En su trabajo más ambicioso hasta la fecha, Thomas L. Friedman muestra los movimientos tectónicos que demuestran que hemos entrado en una era de aceleración vertiginosa - y explica cómo vivir en ella. Tres son las fuerzas aceleradoras que están cambiando nuestro planeta: la ley de Moore (tecnología), el mercado (globalización) y la madre naturaleza (cambio climático y biodiversidad). Estos aceleradores están cambiando cinco reinos clave: el lugar de trabajo, la política, la geopolítica, la ética, y la comunidad.

Barcellona, Manchester o Salonicco, Torino, Bari o Genova: cosa hanno in comune queste città? Il fatto che possono essere considerate smart, misurandole con diversi parametri che vanno dai trasporti all'istruzione, dalla sanità alla sostenibilità ambientale all'innovazione tecnologica. Smart city è dunque una definizione complessa cha allude ad una trasformazione delle nostre attuali città con l'obiettivo non solo del superamento delle emergenze energetiche ed ambientali, ma anche della qualità del vivere per il cittadino e per la comunità, sul piano sociale ed economico.

Nas serras mais escondidas de Portugal trava-se um combate de séculos entre lobos e pastores. São dois exércitos acossados, os últimos resistentes dos montes. Este livro fala de dois inimigos, sim, mas também do facto de estarem ambos cercados. Do desaparecimento do mundo rural, da extinção da vida selvagem, de uma certa ideia de progresso que não serve homens nem animais. Este é o relato de uma guerra silenciosa que está a chegar ao fim. E de como os ódios antigos só podem derivar de amores profundos.

Willkommen im Zeitalter der grünen Lügen! Wir recyceln, kaufen "klimaneutral" ein und vertrauen darauf, dass Unternehmen und Politik ihre Nachhaltigkeits- versprechen halten.

Greenpeace-Expertin Ursula Bittner zeigt, wie sich Konzerne und Co. als Umweltretter:innen ausgeben, während sie die Klimakrise und das Artensterben befeuern.

‘If you care about the planet, and about the people and animals who live on it, there are two ways to think about this. You can keep on hoping that catastrophe is preventable, and feel ever more frustrated or enraged by the world’s inaction. Or you can accept that disaster is coming, and begin to rethink what it means to have hope.’ The honesty and realism of Jonathan Franzen’s writings on climate have been widely denounced and just as widely celebrated.

Four years after Therese Greenwood and her husband moved to Fort McMurray, Alberta, their new community was shattered by one of the worst wildfires in Canadian history.

In Wilderlands, archaeologist Eloise Kane unearths 12,000 years of our changing relationship with and influence on the landscape. Through prehistory, Roman occupation, the Middle Ages and beyond, we see the unfamiliar beasts of our old wild make way for species such as brown hare and fallow deer, now romanticised as eternal symbols of the British countryside, but introduced much later than we might think. Places free from our influence haven't existed for a very long time. But Eloise Kane invites us to rethink our definition of the wild - not as separate from us.
