Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk).

Zwei Werke von Henry David Thoreau: Im Jahr 1849 schrieb er seinen weltberühmten Essay über die Pflicht zum Ungehorsam gegen den Staat. In diesem stellte er sich außerhalb einer Gesellschaft, die, obwohl auf den Prinzipien der Freiheit und Gleichheit aller gegründet, nicht in der Lage war, die Sklaverei abzuschaffen. Ungekürzte Lesung (Tracks 1 - 14). Fünf Jahre später folgte Walden oder Das Leben in den Wäldern - seit langem DAS Buch für Aussteiger, Frugalisten, Konsumverweigerer - oder auch ganz einfach nur Naturliebhaber.

Dazu leiht ihnen Deutschlands berühmtester Förster seine Stimme: Erstmals lässt er eine 250 Jahre alte Buche berichten, was ihr im Laufe der Zeit – vom Samen bis zum Giganten des Waldes – widerfährt.

In this book, Aaron Simmons takes us on a trip to the mountains to reflect on the meaning of life.

Simmons invites us to rethink what it means to make choices, take risks, be alone and silent while cultivating friendships, and to find our calling by facing our vulnerability.
