Many horse trainers, even those who espouse the so-called natural horsemanship approach, take the position that horses who fail to obey a human's request are doing so as much out of perversity as ignorance. That's not Mark Rashid's view. In his words, "If we understand that horses can't separate the way they feel from the way they act, then we can start to see that unwanted behavior isn't bad behavior at all. More times than not, it's just the horse expressing the way he feels at that particular moment in time....

Kämpferisch, bezaubernd, eindringlich: Goulsons Opus magnum über die Bedeutung der Insekten. Insekten mögen klein sein, aber sie verrichten die großen Arbeiten auf unserer Erde. Sie entsorgen Abfälle, bestäuben Pflanzen, ernähren unzählige Tierarten und bereichern die Welt mit ihrer vielgestaltigen Schönheit. Dennoch wird ihr Beitrag kaum wahrgenommen und Tag für Tag sterben hunderte Arten aus. Was bedeutet ihr Verschwinden für uns Menschen?

Das Meer ist unser erstaunlichstes und rätselhaftestes Ökosystem. Es waren mehr Menschen auf dem Mond als am Grund des Ozeans. Zu Unrecht, findet Meeresbiologin und Science-Slammerin Julia Schnetzer. Denn in der Unsterblichkeit von Quallen, der Sprache der Delfine und dem Lebensrhythmus von Unterwassermücken verbergen sich nicht nur neueste Erkenntnisse über unsere Umwelt, sondern auch über uns Menschen.

Haben Sie schon mal daran gedacht, sich zur Biberberaterin ausbilden zu lassen? An einem Kaninhop-Turnier teilgenommen? Einen Mäusepräparierkurs gemacht? Sich einen Tag am Halfter herumführen lassen, um sich besser in die Psyche eines Alpakas einzufühlen? Mit einer Kuh gekuschelt?

Qui aurait dit, il y a seulement quelques années, que les plantes étaient capables de réagir au vol d'une abeille, ou les corbeaux de réconforter un congénère blessé ? Qu'il suffisait aux poulpes d'observer un comportement pour le mémoriser, ou que des singes avaient créé un protolangage en associant plusieurs sons dans un même cri ? Non, Sapiens n'a pas le monopole de l'intelligence !

Un lobo marsupial extinto es un fantasma. Una tortuga es un espíritu antiguo que se pasea por una isla en el fin del mundo. Un oso polar disecado es la modesta prueba de una inmensa derrota. Ya sean las aguas microscópicas en las que habita el resistente tardígrado, la ardiente imaginación de la que proviene el imposible lebrílope o la reserva de Woodside, California, donde la gorila Koko aprendió lenguaje de señas, cada ecosistema se presenta como un lugar de descubrimiento, de comunión.

Ni el novelista más brillante de todos los tiempos podría haber imaginado un mundo con especies tan extraordinarias como las que alberga la Tierra. Con frecuencia, buscamos en la narrativa de ciencia ficción supuestos que nos muevan al asombro. Solemos creer que allí se encuentran las criaturas más extrañas y exóticas - como esas plantas fosforescentes de la película Avatar, o los gusanos de arena de la novela Dune. Pues bien, este audiolibro demuestra que, en el ámbito de la historia natural, la realidad supera con creces a la ficción.

Draghi, ciclopi, giganti, unicorni, fenici. Quando gli antichi si imbattevano in resti di animali sconosciuti, subito li attribuivano a creature fantastiche. Poi gli scienziati hanno dimostrato che si trattava solo di fantasie ancestrali: i mostri non esistono, oggi lo sappiamo tutti; eppure la spiegazione che gli studiosi hanno dato di quei reperti è stata addirittura più terrificante: prima di noi, una miriade di altri viventi abitava il nostro pianeta, ma ora non ci sono più. Sulla Terra, infatti, nulla è per sempre.

I lupi stanno tornando. Negli ultimi anni la loro popolazione in tutta Europa è aumentata in modo esponenziale. In Italia è più che decuplicata superando i duemila esemplari. Sempre più spesso vengono avvistati intorno ai centri abitati, nei pascoli, al limitare del bosco. Insieme alle tracce riemergono paure antiche, mai placate del tutto. Nemico da perseguitare, incarnazione del male, pericolo per raccolti e greggi: man mano che avanzava l'urbanizzazione e le foreste lasciavano spazio ai campi, i lupi sono stati cacciati, dagli eserciti o dagli stessi contadini.

En este original y ameno audiolibro de Javier Gimeno, un naturalista atolondrado, en sus propias palabras, amante de la Naturaleza desde que «tengo uso de razón» y biólogo-conservador en el parque Faunia (Madrid), se narran historias que nos cuentan los animales sin decir ni mu: singularidades, curiosidades y anécdotas de un mundo apasionante.
