  • - Et opgør med tidens CO2-panik
    af Johannes Krüger
    137,95 kr.

    De dystre forudsigelser om en forestående klimakatastrofe dyrkes i dag som en religion. Med FNs klimapanel som det øverste præsteskab og CO2-kvoter som moderne aflad. Men hvad nu hvis der ikke er nogen videnskabeligt bevislig sammenhæng mellem drivhusgasser, temperaturstigninger, vildt vejr og smeltende gletsjere? Hvad nu hvis klimaet forandrer sig, ligesom det altid har gjort – uanset hvad mennesker gør? I denne øjenåbnende og foruroligende bog om alarmismens vildfarelser og klimaets sande tilstand tager professor emeritus Johannes Krüger bladet fra munden. Han kortlægger de mange fejlagtige antagelser om klimaet, som for tiden har drevet verdenssamfundet ud i en nytteløs kampagne mod global opvarmning. Og han viser, at drivkraften bag nutidens små klimaforandringer er naturlige klimasvingninger på den store skala, og at CO2’s betydning er overvurderet. Johannes Krüger forklarer blandt meget andet, hvordan verdenshavene vil fortsætte med at stige i de kommende århundreder og årtusinder, uantastet af klimakorrekt levevis. At polerne ikke smelter med alarmerende hast. At de tropiske orkaner og storme ikke er blevet flere, men færre end for årtier siden. Og at tørker og mudderskred i den tredje verden ikke er konsekvensen af CO2-udslip, men af en befolkningseksplosion, der kræver mad og forandrer hele landskaber. Johannes Krüger, f. 1941, er tidligere professor ved Institut for Geografi og Geologi, Københavns Universitet, med forskningsområdet gletsjere og landskab i samspil med klimaet før og nu. Han er desuden forfatter til flere bøger og populærvidenskabelige artikler og er en efterspurgt foredragsholder.

    On the brink of a critical moment in human history, this audiobook presents a vision of "e;planetary stewardship"e; - a rethinking of our relationship with our planet - and plots a new course for our future.The authors, whose work is the subject of a new Netflix documentary released in summer 2021 and narrated by Sir David Attenborough, reveal the full scale of the planetary emergency we face - but also how we can stabilise Earth's life support system.The necessary change is within our power if we act now.In 2009, scientists identified nine planetary boundaries that keep Earth stable, ranging from biodiversity to ozone. Beyond these boundaries lurk tipping points. To stop short of these tipping points, the 2020s must see the fastest economic transition in history.This audiobook demonstrates how societies are reaching positive tipping points that make this transition possible: Activism groups such as Extinction Rebellion, or the schoolchildren led by Greta Thunberg demand political action; countries are committing to eliminating greenhouse gas emissions; and one tipping point has even already passed - the price of clean energy has dropped below that of fossil fuels.Inside the audiobook of this scientifically-led publication, world-leading climate-change experts explain the greatest crisis humanity has ever faced.- Expert-authored text in an accessible style for both adults, and children ages 14+- A breakdown of the 9 planetary boundaries for relative stability on Earth, ranging from biodiversity to the ozone layer- An exploration of climate "e;tipping points"e; - good and badAuthors: Johan Rockstr m is a leading global sustainability scientist and chief scientist at Conservation International. He has published several books, presented three TED talks, and, other than the Netflix/WWF production Our Planet, he has worked with James Cameron, Leonardo DiCaprio, and others on several major films and TV productions.Owen Gaffney is a science writer, journalist, and global sustainability expert who co-founded the Future Earth Media Lab and Rethink Earth.

  • - How Symbiotic Fungi Work with Roots to Support Plant Health and Build Soil Fertility
    af Michael Phillips
    294,95 kr.

    Regenerative practices for the farm, garden, orchard, forest, and landscape Mycorrhizal fungi have been waiting a long time for people to recognize just how important they are to the making of dynamic soils. These microscopic organisms partner with the root systems of approximately 95 percent of the plants on Earth, and they sequester carbon in much more meaningful ways than human "carbon offsets" will ever achieve. Pick up a handful of old-growth forest soil and you are holding 26 miles of threadlike fungal mycelia, if it could be stretched it out in a straight line. Most of these soil fungi are mycorrhizal, supporting plant health in elegant and sophisticated ways. The boost to green immune function in plants and community-wide networking turns out to be the true basis of ecosystem resiliency. A profound intelligence exists in the underground nutrient exchange between fungi and plant roots, which in turn determines the nutrient density of the foods we grow and eat. Exploring the science of symbiotic fungi in layman's terms, holistic farmer Michael Phillips (author of The Holistic Orchard and The Apple Grower) sets the stage for practical applications across the landscape. The real impetus behind no-till farming, gardening with mulches, cover cropping, digging with broadforks, shallow cultivation, forest-edge orcharding, and everything related to permaculture is to help the plants and fungi to prosper . . . which means we prosper as well. Building soil structure and fertility that lasts for ages results only once we comprehend the nondisturbance principle. As the author says, "What a grower understands, a grower will do." Mycorrhizal Planet abounds with insights into "fungal consciousness" and offers practical, regenerative techniques that are pertinent to gardeners, landscapers, orchardists, foresters, and farmers. Michael's fungal acumen will resonate with everyone who is fascinated with the unseen workings of nature and concerned about maintaining and restoring the health of our soils, our climate, and the quality of life on Earth for generations to come.

    , In 1997 sixty-two containers fell off the cargo ship Tokio Express after it was hit by a rogue wave off the coast of Cornwall, including one container filled with nearly five million pieces of Lego, much of it sea themed. In the months that followed, beachcombers started to find Lego washed up on beaches across the south west coast. Among the pieces they discovered were octopuses, sea grass, spear guns, life rafts, scuba tanks, cutlasses, flippers and dragons. The pieces are still washing up today.,

  • - The Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air
    af Theodor Schwenk
    220,95 kr.

    Why does water always take a winding course in streams and rivers? Do common principles and rhythms underlie its movement - whether it be in the sea, in a plant, or even in the blood of a human being? In this seminal and thought-provoking work, the laws apparent in the subtle patterns of water in movement are shown to be the same as those perceptible in the shaping of bones, muscles and a myriad of other forms in nature. Fully illustrated, Sensitive Chaos reveals the unifying forces that underlie all living things. The author observes and explains such phenomena as the flight of birds, the formation of internal organs such as the heart, eye and ear, as well as mountain ranges and river deltas, weather and space patterns, and even the formation of the human embryo. A perennial bestseller since publication, Sensitive Chaos is an essential book for anyone interested in the mysteries of life on earth. THEODOR SCHWENK (1910-1986) was a pioneer in water research. He founded the Institute for Flow Sciences for the scientific study of water's movement and its life-promoting forces. A prolific writer and lecturer, he contributed original insights to the production of homeopathic and anthroposophic medicines, developed 'drop-pictures' for analysing water quality and methods for healing polluted and 'dead' water.

    In this revelatory book, Callum Roberts uses his lifetime's experience working with the oceans to show why they are the most mysterious places on earth, their depths still largely unexplored. In The Ocean of Life we get a panoramic tour beneath the seas: Why do currents circulate the way do? Where exactly do they go? How has the chemistry of the oceans changed? How polluted are we making them? Above all, Roberts reveals the richness of their life, and how it has altered over the centuries. The oceans are now under unprecedented threat. Not only does Roberts show how we are fishing our oceans to extinction, crucially, he explains how this directly affects our lives on land. Ninety-five percent of habitable space on earth lies in the oceans, and marine plants produce half the world's oxygen; the oceans themselves absorb vast quantities of carbon dioxide. The life they support is now in the balance.The Ocean of Life should galvanise debate worldwide. Roberts shows how we can arrest and reverse the damage we are doing. Tantalisingly, it is within our grasp to restore the life of the oceans. There is still time.

    Two thirds of our planet is covered by oceans and seas. Over recent decades developments in ocean science have dramatically improved our understanding of the key role oceans play in the Earth System, and how vital they are for regulating global climate. Humans depend on the oceans for many resources, but at the same time their impacts on the marine systems around the world are of increasing concern. Introducing Oceanography has been written by two leading oceanographers to provide a succinct overview of the science of the study of the seas for students and for the interested adult wanting a topical guide to this enormous and complex subject. The initial chapters describe the oceans and the forces at work within them. The authors then discuss the effects of light, the chemistry of the seas and the food web before surveying biological oceanography in the main oceanic regions. The final chapter looks at the methodology of ocean study. Copiously illustrated, this book is intended for those whose interest in oceanography has been stimulated, perhaps by media coverage of declining resources or climate change and who want to know more. Technical terms are kept to a minimum and are explained in a glossary.
