Per quanto incredibile ci possa sembrare, le piante sono in grado di provare un'ampia gamma di emozioni. E come è stato recentemente dimostrato, sanno anche, con mezzi dai più straordinari ai più semplici, trasmettere quello che provano. Si difendono, attaccano, siglano alleanze, cacciano, costruiscono, trascinano, comunicano a distanza le loro paure, le loro sofferenze e le loro gioie. Ora è dimostrato: ci percepiscono, ci riconoscono, ci considerano, reagiscono alle nostre emozioni ed esprimono le loro.

Die Naturkunden erzählen von Tieren und Pflanzen, von Pilzen und Menschen, von fremder und vertrauter Natur. In ihnen wird keine bloße Wissenschaft betrieben, sondern die leidenschaftliche Erforschung der Welt. Kundig, anschaulich und im Bewusstsein, dass sie dabei vor allem vom Menschen erzählt - und von seinem Blick auf eine Natur, die ihn selbst mit einschließt. Nun erscheinen ausgewählte Titel dieser Reihe auch als Hörbuch: Ute Woltron weiß Verblüffendes und Wissenswertes über die beliebte Kulturpflanze "Hanf" zu berichten.

Pflanzen bilden die Grundlagen für fast alle Lebensprozesse auf der Erde und natürlich auch für die Menschen. Sie sind uns selbstverständlich geworden, doch es scheint, dass wir den Bezug zu ihnen verloren haben. Oder doch nicht?

Aussi incroyable que cela paraisse, les plantes sont capables d'éprouver toute la gamme des émotions. Et comme on l'a récemment démontré, elles savent aussi, par les moyens les plus extraordinaires comme les plus simples, transmettre ce qu'elles ressentent. La nature ne cesse de nous parler, preuves à l'appui. À nous d'arrêter d'être sourds. Elles se défendent, elles attaquent, elles nouent des alliances, elles chassent, elles rusent, elles draguent, elles communiquent à distance leurs peurs, leurs souffrances et leur joie.

Il più vecchio albero italiano di cui sia certa l'età è un pino loricato che cresce in Calabria abbarbicato sul Pollino. È nato nel 1026, più giovane quindi di un suo omonimo nato nel Nord della Grecia nel 941 e considerato il più vecchio essere vivente del Mediterraneo. Il più vecchio del mondo invece è un abete rosso (un albero di Natale, per intenderci) che vive in Svezia e che nel 2008 dovrebbe aver compiuto 9550 anni. Ancorati alle radici, gli alberi non si muovono.

A wonderful cocktail of extraordinary writing and heartfelt appreciation for the natural world. An essential oddity for any book collection. In this charming and witty companion, Jack Cooke explores the city through its canopy: teetering on the edge of an oak's branches, scurrying up a Scots pine, spying views from the treetops that few have ever had the chance to see. He takes us through the parks, over the canals and rivers and into secret gardens in his journey sometimes only 10 foot above the street.

In the aftermath of the horrific trench warfare of the First World War, the poppy - sprouting across the killing fields of France and Belgium, then immortalized in John McCrae’s moving poem - became a worldwide icon. Yet the poppy has a longer history: as the telltale sign of human cultivation of the land, of the ravages of war, and of the desire to escape the earthly realm through Romantic opium dreams or the grim reality of morphine drips.
