After working as a botanist and natural historian for more than 25 years, walking the countryside had almost imperceptibly turned into a disheartening endeavour for Pete Stroh. He found himself resting at viewpoints and contemplating how much better it would be if a pasture had not been drenched with herbicide, if a woodland had not been planted up with regimented lines of conifer crops, if an arable field could every so often not be ploughed right up to the bloody roots of the hedgerowSo he decided that in writing this book, he would wander within the boundaries of the parish where he lives, record weekly what he actually saw, and restrict grumblings to a minimum, to observe rather than judge. This, he writes, took a bit of getting used to but proved ultimately to be a liberating and unexpected experience.The result is this uplifting and positive book showing the surprising abundance of nature, given half a chance.

Uglow makes us feel the life beyond the facts.GUARDIANFew can match Uglows skill at conjuring up a scene, or illuminating a character.SUNDAY TIMESCharming . . . Like Radio 4s shipping forecast for naturalists.Andrea Wulf, FINANCIAL TIMESA glorious celebration of curiosity and nature.OBSERVERIn 1781, Gilbert White was a country curate, living in the Hampshire village he had known all his life. Fascinated by the fauna, flora and people around him, he kept journals for many years, and, at that time, was halfway to completing his path-breaking The Natural History of Selborne. No one had written like this before, with such close observation, humour, and sympathy: his spellbinding book has remained in print ever since, treasured by generations of readers. Jenny Uglow illuminates this quirky, warm-hearted man, the father of ecology, by following a single year in his Naturalists Journal. As his diary jumps from topic to topic, she accompanies Gilbert from frost to summer drought, from the migration of birds to the sex lives of snails and the coming of harvest.Fresh, alive and original - and packed with rich colour illustrations - A Year with Gilbert White invites us to see the natural world anew, with astonishment and wonder.A feast of a book, it is beautifully illustrated and compulsively readable.LITERARY REVIEWThe author brings her subject endearingly alive . . . [an] enriching book.NATURE

Este libro narra el viaje del investigador norteamericano Jordan Salama a traves del rio Magdalena, desde su nacimiento en el macizo colombiano hasta su desembocadura en Bocas de Ceniza.

With the widest catchment area of any river in Britain, the Tay drains much of the lower Highlands of Scotland. A vast network of lochs and smaller bodies of water feed the Isla, Garry, Tummel, Almond and Earn, which all flow into this mighty river. As Robin Crawford walks along the banks of the Tay, we delve into the history of this landscape and his personal connection with it, from hill walks with friends into the mountains of the Tays source to his student days in Dundee, where the Tay eventually spills out into the North Sea. Along the route we dip into the rivers story: the gold-panners on the river Cononish, the Earthquake House outside Comrie, Beatrix Potters holiday home near Dunkeld. Throughout, the river is our constant companion, connecting the small moments on which events turn and lives are changed forever.

Green Greenwich reveals the many green spaces in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in south east London. Candy Blackham has spent three years exploring the woods, flowery meadows, parks and nature reserves with her camera. She shares with us her enjoyment of the many sites which are found around almost every corner, and all within forty minutes of central London. Each site has a brief historical description and photographs which tempt us to go walking every day of the year as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves, and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of autumn. As you walk in the parks discover herons, foxes, many varieties of butterflies and other insects, and of course the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the Thames, enjoy views from hilltops, explore the canals of Thamesmead, and take time to enjoy the calm of the natural surroundings. Candy Blackham has given us another unique book which invites us to go walking beyond our usual haunts and reminds us how fortunate we are to have these green spaces and how much they depend on our protection and vigilance so that they are not lost in Londons growth.

The island of Britain has over 10,000 miles of coastline, steeped in history and constantly shifting, changing, adapting and providing. The Restless Coast is a moving and beautiful account of a journey around it, during which the author travels its length to discover its challenges and opportunities, and to talk to the people trying to protect it. At once delightful travelogue and passionate defence, The Restless Coast shines a powerful spotlight into the thin line that surrounds us, and defines our status as islanders. Overarching the journey is the extraordinary natural history of the coastline, together with the story of how man has imprinted himself on its very geology and shape for countless centuries. Into the account, Roger Morgan-Grenville threads the modern challenges that the shoreline faces, and the people who are trying to protect it. At once informative, angry and funny, The Restless Coast is a very personal love letter to our island edge.

Ahora, con su colaborador habitual Colin Butfield, comparte la historia de nuestro ultimo gran y critico desierto, el que da forma a la tierra en la que vivimos, regula nuestro clima y crea el aire que respiramos.A lo largo de cien años, ocho habitats oceanicos unicos, innumerables especies intrigantes y a traves de historias personales, historia y ciencia de vanguardia, Oceano descubre el misterio, la maravilla y la fragilidad del habitat mas inexplorado de nuestro planeta. Y muestra su notable resiliencia: es la parte de nuestro mundo que puede recuperarse mas rapido, en algunos casos lo ha hecho, y durante nuestras vidas podriamos ver un mundo marino completamente restaurado, incluso mas rico y espectacular de lo que podriamos esperar Si actuamos ahora.
