Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In one way or another, the "Cold War" affected everyone. Two sides in a cold conflict had amassed a weapons arsenal so formidable that either one could destroy an entire continent. There was always an underlying fear that at any moment someone might press a red button and effectively end the world. The only thing that kept the world intact was something called "Mutually Assured Destruction." Both sides knew that if that red button were pushed, the other side would retaliate and another red button would be pushed a half a world away. Neither continent would survive. Civilization as we knew it would end. History and progress would be turned back by several millennia. Here is the story of one participant in the cold war. A young man from England, growing up in America, joins the US Air Force during the Vietnam war, a conflict that was anything but cold. Follow him through the brutal competition of Air Force pilot training, through grueling survival schools, and into the 5th Fighter Interceptor Squadron where he flies the Mach 2 F-106. Thrill with him as he soars through the air at supersonic speed. Live through the anguish of waking up to find that the cold war appears about to explode into Armageddon. Grieve with him at the death of two of his comrades in arms. Everyone who grew up during that tense era has a story to tell. Collectively, those stories are the history of the cold war. Here is one of those stories. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

LEGATURA EDITORIALE. Condition: NUOVO. Maestri silenziosi non è infatti un libro sugli alberi. È una storia del mondo raccontata dal punto di vista degli alberi: di chi, muovendosi solo impercettibilmente, ha imparato a durare; e, nel tempo lungo della Terra, ha continuato silenziosamente a orientarne il destino. Rimanere nello stesso posto per anni, decadi, secoli, rimanere in uno stesso luogo per una vita intera eppure riuscire a trasformare tutto attorno a sé. Maestri silenziosi ci rivela come, nonostante la loro apparente immobilità, gli alberi siano riusciti nei millenni a plasmare il fuoco, l'acqua, il suolo, l'aria, gli animali e persino noi umani: un resoconto appassionante e originale dei molti modi in cui si sono rivelati i più grandi agenti del cambiamento sulla Terra. Quello in cui ci accompagna Harriet Rix è un viaggio che attraversa 385 milioni di anni e cinque continenti, conducendoci dall'Amazzonia al Libano, dai monti alla Cina all'isola di Creta fino alle Canarie, sulle tracce delle imprese incredibili di questi nostri fratelli verdi: dai lauri che riescono a far piovere anche quando non piove, ai pini che si immolano nelle fiamme per poter crescere più velocemente; dalle conifere che sfruttano il vento per diffondere il più possibile i pollini, alle yucche che si approfittano di un particolarissimo tipo di falena per riprodursi; fino agli alberi robusti che offrirono un giaciglio ai nostri avi primati, cullandoli notte dopo notte, mentre sognavano e sviluppavano le doti umane che ci avrebbero distinti come specie. Mescolando paleontologia, biologia, chimica e osservazione diretta, Rix riesce a restituirci la meraviglia dietro ogni chioma vegetale e assieme le storie che le loro foglie contengono: perché ci piace il cioccolato, perché nel Carbonifero esistevano insetti grandi come gabbiani, perché piantiamo tronchi quando vogliamo fare rivoluzioni. Pagg. 320, brossura.…
