular life has evolved and thrived. Before this, life was microscopic (single cells).

Gli etologi hanno a lungo biasimato le interpretazioni del comportamento animale in termini di emozioni umane, avvertendo che l'antropomorfizzazione limita la nostra capacità di comprendere gli animali nella loro vera natura. Cosa dobbiamo pensare, però, di fronte a una femmina di gorilla che piange per giorni la morte del suo piccolo? O di una femmina di elefante che si prende cura di un'altra più giovane, dopo che questa è stata ferita da un maschio violento? Non sono questi chiari esempi del fatto che gli animali possiedono emozioni riconoscibili e un'intelligenza morale?

On The Beginner s Guide to Animal Communication, author and teacher Carol Gurney brings nearly 20 years of experience in interpreting the language of animals to anyone seeking a heart-to-heart connection with...

La nostra vita, ci ricorda Bill Bryson, è il risultato di "una straordinaria dose di fortuna biologica", l'esito di una serie lunghissima di eventi, per molti versi assolutamente misteriosi. Questo libro prova a spiegare come un tale colpo di fortuna si sia potuto verificare.

"Ci troviamo di fronte a una catastrofe. Voglio che proviate la paura che provo io ogni giorno. Voglio che agiate come fareste in una situazione di crisi. Come se la vostra casa fosse in fiamme. Perché è quello che sta succedendo." Greta Thunberg ha parlato chiaro ai grandi del mondo e ha iniziato così la sua battaglia contro il cambiamento climatico, convinta che "nessuno è troppo piccolo per fare la differenza".

The year is 2393, and the world is almost unrecognizable. Clear warnings of climate catastrophe went ignored for decades, leading to soaring temperatures, rising sea levels, widespread drought, and the disaster now known as the Great Collapse of 2093. Dramatizing science in ways traditional nonfiction cannot, The Collapse of Western Civilization reasserts the importance of scientists and the work they do, providing a welcome moment of clarity amid the cacophony of climate-change literature. 

In May of 1963, Seattle mountaineer Jim Whittaker stepped into world history by becoming the first American to summit Mount Everest. More than 50 years later, he is still regarded as a seminal figure in North American mountaineering, as well as an astute businessman who helped create the outdoor recreation industry. A Life on the Edge: Memoirs of Everest and Beyond is Jim's courageous, no-punches-pulled autobiography and a look at a peripatetic, sometimes difficult life.

"Tutta la nostra scienza, in confronto con la realtà, è primitiva e infantile, e tuttavia è la cosa più preziosa che abbiamo". Albert Einstein
Massimo Polidoro, scrittore e divulgatore scientifico, ci conduce alla scoperta dei tanti modi in cui la scienza attraversa la nostra vita quotidiana, aiutandoci a capire quello che ognuno di noi dovrebbe conoscere.

Draghi, ciclopi, giganti, unicorni, fenici. Quando gli antichi si imbattevano in resti di animali sconosciuti, subito li attribuivano a creature fantastiche. Poi gli scienziati hanno dimostrato che si trattava solo di fantasie ancestrali: i mostri non esistono, oggi lo sappiamo tutti; eppure la spiegazione che gli studiosi hanno dato di quei reperti è stata addirittura più terrificante: prima di noi, una miriade di altri viventi abitava il nostro pianeta, ma ora non ci sono più. Sulla Terra, infatti, nulla è per sempre.

Hans Florine is a big-wall climbing legend in his own time. He holds the speed record on the Nose route of El Capitan, a 3,000-foot granite cliff in Yosemite Valley that's considered the Everest of the rock-climbing world. But Florine's story is not one of super-human athletic prowess; it's one of persistence and dogged determination. In 30 years of climbing, he's ascended the Nose a mind-blowing, death-defying 100 times, more than anyone else ever has, and most likely ever will. In On the Nose, Florine describes the most dangerous, pivotal, and inspirational of those climbs.

After accelerating their studies and graduating high school early, two teenagers set off from their hometown in Minnesota to embark on a 2,200-mile canoe journey up the heart of North America. Their destination: the permafrost shores of Hudson Bay. Inspired by a passion for the simple life, where gadgets and schedules are replaced by nature and its harsh beauty, the duo found something that many believe is lost: a true adventure.    

When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances. Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web. You’ll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life - not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

Most gardeners realize that plants need to be fed but know little to nothing about the nature of the nutrients involved or how they get into plants. Teaming with Nutrients explains how nutrients move into plants and what both macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients do once inside. It shows organic gardeners how to provide these essentials.
