In this lucid, inspiring essay, Alan Finkel maps Australia’s path forward. He explains the solar and wind revolution and addresses the challenge of intermittent supply. He introduces hydrogen, the energy hope of the future. He traces the rise and rise of the electric car. He shows how we can build a zero-emissions world.

The Wild Kindness: A Psilocybin Odyssey is the lyrical, unforgettable memoir of Bett Williams's relationship with psilocybin mushrooms, otherwise known as magic mushrooms. In pursuit of self-healing, she begins experimenting with mushrooms in solitary ceremonies by the fire. Word soon gets out about her New Mexican desert mushroom farm, though, and people arrive in droves. Not long after, the police read her her Miranda Rights, her relationships fall out of whack, and her dog Rosie just might be CIA.

Marine algae are the supreme eco-engineers of life: they oxygenate the waters, create habitat for countless other organisms, and form the base of a food chain that keeps our planet unique in the universe as we know it. In this audiobook Josie Iselin explores both the artistic and the biological presence of 16 seaweeds and kelps that live in the thin region where the Pacific Ocean converges with the North American continent - a place of incomparable richness.

Die Welt neu hören: Warum verbringt man acht Jahre damit, ein Foto von einer Antilope zu schießen? Wie kommt es dazu, dass ein gesamtes Dorf im Himalaya umziehen muss und was macht das mit den Bewohnern? Wodurch wird das Geldwesen in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo revolutioniert?

Die Tierfilmerin Rosie Koch verbringt viel Zeit in der Natur mit wilden Tieren. Manchmal schlafen die Tiere in ihrer Gegenwart sogar ein. Genau dieser Sound ist das Beste, was Menschen passieren kann, die nur schwer einschlafen. Eine US-Studie hat nämlich belegt, dass man mit Tieren im Schlafzimmer besser schlummert. Nichts ist beruhigender als ein schnarchender Dachs, ein schmatzendes Känguru oder ein träumender Labrador.

Sie möchten sich für die Umwelt engagieren, aber sehen den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht? Dann ist "Planet A" genau der richtige Podcast zum Einsteigen.

Wild elephants walking along a trail stop and spontaneously try to protect and assist a weak and dying fellow elephant. Laboratory rats, finding other rats caged nearby in distressing circumstances, proceed to rescue them. A chimpanzee in a zoo loses his own life trying to save an unrelated infant who has fallen into a watery moat.

In Nature’s Fortune, Mark Tercek, CEO of The Nature Conservancy and former investment banker, and science writer Jonathan Adams argue that nature is not only the foundation of human well-being, but also the smartest commercial investment any business or government can make. The forests, floodplains, and oyster reefs often seen simply as raw materials or as obstacles to be cleared in the name of progress are, in fact as important to our future prosperity as technology or law or business innovation.

Proper stewardship of natural assets and liabilities is a matter of planetary urgency: natural resources have the potential either to transform the poorest countries or to tear them apart, while the carbon emissions and agricultural follies of the rich world could further impoverish them. The Plundered Planet charts a course between unchecked profiteering on the one hand and environmental romanticism on the other to offer realistic and sustainable solutions to dauntingly complex issues.

Di che cosa abbiamo paura, quando parliamo di catastrofi? Quali sono le nostre paure ataviche rispetto alla Terra? E perché abbiamo paura quando non dovremmo e non ne abbiamo quando dovremmo? Questo audiolibro va al fondo delle nostre paure collettive, dalle alluvioni agli asteroidi, dalle eruzioni vulcaniche alle epidemie, con speciale attenzione ai terremoti, drammaticamente attuali. Il problema è che le catastrofi naturali non esistono, esistono gli eventi naturali che trasformiamo in tragedia, spesso grazie al linguaggio iperbolico dei media.

Per quanto incredibile ci possa sembrare, le piante sono in grado di provare un'ampia gamma di emozioni. E come è stato recentemente dimostrato, sanno anche, con mezzi dai più straordinari ai più semplici, trasmettere quello che provano. Si difendono, attaccano, siglano alleanze, cacciano, costruiscono, trascinano, comunicano a distanza le loro paure, le loro sofferenze e le loro gioie. Ora è dimostrato: ci percepiscono, ci riconoscono, ci considerano, reagiscono alle nostre emozioni ed esprimono le loro.

Stare all'aperto ci fa bene perché il nostro corpo, muovendosi nell'ambiente naturale, scarica elettricità statica, neutralizza tossine, dissolve ormoni dello stress, regolarizza le funzioni cardiocircolatorie. Gli innumerevoli benefici sono anche sul piano psicologico: scarichiamo emozioni, chiariamo la mente, rigeneriamo l'attenzione, prendiamo più efficacemente decisioni, elaboriamo soluzioni e idee. Proprio oggi dunque, che viviamo così lontani dai ritmi e dai modi con cui siamo cresciuti come specie, è necessario più che mai imparare ciò che la natura ha da insegnarci.

Il rapporto dell'uomo con la montagna è antichissimo. La montagna, spesso ostile e pericolosa, l'ha protetto dai pericoli, gli ha permesso di cogliere il mondo dall'alto, nel suo insieme, di guardare il cielo e sentirsi più vicino all'infinito. È il luogo in cui l'uomo ritrova sé stesso, spingendosi oltre i propri limiti, nella solitudine delle cime, pur in mezzo ai compagni di cordata. Questo audiolibro è un mosaico di storie di eroi che si sono distinti sulle vette più alte del mondo, realizzando imprese eroiche, salvataggi rischiosi.

At 28,251 feet, K2 might be almost 800 feet shorter than Everest, but it’s a far harder climb. It will kill you on the way up and the way down. Mick Conefrey guides us through the early story of the legendary mountain and the extraordinary attempts that led up to its first ascent in 1954 - these are tales of riveting drama and unimaginable tragedy.

Originally published in 1994, this book was a fly-fishing phenomenon in the way Howell Raines' Fly Fishing Through the Mid-Life Crisis was. Taking his fishing hobby to near metaphysical levels, Ted Leeson tells about his passions: rivers, trout, and fly fishing. With wry humor and rare insight, he explores questions that engage most fishermen: What is it about rivers that draws us so irresistibly, and why does fly fishing seem such an aptly suited response?

Beginning in his kayak in his home waters of eastern Long Island, Carl Safina's The View from Lazy Point takes us through the four seasons to the four points of the compass, from the high Arctic south to Antarctica, across the warm belly of the tropics from the Caribbean to the west Pacific, then home again.

Birds of a Feather is ultimately a love story between veterans and the birds they nurse back to health and between Dr. Lindner and her husband, a veteran with PTSD, who healed at Serenity Park. Full of remarkable people and colorful birds, this audiobook reminds us that we all have the power to make a difference.

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT )is the perfect place for an average person to do something extraordinary. Bill Walker ("Skywalker"), who stands 6'11", might seem like anything but average. Yet in a brutally honest tone, he lays to bare all his considerable weaknesses and fears. Among these are crushing weight loss and fatigue, along with a fear of getting lost or a bear stealing his food. Nonetheless, he is bound and determined to hike the PCT which - at 2,663 miles - runs all the way from Mexico to Canada.

In 1865 a broken Admiral Robert FitzRoy locked himself in his dressing room and cut his throat. His grand meteorological project had failed. Yet only a decade later, FitzRoy’s storm-warning system and ‘forecasts’ would return, the model for what we use today. In an age when a storm at sea was evidence of God’s great wrath, 19th-century meteorologists had to fight against convention and religious dogma.
