“Jeg ville ære dig med min huds ruhed, mine grænsers tykkelse og varmen fra mit eget fedt. Jeg ville ære dig med min stilhed og min vejrtrækning, min lytning længere og længere ud og ind. Jeg ville ære dig med langsomheden i mine eftertænksomme og yndefulde bevægelser. Jeg ville forsøge at være som dig, selvom de siger, at det er umoderne. Jeg vil huske dig. Ikke ved navnet på den, de siger “opdagede” dig, efter at oprindelige folk i generationer havde haft et forhold til dig. Jeg vil sige: Der var engang en enorm og tavs svømmer, en plantebaseret, ruhudet lytter, et tykt og yndefuldt pattedyr. Og så vil jeg være stille, så jeg kan høre dig ånde. Og så vil jeg trække vejret, og du vil minde mig om ikke at forcere det. Og tiden i mig vil dysses ned. Og så lytter vi for alvor.”Udruknet er en poetisk, alternativ guidebog medværkmeditationer, der optegner mulige forbindelseslinjer mellem Sort feminismes organisationsformer og havpattedyrs overlevelsesstrategier. Det er en bog om at lytte på en måde, der er dyb og revolutionær. Og om, at ingen er frie før alle er frie.

Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told - that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history & culture. In a book that will recalibrate our view of this defining feature of our planet, physicist Helen Czerski dives deep to illuminate the murky depths of the ocean engine, examining the messengers, passengers and voyagers that live in it, travel over it, and survive because of it. From the ancient Polynesians who navigated the Pacific by reading the waves to permanent residents of the deep such as the Greenland shark that can live for hundreds of years, she explains the vast currents, invisible ocean walls and underwater waterfalls that all have their place in the ocean's complex, interlinked system. Timely, elegant and passionately argued, Blue Machine presents a fresh perspective on what it means to be a citizen of an ocean planet. The understanding it offers is crucial to our future. Drawing on years of experience at the forefront of marine science, Helen Czerski captures the magnitude and subtlety of Earth's defining feature, showing us the thrilling extent to which we are at the mercy of this great engine. ................................... 'Helen Czerski weaves together physics and biology, history and science, in a beautifully poetic way.'Professor Alice Roberts

Twenty years ago, two empty-nesters with a love of the outdoors stumbled upon a vacant beach house on a small island in Clayoquot Sound, part of an off-grid, ten-acre stretch nestled within a provincial park reserve. Our Stolen Years in Clayoquot Sound is an extended love letter to this place, chronicling the decade John and Bea Dowd spent as year-round caretakers of the property.Told with humour and heart in alternating voices, and lavishly illustrated throughout with stunning natural photography, this book a story of joyful solitude, of living in harmony with wildlife and respecting the forces of nature. It is about the fleeting definition of home and family, and about creating community in the wilderness. Above all, it is a tribute to an achingly beautiful, fragile place.

Did you know the stonefish is the most venomous fish species to swim in our oceans? Better not get too close--it has 13 dorsal fin spines that release deadly toxins when the fish gets into threatening situations. In Sharks & Underwater Predators, you'll learn about the dwarf lantern shark, which is so small it can fit in the palm of your hand; the whale shark, which grows up to 40 feet in length and is the largest known fish species in the oceans today; the great white shark, the oceans' top predator and capable of chewing up dolphins and seals with its 300 teeth; and much more.

Med FISK – scaled-up får man et fuldstændig unikt billede af den dyregruppe, der befolker to tredjedele af vor klodes areal, her med specielt fokus på arter i danske farvande, og hvis livsbetingelser vi i højere og højere grad skal værne om. FISK – scaled-up er en reminder til os alle om deres skønhed og deres eksistensberettigelse.Bogens hovedattraktion er billederne, hvor Søren Skarbys objektiv har kunnet forstørre fiskene og tillade, at vi kommer helt, helt tæt på disse, overraskende, meget farvestrålende danske arter. Med sine utroligt skarpe og usædvanlige billeder og med tekstbeskrivelser af 27 danske fiskearter sættes der fokus på fisks skønhed og vores lokale havbiodiversitet. De 27 fotograferede arter repræsenterer de fleste fiskefamilier i både fersk- og saltvand herhjemme, og på den måde fortælles der om de fleste former for liv med finner i dansk farvand.Udgivelsen giver læseren mulighed for at se forskellige fiskearter med helt andre øjne og samtidigt læse en beskrivelse af hver enkelt art. Bogen er trykt med åben ryg (uden lim i ryggen), så fotografierne virkelig kommer til deres ret, når de breder sig over et helt opslag.Søren Skarby (f. 1964) er uddannet pressefotograf. Han har haft sin egen freelancevirksomhed siden 1990 primært med base i Svendborg, hvor han skriver og fotograferer for en lang række dag- og fagblade, magasiner, virksomheder og offentlige institutioner. Han har foretaget adskillige reportagerejser rundt i hele verden, men særligt Mellemøsten og Arktis har været et tilbagevendende rejsemål.

A riveting new exploration of the octopus from the world-leading scientific expert. For fans of Netflix's 'My Octopus Teacher' and Other Minds by Peter Godfrey-Smith.'Enchanting.' MAIL ON SUNDAY'Abounds with wonders.' KATHLEEN JAMIE, NEW STATESMAN'Brings the world of the octopus vividly alive... a sense of what it might be like to live in their skins.' FINANCIAL TIMES'The deepest of octopus books.' PETER GODFREY-SMITHAS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4'S TODAY PROGRAMME_________________What is it like to be an octopus?The octopus is a highly intelligent and deeply mysterious creature. It can change colour as quickly as it can move, 'think' with its tentacles and communicate in sophisticated ways.Marine biologist David Scheel's lifelong preoccupation with these animals has led to a career of groundbreaking research, from finding previously unknown species to the discovery of signaling communication. In Many Things Under a Rock, Scheel shares his deep scientific understanding of octopuses and recounts his intrepid adventures with these mysterious, charismatic creatures.He investigates four major mysteries about octopuses: what can we know about such elusive and camouflaged creatures? Why are they so extraordinarily resilient? How do their bodies work? And what kind of relationships do they have? In unravelling these mysteries, Dr Scheel shows octopuses to be complex emotional beings and reveals what they can teach us about ourselves.

"In this entertaining and informative book, science writer Till Hein shares the most tantalizing findings from the world of seahorses, opening up some of the secrets of these magical creatures of the sea. He reveals their intriguing biological features, such as their unique prehensile tails, their fins, and their lack of a stomach (seahorses only have intestines!). He speaks to experts about the fossil record of prehistoric seahorses, and examines their unique hunting strategy involving suction through their tubular (and toothless) snout. But the most unique aspect of the seahorses is their reproductive cycle, as it is the male of the species who becomes pregnant. Seahorses have become icons in feminist and transgender male communities for the way they can reshape human cultural notions of masculinity and fatherhood. Endlessly fascinating and charmingly approachable, The Curious World of Seahorses will captivate any reader looking to learn more about one of the most incredible creatures on Earth"--

Looking to the vast human history of water worship, a crucial study of our broken relationship with all things aquatic--and how we might mend it. Early human relationships with water were expressed through beliefs in serpentine aquatic deities: rainbow-colored, feathered or horned serpents, giant anacondas, and dragons. Representing the powers of water, these beings were bringers of life and sustenance, world creators, ancestors, guardian spirits, and lawmakers. Worshipped and appeased, they embodied people's respect for water and its vital role in sustaining all living things. Yet today, though we still recognize that "water is life," fresh- and saltwater ecosystems have been critically compromised by human activities. This major study of water beings and what has happened to them in different cultural and historical contexts demonstrates how and why some--but not all--societies have moved from worshipping water to wreaking havoc upon it and asks what we can do to turn the tide.
