Surrounded by a veil of ancient beliefs and tales of supernatural phenomena, the isolated sandstone tablelands of the Guiana Highlands remain some of the least explored areas of our planet. When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published his famous 1912 novel about a group of daring explorers visiting a mysterious South American plateau, they were given a new name - The Lost Worlds. While unremarkable on a map, seen as just borders of three South American countries, to the botanist explorer, photographer and author Mateusz Wrazid they hold a far deeper significance: a ‘world at the edge of worlds’. Intertwining photography taken during his expeditions with personal reflections and quotes from the historical accounts of explorers, Rapture reveals the author's lifelong obsession with this mysterious cradle of South American biodiversity and its natural treasures. It is a sumptuous letter of appreciation dedicated to a realm where fantasy and reality intertwine.

Book Four in the Award-Winning Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone seriesFollowing five generations of female wolves—including the famous 06—this gripping family saga set in Yellowstone National Park reveals the pivotal role that female wolves play in pack life.“Rick’s writing is so vivid, so powerful, that I feel I have been right there with him among the wolves of Yellowstone. And I urge you, the reader, to come with us and discover the magic of wolf society.”—DR. JANE GOODALL, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of PeaceYellowstone’s 06 female was called ‘the most famous wolf in the world.’ Her strength, beauty, and intelligence were unmatched, and her ability to hunt, protect her young cubs, and choose the right mates made her pack successful. In his latest book, award-winning author and renowned wolf researcher Rick McIntyre turns his spotting scope on 06 and more remarkable female wolves, telling the dramatic true story of five generations of female leaders in Yellowstone National Park. As Rick shows us, female wolves, not their male counterparts, play the most pivotal roles in pack life. They choose who may mate with them and where their pack will hunt and raise pups. They negotiate treaties and fiercely defend their families. The only opponent they cannot defeat is a human with a gun. In The Alpha Female Wolf, McIntyre profiles 06’s rise to power. He also celebrates the lives of other female wolves who deserve our recognition. Throughout, McIntyre weaves wolf biology and storytelling into a page-turning narrative that, once again, gives readers a rare window into life in a wolf pack—this time from a female point of view.
Forges a path away from polarization toward ethical problem solving and a more humane, equitable, and healthy society From tackling injustice to protecting the environment to ending animal cruelty to improving the strength of our communities, deep divisions in our society often prevent us from working collaboratively to solve the problems we face. Based on Zoe Weil's decades of work as a humane educator, The Solutionary Way provides clear, achievable methods to bridge divides, address the causes of seemingly intractable challenges, and create positive change. Grounded in evidence-based optimism and illustrated with dozens of real-world examples, this book provides: A guide to the primary components of a solutionary mindset—critical, systems, strategic, and creative thinking A comprehensive articulation of the solutionary framework (Identify, Investigate, Innovate, and Implement)A compelling argument for the MOGO principle—to do the most good and least harm for people, animals, and the environmentAn overview of emerging solutions to a variety of systemic, rather than solitary, problemsThe personal benefits associated with becoming a solutionary, from a greater sense of purpose to deeper compassion and reduced feelings of apathy and isolation. This exciting and empowering book will appeal to a broad audience, including changemakers, activists, advocates for social justice, environmental sustainability, and animal protection, business and political leaders, and anyone who yearns to contribute to a healthy, equitable, and humane world.

An easy-to-read, all-encompassing, and fun reference on all things canine from an award-winning scientist who has studied and loved dogs (and their wild relatives) for more than five decades No one is better than Dr. Marc Bekoff at turning state-of-the-art animal science into practical, reader-friendly information. His subjects include dog care, dog cognition and emotions, and dog-human relationships, and though he has impressive scientific credentials and much technical expertise, this is the accessible book that every dog lover should have. In concise, readable A-through-Z entries, Bekoff covers it all, including: - Why your dog is doing this and not doing that- Whether dogs have "human" traits such as jealousy and obsessive-compulsive disorder- Why it is important to recognize the individuality of each dog, rather than assume that any or all dogs should act or respond in the same way- Exactly how to meet any dog eye-to-eye, nose-to-nose, and ear-to-ear to create enduring reciprocal bonds- How tuning in to a dog's unique personality busts one-size-fits-all theories and leads to happier dogs and happier human companions As the saying goes, dogs are many humans' best friends and beloved family members. If that's the case for you -- and whether you are a dog lover, vet, or trainer; whether you have just brought home a puppy or are nursing a senior dog -- Dogs Demystified will answer your questions, unlock mysteries, and foster harmony and happiness for all.
Follow Azzedine Downes as he drifts between cultures, places, and time to build a life of service and adventure, first as a young educator in Morocco and later as a father making a home for his family in the United States. As the son of an Irish father and a Muslim mother, blue-eyed Azzedine feels the power— and the burden— of being a cultural shape-shifter. His presence alone evokes curiosity and arguments, sometimes risking great danger to himself and his family. He makes his way as a teacher, an organizer, and later a leader in the U. S. Peace Corps. In this wry traveler’ s memoir, his tales elicit at turn laughter, compassion, and heartache as Azzedine confronts the human compulsion to make sense of those around us, even when we’ re wrong.“ I never found life to be linear and so returning to a point in time never surprised me,” Azzedine writes. “ What surprised me was the reaction of those that struggled to tether me to one place.” Featuring a foreword by Jane Goodall, who shares his vision for hope and resilience in a troubled world, The Couscous Chronicles unravels the tapestry of a vibrant journey where one is never a stranger, but also never at home.

Africa in my Blood is an extraordinary self-portrait in letters of Jane Goodall's early years, from childhood to the publication of In the Shadow of Man, revealing this remarkable woman more vividly than anything published before, by her or about her. We see her at eleven founding the Alligator Society ("You have to be able to recognize 10 birds, 10 dogs, 10 trees and 5 butterflies OR moths"): at seventeen developing a crush on the local minister ("He has a beautiful long nose and he loves dogs"); at twenty punting at Oxford - and falling out of the boat ("And I stood in the water - up to my chest - and roared and roared with laughter"); at twenty-two working at a film company and saving for a trip to Africa." "At twenty-three, she took that trip, to "the Africa I have always longed for, always felt stirring in my blood."" "The turning point of her life came when a friend told her. "If you are interested in animals, you must meet Louis Leakey." And when she did meet the legendary anthropologist, he saw in this young secretarial school graduate the ideal candidate to undertake a revolutionary study of chimpanzees. He sent her to the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve on Lake Tanganyika, where she immersed herself in the lives of wild animals as no one had ever done before. Goodall has told this story in other books, but never so immediately and emotionally." "Africa in My Blood is a dramatic, moving, funny, and important book that tells the story of how an English girl who loved animals became one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century.

Kuinka voimme pitää kiinni toivosta maailmassa, joka näyttää olevan valtavissa vaikeuksissa? Antti Immosen kääntämässä ajankohtaisessa teoksessa maailman tunnetuin elossa oleva luonnontutkija Jane Goodall ja kansainvälisesti menestynyt kirjailija Douglas Abrams pohdiskelevat ihmisluonnon kaivattua ja heikoimmin ymmärrettyä osaa – toivoa. Paheneva ilmastokriisi, maailmanlaajuinen pandemia, biodiversiteetin hupeneminen, poliittiset mullistukset – näiden musertavien uhkien edessä meidän voi olla vaikeaa asennoitua optimistisesti. Toivo on sitä, mitä nyt kipeimmin kaipaamme. Kirja toivosta on myös kuvaus erityislaatuisen naisen tunteista ja ajatuksista – naisen, joka on mullistanut tapamme tarkastella maailmaa, ja joka on omistanut elämänsä taistelulle tulevaisuutemme puolesta.” Yksi koko maailman vaikuttavimmista ja tärkeimmistä suunnannäyttäjistä. Jane on lähes joka päivä levittämässä optimismia ja tietoisuutta eri puolilla maailmaa. Hänen viestinsä kuuluu: Meidän on suojeltava jokaisen elollisen olennon oikeuksia, tarjottava toivoa tuleville sukupolville ja vastustettava kaikkien aikojen suurinta uhkaa – ilmastonmuutosta.” – LEONARDO DICAPRIOTutustu tästä lukunäytteeseen
'Ignoring water's essential role as the connective tissue of all life on Earth is widespread. Unfortunately, the response to each environmental problem tends to be piecemeal -- addressing one threat rather than responding with complex solutions that will address the underlying problems.' Over the past four decades artist, activist and teacher Betsy Damon has studied virtually every aspect of water, from the essence of water drops to whole water systems and their connections to life on earth. Over the years, she has witnessed the decline in water quality around the world as a result of human actions. In this comprehensive and insightful book, Damon writes about our interdependence with water in every aspect of life. She discusses many of the technical, social, and ethical issues we face and our individual and collective responsibility for addressing the decline in water quality. Damon argues that lasting solutions to this problem depend on a fundamental understanding and empirical knowledge of water and its role for all life on earth. She provides an overview of water as a fundamental human right and describes how that right has been curtailed through pollution and the commercialisation of water supplies. Through inspiring personal stories and projects, scientific and technological studies and solutions, Damon reveals how to better appreciate and approach the problems so that clean water, air and soil can be available for all life.
