Vilde dyr: pattedyr: for alment interesserede læsere

For første gang et værk om samtlige danske pattedyr – til lands, til vands og i luften. Deres udbredelse, biologi og levevis beskrevet og rigt illustreret med kort, tegninger og fotos. Værket er baseret på over 4000 frivilliges indsamling af data for samtlige 88 danske pattedyrarter.

Den første nye håndbog om nordens pattedyr i mange år beskriver og illustrerer alle de 118 pattedyrarter, der findes i Norden i dag – både oprindeligt hjemmehørende, udsatte og indslæbte arter.PATTEDYR I NORDEN giver dig en række let tilgængelige bestemmelsesnøgler baseret på fotos og tegninger. Nøglerne gør det muligt at finde frem til navnet på et dyr, du kun fik set i et kort glimt af mellem skovens træer eller hjælper dig til at finde ophavsdyret til eksempelvis fodspor, ædespor og rester i uglegylp.Hver art illustreres og beskrives med navne, kendetegn, forvekslingsmuligheder, levested og udbredelse, føde og levevis. Desuden gives der praktiske anvisninger på, hvordan du finder frem til dyret eller spor efter det.

New from the author of acclaimed bestseller The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs ("A masterpiece of science writing" ?Washington Post) and ?one of the stars of modern paleontology? (National Geographic), a sweeping and revelatory history of mammals, illuminating the lost story of the extraordinary family tree that led to us We humans are the inheritors of a dynasty that has reigned over the planet for nearly 66 million years, through fiery cataclysm and ice ages: the mammals. Our lineage includes saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, armadillos the size of a car, cave bears three times the weight of a grizzly, clever scurriers that outlasted Tyrannosaurus rex, and even other types of humans, like Neanderthals. Indeed humankind and many of the beloved fellow mammals we share the planet with today?lions, whales, dogs?represent only the few survivors of a sprawling and astonishing family tree that has been pruned by time and mass extinctions. How did we get here?In his acclaimed bestseller The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs?hailed as ?the ultimate dinosaur biography? by Scientific American?American paleontologist Steve Brusatte enchanted readers with his definitive his - tory of the dinosaurs. Now, picking up the narrative in the ashes of the extinction event that doomed T-rex and its kind, Brusatte explores the remarkable story of the family of animals that inherited the Earth?mammals? and brilliantly reveals that their story is every bit as fascinating and complex as that of the dinosaurs.Beginning with the earliest days of our lineage some 325 million years ago, Brusatte charts how mammals survived the asteroid that claimed the dinosaurs and made the world their own, becoming the astonishingly diverse range of animals that dominate today's Earth. Brusatte also brings alive the lost worlds mammals inhabited through time, from ice ages to volcanic catastrophes. Entwined in this story is the detective work he and other scientists have done to piece together our understanding using fossil clues and cutting-edge technology.A sterling example of scientific storytelling by one of our finest young researchers, The Rise and Reign of the Mammals illustrates how this incredible history laid the foundation for today's world, for us, and our future.

Velkommen til “Din grå nabo – et portræt af ulven”Ulven, majestætisk og gådefuld, har altid spillet en central rolle i vores for-tælling om både dyr, natur og mennesker. Ulven er et symbol på styrke og frihed, men dens tilstedeværelse som stort rovdyr nær by og mindre samfund har også udfordret vores forståelse og accept. Men selvom ulvens plads i det moderne samfund ofte er til debat, er der også stigende fokus på ulvens rolle i økosystemet og dermed på vigtigheden i at bevare dens plads i naturen. Også i den nære natur, som vi færdes i dagligt. Det er nemlig her, vi finder en meget stor del af Europas ulve. Måske endda de fleste, når alt kommer til alt. Ulven har nemlig tilpasset sig et liv i vores skygge og er blevet en slags genbo eller måske ligefrem nabo. “Din grå nabo – et portræt af ulven” ser ikke kun på ulven som et toprovdyr i Europa. Kapitel for kapitel dykkes der også ned i forholdet mellem ulve og mennesker, fra dens dybe rødder i vores fælles historie til dens rolle i den aktuelle naturstrategi.Ulven fortsætter nemlig med at være kilde til undren, respekt og diskussion. Ulvebogen er dog ikke en debatbog. Det er et faktuelt og visuelt oplysnings-værk, der kommer rundt omkring ulven i Europa og til dels også andre steder i verden, hvor der lever varianter af ulven. Når den sidste side i bogen er vendt, er man forhåbentligt blevet klogere på ulven og den verden, som den lever i.God fornøjelse!

Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known.In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear's story, whisking readers from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts-the head of a rescue centre for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China's panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns-to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations.Weaving together ecology, history, mythology and a captivating account of her travels and observations, Dickie offers a closer look at our volatile relationship with these magnificent mammals. Engrossing and deeply reported, Eight Bears delivers a clear warning for what we risk losing if we don't learn to live alongside the animals that have shaped our cultures, geographies and stories.

In this sequel, Kaniut takes us from the farthest reaches of the Alaska wilderness, right around the corner of familiar urban settings where man and bear face off with unpredictable outcomes. "The bear charged forward, grabbing me by my lower right leg as he ran by. He picked me up, swung me over his head, and actually threw me like I was a feather pillow. I landed on a rock several feet away, barely hitting the ground before the bear was on top of me, chewing my upper right leg." From backyard to backcountry, from the gruesome to the educational, More Alaska Bear Tales is a vintage Alaska adventure.

In Bear Tales for the Ages: From Alaska and Beyond, best-selling author Larry Kaniut serves up twenty-eight riveting stories of encounters with this four-legged wonder of the woods, selected from a vast collection of bear books in the author's personal library.

"Called the Jane Goodall of wolves, world-renowned wildlife biologist Diane Boyd has spent four decades studying and advocating for wolves in the wilds of Montana near Glacier National Park. When she started in the 1970s, she was the only female biologist in the United States researching and radio-collaring wild wolves. With her two dogs for company, she faced the rigors of the Montana winter in an isolated cabin without running water or electricity. Boyd fearlessly forded icy rivers, strapped on skis to navigate thick stands of lodgepole pine, and monitored packs from the air in a tiny bush plane that skimmed the treetops so she could count wolves and see what they were feeding on. She faced down grizzly bears, mountain lions, wolverines -- and the occasional trapper -- as she stalked her quarry: a handful of wolves that were making their way south from Canada into Montana. Resilient and resourceful, she devised her own trapping methods and negotiated with locals as wolf populations grew from the first natural colonizer to more than 3,000 wolves in the West today. In this captivating book, Boyd takes the reader on a wild ride from the early days of wolf research to the present-day challenges of wolf management across the globe, highlighting her interactions with an apex predator that captured her heart and her undying admiration. Her writing resonates with her indomitable spirit as she explores the intricate balance of human and wolf coexistence."--
