the garden jungle dave goulson

**SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** The Garden Jungle is a wonderful introduction to the hundreds of small creatures with whom welive cheek-by-jowl and of the myriad ways that we can encourage them to thrive.The Garden Jungle is about the wildlife that lives right under our noses, in our gardens and parks, between the gaps in the pavement, and in the soil beneath our feet. Wherever you are right now, the chances are that there are worms, woodlice, centipedes, flies, silverfish, wasps, beetles, mice, shrews and much, much more, quietly living within just a few paces of you.Dave Goulson gives us an insight into the fascinating and sometimes weird lives of these creatures, taking us burrowing into the compost heap, digging under the lawn and diving into the garden pond. He explains how our lives and ultimately the fate of humankind are inextricably intertwined with that of earwigs, bees, lacewings and hoverflies, unappreciated heroes of the natural world.The Garden Jungle is at times an immensely serious book, exploring the environmental harm inadvertently done by gardeners who buy intensively reared plants in disposable plastic pots, sprayed with pesticides and grown in peat cut from the ground. Goulson argues that gardens could become places where we can reconnect with nature and rediscover where food comes from. For anyone who has a garden, and cares about our planet, this book is essential reading.

„Možná že když se dnes naučíme zachránit jednoho čmeláka, dokážeme zítra zachránit svět.“ Posedlosti pro čmeláky propadl Dave Goulson už v raném dětství. Jeho zájem o přírodu začínal stále exotičtějším zvěřincem domácích mazlíčků, ale svět se mu naprosto změnil, když si objednal první entomologické vybavení. Od té doby se jeho skutečnou vášní stal hmyz, především včely a čmeláci. „Čmeláky jsem začal studovat ne proto, že jsou to důležití opylovači, ale protože jsou fascinující, protože se chovají zajímavě a tajuplně, a protože jsou prostě neodolatelní. Když jsem se ale líp seznámil s tím, co se o nich vědělo, ukázalo se, že naléhavě potřebují pomoc.“ - Dave Goulson Dave Goulson v současné době patří mezi nejuznávanější ochránce přírody ve Spojeném království a v roce 2006 založil oceňovanou Bumblebee Conservation Trust (Společnost na ochranu čmeláků). V knize Návrat čmeláků kombinuje příběhy o rostoucí vášni dítěte pro přírodu s hlubokými vhledy do zásadní důležitosti čmeláků. Autor se zaujetím popisuje, jaký vliv měly na čmeláky historické události, co s nimi dělá proměňující se příroda, jak do jejich života zasahujeme my a jak je můžeme chránit. Jedním z nejvýraznějších momentů příběhu je vášnivé úsilí Dava Goulsona o navrácení anglického čmeláka pruhovaného, který ve Velké Británii zcela vyhynul, do jeho původní domoviny. Díky autorovu hlubokému vhledu a nadšení se na čmeláky začnete dívat úplně jinak. Začnete se na ně zkrátka dívat. „Musím se k něčemu přiznat. Možná tvrdím, že biodiverzita je životně důležitá pro naše přežití, že potřebujeme opylovače pro naše zemědělské plodiny a tak dál, a že bychom tudíž měli vyhradit oblasti pro ochranu. Ve skutečnosti je ale moje motivace pro obnovu louky mnohem sobečtější. Úplně jednoduše – louka je to nekrásnější místo, kde je možné si během letního dne sednout. Pokud jste to ještě nikdy neudělali, najděte si nějakou louku plnou divokých květin – není jich sice mnoho, ale nějaká pravděpodobně bude nepříliš daleko – jděte tam sami, posaďte se do vysoké trávy a nasávejte do sebe to místo. Poslouchejte zvuky: bzučení čmeláků a včel, cvrkot lučních kobylek, vysoké pískání rejsků bojujících hluboko v trávě, melodické švitoření skřivanů vysoko na nebi. Vnímejte vůně bazalky, mateřídoušky a svízele syřišťového rozdrcených pod vašima nohama a květin všude kolem. Nechte se unášet širokou paletou barev: fialových, žlutých, purpurových a růžových. Je to nejblíž nebi, kam se většina z nás může dostat. Jaký další důvod bychom mohli potřebovat pro vytváření takových míst a péči o ně? Kéž máte vždy možnost si na rozkvetlé louce užívat pohled na čmeláky a včely a naslouchat jejich bzukotu.“ - Dave Goulson Autor Dave Goulson (* 1965) vystudoval biologii na Oxfordské univerzitě a v současnosti působí jako profesor biologických věd na univerzitě v Sussexu. Vydal více než 190 vědeckých článků o čmelácích, včelách, motýlech a dalších druzích hmyzu. V roce 2006 založil Bumblebee Conservation Trust (Společnost na ochranu čmeláků), která svou průlomovou ochranářskou prací získala Heritage Lottery Award za nejlepší projekt v oblasti životního prostředí. Jedním z jejích cílů je navrátit do původní domoviny čmeláka pruhovaného, který ve Velké Británii zcela vyhynul. Biology and Biotechnology Research Council v roce 2010 Goulsonovi udělil ocenění Sociální inovátor roku . Je autorem další velmi úspěšné knihy o přírodním zahradničení Divočina v zahradě .

**SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**One man''s quest to save the bumblebee...Dave Goulson has always been obsessed with wildlife, from his childhood menagerie of exotic pets and dabbling in experimental taxidermy to his groundbreaking research into the mysterious ways of the bumblebee and his mission to protect our rarest bees.Once commonly found in the marshes of Kent, the short-haired bumblebee is now extinct in the UK, but still exists in the wilds of New Zealand, descended from a few queen bees shipped over in the nineteenth century.A Sting in the Tale tells the story of Goulson''s passionate drive to reintroduce it to its native land and contains groundbreaking research into these curious creatures, history''s relationship with the bumblebee, the disastrous effects intensive farming has had on our bee populations and the potential dangers if we are to continue down this path.

''Europe is a garden... It is the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity, and social cohesion that the humankind has been able to build... Most of the rest of the world is a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden.'' This is how Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, characterized the situation in 2022, several months after Russia''s invasion of Ukraine and one year before Israel''s war against Gaza. Europe has a singular image of itself and of the world. It persists in thinking of itself as the cradle of civilization, the incarnation of good and justice, threatened by a global environment where savagery, darkness, and evil reign. Clinging to this fantasy inherited from a colonial past, it is lost and misguided, turning its back on the values of humanism and equality to which it nevertheless claims to adhere. As long as Europe and, with it, the political West, have not renounced their desire for power, there will unite against them the resentment of all the peoples who have had the bitter experience of their domination over the last five centuries. Because the ''jungle'' is Europe''s own creation, produced by the blindness of conquest and exploitation. This powerful essay is an invitation to rebuild a Europe that is truly concerned about the fragility of the world and of life, with an acute awareness of the perils that threaten humanity.

The perfect armchair and gardening companion to the garden flowers of the British Isles. Christopher Stocks tells the fascinating tales of nineteen cultivated flowers and their journeys from distant corners of the world to British gardens, illustrated by the painter and printmaker Angie Lewin in this charming companion guide. The Book of Garden Flowers builds on the success of Angie Lewin’s and Christopher Stocks’ previous collaborations; The Book of Wild Flowers (Thames & Hudson, 2024) and The Book of Pebbles (Thames & Hudson, 2020.) While The Book of Wild Flowers explored the natural history of Britain’s favourite wild species, The Book of Garden Flowers is more a social history, bringing into focus some of the remarkable people who introduced exotic plants to our gardens from around the globe, including: • Margery Fish, secretary to six successive editors at the Daily Mail, who rescued many cottage garden flowers from obscurity • Ellen Willmot, who employed over 100 staff in her garden and burned through a huge fortune thanks to her passion for plants, dying penniless and alone • Charles Dickens, who became obsessed with a particular pelargonium • John Gerrard, the famous 17th-century herbalist, who planted the first nasturtiums in the UK at his City of London garden • Henry VIII, who ate the first British-grown artichokes on the outskirts of Chelmsford Revealing new stories behind some of our most familiar and unusual garden plants, this beautiful book explores the horticultural history and floral folklore of some of the nation’s favourite flowers.

You step out of the back door into the garden. There may be a few birds flitting around, perhaps butterflies or bumblebees on the wing. But often the garden can seem very still. But if you look beyond the superficial inactivity there is an ecological web of wildlife to explore, to understand and then to encourage more biodiversity.The Science of Garden Biodiversity: The Living Garden shows how data and science can help to dispel myths, such as that a garden fit for wildlife must be ‘ wild’ and that you must grow native plants. It also provides an understanding of how diverse life can be in gardens and how gardens work. And along the way there are scientific ‘ signposts’ to better wildlife gardening. Julian Doberski explains the role of ''small things'' - microorganisms and invertebrates - that are fundamental to the ecological functioning of gardens. Learning more about the ecology of a garden helps us understand and appreciate what makes a garden a refuge for wildlife and how following the science may lead to a more thoughtful and constructive approach to gardening and garden design and garden planting.
