  • - Sådan dyrker du din have og redder kloden
    af Dave Goulson
    137,95 - 187,95 kr.

    I Den kriblende have giver den britiske forsker Dave Goulson os et nyt fascinerende indblik i insekternes forunderlige liv. Vi er med ham, når han graver i kompostbunken, kigger ind gennem glasset til sit bi-hotel eller dykker ned for at se nærmere på livet i havedammen. Han viser os, hvordan vores eget liv og i sidste ende hele menneskehedens skæbne er uløseligt forbundet med insekternes.Som altid hos Goulson er humoren og de skæve perspektiver aldrig langt væk, men Den kriblende have afdækker også de utilsigtede konsekvenser, det har for miljøet, når vi drukner vores haver i pesticider; lægger fliser overalt, hvor vi kunne have plantet træer, buske og blomster eller dyrket vores egne grønsager; eller køber spagnum med tørv fra truet natur, når det i virkeligheden er ret nemt at lave sin egen kompost. Den udvikling kan vendes. Haven kan blive det sted, hvor vi genopretter forbindelsen til naturen og genopdager, hvor maden kommer fra. Goulson viser, hvordan vi med få og små ændringer kan gøre vores haver til et kæmpemæssigt netværk af små naturreservater, hvor mennesker og dyr kan leve sammen i harmoni. Den kriblende have er uomgængelig lytning for alle, der har en have og kender til den verden af liv, der er derude.

  • - Sådan forhindrer vi insekternes undergang
    af Dave Goulson
    157,95 - 247,95 kr.

    I takt med at insekterne bliver færre, vil vores verden langsomt gå i stå. Dave Goulson er en af verdens førende eksperter i bier, og hans indlevende bog, Den tavse klode, giver en formidabel indsigt i insekternes forunderlige liv og betydning for alt andet liv på Jorden. Bogen er en international bestseller og både en uhyre velskrevet kærlighedserklæring og et tvingende opråb med potentiale til at blive samme banebrydende miljøklassiker som Det tavse forår af Rachel Carson, der udkom i 1962 og var årsag til, at miljødebatten for alvor blev sparket i gang internationalt. Verden over er insekterne i voldsom tilbagegang, og hvis de arbejdsomme skabninger overhovedet skal overleve og trives, er der brug for en verdensomspændende opvågnen og debat om, hvordan vi får en giftfri fremtid. Ikke mindst i Danmark, det er det hårdest dyrkede land i Europa og det land, som levner mindst plads til naturen. En personlig, engagerende og særdeles velformidlet bog om de vidunderlige, fascinerende insekter, som vi deler kloden med – om hvordan vi har afstedkommet deres fatale nedtur og masseuddøen, og hvad vi kan gøre for at afværge det. Jo før jo bedre! Oversat og bearbejdet til dansk af Kjeld Hansen, der er Danmarks førende miljøforfatter.

    ?A terrific book...A thoughtful explanation of how the dramatic decline of insect species and numbers poses a dire threat to all life on earth.? (Booklist, Starred Review)In the tradition of Rachel Carson's groundbreaking environmental classic Silent Spring, an award-winning entomologist and conservationist explains the importance of insects to our survival, and offers a clarion call to avoid a looming ecological disaster of our own making.Drawing on thirty years of research, Goulson has written an accessible, fascinating, and important book that examines the evidence of an alarming drop in insect numbers around the world. ?If we lose the insects, then everything is going to collapse,? he warned in a recent interview in the New York Times?beginning with humans' food supply. The main cause of this decrease in insect populations is the indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides. Hence, Silent Earth's nod to Rachel Carson's classic Silent Spring which, when published in 1962, led to the global banning of DDT. This was a huge victory for science and ecological health at the time.Yet before long, new pesticides just as lethal as DDT were introduced, and today, humanity finds itself on the brink of a new crisis. What will happen when the bugs are all gone? Goulson explores the intrinsic connection between climate change, nature, wildlife, and the shrinking biodiversity and analyzes the harmful impact for the earth and its inhabitants. Meanwhile we have all read stories about hive collapse syndrome affecting honeybee colonies and the tragic decline of monarch butterflies in North America, and more. But it is not too late to arrest this decline, and Silent Earth should be the clarion call. Smart, eye-opening, and essential, Silent Earth is a forceful call to action to save our world, and ultimately, ourselves.Silent Earth includes approximately 20 black-and-white illustrations and charts and graphs.
