Rozšírenie vtákov na Slovensku
Kniha zaznamenáva rozšírenie vtákov na Slovensku v rokoch 1980 - 1999. Je výsledkom práce širokého kolektívu 31 autorov textov, ktorí vychádzali z literárnych podkladov a práce 271 terénnych spolupracovníkov. Slovensko sa tým zaradilo k nemnohým kraj
inám, ktoré majú aktualizovaný stav poznatkov o rozšírení, početnosti a ochrane vtákov vo forme ucelenej monografie. Autori sumaritujú v textoch poznatky o distribúcii všetkých 340 druhov divožijúcich vtákov, potvrdených na Slovensku k 1. januáru 200
0 (okrem voľne žijúceho holuba domáceho). Texty doplňuje okolo 400 máp rozšírenia vybraných druhov počas hniezdenia, zimy, prípadne máp mimohniezdneho výskytu. Texty o druhoch obsahujú informácie o ich rozšírení v Európe, detailne na Slovensku, o sta
ve ohrozenia a ochranárskych návrhoch, ale aj podrobné údaje o statuse ich ochrany podľa medzinárodných kritérií. Kniha uvádza aj odhady národných hniezdnych a zimujúcich populácií všetkých druhov vtákov, ako aj ich populačné a územné trendy v rokoch
1980-1999.
Súhrnný text ku každému druhu a kapitoly, úvod, metodika a výsledky sú uvedené aj v anglickom jazyku.

Pathless Forest
The incredible of one man's obsession to find and protect the world's largest flowers
As a child, Chris Thorogood dreamed of seeing Rafflesia - the plant with the world's largest flowers. He crafted life-size replicas in an abandoned cemetery, carefully bringing them to life with paper and paint. Today he is a botanist at the University of Oxford's Botanic Garden and has dedicated his life to studying the biology of such extraordinary plants, working alongside botanists and foresters in Southeast Asia to document these huge, mysterious blooms.
Pathless Forest is the story of his journey to study and protect this remarkable plant - a biological enigma, still little understood, which invades vines as a leafless parasite and steals its food from them. We join him on a mind-bending adventure, as he faces a seemingly impenetrable barrier of weird, wonderful and sometimes fearsome flora; finds himself smacking off leeches, hanging off vines, wading through rivers; and following indigenous tribes into remote, untrodden rainforests in search of Rafflesia's ghostly, foul-smelling blooms, more than a metre across.
We depend on plants for our very existence, but two in five of the world's species are threatened with extinction - nobody knows how many species of Rafflesia might already have disappeared through deforestation. Pathless Forest is part thrilling adventure story and part an inspirational call to action to safeguard a fast-disappearing wilderness. To view plants in a different way, as vital for our own future as for that of the planet we share. And to see if Rafflesia itself can be saved.

Bez lesů jsi v háji, člověče!
Kniha se zabývá hlavními ekologickými problémy světa, které rozebírá populárním stylem. Velká pozornost je věnována lesům, ať už našim, nebo tropickým. Autor pracoval a cestoval po celém světě, lesnictví se věnuje už 70 let, z toho 60 let pedagogicky působil na lesnické fakultě. Patřil také k prvním v Československu, kteří se zabývali tropickým lesnictvím. V průběhu 26 let pracoval v tropech celkem 9 let na projektech bilaterálních (Tanzanie, Afrika) a na čtyřech projektech multilaterálních pro FAO OSN (Bangladéš, Vietnam, Laos).
Kniha pojednává nejdříve o českých lesnících, kteří spolu s rakouskými a německými kolegy prakticky založili lesnictví jako obor i jako resort, který se pak šířil do celého světa.
Autor vychází z toho, že naše středoškolská mládež se nedozvídá nic o našem lesnictví, které začalo už v 60. letech pronikat do světa, a to především tropického, kde se už řešily významné problémy světové ekologie a lesnictví.
Otevřeně hodnotí masové ubývání tropických deštných lesů v Africe, Asii i Jižní Americe.
Zcela jednoznačně také odsuzuje situace, kdy se svolávají světové summity, které nic nikdy nevyřešily, ale zato trpěly rabování světových tropických lesů.
Kniha dokazuje, že i o velkých a světových ekologických a lesnických problémech se dá psát prostými slovy. Autor věří, že publikace pomůže otevřít oči mnoha lidem, kterým matou hlavu světoví politici, byznysmeni a média, hlavní opory ničení lesů na světě.

Weathering
Rocks and mountains have withstood aeons of life on our planet - gradually eroding, shifting, solidifying, and weathering. We might spend a little less time on earth, but humans are also weathering: evolving and changing as we're transformed by the shifting climates of our lives and experiences. So, what might these ancient natural forms have to teach us about resilience and change?
In a stunning exploration of our own connection to these enduring forms, outdoor psychotherapist and geologist Ruth Allen takes us on a journey through deep time and ancient landscapes, showing how geology - which has formed the bedrock of her own adult life and approach to therapy - can offer us a new way of thinking about our own grief, change and boundaries.
In a world shaken by physical, political, and medical disasters, Weathering argues for a deeper understanding of the ground beneath our feet to better serve ourselves and the world we live in.
Adventures in Volcanoland
Adventures in Volcanoland charts journeys across deserts, through jungles and up ice caps, to some of the world's most important volcanoes, from Nicaragua to Hawaii, Santorini to Ethiopia, exploring Tamsin Mather's obsession with these momentous geological formations, the cultural and religious roles they have played in the minds of those living around them at different times throughout history, and the science behind their formation and eruptions.
Volcanoes help to make and shape our world, bursting forth from inside of the earth and, in many places, looming over us. Present since the earth's beginning they continue to maintain its life support systems and, their extraordinary chemistry may even have created the ingredients needed for life to kick start.
In some places volcanoes are even beginning to provide us with part of the energy we need to curb our use of fossil fuels. They have fascinated humans for millennia, their eruptions charted throughout history, seeming to show us how the earth has been living, breathing and changing for billions of years.
Why exactly are these geological mammoths found where they are? What can they teach us about our environment, the Anthropocene and the ecological disaster that is climate change? Are there volcanoes on other planets, and what might they tell us about whether we could one day live there if we exhaust our own habitat? How can we predict if or when volcanoes might explode?
Adventures in Volcanoland is an enthralling mix of travel, science and environmental writing for fans of Robert MacFarlane and Raynor Winn.
Deep Water
Plunge into the depths of the unknown in this thrilling work of nonfiction that combines science, history, and nature writing to explore the deepest recesses of the natural world.
Oceans created, shaped, and sustain not just human life, but all life on Earth, and perhaps beyond it. They are our history ? from evolution to exploration and colonialism; our present ? from beach holidays to transporting food and goods; and, as rising sea levels and warming water reshape coastlines and the climate, our future.
Deep Water is a reckoning with humankind’s complex relationship with the ocean, a book shaped by tidal movements and vast currents, and lit by the presence of other minds and other ways of being. It speaks directly and uncompromisingly of the urgency of the environmental catastrophe that is overtaking us, but is also suffused with the glories of the ocean, and alert to the extraordinary efforts of the scientists and researchers whose work helps us understand its secrets. Immense in scope but also profoundly personal, it offers vital new ways of understanding humanity’s place on our planet, and shows that the oceans might yet save us all.
