Patagonia. The name connotes the exotic and a distance that seems nearly mythical. Tucked toward the toe of South America, this largely unsettled landscape is among the most varied and breathtaking in the world - aching in its beauty as it sweeps from the Andes through broad, arid steppes to pristine beaches and down to a famously violent sea. It is also home to a vast array of rare wildlife as diverse and fascinating as the region itself.

Who were the first humans to inhabit North America? According to the now familiar story, mammal hunters entered the continent some 12,000 years ago via a land bridge that spanned the Bering Sea. The presence of these early New World people was established by distinctive stone tools belonging to the Clovis culture. But are the Clovis tools Asian in origin? Drawing from original archaeological analysis, paleoclimatic research, and genetic studies, noted archaeologists Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley challenge the old narrative.

Throughout Lewis and Clark for Dummies, you find out about Jefferson's western exploration from his earliest efforts to see the Corps assembled through the aftermath for the explorers, the tribes, and the United States. But the focus of Lewis & Clark for Dummies is on the period between Jefferson's confidential letter to Congress requesting dollars to mount a western exploration (January 18,1803) and the expedition's triumphant (and improbable) return to St. Louis (September 23, 1806): 42 months that changed the world.

Frank Ledwidge offers a sweeping look at the history of air warfare, introducing the major battles, crises, and controversies where air power has taken center stage and exploring the changes in technology and air power capabilities over time. Considering whether bombing has ever been truly effective, he discusses whether wars can be won from the air and concludes by analyzing whether there is a future for manned air power, or if it is inevitable that drones will dominate 21st-century war in the air.

Ireland has tended to think of itself as a ‘Goldilocks’ country: not too hot, not too cold, and well positioned to ride out the climate emergency. But this is a fantasy: the effects of climate change in Ireland will be profound, and at the moment we’re not doing nearly enough about it. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Ireland has the wherewithal to dramatically cut its emissions while making itself far more resilient. This book shows how it can be done.

Saviez-vous que les dinosaures vivaient partout sur la Terre, de l'Alaska à l'Antarctique ? Que loin d'être des « reptiles stupides », certains étaient des animaux communautaires capables de vivre en meute, de communiquer ou de prodiguer des soins parentaux ? À l'aide d'exemples choisis parmi les découvertes et interprétations les plus récentes, cet ouvrage fait revivre, sous nos yeux, un monde disparu. Il raconte le travail passionnant des chercheurs du monde entier, qui, grâce aux nouvelles techniques mises à leur disposition (géochimie, synchrotron, intelligence artificielle...

All of life is profoundly shaped by the daily, monthly, and yearly cycles of our planet, and all creatures have internal timekeeping systems that rely on cues from the surrounding environment. With modern technology, we are changing our environments—and by proxy, the ecosystems around us—to override these innate rhythms of life. But at what cost? Life in Sync reveals how Earth’s rotations shape our biology, what human sleep cycles looked like before the advent of artificial light, and why technology can’t free us from the constraints of our circadian clocks.

Welcome to A Radical Act of Hope. In this series, Inuk climate advocate Siila Watt-Cloutier brings us into her world. A world where melting ice isn’t just a symptom of climate change—it’s a disruption of memory, identity, and rhythms of life in the North. She takes us from her home in the Arctic to the frontlines of international climate justice, alongside those who have been speaking up—and holding steady—for decades. Siila Watt-Cloutier is one of the most important climate justice voices of our time. Her work with the Inuit Circumpolar Council helped get the Stockholm Convention ...

Carbon Compass is a podcast by Brundtland that breaks down the fast-evolving world of carbon markets and carbon finance. Rooted in South Africa but globally relevant, we explore how carbon credits can be leveraged as a catalyst for meaningful climate action. Through expert-led conversations, we unpack the mechanics, opportunities, and challenges of navigating a carbon-constrained world — for policymakers, project developers, and the climate-conscious.

In Earth, a planetary scientist and a literary humanist explore what happens when we think of the Earth as an object viewable from space. As a “blue marble,” “a blue pale dot,” or, as Chaucer described it, “this litel spot of erthe,” the solitary orb is a challenge to scale and to human self-importance. Beautiful and self-contained, the Earth turns out to be far less knowable than it at first appears: its vast interior an inferno of incandescent and yet solid rock and a reservoir of water vaster than the ocean, a world within the world.

While destructive tornadoes most often make the headlines, all this excessive energy in the atmosphere can result in a spectacle of other wonders that leave us in awe. Not only is nature’s fury amplified with these explosive storms, so is its beauty and power, and that’s exactly what veteran storm chaser “Pecos” Hank Schyma celebrates in STORM. Bringing together the science of storms with Hank’s greatest storm chasing moments, STORM takes you on a captivating journey of the planet’s wildest weather systems.

Das Thema Nachhaltigkeit betrifft Universitäten in verschiedener Weise. Sie können einerseits diese Themen in Forschung und Lehre aufgreifen und als Multiplikatoren wirken, sind aber andererseits selbst für Emissionen verantwortlich. Die Universität als Raum der Ideen ist der richtige Ort, um sich mit diesen Themen zu beschäftigen und sie gleichzeitig auf die praktische Handlungsebene herunterzubrechen. Das Sustainability Management koordiniert die Nachhaltigkeitsprojekte an der Zeppelin Universität und ist verantwortlich für die Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung. In diesem Podcast ...
