Robert Macfarlane brings his glittering style to a profound work of travel writing, reportage, and natural history. Is a River Alive? is a joyful, mind-expanding exploration of an ancient, urgent idea: that rivers are living beings who should be recognized as such in imagination and law. Macfarlane takes listeners on three unforgettable journeys teeming with extraordinary people, stories, and places: to the miraculous cloud-forests and mountain streams of Ecuador, to the wounded creeks and lagoons of India, and to the spectacular wild rivers of Canada.

Prairies are an ecosystem that historically spanned the center of this continent from the Rocky Mountains to east of the Mississippi and from Texas north to Saskatchewan. Although less than 5% of that prairie remains today, it is critical habitat for a number of invertebrates. Prairies are incredibly diverse and hold many exciting stories.To help us explore prairies and their critters is prairie ecologist Chris Helzer. Chris works for the Nature Conservancy as the Director of Science and Stewardship in Nebraska, where, among other things, he supervises TNC’s work on the Platte River Prairies...

No eres solo humano, eres un universo de bacterias con más poder sobre ti del que crees…¡úsalo a tu favor! "El camino hacia la salud microbiana no es tarea sencilla. Sin embargo, con valentía, constancia, determinación y el apoyo de profesionales capacitados, lograrás que sea posible". ¿Sabías que en nuestro cuerpo existen más de 38 billones de bacterias? ¿Y que si las agrupamos conforman al menos mil especies distintas? Están en todas partes: en los intes¬tinos, en la boca, en el aparato reproductor, en toda nuestra piel.

From the 1948 US edition: This is the story of the most publicized jungle animal that ever lived. In his best-selling Man-Eater's of Kumaon, Jim Corbett told of his battles with many man-eating tigers.

Leopards very rarely become man-eaters, but those few that do are the peers of the man-eating tigers in ferocity and possess an even greater cunning.

Welcome to Avian Flu 101: Your H5N1 Bird Flu Guide. Today, we’re diving into the essentials of bird flu, focusing on the H5N1 subtype. Imagine viruses like tiny invaders; they’re not alive but can hijack living cells to make more of themselves. The H5N1 virus is what scientists call a subtype of the influenza virus. The "H" stands for hemagglutinin, and the "N" for neuraminidase—proteins on the virus's surface. There are 18 H subtypes and 11 N subtypes, making many combinations possible. Bird flu has been with us for decades. The first significant outbreak of H5N1 was in 1997 in Hong ...
