Evidence Contestation
This book examines the practices of contesting evidence in democratically constituted knowledge societies. It provides a multifaceted view of the processes and conditions of evidence criticism and how they determine the dynamics of de- and re-stabilization of evidence. Evidence is an essential resource for establishing claims of validity, resolving conflicts, and legitimizing decisions. In recent times, however, evidence is being contested with increasing frequency. Such contestations vary in form and severity – from questioning the interpretation of data or the methodological soundness of studies to accusations of evidence fabrication. The contributors to this volume explore which actors,...

Tenacious Beasts
An inspiring look at wildlife species that are defying the odds and teaching important lessons about how to share a planet. The news about wildlife is dire—more than 900 species have been wiped off the planet since industrialization. Against this bleak backdrop, however, there are also glimmers of hope and crucial lessons to be learned from animals that have defied global trends toward extinction: bears in Italy, bison in North America, whales in the Atlantic. These populations are back from the brink, some of them in numbers unimaginable in a century. How has this happened? What shifts in thinking did it demand? In crisp, transporting prose, Christopher Preston reveals the mysteries and c...
Rewilding
How rewilding has transformed the conservation movement, combining radical scientific insights with practical innovations. Progressive scientists and conservation professionals are pursuing a radical new approach to restoring ecosystems: rewilding. By recovering the ripple effect generated by the interactions among plant and animal species and natural disturbances, rewilding seeks to repair ecosystems by removing them from human engineering and reassembling guilds of megafauna from a mix of surviving wild and feral species and de-domesticated breeds, including elk, bison, and feral horses. Written by two leaders in the field, this book offers an abundantly illustrated guide to the science of...
Byens grønne struktur
Ofte tænker vi natur og byer som to adskilte verdener. Når vi f.eks. forestiller os København, er det formentlig menneskemylderet ned ad Strøget og ikke de grønne bugtninger langs Christianshavns bastioner eller Amager Fælled, vi ser for os. Men det grønne er også en del af bybilledet og naturen ikke bare noget, vi kan vælge at opsøge langt væk i Thy. Den er lige for næsen af os midt mellem storbyens asfalt, beton og mursten og er en lige så uundværlig del af byen som butiksgader, palæer og rådhuspladser. I Byens grønne struktur. Natur og miljø i bylandskabet fortæller forfatterne om den blågrønne strøm af natur, som løber gennem alle byer, store som små. I gårdhaver...

Danmarks truede arter
Mange dyre-, svampe- og plantearter er i fare for at forsvinde fra den danske natur. I Danmark har eksperter vurderet arternes risiko for at uddo ? kaldet en rodlistevurdering ? i perioden 2003-2010. Resultatet er prAesenteret i Danmarks truede arter.Rodlistevurderingen viser, at det isAer er de krAesne arter, der er truede ? arter som stiller krav til levested eller fodekilde. Bogen prAesenterer resultatet af rodlistevurderingen og giver eksempler pa udvalgte arters levevis og levested. Fokus rettes mod nogle af de levesteder, der huser eller har huset mange af de truede arter. Disse levesteder forringes eller forsvinder ? og med dem de arter, der specifikt er knyttet hertil.I et kapitel gi...
Den uendelige have
Din have myldrer af liv. Travle jordhumler, flaksende citronsommerfugle og vimsende gAerdesmutter genskaber naturens magi for ojnene af os. Uden at sporge om lov gror grAesset. Vedbenden vokser. Og skvalderkalen skyder mellem stauderne.Naturen indtager haven, og vi kan stritte imod eller lAene os tilbage og nyde livet. Vi kan ogsa lege med.

Med haven som trAeningslejr forklarer han de okologiske principper for biodiversitet og kommer med gode rad og tips til, hvad vi helt konkret kan gore for at hjAelpe os selv og naturen pa vej i vores egne haver.
