I 1960´erne blev Skjern Å lagt i lænker. Åen blev ført over i en nygravet kanal, og 4.000 hektar ferske enge fra Borris til Ringkøbing Fjord blev omdannet til gule kornmarker. Den snorlige å viste sig imidlertid at være en katastrofe for store dele af plante- og dyrelivet, og i 2003, efter 15 års stående duel mellem miljø- og landbrugsinteresser, lå ådalen genskabt med snoede åløb, enge og sumpe, Nordeuropas største genopretningsprojekt var afsluttet.Genslyngningen af Skjern Å gav eksperter fra vidt forskellige fagområder en enestående anledning til at undersøge området: Hvad betyder de ændrede levevilkår for plante- og dyrelivet i området? Hvilken politisk og kulturel betydning har Skjern Å-deltaget haft historisk set? Hvordan kunne Folketinget træffe to så modsatrettede beslutninger med kun 26 års mellemrum?Disse spørgsmål er centrale i "Skjern Å i fortid, nutid og mellemtid", der giver et samlet billede af Skjern ådalen fra bornzealderen og frem til i dag. Arkæologiske fund af grave, hjulspor, velbevarede kongelige laksegårde og broer præsenteres, ligesom økosystemets struktur, funktion og fremtidige vækstmulighed fremlægges i artikler om bl.a. den sjældne vandplante vandranke og den rødlistede laks - der i øvrigt havde kolossal politisk slagkraft. Ikke mindst optrevler flere eksperter den ophedede debat, det politisk spin og de skjulte dagsordener omkring afvandings- og genopretningsprojekterne far 1960´erne frem til i dag.

Islandske heste, de små seje, langhårede tøltere, sådan kender vi dem i dag - men hvad er det for en utrolig his-torie, hestene bærer på? For 1000 år siden kunne mannemlig møde heste, der ligner islænderen, som vi kender den i dag.Her fortælles historierne om de islandske heste fra de islandske skrifter. Magi og poesi veksler med grumme og voldsomme beretninger om hestene med den lange historie. Samtidig får vi en række kulturhistoriske fak-taoplysninger om navngivning, avl, ridning, gangarter, hestekampe, væddeløb, hesten i religiøs sammenhængog andre faktorer, der vedrører hestens betydning i vi-kingetiden.Der er to hensigter med bogen: Dels en genfortælling af decentrale beretninger fra sagaerne og Edda-skrifterne, hvor berømte heste indgår – men også en række mindre kendte fortællinger trækkes her frem i lyset – og dels, at afdække kulturhistoriske oplysninger om hestene, man kan udlede af kilderne.

Ferns are plants of discreet appearance and modest requirements; they have no showy flowers and generally lead an unobtrusive existence. However, to the attentive observer they have a special appeal, each species having its own personality, be it graceful, delicate, rugged, or bizarre. Their individual character is usually due to subtly transformed repetition, gradual elaboration or simplification of a characteristic basic form, leading to patterns of great elegance.Ferns are different from flowering plants in their dispersal and reproductive biology and this affects their role and possibilities in nature. Scandinavia offers a great variety of fern habitats and its Flora counts 72 species of ferns and fern-allies in addition several varieties and hybrids, many of them with remarkable life histories and adaptations to unusual environments. Most of the species are not restricted to Scandinavia, but several are particular to Scandinavia in a European context.This book is the first to be dedicated to the Scandinavian ferns and the so-called fern-allies. It aims to tell their natural history as well as asking some of the questions the ferns may give us. It includes numerous colour plates, virtually all painted from living plants in the natural habitats. Decides descriptions of the species and keys to identify them, the text also deals with the variability of the species, their reproduction, geographic distribution, ecology, practical and ritual uses, and the origin and meaning of names, often reflecting old superstition and folklore. The book aims to convey the enjoyable and interesting experiences one may have with these fascinating plants, to give insight in their life histories, and, hopefully, to inspire the reader to go out and discover.Table of contents: Introduction - Descriptions of the families and species - Lycopodiaceae – Selaginellaceae - Isoëtaceae - Equisetaceae – Ophioglossaceae – Osmundaceae - Adiantaceae – Polypodiaceae – Hymenophyllaceae – Dennstaedtiaceae – Thelypteridaceae – Aspleniaceae – Woodsiaceae – Dryopteridaceae – Blechnaceae – Marsileaceae – Azollaceae – Glossary – Literature references – Index.Soft cover, 318 pages including an index.

(born 1949), was associate professor at the Institute of Biological Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark (today: Emeritus, department of Bioscience). He has taught university courses on taxonomic and general botany, on plant geography and trophical botany. His research deals mainly with the biology, geography, and taxonomy of the ferns and fern allies, particularly the family Lycopodiaceae, and with the composition and structure of tropical forests, particularly the montane forests of Ecuador. He has undertaken extensive fieldwork in Ecuador as well as in Scandinavia, and carried out research at several botanical institutions in Europe and the United States.The artist, Kirsten Tind, born in Copenhagen 1943, has studied botanical illustration at the Hunt Library for Botanical Documentation, Pittsburgh, USA.Over the years she has made numerous botanical illustrations in scientific journals and books, and in “Den store Danske Encyclopædi” (22 volumes).

Additionally, she has contributed with some of the line drawings in the Danish flora book, “Dansk Feltflora” and numerous other publications.

Høns er helt klart verdens mest almindelige fugle. Der findes tre gange flere høns end mennesker på jorden. På trods af det, og på trods af at næsten alle mennesker spiser deres æg og deres afkom, er det de færreste, der ved hvilke fantastiske væsner de i virkeligheden er. Deres verden er så meget rigere end vores, når det gælder farver, lyde og dufte, som vi ikke selv kan opfatte. De har et af verdens mest omfattende og nuancerede sprog med masser af lyde for forskellige situationer. Desuden er de hverken forvirrede eller dumme, som mange ellers påstår.Udsprunget af Sydøstasiens junglehøns er det en af de fuglearter, der lever i livslange, sociale familiegrupper. Og de er meget klogere end deres rygte siger. Samtidig behandles de som fabriksprodukter i de gigantiske æg- og kyllingefabrikker rundt omkring i verden.I “Verdens mest almindelige fugl” giver Per Jensen en levende og kærlig beskrivelse af hønsenes ukendte sider.PER JENSEN er professor i etologi og har selv haft høns i fyrre år. I årtier har han udforsket deres adfærd sammen med sin forskergruppe ved Linköpings universitet. Han benyttes ofte som foredragsholder og spreder med stor entusiasme viden om de seneste forskningsresultater. Per har tidligere skrevet flere bøger, der er oversat til dansk og udgivet på Forlaget Tro-fast, f.eks. Dyrenes følelser og vores følelser for dyr”.

Stenjagt, som alle kan deltage iAlle de sten, vi finder på stranden i dag, er blevet transporteret hertil af gletsjere under istiden. Bag hver eneste strandsten gemmer sig mangemillioner eller milliarder års skabelseshistorie, der fører langt, langt tilbage i Jordens urtid. Nogle sten er resultatet at urgamle processer dybt, dybt inde i Jordens indre, mens andre for eksempel kan være dannet på en gammel havbund og indeholde fossiler af fortidens dyr.I denne bog fortæller geolog og museumsinspektør ved Geomuseum Faxe, Jesper Milàn, enkelt og overskueligt Jordens og stenenes historie.Bogen indeholder også en gennemgang af de sten, man typisk finder på de danske strande: sandsten, konglomerater, skifer, lerjernsten, kalksten, cementsten, granitter, basalter, diabaser, porfyrer, ignimbritter, gnejser, øjegnejser, amfibolitter, hornfelser, sten med sprækker og knusninger, breccier, flintesten, pyritter, kvarts og kvartssten og endelig rav, der har gjort sig fortjent til at være med, fordi det findes blandt strandstenene.Foruden gode fotos, der gør det nemt at identificere de forskelligebjergarter, er bogen forsynet med oversigter og kort, der illustrerer stenenes fascinerende historie.

Teorien om Big Bang er den bedste model, vi i øjeblikket har om universets skabelse; men det betyder ikke, at det er den endelige sandhed. Men hvorfor er der stort set enighed om, at universet for 13,7 milliarder år siden blev skabt af en tætpakket klump, der rummede al energi og alt stof? Og eksisterede der noget inden Big Bang? Astrofysikeren Anja C. Andersen formidler teorier og forskningsresultater udogmatisk og letforståeligt.
