Secret Life of the City
Come along on an informative, whirlwind tour of urban species—from intelligent crows to backyard lichens—and discover that you are surrounded by wild nature, even in your own backyard. When biologist Hanna Bjørgaas spots a fairy cup lichen in Antarctica, she is surprised to recognize it from her own backyard in Oslo. When she returns home, she embarks on a journey into urban nature, visiting city parks, cemeteries, and concrete rooftops to investigate the species that live in urban spaces. Along the way, she meets corvids, songbirds, ants, pigeons, bats, sparrows, fungi, and linden trees—and the experts who study their surprising abilities to survive, and thrive, in the city. As Bjør...
Treewilding
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 Earth’s 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 o...
I skogens dype, stille ro
Om den verdifulle skogen vi er i ferd med å miste Vi hører ikke skogen. Den bare står der. I skyggen av fjellene. For i Norge er det fjellene som løper med oppmerksomheten. Det har sin pris. Gammelskogen har blitt så sjelden at mange av oss ikke lenger vet hvordan den ser ut. Og urskogen? Den urørte, ville skogen? Den er nesten borte. Men bare nesten. Med nysgjerrighet og kjærlighet til skogen som drivkraft drar forfatteren på jakt etter historien til den norske urskogen i bortgjemte raviner, under bergvegger, oppå øde åsrygger og i juv, der sola aldri skinner. Underveis oppdager han at de som har ansvaret for å ta vare på skogen kanskje ikke er så flinke som de gir inntrykk av...

Unseen City
It all started with Nathanael Johnson's decision to teach his daughter, Josephine, the names of every tree they passed as they walked up the hill to daycare in San Francisco, CA. it was a ridiculous project, not just because she couldn't even say the word "tree" yet, but also because he couldn't name a single one of them. When confronted with the futility of his mission, his instinctive response was to expand it, Don Quixote-style, until its audacity obscured its stupidity. And so the project expanded to include an expertise in city-dwelling birds (the raptors, the shockingly shrewd crows, the gulls, the misunderstood pigeons), rodents (raccoons, rats, squirrels), and tiny crawling things (t...
