Byens hemmelige liv historier fra den urbane villmarka
Ordinær pris 379,00 krHoveddelen av Europas befolkning lever i by eller tettbygde strøk, og bynaturen er den naturen folk flest stifter bekjentskap med. I denne boka finner Bjørgaas fram til den mest fascinerende fagkunnskapen vi har om arter og natur i by. Men boka er også en kjærlighetserklæring til biologene og fagfolkene som engasjerte og entusiastiske deler av sin kunnskap. Målet hennes er å inspirerere seg selv - og andre byboere - til å føle at de selv er en del av naturen, også i byen. Finner vi en ny måte å gå ut døra hjemme på?

Fungi Collected in Shropshire and Other Neighbourhoods
Ordinær pris 249,00 krVenture into the woods alongside a pioneering female mycologist. This one-of-a-kind, keepsake volume celebrates the timeless fascination of fungi. Very little is known about M.
F. Lewis—not even her first name. Mysterious, prolific, and deeply enamored with the world of mushrooms, she left us a treasure trove of mycological illustrations.
For over forty years, from 1860 to 1902, Lewis rambled across England and Wales, recording an astonishing biodiversity of fungi. Her delicately drawn, boldly colored images evoke the strange and powerful beauty of this kingdom. This handsome volume collects hundreds of Lewis's watercolors, contextualized by a foreword from mycologist Dr. Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian.
It's a must-have for today's mushroom lovers who are curious about the history of mycology and for any admirer of vintage botanical illustration who wants to discover something different. FASCINATING FUNGI: Mushrooms are having a real moment, but they've always captured our imaginations, even in Victorian times. Lewis's gorgeous artwork offers the modern mushroom fan a new way to appreciate their favorite kingdom.

Galapagos Crusoes
Ordinær pris 179,00 krA new, updated version of the celebrated 1968 title, Galapagos: Islands of Birds, by the renowned late ornithologist Bryan Nelson, with additional, previously unpublished reminiscences and lively and irreverent memories from his wife June. This timely reissue breathes new life into a classic work of natural history that will appeal to bird-lovers and Galapagos-lovers alike. It is as memorable for its groundbreaking descriptions of Galapagos wildlife as for June's naked appearance in the News of the World accompanied by a quote from the Duke of Edinburgh.
In 1964 the late Bryan Nelson, a zoologist, and his wife June spent a year living on two uninhabited, waterless Galapagos islands studying the three species of booby ('we couldn't resist also studying the great frigatebird and waved albatross, too' says June). Bryan's book, Galapagos: Islands of Birds was published in 1968 and, although by necessity a scientific study, his light touch and the extraordinary hardships and delights of living in total isolation with no means of rescue should things go wrong, make it an exceptionally good read. Now, nearly 60 years later, June Nelson has extracted the story of that extraordinary year and complemented it with her own recollections.
The couple's research and findings remain relevant and interesting, so plenty of wildlife descriptions are retained, but it is the mischievous mocking birds and friendly sea lions which will captivate the reader as much as the famous blue-footed boobies and waved albatrosses. At the end of their stay on Hood, when their clothes were literally in tatters and they went barefoot, they had news of the imminent visit of The Duke of Edinburgh and the Royal Yacht Britannia. June's description of this visit and their lunch on board with Prince Philip, make a surreal ending to a year of deteriorating food: 'Now our flour had around 50 maggots or beetles per pound...

Habitats
Ordinær pris 499,00 krExplore the world's natural habitats and the plants and animals that live there. From the depths of the ocean to soaring mountain peaks - via coral reefs, deserts, rainforests, and even cityscapes - discover how unexpected wildlife partnerships make up the habitats plants and animals call home. Each habitat section starts with a fascinating illustration to explain how it works, exploring the combination of conditions, plants, and animals that make it up.

Survival strategies can be extreme, including frogs that can survive frozen through winter to emerge unharmed in spring.

These intricately balanced systems create an incredible and fascinating variety of life on our planet. So what are you waiting for?

I Skogens Dype, Stille Ro. Jakten på Den Norske Urskogen
Ordinær pris 399,00 krOm den verdifulle skogen vi er i ferd med å miste Vi hører ikke skogen. Den bare står der. I skyggen av fjellene. For i Norge er det fjellene som løper med oppmerksomheten. Det har sin pris. Gammelskogen har blitt så sjelden at mange av oss ikke lenger vet hvordan den ser ut. Og urskogen? Den urørte, ville skogen? Den er nesten borte. Men bare nesten. Med nysgjerrighet og kjærlighet til skogen som drivkraft drar forfatteren på jakt etter historien til den norske urskogen i bortgjemte raviner, under bergvegger, oppå øde åsrygger og i juv, der sola aldri skinner. Underveis oppdager han at de som har ansvaret for å ta vare på skogen kanskje ikke er så flinke som de gir inntrykk av, og før han vet ordet av det befinner han seg midt i kampen om Norges mest verneverdige skoger. Ikke bare langt unna, i fjerntliggende ødemarker, men rett utenfor byen. I denne personlige fortellingen vi er med forfatteren rundt i den norske skogen. Underveis lar han oss oppleve gleden ved å oppdage urgamle krokfuruer og sjeldne arter som huldrestry, samtidig som vi lærer om betydningen av å ta vare på den gamle skogen. Forfatterens egne opplevelser flettes sammen med populærvitenskapelig fagstoff til en unik bok om skog.

Madagascar Wildlife
Ordinær pris 309,00 krThis new, fifth edition of Bradt's Madagascar Wildlife, first published over 25 years ago, celebrates the unique fauna of this remarkable Indian Ocean island. Written by naturalist tour-leaders and Madagascar experts, and aimed at visitors and natural-history enthusiasts alike, this guide has been thoroughly updated to reflect both the latest discoveries - on an island where new species for science are continuously discovered - and the latest developments at the country's top wildlife-tourism locations. Wildlife is the key draw for English-speaking visitors to Madagascar.
Enjoying nature couldn't be more different to continental Africa. Rather than going out on safari to see the Big Five from the safety of a jeep, in Madagascar you approach wildlife on rainforest strolls, without fear of encountering dangerous snakes or angry elephants. From its endearing lemurs and comical chameleons to the endemic birds and bizarre insects, this is the only guide to showcase the whole range of Madagascar's captivating wildlife.
It features lively descriptions of animals and their behaviour - perfect for the interested layman - complemented by 280 sumptuous colour photographs. A 'Habitats and Hotspots' chapter details the island's various ecosystems and presents concise information on where best to see fascinating species, helping readers choose which parks and reserves to visit - from Masoala and Ranomafana to Ifaty and Berenty. An incredible 90% of Madagascar's plants and animals are unique to the world's oldest island.
Accordingly, this guide also tells the story of how Madagascar came to be so different from the rest of the world, and why evolution took a different tangent to create such an extraordinary and unparalleled array of creatures. Read about Madagascar's remarkable chameleon diversity: half the world's species occur here, including the smallest and largest. And prepare to be astonished by an orchid with a ridiculously long nectary tube that prompted Charles Darwin to correctly predict that there would be a moth that had evolved an equally absurd 30-cm-long tongue to reach it.
