Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Rebirding takes the long view of Britain's wildlife decline, from the early taming of our landscape and its long-lost elephants and rhinos, to fenland drainage, the removal of cornerstone species such as wild cattle, horses, beavers and boar - and forward in time to the intensification of our moder…n landscapes and the collapse of invertebrate populations. It looks at key reasons why species are vanishing, as our landscapes become ever more tamed and less diverse, with wildlife trapped in tiny pockets of habitat. It explores how Britain has, uniquely, relied on modifying farmland, rather than restoring ecosystems, in a failing attempt to halt wildlife decline. The irony is that 94% of Britain is not built upon at all. And with more nature-loving voices than any European country, we should in fact have the best, not the most impoverished, wildlife on our continent. Especially when the rural economics of our game estates, and upland farms, are among the worst in Europe. Britain is blessed with all the space it needs for an epic wildlife recovery. The deer estates of the Scottish Highlands are twice the size of Yellowstone National Park. Snowdonia is larger than the Maasai Mara. The problem in Britain is not a lack of space. It is that our precious space is uniquely wasted - not only for wildlife, but for people's jobs and rural futures too. Rebirding maps out how we might finally turn things around: rewilding our national parks, restoring natural ecosystems and allowing our wildlife a far richer future. In doing so, an entirely new sector of rural jobs would be created; finally bringing Britain's dying rural landscapes and failing economies back to life. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Time outdoors is always well spent. It raises the spirits, sparks the imagination and, as research increasingly shows, measurably improves our physical and mental wellbeing. Rhythms of Nature celebrates this fundamental relationship with the natural world, and considers some ways we might redi…scover it.After a career in conservation, Ian Carter moves to a secluded farmhouse tucked away in the low hills of mid-Devon between Exmoor and Dartmoor. Here he tries new approaches to exploring the local countryside. He learns the edible species, follows streams (wherever they may lead) and slips unseen through private estates. He experiments with rewilding the garden, goes on night-time rambles and watches the changing seasons in super high definition.Following on from the authors acclaimed Human, Nature, this engaging and thought-provoking book offers simple suggestions for how to enliven a sense of wonder in our surroundings. A paean to the neglected and untidy places that can enrich our lives, it will appeal to anyone wishing to develop a deeper connection with wildlife or who has a desire to seek out the wilder corners of our landscape. After a career in conservation, Ian Carter moves to a secluded farmhouse tucked away in the low hills of mid-Devon between Exmoor and Dartmoor. Here he tries new approaches to connecting with the local countryside from following streams wherever they may lead, to night-time rambles or simply rewilding the garden.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Winner of the Richard Jefferies Society and White Horse Book Shop Literary Prize'splendid' -Guardian'visionary' -New StatesmanBritain has all the space it needs for an epic return of its wildlife. Only six percent of our country is built upon. Contrary to popular myth, large areas of our count…ryside are not productively farmed but remain deserts of opportunity for both wildlife and jobs. It is time to turn things around. Praised as 'visionary' by conservationists and landowners alike, Rebirding sets out a compelling manifesto for restoring Britain's wildlife, rewilding its species and restoring rural jobs - to the benefit of all. The UK is undergoing a mass extinction of birds and wildlife after two centuries of intensification. Many books lament the decline of British wildlife - this is the first to map out how this could be turned around, economically and in the national interest. We have all the space we need for nature; now, at last, it's time to put it to good use. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Traffication develops a bold new idea: that the trillions of miles of driving we do each year are just as destructive to our natural environment as any of the better known threats, such as habitat loss or intensive farming. The problem is not simply one of roadkill; the impacts of roads are fa…r more pervasive, and they impact our wildlife in many subtle and unpredictable ways. Using the latest research, the book reveals how road traffic shatters essential biological processes, affecting how animals communicate, move around, feed, reproduce and die. Most importantly, it shows that the influence of traffic extends well beyond the verge, and that a busy road can strip the wildlife from our countryside for miles around. In the UK, almost nowhere is exempt from this environmental toll. Yet the final message here is one of hope: by identifying the car as a major cause of the catastrophic loss of wildlife, the solutions to our biodiversity crisis suddenly become much clearer.The first step to solving any problem is to recognise that it exists in the first place. But with road traffic, we are not even at that crucial initial stage in our recovery. Quite simply, Traffication does for road traffic what Silent Spring did for agrochemicals: awakening us from our collective road-blindness and opening up a whole new chapter in conservation. This urgent book is an essential contribution to the debate on how we restore the health of our countryside and of our own minds and bodies. The trillions of miles we drive each year are just as destructive to our natural environment as any of the better known threats, such as habitat loss or intensive farming. Traffication does for road traffic what Silent Spring did for agrochemicals: awakening us from our collective road-blindness and opening up a whole new chapter in conservation.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. As we continue to live through a pandemic, all eyes are on microbes: an imperceptible and pervasive threat that hangs heavy on the air and clings to surfaces. But the reality of micro-organisms is far more diverse and life-sustaining than such a notion would have us believe (hence the title of… this book). Not only are they omnipresent, but we are highly attuned to their workings both in the world at large and right here within our own bodies. Meanwhile, cutting-edge microbiome research is changing our understanding of reality, challenging fundamental concepts of free will and individuality. Threaded through everything are microbes: the very glue that holds ecosystems together.This topical, engaging and original book counters the prevailing narrative of microbes as the bane of society, along the way providing much-needed clarity on the overwhelmingly beneficial role they play. We discover how the microbiome is highly relevant to environmental and social equity issues, while theres also discussion about how microbes may influence our decisions: even the way we think about how we think may need to be revisited. Invisible Friends introduces the reader to a vast, pullulating cohort of minute life friends you never knew you had. Cutting-edge microbiome research is changing our understanding of reality. It is increasingly evident that microbes are the very glue that holds ecosystems together. This topical and original book counters the prevailing narrative of microbes as the bane of society, along the way providing much-needed clarity on the beneficial role they play.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Hummingbirds, and the balletic ways in which they feed on flowers, are familiar to most people. But they belong to just one of at least 74 bird families that are known, or suspected, to be pollinators. Relationships between plants and birds first emerged at least 50 million years ago and over time…have influenced the evolution of both groups. This groundbreaking book is the first to deal with pollinating birds in all their diversity, involving almost 1,390 avian species interacting with tens of thousands of different plants. It rescues them from being novelties of natural history and explores these interactions in all their evolutionary and ecological significance. Pollinating birds have intricate lives that are often highly dependent on flowers, and the plants themselves are at the whim of birds for their reproduction. This makes them important players within many ecosystems, including tropical rainforests, dry grasslands, temperate woodlands, coastal mangroves and oceanic islands. Birdflower relationships are threatened by disease, habitat destruction and climate change. Some of the birds are already extinct. Yet there are optimistic stories to be told about conservation and restoration projects that reveal the commitment of people to preserving these vital ecological connections. In addition, as a source of cultural inspiration with a history stretching back millennia, pollinating birds and their flowers are part of the ongoing relationship between humanity and the rest of nature. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Insects are often overlooked because they are small or ignored because they are deemed trivial, and many are dismissed as nuisance pests. But their numbers and diversity are mind-numbing, and under even a modest hand lens they are beautiful or bizarre.Insects dominate the centre ground of all…terrestrial and most aquatic ecosystems. They inform us of the conservation value of ancient woodland and chalk downland. They help monitor the purity or pollution levels of ponds, streams and rivers. And they can demonstrate the effects of climate change, acting as warning lights to alert us to the damage that humans are doing to the world. Recent insectageddon headlines are starting to make people sit up and take more notice.What better way to promote an interest in these fascinating creatures than by poetizing them? This cornucopia of discordant nonsense, with some quite frankly dubious rhyming clashes, is offered up so that entomological outreach will at least benefit from their shock value. The book is light in style but heavy in fact. A limerick teases the intellect, but this is backed up but scientific information in easily readable, bite-sized portions. The book is illustrated by simple but striking pictures by the authors son, who was only 13 at the time. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Ure-Jones, Calvin (illustrator).

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This book investigates a vital and controversial question for conservation and rewilding in Britain and Ireland: could and should we learn to live with lynx, wolves and bears again? We travel back in time, around the world and into the future to explore this contested topic. The author delves…deep into the human psyche, considering not only his own mixed feelings about large carnivore reintroductions but also why people have such polarised perspectives on top predators. He brings his unique combination of expertise on snow leopards and their relationship with humans along with his experience as a farmer to illustrate the discussion.Along the way, we meet a cast of characters from across society, including farmers, rewilders and everyone in between. It becomes clear that coexisting with large carnivores is as much about sharing landscapes with each other as it is about sharing them with wildlife. The first book to tackle this subject in detail, based on more than 50 interviews from seven countries, Living with Lynx will be of relevance to anyone with an interest in the future of nature, farming and the countryside. Personal, detailed, unflinching and engaging, it adds a great deal to this rapidly evolving debate. This book investigates whether we could and should learn to live with species like lynx, wolves and bears again in Britain and Ireland.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. As we clear millions of hectares of forests globally, the challenge of restoring these precious ecosystems becomes ever more pressing. The stakes are high: a staggering 95% of Earths land could succumb to degradation by 2050. While the task might appear straightforward simply plant millions of… trees the reality is far more perplexing. Haphazard tree-planting in unsuitable locations can wreak havoc on ecosystems and jeopardise the livelihoods of local communities.The surge of interest in restoring forests has ushered in a wave of greenwashing, where deceptive environmental marketing and scientific mishaps undermine genuine efforts. Yet this new focus also brings forth a plethora of solutions and many rays of hope. Amidst such a landscape, cutting-edge science and Indigenous knowledge together can redefine our understanding in a way that not only helps regenerate nature but also allows human communities to thrive.This original, topical and engaging book navigates the complex realm of forest restoration. It reveals how a nuanced approach is required one that integrates the latest scientific advancements (for instance in microbial ecology, acoustic technology and epigenetics), Indigenous leadership and a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of life within these vital ecosystems. Treewilding asks us to reflect on our relationship with trees and how we must see the woods (intricate social and ecological systems) for the wood (timber) a realisation that is perhaps the biggest secret to restoring nature. Discover the intricacies of global forest restoration in Treewilding. Exploring the interplay of cutting-edge science and Indigenous knowledge, this engaging book navigates challenges, greenwashing pitfalls and the possible solutions shaping the future of ecosystems and our relationship with nature.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The Eurasian beaver was near extinction at the start of the twentieth century, hunted across Europe for its fur, meat and castoreum. But now the beaver is on the brink of a comeback, with wild beaver populations, licensed and unlicensed, emerging all over Britain.As a keystone species, the bea…ver plays a vital role in the creation of sustainable wetland habitats through its damming activities, providing living opportunities for a broad spectrum of wildlife. Yet as proposals for reintroducing beavers are underway, re-establishing the beaver in Britain is still a controversial issue.This book presents a case for our future coexistence with beavers by providing factual information on this species that has now passed from national memory, covering the biology, behaviour and ecology of the Eurasian beaver in a British context, from their early history in archaeology and folklore to their contemporary field signs in the wild. This book familiarises readers once again, after almost 400 years of its absence, with the Eurasian beaver, providing essential information on its requirements in our human dominated landscape.This book is for those with a specific interest in beavers and their reintroduction, and for anyone with a general curiosity in natural history, ecology or animal behaviour. It can be used as a field guide to identify beaver field signs and observe beavers in the wild by wildlife surveyors or general land users, or as an introductory guide for anyone with an interest in beavers and how to recognise them.The authors have been actively involved in the study of beaver ecology, behaviour and reintroduction for many years. They have a first-hand knowledge of beavers in captivity and in the wild in both Britain and a range of other European countries. This book presents a case for our future coexistence with beavers by providing factual information on this species that has now passed from national memory, covering the biology, behaviour and ecology of the Eurasian beaver in a British context, from their early history in archaeology and folklore to their contemporary field signs in the wild.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Reconnecting with Nature is the most important public health intervention of our time. Science has shown how our bodies are shaped by our environment yet we still see ourselves as separate from the natural world. To protect human health, we need to reawaken our inner connection with Nature and… prevent the destruction of our environment and the countless species we share it with.At a time of rapid, devastating changes to the environment and ecosystems we rely on, we are struggling with ever-increasing threats to our physical and mental health. More extreme temperatures result in a higher occurrence of diseases such as malaria, while climate changerelated crop failures around the world lead to malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies. Worsening air pollution has caused a surge in respiratory illnesses, and new animal pathogens are emerging as humans continue to encroach on and destroy natural habitats.In Nature Within, neuroscientist and doctor James Bashford explains why these and other health problems can only be managed through centring humans within the natural world rather than in opposition to it, and through understanding the natural forces at work within our own bodies. Skilfully weaving together examples of human illnesses like motor neuron disease with nonhuman ailments like Dutch elm disease, Bashford explores how similar principles of health shape our minds and bodies. From chameleons to COVID-19, from nucleic acids to nightingales, Nature has compelling lessons to teach us.Examining human evolutionary history, he shows how our physiology, biochemistry and anatomy right down to the subcellular domain have been shaped and sustained by natural interactions over thousands of millennia. But the destruction of natural habitats, the urbanisation of society and the digitalisation of recreation, all in the relentless pursuit of economic growth, have disconnected us from our roots in the natural world. And this is subjecting us to states of overstimulation and hyperarousal that stress our nervous systems beyond our natural capacity.The solution, he argues, is not to place undue blame or expectation on individual lifestyle choices, but rather to embrace small resets which, taken together, can start to turn the tide. Offering practical advice on how to renaturalise our senses and rewild our creativity, this book fosters an unwavering optimism in the value of Nature for the conservation of human health if we can only reconnect. Reconnecting with Nature is the most important public health intervention of our time. Science has shown how our bodies are shaped by our environment yet we still see ourselves as separate from the natural world. To protect human health, we need to protect our environment and the countless species we share it with.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. When will the next pandemic arrive? For wildlife, its already here.The Nature of Pandemics explores an unspoken truth: how our actions are driving wildlife pandemics across the world. Highlighting the interconnectedness of human, (non-human) animal and environmental health, it examines histori…cal and contemporary pandemics and considers the importance of conservation and restoration efforts, presenting a compelling case for rethinking how we approach pandemic prevention.This timely book reframes pandemics as ecological crises that require ecological solutions, unravelling the relationship between biodiversity, ecosystem health and pandemic risk. It reveals how climate change and human activities such as habitat destruction and the wildlife trade contribute to the emergence of infectious diseases, taking the reader through likely candidates for the next pandemic. An in-depth analysis of historical pandemics links past outbreaks, such as the bubonic plague in Eyam, to modern epidemiological challenges. The book also investigates humanwildlife conflict and social equity issues, demonstrating how deforestation and land-use change drive spillovers and how poorer communities disproportionately bear the brunt of outbreaks.Pandemics pose an escalating global threat, their frequency increasing due to human-induced environmental changes. Prevention is not just down to medical preparedness but also about restoring and protecting biodiversity. By offering solutions such as green prescriptions, ecosystem restoration and sustainable policies, this book sets out an exciting interdisciplinary perspective that merges microbiology, ecology, epidemiology and restoration science. Examines the deep connections between human activities, emerging infectious diseases and biodiversity. Drawing on cutting-edge research, it explores how environmental destruction, climate change and globalisation drive pandemics and how restoring ecosystems can help prevent future outbreaks.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Wolf Land traces the lives of the wolves that once called Britain and Ireland home. Beginning with the Ice Age, each chapter considers a key period in the history of wolves on these islands. Describing the landscapes they traversed, their relationship with the ever-growing human population, an…d the ways in which humans weaved wolves throughout every aspect of their cultural lives, from literature and art to religion and politics. Building on this history, Wolf Land concludes by reflecting on the parts of this story yet to be written, asking whether wolves could once again make Britain and Ireland their home.There is no better time for understanding the complex, multifaceted ecology of wolves in Britain and Ireland.

Passionate about critically examining and tracing historical sources, Elizabeth separates fact from the (ubiquitous) fiction associated with these animals.Wolf Land is a book for not only wolf lovers and natural and cultural history enthusiasts, but also for those interested in rewilding, reintroduction, and the complex yet fascinating relationship between nature and culture. Separating fiction from fact, Wolf Land delves into the history of wolves in Britain and Ireland, tracing their spoors through the mountains, fens, and forests of these islands, as well as the cultural landscapes across which they have left their indelible, inky pawprints.

Its all-encompassing gaze records people in its Hebridean territory far below, but they are of no interest.

Most of all, this book is testimony to the power of wild places and the duty we have to learn from and protect them.
