Before skyscrapers and smokestacks rose across the eastern U.S., elk, bison, wolves, and cougars roamed. Typically imagined as icons of the West, these large mammals are in fact native to what was once a kind of Eden—towering forests in the Northeast, rolling prairies in the Midwest, and cypress swamps in the Deep South. But, in mere decades, industrialization and unregulated hunting brought these emblems of the East to the precipice of extinction; by the 1950s, squirrels were one of the few wild mammals an easterner was likely to encounter.

A tour of some of the world's most iconic and endangered species - and what we can do to save them. Climate change and habitat destruction are not the only culprits behind so many animals facing extinction. The impact of consumer demand for cheap meat is equally devastating, and it is vital that we confront this problem if we are to stand a chance of reducing its effect on the world around us. Our planet's resources are reaching a breaking point.

Le best-seller de New-York Times pour la première fois en français en format audio ! Est-ce que c'est vrai qu'on est ce que l'on mange ? Depuis des milliers d'années on considérait l'homme comme le sommet de la chaîne alimentaire et que le régime carnivore était le seul style d'alimentation le plus sain. Au 21ème siècle nous avons accès aux produits alimentaires non seulement de notre région, mais aussi à ceux du monde entier, même aux plus exotiques. Le repas est devenu une nouvelle vogue, un nouvel moyen d'expression de soi. Mais en ayant la position dominante dans la nature, sommes-nous suffisamment responsables devant elle ?

Der sechsjährige Oskar und seine vierjährige Schwester Romy aus dem Tumbawunda-Tal machen im Frühjahr eine schreckliche Entdeckung: Nirgends summt es, nirgends brummt es. Sind die Wildbienen im Garten etwa nicht mehr da? Und auch sonst stimmt irgendetwas nicht. Es sind viel weniger Vögel im Garten, weniger Hasen auf dem Feld. Was ist denn da los in der Natur? Nachdenklich gehen sie abends zu Bett. Doch die Wildbienen und die Tiere gehen ihnen nicht mehr aus dem Kopf. Kurz vor dem Einschlafen passiert es: Im Halbschlaf sprechen sie in Angst um Hummeln, Eichhörnchen, Igel und Co. den magischen Code aus.
