Arthur Cornwallis Evans (1860-1935) was chaplain on the steamship HMS Calliope on a three-year voyage to Asia and Australia (January 1887 to April 1890) that covered 76,814 nautical miles (88,395 miles), with more than 500 days spent at sea. He compiled this lively account of the voyage at the request of his shipmates, drawing information from several of their journals, and published it in Portsmouth in 1890 before the crew dispersed. It contains both brief factual entries about the progress of the voyage and more sustained descriptions of life on board ship and in port, including some naval culinary 'delicacies', an encounter with a robber in Hong Kong, the Russian foritifications at Vladivostok, fireworks in Sydney celebrating the centenary of New South Wales, the opening of Calliope Dock in Auckland (still in use today), visits to several Pacific islands, cricket matches and regattas, and an eclipse of the sun.

Der Klimawandel, ist er die Ursache für die Bedrohungen auf unserem Planeten? «Nein, so der Ökonom Hartmut Stieger, der Klimawandel ist nicht Ursache, der Klimawandel ist Folge. Folge der irrwitzigen Vorstellung, dass wir wirtschaftliches Wachstum und Wohlstand beliebig mehren können, ohne Ende.»Die Erde ist erschöpft. Wir, die Menschen, die sie ausgepowert haben, sind es auch. Was ist da falsch gelaufen? Hartmut Stieger stellt neue Denkanstöße zur Diskussion: Es ist der faszinierende Verlauf der Turgot-Kurve, die überraschend einfach erklärt: So greifen Konkurrenz und grenzenloses Effizienzstreben ineinander und drohen das bewährte Marktsystem und letztlich das Leben auf unserem Planeten zu zerstören. In Salon-Manier ergänzt Stieger wertvolle Informationen aus Wirtschaft und Umweltforschung um autobiografische Episoden und rüttelt als Vater, Großvater und Urgroßvater und somit Vertreter der vor-vor-letzten Generation auf mit «Neun Provokationen». Gibt es einen Ausweg aus der Misere? Für die Zukunft sieht Stieger eine überraschende Perspektive, die bereits in aller Munde ist: Künstliche Intelligenz. Sie sei nicht nur Gefahr, wie von vielen befürchtet, sie könnte Teil der Lösung werden

In Earth, the acclaimed author of Trilobite! and Life takes us on a grand tour of the earth's physical past, showing how the history of plate tectonics is etched in the landscape around us. Beginning with Mt. Vesuvius, whose eruption in Roman times helped spark the science of geology, and ending in a lab in the West of England where mathematical models and lab experiments replace direct observation, Richard Fortey tells us what the present says about ancient geologic processes. He shows how plate tectonics came to rule the geophysical landscape and how the evidence is written in the hills and in the stones. And in the process, he takes us on a wonderful journey around the globe to visit some of the most fascinating and intriguing spots on the planet.

Every autumn, the monarch butterflies east of the Rockies migrate from as far north as Canada to Mexico. Memory is not their guide — no one butterfly makes the round trip — but each year somehow find their way to the same fifty acres of forest on the high slopes of Mexico's Neovolcanic Mountains, and then make the return trip in the spring.In Four Wings and a Prayer, Sue Halpern sets off on an adventure to delve into the secrets behind this extraordinary phenomenon. She visits scientists and butterfly lovers across the country, offering a keenly observed portrait of the monarchs' migration and of the people for whom they have become a glorious obsession. Combining science, memoir, and travel writing, Four Wings and a Prayer is an absorbing travelogue and a fascinating meditation on a profound mystery of the natural world.

Charles Daubeny (1795-1867) first published Active and Extinct Volcanos in 1826. This reissue is of the second, augmented edition of 1848, which the author explains was significantly updated in the light of the work of Charles Darwin. Part I contains geological descriptions of most of the world's known volcanos, arranged by region, many of them based on Daubeny's own observations. Part II contains descriptions of earthquake-prone regions, thermal springs, and thermal waters. In Part III Daubeny introduces his influential theory of the causes of volcanic action, proposing that it results from contact between water and metals beneath the earth's surface. He also discusses the factors that give volcanos particular characteristics, and the impact of volcanos on their environments. This pioneering work of Victorian geology provided the scientific community with some of the first descriptions and data sets on previously unstudied volcanic regions, and is still referred to today.
