Tropische Wälder in der Antarktis. Ein Wasserfall von unvorstellbarer Größe, der das trockene Mittelmeerbecken mit Leben füllt. Eine Python, die in der kenianischen Savanne frühe Verwandte des Menschen auf Bäume jagt. Die Vergangenheit ist lebendig – und sie hinterlässt Spuren. Der Paläontologe Thomas Halliday entziffert sie origineller denn je. Anschaulich lässt er verlorene Welten wiederaufleben, erklärt, wie Ökosysteme entstehen und verschwinden, wie alte Spezies durch neue verdrängt werden, wie Lebewesen wandern, sich anpassen und entwickeln.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, North American and European governments generously funded the discoveries of such famous paleontologists and geologists as Henry de la Beche, William Buckland, Richard Owen, Thomas Hawkins, Edward Drinker Cope, O. C. Marsh, and Charles W. Gilmore. In this book, Jane Davidson explores the motivation behind this rush to fund exploration, arguing that eagerness to discover strategic resources like coal deposits was further fueled by patrons who had a genuine passion for paleontology and the fascinating creatures that were being unearthed.

Environment, climate change and sustainability podcast making big issues bite-sized. We explain the science and explore the things that we can do to make a difference. By Emma Brisdion and Sophie Pavelle.

Si l’on parle régulièrement des océans dans le contexte écologique, nous abordons rarement les grandes profondeurs que l’on connaît moins bien que la galaxie ! Ainsi, le vaisseau ROV SuBastian qui est descendu à 2 900 mètres en mars, a découvert des centaines de nouvelles espèces dont on ignorait l’existence. Dans cet ouvrage, Théo Drieu et Manon Bérardi (Balades mentales) encouragent l’exploration de ce monde inconnu en en dévoilant des facettes qui dépassent notre imagination. Leurs textes pleins d’humour embarquent le lecteur à la rencontre des écosystèmes et de nouvelles lois de la chimie et de la physique.
