Аннотация
Vi kender alle historien om den der fjer, der blev til fem hons. Men hvordan blev Adam til en abe, og solle 6000 ar til 4,6 milliarder fjer ? undskyld, ar? Det er svAerere at forklare. En ting er sikker: Mennesket har altid villet vide, hvor det kom fra, og hvordan det hele begyndte. DesvAerre ved vi ikke sAerlig meget om menneskets oprindelse. Til gengAeld finder vi pa en hel masse i historien om os, alt efter hvad vi selv foretrAekker at hore. Sikke et held, at vi har Ole Hoiris, menneskekender ved Aarhus Universitet, til at skille vandene i maj maneds TAenkepause.
Аннотация
VAerdier, holdninger og kon afgor, hvor klimavenligt vi handler i dagligdagen. Komplicerede opgorelser over CO2-udledninger er derimod uden storre betydning for folks handlinger. Politiske initiativer skal vAere forenelige med hverdagslivets rutiner for at have en effekt.Denne bog er den forste sociologiske analyse af, hvordan danske unge forholder sig til den globale opvarmning. Fokus ligger pa de 18-35-arige, hvis adfAerd bliver afgorende for fremtidens klima. Undersogelsen viser, at unge er bekymrede for klimaforandringerne og generelt vil patage sig et ansvar for at mindske udledningen af CO2. Men de ved ikke hvordan, og mange tvivler pa, at den personlige indsats nytter i det store perspektiv. Et flertal efterlyser derfor et stAerkere politisk lederskab pa klimaomradet.Klimaets sociale tilstand giver indsigt i forhold, der enten modvirker eller stotter de unges udvikling af en mere klimavenlig adfAerd. Da mange unge integrerer deres klimaforstaelse med en bekymring for naturen, kan statslige indgreb fx med fordel knyttes til individets naturinteresse og onske om at beskytte miljoet.
Аннотация
“Eco-lit needs more attention, and devotees will be pleased to discover a new addition from the Icelandic author Andri Snaer Magnason, who writes with a Seussian mix of wonder, wit and gravitas … immensely satisfying.”— New York Times Finalist for the 2021 Nordic Council Literature Prize Asked by a leading climate scientist why he wasn’t writing about the greatest crisis mankind has faced, Andri Snær Magnason, one of Iceland’s most beloved writers and public intellectuals, protested: he wasn’t a specialist, he said. It wasn’t his field. But the scientist persisted: “If you cannot understand our scientific findings and present them in an emotional, psychological, poetic or mythological context,” he told him, “then no one will really understand the issue, and the world will end.” Based on interviews and advice from leading glacial, ocean, climate, and geographical scientists, and interwoven with personal, historical, and mythological stories, Magnason’s resulting response is a rich and compelling work of narrative nonfiction that illustrates the reality of climate change and offers hope in the face of an uncertain future. Moving from reflections on how one writes an obituary for a glacier to exhortation for a heightened understanding of human time and our obligations to one another, throughout history and across the globe, On Time and Water is both deeply personal and globally minded: a travel story, a world history, a desperate plea to live in harmony with future generations—and is unlike anything that has yet been published on the current climate emergency.

From the author of <i>The Secret Knowledge of Water</i> and <i>Atlas of a Lost World</i> comes a deeply felt essay collection focusing upon a vivid series of desert icons—a half–blind bighorn ram, a sheet of virga over Monument Valley, solitude on the Green River. Craig Childs delves into the primacy of the land and the profound nature of the more–than–human.

"These essays combine an adventurer's soul with a philosopher's head. Kudos to Zak Podmore, a fresh new voice from the West." <br>—<b>PHILIP CONNORS</b>, author of <i>A Song for the River</i>
<br><br>"An ambitious, adventurous ride. The words themselves move like rivers—from choked, bucking rapids to languid flat water, to eddies swirling with uncomfortable truths… Zak Podmore has unleashed the kind of storytelling that will inspire the next great wave of ecological activism—and not a moment too soon." <br>—<b>AMY IRVINE</b>, author of <i>Desert Cabal</i>
<br><br>"The publication of <i>Confluence</i> marks the arrival of an important new voice in the West." <br>—<b>DAVID GESSNER</b>, author of <i>Ultimate Glory</i> and <i>All the Wild that Remains</i>
<br><br>"Finally! Finally a young writer who deeply feels and understands the power of water, the power of emotion, the power of words. <i>Confluence</i> is a profoundly personal and philosophical look at Western rivers and their value to all souls." <br>—<b>ANDY NETTELL</b>, Back of Beyond Books
<br><br>In the wake of his river–running mother's death, Zak Podmore explores the healing power of wild places through a lens of grief and regeneration. Visceral, first–person narratives include a canoe crossing of the Colorado River delta during a rare release of water, a kayak sprint down a flash–flooding Little Colorado River, and a packraft trip on the Elwha River in Washington through the largest dam removal project in history.

In support of tribal efforts to protect the Bears Ears, Native writers bear testimony to the fragile and essential nature of this sacred landscape in America’s remote red rock country. Through poem and essay, these often-ignored voices explore the ways many native people derive tradition, sustenance, and cultural history from the Bears Ears.
