Katherine Rundellová v knihe Miznúce poklady vytvára neobyčajný most medzi vedou a poéziou, faktmi a zázrakmi, historickými príbehmi a súčasnou environmentálnou krízou. Každá kapitola je venovaná inému živému tvorovi – od najmenších po najväčšie, od najrýchlejších až po najpomalšie.Dozviete sa o dážďovníkoch, ktorí dokážu spať za letu, o žralokoch grónskych, starších než Shakespeare, o žirafách s krkmi týčiacimi sa do závratných výšok, o tuleňoch spievajúcich v ľudskej reči aj o slonoch smútiacich nad kosťami svojich blízkych. Autorka spája vedecké poznatky s literárnymi odkazmi – od antických mýtov po súčasné výskumy – a vytvára tak jedinečnú mozaiku poznania.Rundellová má vzácny dar tlmočiť zložité biologické procesy do jazyka, ktorý je presný aj poetický. Keď opisuje, ako polárne medvede dokážu znížiť svoj srdcový tep na osem úderov za minútu, alebo ako slony komunikujú pomocou infrazvuku naprieč kontinentmi, vtiahne vás do úžasu nad neuveriteľnou schopnosťou života prispôsobiť sa a prekvitať.Každé zviera je zároveň oknom do ľudskej kultúry. Vlci, ktorých poznáme hlavne ako zloduchov z rozprávok, sa tu ukazujú ako zložité spoločenské bytosti. Zajace odhaľujú fascinujúcu históriu symbolov plodnosti a mágie. Havajské vrany, ktoré v miestnom folklóre sprevádzajú duše do posmrtného života, sú dnes na pokraji vyhynutia.Kniha však nie je len oslavou prírody. Je to aj naliehavé varovanie. Každý zo spomínaných zvieracích hrdinov je ohrozený ľudským konaním. Autorka ukazuje, ako naše správanie formuje osud ostatných druhov.Kniha Miznúce poklady vás naučí vidieť svet inými očami. Autorka nám pripomína, že „svet nikdy netrpí na nedostatok divov, ale na nedostatok údivu“. Kniha je návodom, ako znovu začať žasnúť nad tým, čo ešte môžeme zachrániť.Pre milovníkov prírody, literatúry a všetkých, ktorí chcú pochopiť naše miesto vo svete, ktorý nepatrí iba nám.

“Captivating, informative, and inspiring…Easy to follow and hard to put down.” School Library Journal (starred review) Inspiring autobiography of NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, who helped launch Apollo 11. As a young girl, Katherine Johnson showed an exceptional aptitude for math. In school she quickly skipped ahead several grades and was soon studying complex equations with the support of a professor who saw great promise in her. But ability and opportunity did not always go hand in hand. As an African American and a girl growing up in an era of brutal racism and sexism, Katherine faced daily challenges. Still, she lived her life with her father’s words in mind: “You are no better than anyone else, and nobody else is better than you.” In the early 1950s, Katherine was thrilled to join the organization that would become NASA. She worked on many of NASA’s biggest projects including the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first men on the moon. Katherine Johnson’s story was made famous in the bestselling book and Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures. Now in Reaching for the Moon she tells her own story for the first time, in a lively autobiography that will inspire young readers everywhere.

Most comfortable in the company of the child for whom she babysits, and most at ease in the woods, Laurelie has shunned any connection with her peers.One day, while exploring the woods, she and her young charge encounter an injured pregnant bobcat – and the hiker who has been following it for hundreds of miles. In the hiker and his feline companion Laurelie recognizes someone as reclusive and wary as herself. The hiker, too, finds human companionship painful to endure, yet he is drawn to wounded Laurelie the way he is drawn to the bobcat. As Laurelie moves toward recovery and reconnection she also finds her voice as an artist, and a sense of purpose, maybe even a future, comes into sight.
