"Conosciamo meglio i nostri animali da compagnia dei nostri vicini di casa. Quasi sicuramente li amiamo di più, come ha ricordato papa Francesco. " Da quando gli animali domestici sono diventati membri ufficiali delle nostre famiglie, abbiamo dovuto decidere se essere padroni, proprietari, amici o genitori. Nel tempo in cui prendevamo la nostra decisione, i "pets" l'hanno presa per noi. Quando un uomo o una donna sceglie di adottare un "pet", la sua vita cambia per sempre.

In principio c'era Don Abbondio con il suo "Il coraggio, uno non se lo può dare". Un grande personaggio illuminato nella sua neghittosa rinuncia a scegliere il bene. Gabriele Romagnoli percorre le strade del coraggio a partire dal senso caldo dell'esortazione che spesso abbiamo conosciuto nella vita: il coraggio che, da piccoli, ci sprona a camminare, pedalare, pattinare, quello che ci invita a non avere paura, o a sollevare la testa. Non si parla in questo audiolibro del coraggio che fa di un uomo un guerriero armato o un cieco cercatore di morte (inferta o subita).

Lighthouses are striking totems of our relationship to the sea. For many, they encapsulate a romantic vision of solitary homes amongst the waves, but their original purpose is much more utilitarian than that. Still today we depend upon their guiding lights for the safe passage of ships. Nowhere is this truer than in the rock lighthouses of Great Britain and Ireland, a ring of 19 towers built between 1811-1905, so called because they were constructed on desolate rock formations in the middle of the sea, and made of granite to withstand the power of its waves.

Sarah Wiener, Köchin, Nachhaltigkeitsikone, Biobäuerin, Imkerin entführt uns in die faszinierende Welt der Bienen, die ein maßgeblicher Indikator für die Gesundheit unseres Lebensraumes sind. Ihr Credo: Bienenvölker sind komplexe Persönlichkeiten, sie verfügen über spezifische Charaktere und Eigenschaften, und sie können uns lehren, wie ein funktionierendes Gemeinwesen mit Werten wie Solidarität, Vertrauen, Arbeitsteilung und Demokratie entsteht.

Author Michael Quetting shares the hilarious and moving true story of how he became a father to seven rambunctious goslings - and the surprising things he learned along the way. Starting right at the beginning, with the eggs, his journey takes him from the incubator all the way to the airstrip, where he must attempt to teach the geese to fly as part of an ambitious scientific research initiative for the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, which tracks animal migrations around the world.

Once, farmers knew how to make a living hedge and fed their flocks on tree-branch hay. Rural people knew how to prune hazel to foster abundance: both of edible nuts, and of straight, strong, flexible rods for bridges, walls, and baskets. No place could prosper without its inhabitants knowing how to cut their trees so they would sprout again. This created the healthiest, most sustainable, and most diverse woodlands that we have ever known. In this journey from the English fens to Spain, Japan, and California, William Bryant Logan rediscovers what was once an everyday ecology.

On her 120-acre homestead high in the Colorado Rockies, beloved writer Pam Houston learns what it means to care for a piece of land and the creatures on it. Elk calves and bluebirds mark the changing seasons, winter temperatures drop to 35 below, and lightning sparks a 110,000-acre wildfire, threatening her century-old barn and all its inhabitants. Through her travels from the Gulf of Mexico to Alaska, she explores what ties her to the Earth, the ranch most of all.

Birds of a Feather is ultimately a love story between veterans and the birds they nurse back to health and between Dr. Lindner and her husband, a veteran with PTSD, who healed at Serenity Park. Full of remarkable people and colorful birds, this audiobook reminds us that we all have the power to make a difference.

Football is at a crossroads, its future imperiled by the very physicality that drives its popularity. Its grass roots - high school and youth travel program - are withering. But players from the small South Pacific American territory of Samoa are bucking that trend, quietly becoming the most disproportionately overrepresented culture in the sport. But the very thing that makes them so good at football - their extraordinary internalization of discipline and warrior self-image - makes them especially vulnerable to its pitfalls, including concussions and brain injuries.

La voce di Riccardo Cucchi è stata il cuore di ogni domenica per circa trent'anni. Dalla sua postazione appartata, isolata in mezzo alla folla formicolante sulle tribune, ha riempito i nostri pomeriggi di emozioni narrando da testimone diretto decine di campionati, centinaia di partite, migliaia di minuti di calcio. In una notte d'estate ha gridato per quattro volte "Campioni del mondo", ed è iniziata la festa di tutti, da Berlino alle piazze di paesi e città dell'Italia intera.

Il più vecchio albero italiano di cui sia certa l'età è un pino loricato che cresce in Calabria abbarbicato sul Pollino. È nato nel 1026, più giovane quindi di un suo omonimo nato nel Nord della Grecia nel 941 e considerato il più vecchio essere vivente del Mediterraneo. Il più vecchio del mondo invece è un abete rosso (un albero di Natale, per intenderci) che vive in Svezia e che nel 2008 dovrebbe aver compiuto 9550 anni. Ancorati alle radici, gli alberi non si muovono.

Bees are like oxygen: ubiquitous, essential, and, for the most part, unseen. While we might overlook them, they lie at the heart of relationships that bind the human and natural worlds. In Buzz, the beloved Thor Hanson takes us on a journey that begins 125 million years ago, when a wasp first dared to feed pollen to its young. From honeybees and bumbles to lesser-known diggers, miners, leafcutters, and masons, bees have long been central to our harvests, our mythologies, and our very existence. They've given us sweetness and light, the beauty of flowers, and as much as a third of the foodstuffs we eat. And, alarmingly, they are at risk of disappearing.

We live at the bottom of an ocean of air - 5,200 million million tons, to be exact. It sounds like a lot, but Earth’s atmosphere is smeared onto its surface in an alarmingly thin layer - 99 percent contained within 18 miles. Yet, within this fragile margin lies a magnificent realm - at once gorgeous, terrifying, capricious, and elusive. With his keen eye for identifying and uniting seemingly unrelated events, Chris Dewdney reveals to us the invisible rivers in the sky that affect how our weather works and the structure of clouds and storms and seasons, the rollercoaster of climate.

The Stone Thrower is a moving story about race and destiny written by a daughter looking for answers about her own Black history.

Suffering from depression but desperate for 'normality', Rachel Cullen found herself in failing relationships, the wrong career and a reliance on alcohol and chocolate to get her through each day. Stuck in an endless cycle of mental misery, she put on a pair of old trainers. She'd never been able to think of herself as a 'runner' before, and the first time she forced herself out the door, she knew it would hurt. Everywhere. She just didn't realise how much it would heal her, too.

The forthright, fascinating memoir of Peter Moody, trainer of Black Caviar and one of Australia's most high-profile and best-liked racing identities. The classic story of a boy from the bush who worked his way from outback Queensland all the way to Royal Ascot. As a kid growing up in tiny Wyandra, Peter Moody learned to ride almost before he could walk. Horses were part of life, and as a teenager working for local trainers he learned many lessons - some of them painful - as he built his understanding of them. A mate's introduction got him a stablehand's job for the legendary trainer Tommy Smith in Sydney, and his life changed forever.

Après avoir traversé des centaines d'épreuves, le corps fatigué et l'esprit déstabilisé par le soleil qui ne se couche jamais, alors même que sa traversée de l'Antarctique en solitaire est avancée, Frédéric Dion est victime d'une mauvaise bourrasque et perd son traîneau. Commence alors son combat contre le vent, la poudrerie naissante et le froid mordant afin de retrouver au plus vite son matériel de survie. D'expérience, Frédéric sait qu'il ne lui reste qu'une vingtaine de minutes, car, passé ce seuil, son traîneau sera recouvert de neige et impossible à repérer.

Through nine years as a columnist with The Age, Bob Murphy revealed himself to be a very different footballer indeed. Shunning the stern-faced statistical analysis that dominates the AFL landscape, he revisited the things about the game that captivated him as a child. His words were the smells of leather and liniment leaping off the page. Gentle, romantic, funny, whimsical, thoughtful, sad - Murphy’s writing is rich, tender yet powerful, above all achingly human.

Le vite di Pollastri e Girardengo ebbero corsi paralleli, e non solo a causa della comune discendenza novese. I testimoni sono concordi: Sante e Costante erano amici, e continuarono a vedersi negli anni della latitanza, si rispettavano e si tenevano informati l'un l'altro. Entrambi provenivano da quella genia tra ligure, francese e piemontese forgiata dalla fame e dal freddo. Entrambi vissero una dura storia di emancipazione dalla miseria.
