La història de Barcelona en 10 passejades: Des dels romans fins a l'actualitat
by Jaume Grau MasbernatDes de la ruta de l'aigua, de les revoltes, de les guerres o de les epidèmies fins a la ruta del treball, de les obres i especulació o la Barcelona màgica, Jaume Grau ens convida a caminar per la ciutat per descobrir tota la seva història. La millor manera de conèixer Barcelona és caminant-la. En els seus carrers i places hi ha escrita tota la seva història i només cal obrir bé els ulls per descobrir-la. La Barcelona d'avui és el testimoni viu de les Barcelones d'ahir, i en les seves pedres ha quedat imprès un relat històric apassionant. Les deu rutes temàtiques que proposa Jaume Grau per recórrer la ciutat es poden fer caminant, cadascú seguint el seu pas, o, fins i tot, dissenyant el seu propi trajecte. Des de la ruta de l'aigua, de les revoltes, de les guerres o de les epidèmies fins a la ruta del treball, de les obres i de l'especulació o de la Barcelona màgica, l'autor ens convida a mirar-la a través de la història.Una ciutat que amaga molts més racons i curiositats dels que ens hauríem pogut imaginar, com saber per exemple què hi fa una sabata a la façana de la catedral. Però també ens revela un passat dur i difícil, com el que podem observar al turó de la Rovira, on centenars de barcelonins van instal·lar les seves barraques sobre els antics emplaçaments dels canons antiaeris, que defensaven la ciutat dels atacs de l'aviació italiana. Obriu les pàgines d'aquest llibre, passegeu, mireu i passeu-vos-ho bé: la ciutat que caminareu és única, «la gran encisera», com la va definir Joan Maragall. Ressenya:«Passejar amb el llibre a la mà, seguint un dels itineraris que proposa, ens apropa a aquest món ocult i sorprenentment molt viu d'una ciutat tan intensa com és Barcelona. Està molt bé veure els monuments i les atraccions barcelonines amb ulls de turista, però potser ja és hora d'anar una mica més enllà i mirar-se Barcelona amb els ulls de la Història, de la vida, en definitiva.»Enric Calpena
La Leggenda di Ron Anejo
by Ed Teja Vita CumboNarra la leggenda che il Capitano Ron Anejo viva nella isole dei Caraibi, nessuno sa di preciso dove, ma è certo che laggiù tutti conoscano il suo nome, perchè se ti trovi nei guai, lui è l'uomo giusto per tirartene fuori, e, basterà chiedere di lui e sarà lui stesso a trovarti come ogni supereroe leggendario farebbe. Quando un uomo decide di avventurarsi nel mar dei Caraibi, solo, incosciente, senza alcuna esperienza nella navigazione, e con una visione un po' troppo romantica di cosa significhi vivere su di una barca ai tropici, allora questa non può che essere la premessa di una infinita serie di disgraziatissime e strampalate avventure. Questo tipo di avventure sono però proprio quelle che finiscono per rapirti il cuore e fare di un uomo qualunque un vero lupo di mare.

La Niña and the Making of Climate Optimism: Remembering Rain
by Julia MillerThis book examines the deep connection Australians have with their climate to understand contemporary views on human-induced climate change. It is the first study of the Australian relationship with La Niña and it explains how fundamental this relationship is to the climate change debate both locally and globally. While unease with the Australian environment was a hallmark of early settler relations with a new continent, this book argues that the climate itself quickly became a source of hope and linked to progress. Once observed, weather patterns coalesced into recognizable cycles of wet and dry years and Australians adopted a belief in the certainty of good seasons. It was this optimistic response to climate linked to La Niña that laid the groundwork for this relationship with the Australian environment. This book will appeal to scholars and students of the environmental humanities, history and science as well as anyone concerned about climate change.
La Purisíma Concepción: The Enduring History of a California Mission (Brief History)
by Michael R. HardwickIn two centuries, La Purísima Concepción went from a fledgling frontier mission to a renowned California State Historic Park. Once home to many Spanish soldiers, settlers and hundreds of Chumash Indians, La Purísima held the seat of the California Mission government under Father Mariano Payeras. It withstood catastrophic events, including widespread disease in early years and a great Southern California earthquake in 1812. Emerging from ruins for the last time in 1934, after restoration by the Civilian Conservation Corps, structures appear today as they did in the early nineteenth century. The uniquely restored California Mission complex operates as a state park in a pastoral setting. Author and archivist Michael R. Hardwick chronicles the story of La Purísima and the resilient people and culture that made a lasting influence.
A la taula dels altres: A peu pel Priorat
by Josep Maria EspinàsEspinàs comparteix l'experiència de caminar per un Priorat en temps de verema, amb costums i personatges que avui semblen inventats. El 1957 Josep M. Espinàs va conèixer un Priorat del qual, amb l'excepció del vi, se'n tenien molt poques notícies, en una època en què encara es traginava el raïm en rucs i s'anava a buscar l'aigua a la font amb àmfores. En el llibre A la taula dels altres, l'escriptor camina per aquesta comarca durant la verema i passeja per uns pobles on un foraster és una raresa. Espinàs esmorza i conversa amb la gent que troba a les vinyes i coneix una sèrie de personatges curiosos que, a través de la mirada de l'escriptor, hi apareixen molt ben retratats. El que era una crònica de viatge, fidel a la realitat, ara s'ha convertit en una narració que reviu un món que forma part del nostre passat.

A Lab for All Seasons: The Laboratory Revolution in Modern Botany and the Rise of Physiological Plant Ecology
by Sharon E. KingslandThe first book to chronicle how innovation in laboratory designs for botanical research energized the emergence of physiological plant ecology as a vibrant subdiscipline Laboratory innovation since the mid-twentieth century has powered advances in the study of plant adaptation, evolution, and ecosystem function. The phytotron, an integrated complex of controlled-environment greenhouse and laboratory spaces, invented by Frits W. Went in the 1950s, set off a worldwide laboratory movement and transformed the plant sciences. Sharon Kingsland explores this revolution through a comparative study of work in the United States, France, Australia, Israel, the USSR, and Hungary. These advances in botanical research energized physiological plant ecology. Case studies explore the development of phytotron spinoffs such as mobile laboratories, rhizotrons, and ecotrons. Scientific problems include the significance of plant emissions of volatile organic compounds, symbiosis between plants and soil fungi, and the discovery of new pathways for photosynthesis as an adaptation to hot, dry climates. The advancement of knowledge through synthesis is a running theme: linking disciplines, combining laboratory and field research, and moving across ecological scales from leaf to ecosystem. The book also charts the history of modern scientific responses to the emerging crisis of food insecurity in the era of global warming.
Lab Girl
by Hope JahrenAn illuminating debut memoir of a woman in science; a moving portrait of a long-time collaboration, in work and in life; and a stunningly fresh look at plants that will forever change how you see and think about the natural world.Acclaimed scientist Hope Jahren has built three laboratories in which she's studied trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. Her first book might have been a revelatory treatise on plant life. Lab Girl is that, but it is also so much more. Because in it, Jahren also shares with us her inspiring life story, in prose that takes your breath away. Lab Girl is a book about work, about love, and about the mountains that can be moved when those two things come together. It is told through Jahren's remarkable stories: about the things she's discovered in her lab, as well as how she got there; about her childhood--hours of unfettered play in her father's laboratory; about how she found a sanctuary in science, and learned to perform lab work "with both the heart and the hands"; about a brilliant and wounded man named Bill, who became her loyal colleague and best friend; about their adventurous, sometimes rogue research trips, which take them from the Midwest all across the United States and over the Atlantic, from the ever-light skies of the North Pole to tropical Hawaii; and about her constant striving to do and be the best she could, never allowing personal or professional obstacles to cloud her dedication to her work. Jahren's insights on nature enliven every page of this book. Lab Girl allows us to see with clear eyes the beautiful, sophisticated mechanisms within every leaf, blade of grass, and flower petal, and also the power within ourselves to face--with bravery and conviction--life's ultimate challenge: discovering who you are.From the Hardcover edition.

Laboratory Earth: The Planetary Gamble We Can't Afford To Lose
by Stephen H. SchneiderLaboratory Earth taps the relevant knowledge from physical, biological, and social sciences needed to study the planet holistically. This so-called Earth Systems Science fosters a new way to understand the Earth and our roles as inhabitants, with the purpose of building solutions to the bewildering global environment and overdevelopment. Educational, business, health, and governmental organizations often dissect the world into narrow but highly specialized disciplines--economics, ecology, cardiology, meteorology, glaciology, or political science, to name a few. But real world problems, like urban sprawl, public health, poverty, toxic waste, economic development, the ozone hole, or global warming, do not fit neatly into disciplinary boxes. However, author Stephen Schneider asserts that these contemporary issues must be viewed as systems of interconnected subelements. This is especially true for global environmental problems, since they arise from increasing numbers of people demanding higher standards of living and willing to use the cheapest available technologies to pursue these growth-oriented goals, even if the unintended byproducts include land degradation, toxic pollutants, species extinctions, or global climate change. To first understand and then solve such problems, we must learn to view the Earth and our socioeconomic engine as one integrated system. Schneider, who in the 1970s predicted global warming would become "demonstrable” by the turn of the century, chooses that debate to illustrate how this twenty-first century Earth Systems Science approach works, introducing us to the sharp controversies and highly visible debates among climatologists, ecologists, economists, industrialists, and political interests over the seriousness and solutions to the climate change crisis. He begins with a fascinating journey to the beginning of geologic time on Earth and traces from there the coevolution of climate and life over the next four billion years. Along the way we learn about the Gaia Hypothesis, the demise of the dinosaurs, and the likelihood of an impending ice age. Schneider traces our climatic history not only from the beginning and up to the twentieth century, but deep into the twenty-first as well. He depicts the next one hundred years as a potentially perilous period for climate and life--unless we citizens of Earth recognize and then work to control the unintended global scale experiment we are foisting on ourselves and all other life on "Laboratory Earth. ” This "lab” is not built of glass, wires, and tubes, but of insects, soils, air, oceans, birds, trees, and people. While no honest scientist can claim to have clairvoyant vision into the twenty-first century, Schneider optimistically demonstrates that enough is already known to command our attention and to insure that the juggernaut of human impacts on Earth doesn’t turn into a gamble we can’t afford to lose.
Laboratory Earth (SCIENCE MASTERS)
by Stephen H SchneiderAn extremely readable account on the scientific essentials of the global warming debateThe possibility of global climatic change as a result of increasing numbers of people requiring higher stands of living has spawned an international controversy over the appropriateness of controls on deforestation and energy use. In order to address the political debate it is essential to understand the scientific background that underlies this problem. Laboratory Earth takes the reader on a journey from the dawn of earth's climate and biological evolution through the era of the dinosaurs, past the Ice Age and into the shadowy environmental future increasingly dominated by human activities. In the final analysis it will be human values more than scientific methods that must be applied to decide how to gamble with the fate of the earth.

Lady Grayl: Owl With a Mission
by Robert W. Nero"This is the story of a man and his owl. But what a man and what an owl! The owl is one of our planet’s most beautiful and elusive beings, an enchanting spook, a feathered spirit from some ancient world. "The man is Robert Nero, his name synonymous with that of the Great Gray Owl, his love affair with the species spanning twenty-five years. For me, a non-professional adrift in a sea of biologists, it is heartening to find in Dr. Nero not just the able scientific mind but also a sense of wonder, undiminished by the years. Perhaps it is the mortality of all living things that makes them exquisite to him, for he writes of their brief beauty in poetry and prose. His words remind us of joys we once knew, of worlds to which we have grown blind. "What a privilege it is to share a time on Earth with a man like this, and to call him friend." - Katherine McKeever, The Owl Foundation, Vineland, 1994 "Bob Nero, one of Canada’s finest nature writers, has done it again! His fifth book, about Lady Grayl, is a personal account, something close to a love story. For nine years, since the rescue of a starving runt owlet from a wild brood, he has taken his beautiful owl, Lady Grayl, to countless schools and public meetings to preach the gospel of conservation. She and Bob are well-known throughout Manitoba, and beyond. "Bob’s careful observations of this imprinted owl supplement his 25 years of research into Great Gray Owls in the wild. Six sensitive poems and numerous photographs depict the owl in many moods and settings. This book will rank along with Bernd Heinrich’s acclaimed One Man’s Owl, which dealt with an imprinted Great Horned Owl, and will be of special interest to all who have been fortunate enough to see Lady Grayl." - C. Stuart Houston, University of Saskatchewan
