Story
In recent years, scientists have hypothesized life-forms that can only be called "weird": organisms that live off acid rather than water, microbes that thrive at temperatures and pressure levels so extreme that their cellular structures should break down, perhaps even organisms that reproduce without DNA. Some of these strange life-forms, unrelated to all life we know, might be nearby: on rock surfaces in the American southwest, hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, or even in our own bodies. Some, stranger still, might live in Martian permafrost, swim in the dark oceans of Jupiter's moons, or survive in the exotic ices on comets.

Story
After the death of his brother and the sudden end of his marriage, and after his ex-wife moved to another state leaving him alone with their two young children, Dan Glick embarked on single fatherhood in an unusual way: he took his kids on a journey around the world. The idea was to go see some of the world's rare life forms before they disappeared from the planet, and to do it before the kids themselves would grow up and chart their own paths.

Bottled water is on the verge of becoming the most popular beverage in the country. But what's the cost of all this water for us and for the environment? In this eye-opening book, Elizabeth Royte does for water what Michael Pollan did for food: She examines the people, machines, economies, and cultural trends that surround it on its journey from distant aquifers to our supermarkets and homes.

Did you know that bats compose their own songs? That mice giggle when tickled? Or that lizards do push-ups to seduce a mate, that elephants ‘hear’ through their feet, or that rats laugh? Drawing upon the latest scientific research, we see how animals build, create, and entertain themselves and others; how animal ‘friends’ keep in touch; and how some animals problem-solve more effectively than humans. The result is a thrilling scientific exploration that unlocks the secret lives of the animal world.

Leaving from Brooklyn, New York, in August 1911, John Muir, at the age of seventy-three and traveling alone, embarked on an eight-month, 40,000-mile voyage to South America and Africa. The 1911-12 journals and correspondence reproduced in this volume allow us to travel with him up the great Amazon, into the jungles of southern Brazil, to snowline in the Andes, through southern and central Africa to the headwaters of the Nile, and across six oceans and seas in order to reach the rare forests he had so long wished to study.

Story
James Dearsley’s wife thought he had lost his mind when he announced his intention to become a beekeeper. But like many interested in the self-sufficient lifestyle, he loved gardening and growing vegetables on his allotment and the old romantic in him had idealistic notions of teaching his little boy where honey came from, so he set himself what seemed a reasonable goal: to get, in a year’s time, just one jar of honey.

Story
The incredible story of a flood of near-Biblical proportions - its destruction, its heroes and victims, and how it shaped America’s natural-disaster policies for the next century. The storm began March 23, 1913, with a series of tornadoes that killed 150 people and injured 400. Then the freezing rains started and the flooding began. It was the nation’s most widespread flood ever - more than 700 people died, hundreds of thousands of homes and buildings were destroyed, and millions were left homeless.

Story
Casey Anderson, the host of National Geographic’s Expedition Grizzly, met a month-old bear cub in a wildlife preserve in 2002, whom he affectionately named Brutus. Little Brutus was destined to remain in captivity or, more likely, even euthanized due to overpopulation at the preserve. Anderson, already an expert in animal rescue and rehabilitation, just could not let that happen to Brutus, who looked like a "fuzzy Twinkie."

Story
When houses are flattened, towns submerged, and people stranded without electricity or even food, we attribute the suffering to "natural disasters" or "acts of God." But what if they're neither? What if we, as a society, are bringing these catastrophes on ourselves? That's the provocative theory of Catastrophe in the Making, the first audiobook to recognize Hurricane Katrina not as a "perfect storm," but a tragedy of our own making - and one that could become commonplace.

In Italia si sono verificati migliaia di terremoti di media e forte intensità.

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.

Barcellona, Manchester o Salonicco, Torino, Bari o Genova: cosa hanno in comune queste città? Il fatto che possono essere considerate smart, misurandole con diversi parametri che vanno dai trasporti all'istruzione, dalla sanità alla sostenibilità ambientale all'innovazione tecnologica. Smart city è dunque una definizione complessa cha allude ad una trasformazione delle nostre attuali città con l'obiettivo non solo del superamento delle emergenze energetiche ed ambientali, ma anche della qualità del vivere per il cittadino e per la comunità, sul piano sociale ed economico.

Quella che un tempo era la cenerentola dei servizi pubblici è diventato uno dei problemi più pressanti del nostro tempo. Oggi i rifiuti evocano veleno e distruzione dell'ambiente; ogni italiano ne produce circa 1 kg e mezzo al giorno, di cui una buona parte finisce in discariche in via di esaurimento, quantità crescenti ma insufficienti vengono recuperate, e altre fanno perdere le tracce in modi alquanto sospetti.

Dallo stadio iniziale, caldissimo, circa 4,56 miliardi di anni fa, la Terra si sta lentamente raffreddando. Il rapporto che la lega all'uomo si fa ogni giorno più intenso: crescita demografica e sviluppo tecnologico richiedono un maggiore sviluppo delle fonti energetiche e un aumento dell'approvvigionamento di acqua e cibo. Capire come funziona il nostro pianeta è indispensabile per poterne utilizzare le risorse in modo sostenibile e per difendersi dai rischi naturali.

Dall'Etna all'hawaiano Kilauea, dal Vesuvio all'islandese Eyjafjallajökull, la storia dei vulcani parla di eventi catastrofici, ma anche di convivenze e sviluppo di grandi civiltà: la loro pericolosità non ha infatti mai impedito all'uomo di tornare a vivere in aree devastate da un'eruzione. L'audiolibro ci fa scoprire e amare i giganti di fuoco spiegandoci come la loro storia sia indissolubilmente legata a quella della vita sulla terra, quale influenza abbiano sul clima globale, come interagiscano con l'ambiente e come possano rappresentare una risorsa.
