The last decade has seen an explosion of urban beekeeping in the US, Canada, and Europe, a well-intentioned response to perceived threats to the global honey bee population. Many thousands of people have taken up this seemingly environmentally friendly hobby, tending backyard and rooftop hives (or paying a company to do so) and encouraging honey bees to make honey and pollinate flowers. What could be wrong with that? Quite a lot, in fact. In The Honey Trap, scientist and author Dana Church demonstrates that despite reports to the contrary, honey bees are nowhere near extinction.

YUCK is a prismatic collage, a poetic wandering, a compact history of the West as twisted and weird and ominous and beautiful as the plant it obsesses over. From divine providence to gaseous landfill to Instagram paradise, Yuck deftly traces the modern history of a small patch of desert to leave us with a big warning about America's demented relationship with the land.

Douglas Adams a "Galaxis Útikalauz"-trilógiával milliókkal szerettette meg az időben és térben való bolyongást. Az "Utoljára látható" folytatja ezt az utat, de a hely ezúttal a Föld, az idő a jelen és minden egyes szó igaz. A hangoskönyvet hallgatva csatlakozhatunk a népszerű íróhoz és társához, Mark Carwardine zoológushoz, amint bebarangolják a világot 1985 és 1990 között, különleges és veszélyeztetett állatfajok után kutatva. A könyv egy túláradóan vidám útleírás és egy szívszaggató helyeket bemutató természetkönyv elegye.

Twice declared extinct, North America's most endangered mammal species, the black-footed ferret (BFF), is making a comeback thanks to an evolving conservation regimen at more than thirty reintroduction sites across the continent. Lawrence Lenhart lingers at one such site in his proverbial backyard, the Aubrey Valley in northern Arizona.

The stories we usually tell ourselves about climate change tend to focus on the damage inflicted on human societies by big storms, severe droughts, and rising sea levels. But the most powerful impacts are being and will be felt by the natural world and its myriad species, which are already in the midst of the sixth great extinction. Rising temperatures are fracturing ecosystems that took millions of years to evolve, disrupting the life forms they sustain--and in many cases driving them towards extinction. The natural Eden that humanity inherited is quickly slipping away.

Das Artensterben läuft, doch viele Tiere haben Strategien zum Überleben entdeckt. Ob etwa Quallen, die Atomkraftwerke lahm legen; Krähen, die Fensterdichtungen heraushacken; Elefanten, die sich in Gangsterbanden organisieren; oder Straßenhunde, die mit der U-Bahn zu ihrer Arbeit als Wegelagerer fahren - die Tierwelt schlägt zurück, und manche Menschen fühlen sich bedroht.
