Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Pulitzer Prize-nominated author explores the environmental complexity of trees, and their importance in our experience of nature and life itself.The acclaimed author of Pulitzer Prize finalist The Forest Unseen visits with nature's most magnificent networkers - trees.In The Songs of Trees, David George Haskell brings his acute powers of observation to the biological networks that surround all species, including humans. He visits a dozen trees around the world, exploring their connections with webs of fungi, bacterial communities, cooperative and destructive animals, and other plants. An Amazonian ceibo tree reveals the rich ecological turmoil of the tropical forest, along with threats from expanding oilfields. Thousands of miles away, a balsam fir in Canada survives in poor soil only with the help of fungal partners, in links nearly two billion years old.By unearthing charcoal left by Ice Age humans and petrified redwoods in the Rocky Mountains, Haskell shows how the Earth's climate has emerged from exchanges among trees, soil communities and the atmosphere. Now humans have transformed these networks, powering our societies with wood, tending some forests but destroying others.Through his exploration, Haskell shows that this networked view of life enriches our understanding of biology, human nature and ethics. When we listen to trees, nature's great connectors, we learn how to inhabit the relationships that give life its source, substance and beauty.

Condition: As New. Originalverpackt. Die Welt in einer Nussschale: Über ein Jahr hat der amerikanische Biologe David Haskell einen Quadratmeter altgewachsenen Wald immer wieder besucht und bis ins Detail studiert. Ausgerüstet nur mit Objektiv, Lupe und Notizbuch, Zeit und Geduld, richtet der Biologe seinen Blick auf das Allerkleinste: Flechten und Moose, Tierspuren oder einen vorbeihuschenden Salamander, Eiskristalle oder die ersten Frühlingsblüten. Und entfaltet mit dem Wissen des Naturforschers und der Beschreibungskunst eines Dichters ein umfassendes Panorama des Lebens im Wald, des feingewobenen Zusammenlebens in einem jahrhundertealten Ökosystem. Eine Grand Tour zwischen Wissenschaft und Poesie, die die Natur in ihrer ganzen Komplexität und Schönheit erfahrbar macht. »David Haskell führt den Leser zu einer neuen Form der Naturbetrachtung, in der das Unsichtbare zum Vorschein kommt, das Kleine zu großen Fragen führt und die unendliche Komplexität und Schönheit alles Lebendigen sich immer deutlicher entfaltet.« E. O. Wilson.

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Nuevo. 22x14 cm. 304 pp. Los árboles están llenos de música. El viento silba, los insectos zumban, el hielo hace crujir la madera, la gente charla a su alrededor. Otros sonidos nos resultan imperceptibles: la savia circulando por su interior, el balanceo de las ramas y las vibraciones de los pasos cercanos. Bajo la superficie acústica encontramos las canciones ocultas, las historias que surgen cuando seguimos el sonido hasta su origen. Cada canción revela una particularidad del árbol y de su entorno. Haskell nos revela un mundo en tensión entre la cooperación y el conflicto, cuyas normas se renegocian y reformulan continuamente. Un mundo que se ve ahora sometido a más tensión que nunca, a medida que se somete a la urbanización, el cambio climático, el agotamiento de los recursos y los conflictos humanos.

Brossura. Condition: new. Traduzione di Casto A.Torino, 2023; br., pp. 456, cm 16x24.(Saggi). Viviamo su un pianeta animato da canti, musiche e parole. David George Haskell esplora come sono nate tutte queste meraviglie sonore. Dalle foreste pluviali vibranti di suoni di insetti e dalle paludi percorse dai ritmici richiami delle rane impariamo a conoscere i poteri creativi dell'evoluzione. Dagli uccelli delle Montagne Rocciose del Colorado a quelli delle strade di Parigi, scopriamo come gli animali apprendano i loro canti e si adattino ai nuovi ambienti. Sotto le onde del mare, cogliamo la nostra parentela con gamberi, delfini e balene. Nelle mutevoli vibrazioni sonore degli animali dei diversi continenti, sperimentiamo l'eredità della tettonica delle placche, la storia più remota degli animali e dei loro spostamenti intorno al mondo e le bizzarrie dell'estetica evolutiva. A partire dalle origini del canto animale e attraversando l'intero arco della storia della Terra, Haskell illumina e celebra la graduale comparsa dei vari suoni nel mondo. Così, dai flauti d'avorio di mammut delle caverne del Paleolitico, dai violini delle moderne sale da concerto o dalle registrazioni che ascoltiamo con gli auricolari, apprendiamo che musica e linguaggi umani appartengono alla stessa storia ecologica ed evolutiva del pianeta. Noi uomini produciamo musica, ma siamo anche dei distruttori che soffocano o mettono a tacere molti suoni della Terra. Haskell ci accompagna nelle foreste minacciate, negli oceani sconvolti dai sonar e dai rumori prodotti dalle navi e per le strade caotiche delle città per dimostrare che l'estinzione di alcuni suoni non comporta solo la perdita di meri ornamenti sensoriali. Il suono è una forza generativa, e quindi la cancellazione delle diversità sonore rende il mondo meno creativo, meno giusto e meno bello. Suoni fragili e selvaggi è un invito ad ascoltare, meravigliarsi, agire. Libro.
