Selvforsyning er kodeordet for Frank Erichsen på Kastaniegården uden for Grenå på Djursland. Som i det første bind af "Det enkle liv" deler han i nr. 2 bog ud af sine erfaringer med projekter han har gennemprøvet og som man har kunnet følge på tv. Med lige dele opfindsomhed, ihærdighed og stædighed kaster han sig i denne bog ud i projekter som at holde geder, om at sætte hegn, om at dyrke bær, bygge udhuse og dyrke kartofler. Familien, kone og to små børn, følger interesseret med på sidelinjen og er de første til at afprøve og bedømme resultatet. Med stemningsfyldte fotos af bl.a. Sofie Klougart og instruktive tegninger af Theresa Jessing.
Corona-pandemien lærte os hurtigt én ting om menneskets handlekraft: Der er meget få grænser for de forandringer, vi kan skabe ... hvis vi vil.Den gode nyhed kommer her: Hvis vi bruger bare en smule af den samme handlekraft, som vi netop har set udfolde sig i forbindelse med Corona-krisen, kan vi bremse den langt større trussel fra klimaforandringerne. Bogen viser præcis hvordan. Alle løsningerne findes nemlig, vi skal blot finde modet til at forfølge dem.Tag med på rejse jorden rundt og mød de ildsjæle, teknologier og beslutningstagere, der er i gang med at bevise, at vi mennesker rent faktisk er i stand til at redde os fra os selv. Udfordringerne er store, men der er flere muligheder, end du tror. Bogen viser, hvordan vi kan skaffe os mad, tøj, husly, energi, transport og i det hele taget gode liv uden at give kloden hedeslag. Den fortæller om barriererne for handling og om, hvordan vi kan overkomme dem. Om dem, der er gået forrest – og om, hvordan vi alle sammen kan spille en vigtig rolle i den store, grønne omstilling, som ligger foran os.Bogen er produceret af Zetland og støttet økonomisk af Climate Planet Foundation. Den er det mest ambitiøse journalistik, Zetland har kastet sig ud i. Billedsiden er storslået – og det er ikke bare noget, vi selv siger; den har vundet en fin pris, inden bogen overhovedet er udkommet.Bogen er rigt illustreret og trykt på lækkert, miljøvenligt papir.
Winner of the British Cartographic Society Award 2021Winner of the John C Bartholomew Award for Thematic Mapping 2021Winner of the Stanfords Award for Printed Mapping 2021Discover the hidden patterns in human society as you have never seen them before - through the world of dataIn Atlas of the Invisible, award-winning geographer-designer team James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti redefine what an atlas can be.

Wilding tells the story of a remarkable experiment: the rewilding of the Knepp Estate in West Sussex, the restoration of natural ecological processes, and the stunning recovery of flora and fauna.
Mycelium Running is a manual for the mycological rescue of the planet. That's right: growing more mushrooms may be the best thing we can do to save the environment, and in this groundbreaking text from mushroom expert Paul Stamets, you'll find out how. The basic science goes like this: Microscopic cells called "mycelium"--the fruit of which are mushrooms--recycle carbon, nitrogen, and other essential elements as they break down plant and animal debris in the creation of rich new soil. What Stamets has discovered is that we can capitalize on mycelium's digestive power and target it to decompose toxic wastes and pollutants (mycoremediation), catch and reduce silt from streambeds and pathogens from agricultural watersheds (mycofiltration), control insect populations (mycopesticides), and generally enhance the health of our forests and gardens (mycoforestry and myco-gardening). In this comprehensive guide, you'll find chapters detailing each of these four exciting branches of what Stamets has coined "mycorestoration," as well as chapters on the medicinal and nutritional properties of mushrooms, inoculation methods, log and stump culture, and species selection for various environmental purposes. Heavily referenced and beautifully illustrated, this book is destined to be a classic reference for bemushroomed generations to come.

The Continuum Concept introduces the idea that in order to achieve optimal physical, mental and emotional development, human beings - especially babies - require the kind of instinctive nurturing as practiced by our ancient relatives. It is a true back to basics approach to parenting. Author Jean Liedloff spent two and-a-half years in the jungle deep in the heart of South America living with indigenous tribes and was astounded at how differently children are raised outside the Western world. She came to the realisation that essential child-rearing techniques such as touch, trust and community have been undermined in modern times, and in this book suggests practical ways to regain our natural well-being, for our children and ourselves.
#1 bestselling author and acclaimed venture capitalist John Doerr reveals a sweeping action plan to conquer humanity's greatest challenge: climate change.In 2006, John Doerr was moved by Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and a challenge from his teenage daughter: "e;Dad, your generation created this problem. You better fix it."e; Since then, Doerr has searched for solutions to this existential problem-as an investor, an advocate and a philanthropist. Fifteen years later, despite breakthroughs in batteries, electric vehicles, plant-based proteins and solar and wind power, global warming continues to get worse. Its impact is all around us: droughts, floods, wildfires, the melting of the polar ice caps. Our world is squarely in a climate crisis and on the brink of a climate disaster. Yet despite our state of emergency, climate change has yet to be tackled with the urgency and ambition it demands. More than ever, we need a clear course of action. Fueled by a powerful tool called Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), SPEED & SCALE offers an unprecedented global plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions before it's too late. Used by Google, Bono's ONE foundation and thousands of startups the world over, OKRs have scaled ideas into achievements that changed the world. With clear-eyed realism and an engineer's precision, Doerr identifies the measurable OKRs we need to reduce emissions across the board and to arrive by 2050 at net zero-the point where we are no longer adding to the heat-trapping carbon in the atmosphere.By turns pragmatic and inspiring, SPEED & SCALE intersperses Doerr's wide-ranging analysis with firsthand accounts from Jeff Bezos, Christiana Figueres, Al Gore, Mary Barra, Bill Gates, and other intrepid policy leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists and activists. This book is a launchpad for leaders of all kind, for anyone anywhere who can move others to act with them. With a definitive action plan, the latest science and a rising climate movement on our side, we can still reach net zero before it is too late. But as Doerr reminds us, there is no more time to waste.________________ 'A critical blueprint for anyone looking to take concrete steps to reach net-zero emissions.'

Following on from its hugely successful launch in 1999, Collins Bird Guide - the ultimate reference book for bird enthusiasts - now enters its second edition.
Fire mænd og en kvinde mødes til et foredrag om dyre-etik. De fem er: Tandlægen Vidkun, den ressourcestærke bøsse og zoolog Sperber, serieromanforfatteren Hektor Gråbæk, vellidt af både mennesker og dyr, filmklipperen Såkaldte Bob, som fornemmer en stærk dragning mod Afrika, samt Lise Løvenskiold, politiefterforsker og single, der holder af Leopard-nips og fugle. Alle fem lever gennemregulerede og tilsyneladende lykkelige liv – men alligevel synes de hver især at være kommet til et slags vendepunkt i livet, der gør, at de vil væk fra det beskyttede liv i Norge. Og alle fem bærer de på en mere eller mindre eksplicit længsel efter at redde dyr. Så de beslutter sig for at rejse til Kenya for at kæmpe for, at dyrene stadig kan være en del af vores vilde natur. Med i bagagen har de en snedig yderst radikal plan om at gennemføre en happening ved hjælp af de fem ikoniske dyr: Bøffel, løve, leopard, næsehorn og elefant. For det er nødvendigt med ekstreme planer, når nu mennesket fucker med flora og fauna.

Med sin enkle tese om, at tidligere tiders politiske konflikter mellem stater i dag er afløst af en overliggende konkurrence og truende konflikt mellem civilisationer, har Samuel Huntington sat ord på verden, som den folder sig ud i disse år. Særligt tiden efter 11. september 2001 har i stigende grad øget spændingerne mellem den vestlige verden og store muslimske befolkningsgrupper. Og den globale strid om Jyllands-Postens tegninger af profeten Muhammed gav om muligt endnu mere næring til bogens syn på verdens tilstand.Samuel Huntingtons bog The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order fra 1996 er en vor tids vigtigste bøger. Ikke fordi hans analyser og påstande nødvendigvis er rigtige - men fordi det er nødvendigt at vide, hvad han mener. Få bøger har som Huntingtons formet den verdensomspændende politiske dagsorden. Overalt taler ledende politikere, tænkere og samfundsdebattører om civilisationernes sammenstød. Det gælder i Kairo såvel som i København.

"This book is a treasure for everyone who is looking for a guide to more sustainable living and a roadmap for re-designing our societies, regenerating our communities, cities and societies in harmony with natural systems and our home planet." Hazel Henderson
UDKANTSMYTEN tager et opgør med myten om, at fremtiden tilhører de store byer, mens resten af landet er fortabt. I virkeligheden er provinsen økonomisk stærk, den lykkes bedre med uddannelse og integration, og afleverer hvert år milliarder til de store byer i form at tilskud til statslige arbejdspladser, uddannelse og transport. Men spørgsmålet er ikke længere, om Danmark vil knække over geografisk. Spørgsmålet er, hvornår det vil ske – og hvad vi kan gøre politisk for at vende udviklingen.UDKANTSMYTEN viser, at vi alle er dybt afhængige af provinsen, hvis vi skal bevare et stærkt velfærdssamfund. Derfor skal vi slå bak på de reformer, der har skabt en historisk voldsom centralisering af vores land de seneste ti år. På tværs af politiske skel er der brug for at finde løsninger, som styrker udviklingen i provinsen. Der er behov for et opgør med Udkantsmyten.
