One of humanity’s oldest beliefs is that our world is alive. Though once ridiculed by some scientists, the idea of Earth as a vast interconnected living system has gained acceptance in recent decades. We, and all living things, are more than inhabitants of Earth—we are Earth, an outgrowth of its structure and an engine of its evolution. Life and its environment have coevolved for billions of years, transforming a lump of orbiting rock into a cosmic oasis—a planet that breathes, metabolizes, and regulates its climate.

Ik heb het regelmatig over onderzoek waarin dierproeven zijn gebruikt. Daar ben ik me heel erg bewust van, want ik ben absoluut tegen dierenleed. De meeste onderzoekers zijn daar ook heus niet voor, maar soms lijkt het gewoon nog niet anders te kunnen. Dit jaar investeerde het Nationaal Groeifonds een flink bedrag in een nieuw Centrum voor Proefdiervrije Biomedische Translatie. Zou er dan nu echt wat meer vaart gemaakt kunnen worden? Ik ga erover in gesprek met Anne Kienhuis van het RIVM en Wouter Dhert, wetenschappelijk directeur Life Sciences bij de Universiteit Utrecht. Zij vertellen meer ...

Earth has been reinventing itself for more than four billion years, keeping a record of its experiments in the form of rocks. Yet most of us live our lives on the planet with no idea of its extraordinary history, unable to interpret the language of the rocks that surround us. Geologist Marcia Bjornerud believes that our lives can be enriched by understanding our heritage on this old and creative planet. Contrary to their reputation, rocks have eventful lives—and they intersect with our own in surprising ways.

Riley Black brings listeners back in time to prehistoric seas, swamps, forests, and savannas where critical moments in plant evolution unfolded. Each chapter stars plants and animals alike, underscoring how the interactions between species have helped shape the world we call home. As the chapters move upwards in time, Black guides listeners along the burgeoning trunk of the Tree of Life, stopping to appreciate branches of an evolutionary story that links the world we know with one we can only just perceive now through the silent stone, from ancient roots to the present.

In Living on Earth, Godfrey-Smith takes us on a grand tour of the history of life on earth. He visits Rwandan gorillas and Australian bowerbirds, returns to coral reefs and octopus dens, considers the impact of language and writing, and weighs the responsibilities our unique powers bring with them, as they relate to factory farming, habitat preservation, climate change, and the use of animals in experiments.

Celebrated storyteller and historian Edward Dolnick leads us through a compelling true adventure as the paleontologists of the first half of the 19th century puzzled their way through the fossil record to create the story of dinosaurs we know today. The tale begins with Mary Anning, a poor, uneducated woman who had a sixth sense for finding fossils buried deep inside cliffs; and moves to a brilliant, eccentric geologist named William Buckland.

Deep Water is both a lyrically written personal meditation and an intriguing wide-ranging reported epic that reckons with our complex connection to the seas. It is a story shaped by tidal movements and deep currents, lit by the insights of philosophers, scientists, artists, and other great minds.

The story of extreme weather doesn’t begin with heat waves, floods, fires, or even the air that carries this change to our lives. It begins with the oceans. Oceans create weather, just as oceans have shaped the arc of human civilization and the genesis and the growth of nations throughout history. The secret to understanding the frightening effects of climate change, award-winning writer Porter Fox contends, is in understanding how major changes in the oceans radically affect climate, hurricanes, droughts, and most of the geophysical fallout of global warming.

You've heard of Pangea, the single landmass that broke apart some 175 million years ago to give us our current continents, but what about its predecessors, Rodinia or Columbia? These "supercontinents" from Earth's past provide evidence that land repeatedly joins and separates. While scientists debate what that next supercontinent will look like—and what to name it—they all agree: one is coming.

Our countryside is iconic: a series of distinctive habitats that unite to create a landscape that is unique for the rich diversity of our flora and fauna. In England, his most magisterial book to date, John Lewis-Stempel explores each in turn, taking us from coast to moor, from downs to field, from the park to the village to create a vivid living portrait of our natural history.

The notion of a living world is one of humanity’s oldest beliefs. Though once scorned by many scientists, the concept of Earth as a vast interconnected living system has gained acceptance in recent decades. Life not only adapts to its surroundings – it also shapes them in dramatic and enduring ways. Over billions of years, life transformed a lump of orbiting rock into our cosmic oasis, breathing oxygen into the atmosphere, concocting the modern oceans, and turning rock into fertile soil. Life is intertwined with Earth’s capacity to regulate its climate and maintain balance.

In Turning to Stone, Marcia Bjornerud invites you into a geo-centric perspective, in which rocks are raconteurs, companions, mentors, oracles, and sources of solace. She dispels the notion that rocks simply are and instead helps you to see them as living entities with biographies that intersect with our own.
