Back on the earth after three spaceflights, Chris Hadfield''s captivating memoir An Astronaut''s Guide to Life on Earth reveals extraordinary stories from his life as an astronaut, and shows how to make the impossible a reality. This edition contains a new afterword.Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft, and become a YouTube sensation with his performance of David Bowie''s ''Space Oddity'' in space. The secret to Chris Hadfield''s success – and survival – is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst – and enjoy every moment of it.In his book, An Astronaut''s Guide to Life on Earth, Chris Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement – and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counter-intuitive lessons: don''t visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff.You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Colonel Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights in this book will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth – especially your own.

You live and then you die. That’s the only certainty there is, right? Using love as its guide, Proof of Life on Earth, the debut poetry collection by Degna Stone, looks at all the stops between our arrival and our departure. These poems examine matters of the heart (both the metaphorical and medical kind), of race and discrimination, of the body, mind and self – each in forensic detail, attentive and curious of what moves, shapes, and makes us alive.In between are the landmarks which populate the rich terrain of this collection; not only of our lives through youth to adulthood, but of history, of the long shadows of empire, and of landscapes themselves - especially those of the northeast of England, evocative, rugged and monumental. Stone’s deft and scalpel-sharp poetry explores human existence shaped by mortality and experience, and asks what it means to do more than survive – to live in defiance, openness and awareness.

An exploration of the key aspects of life on Earth – now and in the future – through the study of 10 and a half species. ''Entertaining and intellectually stimulating... The book highlights the wonderfully interconnected nature of our fragile planet. If you want big science at an accessible scale, this is for you'' BBC WildlifeIf an alien visitor were to collect ten souvenir life forms to represent life on earth, which would they be? This is the thought-provoking premise of Marianne Taylor''s The Story of Life in 10½ Chapters. Each life form explains a key aspect about life on Earth. From the sponge that seems to be a plant but is really an animal to the almost extinct soft-shelled turtle deemed extremely unique and therefore extremely precious, these examples reveal how life itself is arranged across time and space, and how humanity increasingly dominates that vision.Taylor, a prolific science writer, considers the chemistry of a green plant and ponders the possibility of life beyond our world. She investigates the virus in an attempt to determine what a life form is; and wonders if the human – ''a distinct and very dominant species with an inevitably biased view of life'' – could evolve in a new direction. She tells us that the giraffe was one species, but is now four; that the dusky seaside sparrow may be revived through ''re-evolution'', or cloning; explains the significance of Darwin''s finch to evolution; and much more. The ''half'' species is artificial intelligence. Itself an experiment to understand and model life, AI is central to our future – although from the alien visitor''s standpoint, unlikely to inherit the earth in the long run.

Brilliantly written, surprising, inspiring and, ultimately, hopeful'' ISABELLA TREEFor nearly four billion years, life on Earth has found new ways to adapt, reproduce and thrive, taking on new forms to meet the environment of the moment. Human impact on the planet, and the potentially devastating threat of climate change, have stressed that adaptability as never before. Yet life still finds a way. Animals, plants and insects rise to the challenge and are still adapting, reproducing and thriving, even in our rapidly transforming environment. In their example we may just find ways that we too can adapt, ways to stop the destruction we''re causing to the planet.In Nature''s Genius David Farrier takes us on a profound journey into this ever-changing natural world. What we discover could transform us. The ways animals adjust to the urban landscape can help us design sustainable cities. Examining other intelligences can help us remake our economies. Learning from bacterial evolution may help solve our waste problem. Synthetic biology could rescue animals from the brink of extinction. Thinking in timescales of the natural world could help us choose a better future. Life on Earth is changing; the question is, can we change with it? Can we remake the world to be fit for all life to thrive once more?

A brilliant young environmental journalist argues that we must innovate and adapt to save planet Earth in this enlightening “trip around the world to meet people working out new ways for humanity to live as well as survive” (The New York Times Book Review).With the historical perspective of The Song of the Dodo and the urgency of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, The Unnatural World chronicles a disparate band of unlikely heroes: an effervescent mad scientist who would fertilize the seas; a pigeon obsessive bent on bringing back the extinct; a low-level government functionary in China doing his best to clean up his city, and more. These scientists, billionaires, and ordinary people are all working toward saving the best home humanity is ever likely to have. What is the threat? It is us. In a time when a species dies out every ten minutes, when summers are getting hotter, winters colder, and oceans higher, some people still deny mankind’s effect on the Earth. But all of our impacts on the planet have ushered in what qualifies as a new geologic epoch, thanks to global warming, mass extinction, and such technologies as nuclear weapons and plastics. “A futurist ray of hope amid the usual denial and despair” (Esquire), The Unnatural World examines the world we have created and analyzes the glimmers of light emerging from the efforts of incredible individuals seeking to change our future. Instead of a world without us, this history of the future shows how to become good gardeners, helping people thrive along with an abundance of plants, animals, all the exuberant profusion of life on Earth—a better world with us. The current era of humans need not be the end of the world—and “Biello describes both what we have done to alter our planet and what we should do in the future to ensure its habitability” (Scientific American).

Žijící legenda a průvodce sérií Zázračná planeta z produkce BBC, sir David Attenborough, vypráví příběh začátku své kariéry přírodovědce, dokumentaristy a popularizátora. V roce 1954 se mladému Davidu Attenboroughovi naskytla životní příležitost cestovat po světě, hledat vzácná, stěží polapitelná zvířata pro Londýnskou zoologickou zahradu a zároveň celou expedici zachytit pro pořad BBC Výpravy za zvířaty. Výpravy do divočiny jsou příběhem těchto cest. Aby mohl Attenborough a jeho tým představit neuvěřitelnou krásu a biodiverzitu naší planety, museli se při pobytu u domorodců a výpravách za mravenečníky velikými v Guyaně, varany komodskými v Indonésii a pásovci v Paraguayi vypořádat nejen s agresivními dikobrazy, divokými prasaty a dravými rybami, ale i se zrádným terénem a nevypočitatelným počasím. Attenborough píše s typickým humorem a šarmem. Výpravy do divočiny ale nejsou jen příběhem fascinujícího dobrodružství, jsou také příběhem muže, který nás přiměl zamilovat si divokou přírodu a který nás dodnes učí, jak důležité je ji chránit. Ohlasy: „Attenborough vypráví o dobrodružstvích, která zažil před šedesáti lety s typicky britským humorem… Je to úžasná kniha pro každého, kdo se chce zprostředkovaně vydat na cestu tak, jako to dělávali dřívější dobrodruzi, a kdo se snaží pochopit, jak daleko jsme pokročili ve snaze o ochranu divokých zvířat.“ The New York Times „Fascinující kniha, neocenitelný záznam prvních tří cest Davida Attenborougha… Attenborough dokáže ve čtenáři vzbudit dojem, že je součástí scény, součástí jeho týmu, a proto se jeho kniha tak těžko odkládá… Na jejích stránkách, stejně jako na obrazovce, sir David sdílí, ukazuje, vysvětluje. Jeho styl je odzbrojujícím způsobem skromný a naprosto vás strhne.“ The Telegraph „Vzácná příležitost pozorovat nezkušeného Davida Attenborougha uprostřed divočiny.“ Vanity Fair „Úžasný pedagog a úžasný přírodovědec.“ prezident Barack Obama

Uznávaný přírodovědec a tvář populárních dokumentů BBC vypráví o svých prvních cestách do neznáma za neprostupnou panenskou divočinou Po úspěšných výpravách do Afriky a Jižní Ameriky zamířili David Attenborough se svým dvorním kameramanem Charlesem Lagusem na konci 50. let minulého století doslova na druhý konec světa. Na Madagaskaru, Nové Guineji, tichomořských ostrovech i v australském Severním teritoriu natáčeli divoká zvířata i původní obyvatele, jejichž zvyky byly (a dodnes jsou) pro naprostou většinu lidí na Západě zcela neznámé. Na ostrově Pentecost sledovali domorodé rituály, jež daly vzniknout bungee jumpingu, na Tonze se jako první Evropané stali svědky královského obřadu pití kavy a v australském Severním teritoriu objevovali prastaré skalní malby. Při svých výpravách Attenborough s Lagusem obdivovali mnoho nádherných tvorů od rajek přes chameleony po sifaky v jejich přirozeném prostředí. Ve Výpravách na druhý konec světa vypráví David Attenborough svým nezaměnitelně okouzlujícím, vtipným a vřelým způsobem o mimořádných dobrodružstvích, jež zažil s těmi nejpozoruhodnějšími lidmi a zvířaty na světě. „Skvělá kniha pro každého, kdo chce zprostředkovaně putovat po světě jako dávní cestovatelé a snažit se pochopit, jak dlouhou cestu jsme urazili v přístupu k ochraně přírody.

WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY DARA McANULTYTHE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER''His writing is as impressive and as enjoyable as his TV programmes and there can be no higher praise'' Daily Express''A marvellous book . . . unputdownable . . . utterly engaging'' Daily TelegraphIn 1954, a young television presenter named David Attenborough was offered the opportunity of a lifetime - to travel the world finding rare and elusive animals for London Zoo''s collection, and to film the expeditions for the BBC.Now ''the greatest living advocate of the global ecosystem'' this is the story of the voyages that started it all. Staying with local tribes while trekking in search of giant anteaters in Guyana, Komodo dragons in Indonesia and armadillos in Paraguay, he and the rest of the team battled with cannibal fish, aggressive tree porcupines and escape-artist wild pigs, as well as treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather, to record the incredible beauty and biodiversity of these regions. The methods may be outdated now, but the fascination and respect for the wildlife, the people and the environment - and the importance of protecting these wild places - is not.Written with his trademark wit and charm, Adventures of a Young Naturalist is not just the story of a remarkable adventure, but of the man who made us fall in love with the natural world, and who is still doing so today.** Praise for Sir David Attenborough **''A great educator as well as a great naturalist'' Barack Obama''Sir David is a wizard of television, and, like Gandalf or Dumbledore, he has a near-magical gift for combining warmth and gravitas . . . the man who, for me, exemplifies the best in British broadcasting'' Louis Theroux''When I was a young boy I used to love turning on the television and watching David''s programmes and really feeling like I was either back out in Africa or I was learning about something magical and almost out of this planet'' Prince William

Ptáci představují nejrozšířenější třídu velkých zvířat, obývají všechny kontinenty i oceány a svou rozmanitostí a pestrobarevností nás nepřestávají fascinovat. Od okamžiku, kdy se před 150 miliony lety objevili, se u nich vyvinula úchvatná škála řešení všemožných problémů a nade vše vynikají schopností létat. Jejich životy jsou díky tomu stejně zajímavé jako jejich vzhled. Život ptáků se stal klasickým dílem popisujícím okouzlující ptačí svět. Nové vydání je doplněno o nejaktuálnější poznatky, a tvoří tak vynikající úvod do ptačí problematiky. Napomáhá k pochopení toho, jak se ptáci chovají a co je k tomu vede, a odhaluje zásadní fáze v ptačím životě i nesnáze, se kterými se musí ptáci vypořádat.

Je to ten nejpozoruhodnější systém na podporu života, jaký si dovedeme představit, vzniklý v průběhu miliard let. V poslední době se však planeta vychyluje z rovnováhy a její biodiverzita upadá, přičemž obojí spolu úzce souvisí.

Following the success of the original Zoo Quest expeditions, in the late 1950s onwards the young David Attenborough embarked on further travels in a very different part of the world. From Madagascar and New Guinea to the Pacific Islands and the Northern Territory of Australia, he and his cameraman companion were aiming to record not just the wildlife, but the way of life of some of the indigenous people of these regions, whose traditions had never been encountered by most of the British public before. From the land divers of Pentecost Island and the sing-sings of New Guinea, to a Royal Kava ceremony on Tonga and the ancient art of the Northern Territory, it is a journey like no other. Alongside these remarkable cultures he encounters paradise birds, chameleons, sifakas and many more animals in some of the most unique environments on the planet. Written with David Attenborough's characteristic charm, humour and warmth, Journeys to the Other Side of the World is an inimitable adventure among people, places and the wildest of wildlife.
