Venture into the woods alongside a pioneering female mycologist. This one-of-a-kind, keepsake volume celebrates the timeless fascination of fungi. Very little is known about M.

F. Lewis—not even her first name. Mysterious, prolific, and deeply enamored with the world of mushrooms, she left us a treasure trove of mycological illustrations.

For over forty years, from 1860 to 1902, Lewis rambled across England and Wales, recording an astonishing biodiversity of fungi. Her delicately drawn, boldly colored images evoke the strange and powerful beauty of this kingdom.  This handsome volume collects hundreds of Lewis's watercolors, contextualized by a foreword from mycologist Dr. Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian.

It's a must-have for today's mushroom lovers who are curious about the history of mycology and for any admirer of vintage botanical illustration who wants to discover something different. FASCINATING FUNGI: Mushrooms are having a real moment, but they've always captured our imaginations, even in Victorian times. Lewis's gorgeous artwork offers the modern mushroom fan a new way to appreciate their favorite kingdom.

Explore the world's natural habitats and the plants and animals that live there. From the depths of the ocean to soaring mountain peaks - via coral reefs, deserts, rainforests, and even cityscapes - discover how unexpected wildlife partnerships make up the habitats plants and animals call home. Each habitat section starts with a fascinating illustration to explain how it works, exploring the combination of conditions, plants, and animals that make it up.

It then delves deeper, telling stories about how the inhabitants interact and find their place in each habitat. Survival strategies can be extreme, including frogs that can survive frozen through winter to emerge unharmed in spring. Vying for resources, plants and animals can work together in intimate partnerships, engage in direct competition - fighting tooth and nail over resources - or adapt in particular ways to find their own niche that only they can exploit.

These intricately balanced systems create an incredible and fascinating variety of life on our planet. So what are you waiting for?

This new, fifth edition of Bradt's Madagascar Wildlife, first published over 25 years ago, celebrates the unique fauna of this remarkable Indian Ocean island. Written by naturalist tour-leaders and Madagascar experts, and aimed at visitors and natural-history enthusiasts alike, this guide has been thoroughly updated to reflect both the latest discoveries - on an island where new species for science are continuously discovered - and the latest developments at the country's top wildlife-tourism locations. Wildlife is the key draw for English-speaking visitors to Madagascar.

Enjoying nature couldn't be more different to continental Africa. Rather than going out on safari to see the Big Five from the safety of a jeep, in Madagascar you approach wildlife on rainforest strolls, without fear of encountering dangerous snakes or angry elephants. From its endearing lemurs and comical chameleons to the endemic birds and bizarre insects, this is the only guide to showcase the whole range of Madagascar's captivating wildlife.

It features lively descriptions of animals and their behaviour - perfect for the interested layman - complemented by 280 sumptuous colour photographs. A 'Habitats and Hotspots' chapter details the island's various ecosystems and presents concise information on where best to see fascinating species, helping readers choose which parks and reserves to visit - from Masoala and Ranomafana to Ifaty and Berenty. An incredible 90% of Madagascar's plants and animals are unique to the world's oldest island.

Accordingly, this guide also tells the story of how Madagascar came to be so different from the rest of the world, and why evolution took a different tangent to create such an extraordinary and unparalleled array of creatures. Read about Madagascar's remarkable chameleon diversity: half the world's species occur here, including the smallest and largest. And prepare to be astonished by an orchid with a ridiculously long nectary tube that prompted Charles Darwin to correctly predict that there would be a moth that had evolved an equally absurd 30-cm-long tongue to reach it.

Like our parents, they've led whole lives before we get to know them. We are made of the same stuff as the breath and cinders of volcanoes. They have long shaped the path of humanity, provoked pioneering explorations and fired up our imaginations.

They are fertile ground for agriculture, art and spirituality, as well as scientific advances, and they act as time capsules, capturing the footprints of those who came before us. World-renowned volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer has worked at the crater's edge in the wildest places on Earth, from remote peaks in the Sahara to mystical mountains in North Korea. His work reveals just how entangled volcanic activity is with our climate, economy, politics, culture and beliefs.

From Antarctica to Italy, he paints volcanoes as otherworldly, magical places where our history is laid bare and where nature speaks to something deep within us. Blending cultural history, science, myth and adventure, Mountains of Fire reminds us that, wherever we are on the planet, our stories are profoundly intertwined with volcanoes.

Du og jeg er innvevd i naturens flettverk, mye tettere enn du tror. Millioner av arter gir oss mat, medisin og et levelig miljø, i tillegg til at naturen gir oss kunnskap og glede.

På engasjerende vis forteller Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson spennende og tankevekkende fortellinger om naturen. Forfatteren tar oss med ut i regnskogen, der orkidebiene lager parfyme og pollinerer nøttene du spiser i jula. Inn i den svale skyggen under bygatenes store trær, de som gjør at vi trenger mindre luftkjøling. Ned i skyttergravene der soldatene brukte selvlysende sopp som lykt i måneløse netter. Vi får lese om trær i gammelskogen som gir oss kreftmedisin og isfuglen som inspirerte konstruksjonen av lyntog. Men også om hvordan vår framferd kan sette alt dette i fare. For i vår evne til å utnytte naturen, ligger også risikoen for å undergrave vårt eget livsgrunnlag. Vi snakker i dag om en naturkrise, der arter trues og levesteder forsvinner - en krise like akutt og alvorlig som klimakrisen. Skal vi sikre vår egen framtid, må vi endre måten vi lever på. Vi må lære oss å spille på lag med naturen.

Er planter bedre problemløsere enn mennesker? Stefano Mancuso mener det, og i Planterevolusjonen gir han en overbevisende vitenskapelig begrunnelse.

Planter utgjør 80 prosent av alt levende på jorden, og likevel er det så lett å glemme at disse små, unnselige organismene ikke bare er ansvarlig for livsviktig oksygen, men også for mye vi tar for gitt i vårt moderne liv: medisin, mat og fossilt brennstoff.

Stefano Mancuso, en av verdens ledende forskere på plantenes nevrobiologi, viser i denne boken plantenes overraskende evne til innovasjon, til å huske og å lære, og dermed vise oss kreative løsninger på de mest presserende teknologiske og økologiske problemer vi står overfor i dag. Til tross for at planter verken har hjerne eller et sentralnervesystem, «leser» de i enda større grad enn dyr sine omgivelser. De utforsker effektivt og reagerer raskt på mulige ytre farer, og takket være deres desentraliserte kommandolinjer er de i stand til å huske tidligere farlige situasjoner og tilpasse seg nye omstendigheter.

Dette er historien om hvordan psykologen kurerte sin egen kjærlighetssorg ved å bli en utesovende friluftselsker med hang til kaffebål og mosegrodde skoger.

Vi følger Johanne Refseth fra friluftslivets spede begynnelse i Nordmarka til langturer på Norges vidder, mens hun forteller om psykologien bak det å være menneske. Om hvorfor følelser blir til magesmerter, indre uro, hodepine og konsentrasjonsproblemer. Og om hvordan vi deretter begynner å unngå de indre signalene ved å kritisere oss selv, utsette ting, ikke tørre å være lykkelige eller skrolle oss vekk fra følelsene.

Via furubål, soloppganger og nyfisket ørret viser Refseth hvordan du kan bli kvitt fysiske problemer ved å bli kjent med følelsene dine, og hvordan du får bukt med destruktive tankemønster og ødeleggende vaner og blir et helt menneske igjen.

En perle av en bok fra en av Sveriges aller fineste forfattere!

kke noe sted i Sverige har så rik fauna av sommerfugler som Stockholms skjærgård. Forfatter og entomolog Fredrik Sjöberg har gjennom arbeidet med denne essaysamlingen funnet alle sammen. "Mine studier har beregenet at det totalt finnes 78 ulike dagsommerfugler i Stockholms skjærgård. Rikdom kan måles på mange vis. Denne er en av de aller beste", sier Sjöberg selv. Selv om boka skildrer alle sommerfuglene som finnes i skjærgården, er den ikke en feltguide, men en samling personlige fortellinger som lokker, forundrer og er full av kunnskap. Boken er dessuten rikt illustrert med akvareller fra tidlig 1800-tallet.

Jordkloden med sine fjell, sletter og havbassenger har alltid vært under endring, drevet av kontinentbevegelser, vulkaner og istider. Men i dag er det menneskets aktiviteter som bidrar mest til endringene på jordoverflaten. Spor i stein gir et sveip over jordklodens dannelse, oppbygging og de geologiske prosessene. Mennesket har lært å utnytte de geologiske ressursene til råvarer, matproduksjon og energi. I utgangspunktet til glede for menneskeheten, men etter hvert også til stor skade for vårt bomiljø. Hvor mye natur må vi ofre for å gi flest mulig et verdig liv? Denne boka legger fram de faglige premissene som er en forutsetning for å kunne treffe kloke beslutninger om vår og våre barns fremtid.
