Igel schützen, Bienen helfen, Vögel füttern: Projekte zum Schutz bedrohter Arten sind beliebt. Aber sie reichen nicht aus, um die Biodiversität zu erhalten. Ohne Blattläuse werden Vogelküken nicht satt, ohne Springschwänze und Asseln entsteht kein Humus, ohne fruchtbaren Boden gibt es keine Blüten für die Bienen.Mit ihrem Buch macht Sigrid Tinz deutlich, warum auch die unscheinbaren, unbeliebten und unbekannten Arten im großen Netzwerk der Natur so wichtig sind. Dazu nimmt die Geoökologin verschiedene Lebensräume im Garten und in der Landschaft genauer unter die Lupe und beschreibt unterhaltsam und fundiert, wie wichtig die einzelnen Akteure der Nahrungsnetze und ihre komplexen Beziehungsgeflechte sind. Gartenboden, Blumenbeet, Wiese oder Mauer werden so zu Schauplätzen des Fressens und Gefressenwerdens. Im Vergleich zu den spektakulären Nahrungsnetzen der ostafrikanischen Savanne oder des arktischen Meeres ist vor unserer Haustür alles ein bisschen kleiner und unspektakulärer, bei genauer Betrachtung aber genauso spannend und schützenswert.Mit diesem Buch wächst das Verständnis für die Bedeutung der vielfältigen Beziehungen innerhalb der Ökosysteme - vor allem für uns Menschen.

What does it mean to be intelligent? Is it something unique to humans - or do we share it with other beings? Recent years have seen rapid advances in 'artificial' intelligence, which increasingly appears to be something stranger than we ever imagined. At the same time, we are becoming more aware of the other intelligences which have been with us all along, unrecognized. These other beings are the animals, plants, and natural systems that surround us, and are slowly revealing their complexity and knowledge - just as the new technologies we've built are threatening to cause their extinction, and ours. In Ways of Being, writer and artist James Bridle considers the fascinating, uncanny and multiple ways of existing on earth. What can we learn from these other forms of intelligence and personhood, and how can we change our societies to live more equitably with one another and the non-human world? From Greek oracles to octopuses, forests to satellites, Bridle tells a radical new story about ecology, technology and intelligence. We must, they argue, expand our definition of these terms to build a meaningful and free relationship with the non-human, one based on solidarity and cognitive diversity. We have so much to learn, and many worlds to gain.

An exquisitely illustrated, one-of-a-kind celebration of the hidden beauty of nature and the ingenuity of birds Susan Ogilvy started painting bird nests almost by accident. One day, while tidying up her garden after a storm, she found a chaffinch nest - a strange, sodden lump on the grass under a fir tree. She carried it inside and placed it on a newspaper; over the next few hours, as the water drained out of it, the sodden lump blossomed into a mossy jewel. She was amazed, and dropped everything to make a painting of the nest at exact life size.This was the start of an obsession; Ogilvy has since painted more than fifty bird nests from life, each time marvelling at its ingenious construction. Every species of bird has its own vernacular, but sources its materials - most commonly twigs, roots, grasses, reeds, leaves, moss, lichen, hair, feathers and cobwebs, less usually, mattress stuffing and string - according to local availability. Ogilvy would, of course, never disturb nesting birds; instead she relies upon serendipity, which is why all her nests have either been abandoned after fulfilling their purpose, or displaced by strong winds.Although Nests showcases the specimens she has found near her homes in Somerset and on the Isle of Arran, its subject matter is by no means only British, since these same birds can be found all over Europe, Scandinavia and as far afield as Russia, Turkey and North Africa. This wondrous book is all the more special for its rarity. Few modern books exist specifically on the subject of bird nests; the most recent among the author's reference works was published in 1932. Exquisitely designed and packaged, Nests will be an essential addition to the libraries of all nature lovers.

''Go on, have a flutter!

With the decline in the populations of our wild bees, these beloved creatures need looking after more than ever. Gardening for Bumblebees shows you how you can provide a refuge for bumblebees to feed, breed and thrive. No matter how large or small your space is, Dave Goulson shows you how you can make a pollinator-friendly haven. In this book you will learn the best trees, shrubs and flowers for pollinators, how to create the perfect nest and breeding site, and the best ways to control pests. Gardening For Bumblebees will encourage and inspire gardeners and allotmenters alike to make their patch more bee friendly. Praise for Dave Goulson''Ideal for filling the garden with a happy hum''Tiffany Daneff, Country Life''Goulson reminds himself that he ''began studying bumblebees not because they are important pollinators but because they are fascinating, because they behave in interesting and mysterious ways, and because they are rather loveable'' Hannah Rosefield, Literary Review
