Ein Ex-Zuhälter und krimineller Biker als Waldbesitzer und -schützer? Max Cameo, bekannt durch seinen explosiven YouTube-Kanal und seine Videos über die Welt der Gangs von Mülheim bis Compton, Los Angeles, ist definitiv ein ungewöhnlicher Naturaktivist. Aufgewachsen in einem alten Forsthaus mitten in der Natur, verliert das "Kind des Waldes" früh den Halt und wird kriminell: Von der ersten Hure bis zur Mitgliedschaft in einem Rockerclub erzählt er nun von seiner Zeit im Rotlichtmilieu – und was viel wichtiger ist: Er schildert, wie die Kunst – in Form seiner Leidenschaft fürs Tätowieren – und die Rückbesinnung auf den Wald ihn gerettet haben.

In an era where unpredictability is the only certainty, these essential guides are combined for those determined to be prepared for anything. This collection is not just about survival; it's about thriving in the face of the unknown.

Hannah Stitfall is a TV presenter and zoologist who regularly gets up in the early hours of the morning to try and catch sight of some of Cornwall's best hidden wildlife. She will spend hours on end waiting for a creature to appear among a hedgerow, scurrying across Cornwall's open fields or taking flight across its towering cliffs and sandy beaches. In these brief, magical moments, Hannah is able to see and capture animal behaviour that the general public rarely get to witness.

Dream Car tells the story of entrepreneur Malcolm Bricklin’s fantastical 1970s-era Safety Vehicle-1 (SV1), audaciously launched during a tumultuous breakpoint in postwar history. The tale of the sexy-yet-safe SV1 reveals the influence of automobiles on ideas about the future, technology, entrepreneurship, risk, safety, showmanship, politics, sex, gender, business, and the state, as well as the history of the auto industry’s birth, decline, and rebirth.

What if the harbinger of our greener future was a small power plant set in the middle of nowhere in West Texas? Longtime alternative energy executive Andy Bowman’s book makes exactly this case, outlining what he suggests is a more sustainable future for American capitalism. The West Texas Power Plant that Saved the World takes the Barilla solar plant in Pecos County as a test case for the state of renewable energy in the twenty-first century United States.

Thomas Bayes was an eighteenth-century Presbyterian minister and amateur mathematician whose obscure life belied the profound impact of his work. Like most research into probability at the time, his theorem - independently discovered a few years later by Pierre-Simon Laplace, the great French mathematician - was mainly seen as relevant to games of chance, like dice and cards. But its implications soon became clear, affecting fields as diverse as medicine, law and artificial intelligence.

In Nostalgia: A History of a Dangerous Emotion, Agnes Arnold-Forster blends neuroscience and psychology with the history of medicine and emotions to explore the evolution of nostalgia from its first identification in seventeenth-century Switzerland (when it was held to be an illness that could, quite literally, kill you) to the present day (when it is co-opted by advertising agencies and politicians alike to sell us goods and policies).

Infinite Universe Theory presents the ultimate alternative to the Big Bang Theory and the common assumption that the universe had an origin. Author Glenn Borchardt starts with photos of the “elderly” galaxies at the observational edge of the universe. These contradict the current belief that the universe should have increasingly younger objects as we view greater distances. He restates the fundamental assumptions that must underlie the new paradigm. Notably, by assuming infinity he is able to adapt classical mechanics to “neomechanics” and its insistence that phenomena are strictly ...

Science helps us to understand ourselves in a world where we often feel like strangers - but what we know about the world around us, what has already been explored and discovered is only half of science's story. Unexplained will explore the frontier between what we do and don't know about the world: where knowledge meets mystery, complexity overwhelms certainty, and the vastness of our universe unspools the logic of science's established laws. Dr Camilla Pang will teach you to embrace the beauty in the unexplained and fall in love with the search for unknown answers.

Self-confessed bad birdwatcher Simon Barnes thought he knew nothing about plants. He didn't object to them: trees are interesting, because birds perch in them; plants are useful as they create habitats and birds live in habitats. But while admiring the tenacity of some sea kale and yellow-horned poppy to thrive on an inhospitable shingle beach, he was struck by a truth - it all begins with plants. In this funny and inspiring book, Simon Barnes tells the story of a lifelong relationship with plants, and the realisation of the fact.

Dans le livre du Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint Exupéry dit “ce qui embellit le désert, c’est qu’il cache un puit quelque part” Rose des Sables, est la fusion symbolique de la rose des vents et le sable du désert. Rose des Sables représente la quête de sa liberté intérieure au coeur du désert de la Vie et de l’Univers dans lequel nous sommes tout au milieu de rien et conscience de l’humilité de n’être rien au milieu de tout. Accepter de se laisser guider par la vie plus grande que nous, faire confiance, et avancer à chaque instant, un pas après l’autre. La raison d...
