Produktinformationen "Von schrumpfenden Tintenfischen und windfesten Eidechsen"

Das Wissensbuch des Jahres 2023 in der Kategorie ZÜNDSTOFF und die Leseempfehlung der NY Times
'Alarmistische Töne und Besserwisserei hat der Biologe nicht nötig. Er beeindruckt durch seine mitreißende, mitfühlende und humorvolle Erzählweise, die Leserinnen und Leser klüger und hoffentlich auch einsichtiger macht.' (Jury zum Wissensbuch des Jahres 2023)

Über die faszinierende Wechselbeziehung von Klimakrise und EvolutionWir wissen, die Anpassung an den menschgemachten Klimawandel ist ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit - dabei ist die Natur uns mitunter schon einige große Schritte voraus. Von gefräßigen Borkenkäfern, die dank gestiegener Temperaturen heute ganze Wälder bedrohen, bis zu Eidechsen, denen die Evolution mehr Griffkraft bescherte, damit sie nicht von immer häufiger auftretenden Tropenstürmen weggeweht werden: Während wir noch diskutieren, sind die Antworten der Natur auf den Klimawandel bereits in vollem Gang - und dabei ebenso beunruhigend wie auch faszinierend. Feinfühlig und nuanciert, legt Naturschutzbiologe Thor Hanson die oft im verborgenen liegenden Geschichten vom Kampf der Natur gegen ein sich rapide änderndes Klima offen. Eine Reise an die Schauplätze des biologischen Wandels, welche die Konsequenzen der globalen Erwärmung unmittelbar greifbar macht und erahnen lässt, welche Tragweite unsere Entscheidungen für das Leben auf dem Planeten haben.

The Triumph of Seeds
A natural and human history of seeds, the marvels of the plant kingdom.  <BR><BR>"The genius of Hanson's fascinating, inspiring, and entertaining book stems from the fact that it is not about how all kinds of things grow from seeds; it is about the seeds themselves." -New York Times Book Review<BR><BR>We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life: supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and pepper drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed spark the Industrial Revolution. Seeds are fundamental objects of beauty, evolutionary wonders, and biological linchpins. Yet, despite their importance, seeds are often seen as commonplace, their extraordinary natural and human histories overlooked. Thanks to this stunning book, they can be sidelined no more.The Triumph of Seeds is a book of knowledge, adventure, and wonder, spun by an award-winning writer with both the charm of a fireside storyteller and the hard-won expertise of a field biologist. A fascinating scientific adventure, it is essential reading for anyone who loves to see a plant grow.
