Story
We have long fantasized about finding life on planets other than our own. Yet even as we become aware of the vast expanses beyond our solar system, it remains clear that Earth is exceptional. The question is: Why? In Lucky Planet, astrobiologist David Waltham argues that Earth’s climate stability is what makes it uniquely able to support life, and it is nothing short of luck that made such conditions possible. The four-billion-year stretch of good weather that our planet has experienced is statistically so unlikely that chances are slim that we will ever encounter intelligent extraterrestrial others.

Story
Coursing through the Atlantic Ocean is a powerful current with a force 300 times that of the mighty Amazon. Ulanski explores the fascinating science and history of this sea highway known as the Gulf Stream, a watery wilderness that stretches from the Caribbean to the North Atlantic. Spanning both distance and time, Ulanski's investigation reveals how the Gulf Stream affects and is affected by every living thing that encounters it--from tiny planktonic organisms to giant bluefin tuna, from ancient mariners to big-game anglers.

Story
In Once and Future Giants, science writer Sharon Levy digs through the evidence surrounding Pleistocene large animal ("megafauna") extinction events worldwide, showing that understanding this history - and our part in it - is crucial for protecting the elephants, polar bears, and other great creatures at risk today. These surviving relatives of the Ice Age beasts now face an intensified replay of that great die-off, as our species usurps the planet's last wild places while driving a warming trend more extreme than any in mammalian history.

In 1999, few people had thought to examine the effects of climate on civilization. Now, due in part to the groundbreaking work of archaeologist Brian Fagan, climate change is a central issue. Revised and updated 10 years after its first publication, Floods, Famines and Emperors remains the definitive account of how the world's best-known climate event had an indelible impact on history.

What's the connection between a platter of jumbo shrimp at your local restaurant and murdered fishermen in Honduras, impoverished women in Ecuador, and disastrous hurricanes along America's Gulf coast? Mangroves. Many people have never heard of these salt-water forests, but for those who depend on their riches, mangroves are indispensable. In Let Them Eat Shrimp, Kennedy Warne takes listeners into the muddy battle zone that is the mangrove forest.

Climate change is a major topic of concern today and will be so for the foreseeable future, as predicted changes in global temperatures, rainfall, and sea level continue to take place. But as Jan Zalasiewicz and Mark Williams reveal in The Goldilocks Planet, the climatic changes we are experiencing today hardly compare to the changes the Earth has seen over the last 4.5 billion years.

As Holmes says, dust is a messenger, and air is its medium. And by the end of this fascinating journey through The Secret Life of Dust, we cannot help but agree.

Story
Carl Safina has been hailed as one of the top 100 conservationists of the 20th century (Audubon Magazine) and A Sea in Flames is his blistering account of the months-long manmade disaster that tormented a region and mesmerized the nation. Traveling across the Gulf to make sense of an ever-changing story and its often-nonsensical twists, Safina expertly deconstructs the series of calamitous misjudgments that caused the Deepwater Horizon blowout, zeroes in on BP’s misstatements, evasions, and denials, reassesses his own reaction to the government’s crisis handling, and reviews the consequences of the leak.

We have released the genie from the bottle: climate change is coming, and there's no stopping it. The question, according to Matthew Kahn, is not how were going to avoid a hotter future but how were going to adapt to it. In Climatopolis, Kahn, one of the worlds foremost experts on the economics of the environment, argues that cities and regions will adapt to rising temperatures over time, slowly transforming our everyday lives.

In Italia si sono verificati migliaia di terremoti di media e forte intensità. Quelli recenti dell'Aquila e della pianura Padana hanno provocato danni per miliardi di euro, e la perdita di molte vite umane. Pericolosità, vulnerabilità, esposizione, rischio sismico: nell'illustrare i significati di queste espressioni, l'audiolibro spiega come si origina un terremoto e come lo si misura, fornendo una panoramica sulle strutture che in Italia si occupano di monitorare questi fenomeni.

Scrigni preziosi provenienti dagli abissi del tempo profondo: grazie ai fossili il paleontologo - al pari di un investigatore sulla scena del delitto - può ricostruire i capitoli più remoti della storia della vita sul nostro pianeta. Semi, gusci, denti, ossa, ma anche indizi di azioni e spostamenti, come ad esempio le "piste" lasciate dal passaggio di molte specie di dinosauri, o i segni delle grandi estinzioni di massa fanno luce sui fragili equilibri che hanno caratterizzato la storia della Terra.

A volergli credere Esumim avrebbe partecipato a tutte le grandi migrazioni dell'umanità: "ci siamo divertiti - ripete sempre - non si stava mai fermi!". È l'immaginario testimone di un viaggio iniziato sei milioni di anni fa, il cui primo passo - quello di scendere dagli alberi - ha dato avvio alla lunga catena di migrazioni attraverso la quale i nostri antenati hanno colonizzato il pianeta. Quante umanità diverse - dagli Austrolopiteci a Neandertal, a Homo sapiens - si sono succedute e incrociate sulla Terra?

Siamo abituati a concepire la Storia come il susseguirsi sanguinoso di imperi e dinastie. Ma il cammino dell'uomo può essere studiato anche in ambiti specifici del suo ingegno - nell'arte, nella filosofia o nelle scienze. Questo audiolibro propone una chiave molto stimolante attraverso cui "ricapitolare" la storia dell'umanità: quella che vede l'essenza del nostro genere nell'"essere artefice". Perché, a pensarci bene, dietro ogni passo dell'uomo c'è sempre un'invenzione o un manufatto che ha avuto nei secoli imprevedibili sviluppi.

Story
La Terra è un minuscolo grumo di materia che si è generato nell’immensità dell’universo quasi 5 miliardi di anni fa. Da allora vaga per lo spazio-tempo, e da un po’ porta con sé un prezioso carico di vita, intelligenza e coscienza. Ma lei e il suo carico sono costantemente minacciati da esplosioni di supernove, impatti con grandi asteroidi, glaciazioni, eruzioni di supervulcani, megaterremoti e fiotti di raggi gamma. E di recente ci si sono messe anche bombe atomiche, crisi climatiche, pandemie e tante altre belle invenzioni dell’abitante principe del pianeta: l’umanità.

La situation n'est pas désespérée. La solution est en nous. Ça y est, nous avons dépassé le stade critique. Le dernier rapport du GIEC atteste que la vie sur terre deviendra à terme insoutenable. La cause : le réchauffement climatique que nous avons-nous-mêmes enclenché. Nous savons que nous sommes en perdition et nous ne réagissons pas. Pourquoi ? Sans qu'on le sache, se joue depuis des millénaires dans notre cerveau une terrible bataille. D'un côté il y a le striatum, petite structure nerveuse qui génère du plaisir. De l'autre il y a le cortex préfrontal, organe destiné à contrôler nos pulsions.

Sie war es, die ihm einst von rätselhaften Tiefseefischen erzählte und so die Neugier auf das Unerforschte weckte, die sein Schreiben bis heute prägt. Nach ihrem Tod begibt sich Svensson auf die Spuren ihrer gemeinsamen Faszination. Ausgehend von Ebbe und Flut erzählt er von den wundersamen Rhythmen der Natur, er folgt den Routen der alten Seefahrer und lauscht den Unterhaltungen der Pottwale.

Partiamo dall'Australia, che pur devastata da terribili roghi offre riserve naturali simili all'Eden, come Kangaroo Island o le Blue Mountains. Ammiriamo l'Indonesia, le sue isole mozzafiato punteggiate di vulcani, patria di animali a rischio di estinzione come gli orangutan e i draghi di Komodo.
