Hitze, wie wir sie aus fernen Urlaubsregionen kannten, sintflutartiger Starkregen, verheerende Stürme: Ist das schon Klimawandel - oder immer noch "nur" Wetter? Die Physikerin Friederike Otto hat die Attribution Science mitentwickelt. Mittels dieser revolutionären Methode kann sie genau berechnen, wann der Klimawandel im Spiel ist. War eine Katastrophe wie Harvey menschengemacht? Ist eine Dürreperiode Folge der globalen Erwärmung oder nur ein heißer Sommer, wie es ihn schon immer gab.

Draghi, ciclopi, giganti, unicorni, fenici. Quando gli antichi si imbattevano in resti di animali sconosciuti, subito li attribuivano a creature fantastiche. Poi gli scienziati hanno dimostrato che si trattava solo di fantasie ancestrali: i mostri non esistono, oggi lo sappiamo tutti; eppure la spiegazione che gli studiosi hanno dato di quei reperti è stata addirittura più terrificante: prima di noi, una miriade di altri viventi abitava il nostro pianeta, ma ora non ci sono più. Sulla Terra, infatti, nulla è per sempre.

Why a saltwater aquarium? There's nothing more spectacular than the diversity of the ocean. A saltwater aquarium setup allows you to bring a little sample of that spectacle into your own living room.

The fish and other ocean creatures you'll be able to host range from beautiful to fascinating to downright weird, some displaying flashy colors while others exude a quiet grace.

In this fresh and powerful work of environmental history, Martin Doyle explores how rivers have often been the source of arguments at the heart of the American experiment - over federalism, taxation, regulation, conservation, and development. Doyle tells the epic story of America and its rivers, from the US Constitution's roots in interstate river navigation, the origins of the Army Corps of Engineers, the discovery of gold in 1848, and the construction of the Hoover Dam and the TVA during the New Deal, to the failure of the levees in Hurricane Katrina.

Faszinierende Farben der Vegetation, endlose Weiten der Wüste, nächtliches Tierleben im Urwald: Viele Jahre lang reiste Humboldt durch den amerikanischen Kontinent, beobachtete, untersuchte und skizzierte. Dabei interessierte ihn nicht nur Naturforschung, sondern ihn trieb die Frage nach dem großen Ganzen an. Dokumentiert hat er dies in seinen 1808 erschienenen Aufsätzen, in denen sich die sinnliche Wahrnehmung von Natur auf einzigartige Weise mit wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis und literarischer Qualität verbindet.
