ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Il bosco. Istruzioni per l'uso

Peter Wohlleben sa guardare boschi e foreste con occhi curiosi ed esperti, e grazie al suo aiuto potremo anche noi carpirne i segreti più nascosti: impareremo a orientarci senza l'aiuto di una bussola; scopriremo dove è meglio raccogliere i deliziosi frutti rossi; sapremo proteggerci dagli insetti e trovare il posto migliore in cui piazzare la tenda per il nostro campeggio. In questa guida adatta ai grandi e ai più piccoli, c'è tutto quello che bisogna sapere per trasformare una passeggiata nel bosco in una esperienza straordinaria e divertente, e per amare, tutelare e preservare dallo sfruttamento lo splendore della natura.

Wohlleben Peter
L'orologio della natura. Prevedere il tempo comprendere le stagioni capire gli animali e le piante conoscere l'ambiente in cui viviamo
br. Lasciati guidare dai tuoi sensi. Ti piacerebbe imparare a prevedere il tempo basandoti sui segnali che la natura ci lancia? Oppure comprendere gli animali e le piante che ci circondano? Peter Wohlleben ci invita a educare i sensi per percepire i segnali del vento, delle nuvole, delle piante e degli animali. Fuori dalla nostra porta di casa avvengono migliaia di piccoli e grandi fenomeni, belli e affascinanti, quasi magici, dobbiamo solo imparare a percepirli, alla scoperta della natura. Possiamo capire che tempo farà osservando i fiori, le calendule possono dirci che ore sono e le gru, sapendo come guardarle, si trasformano in termometri viventi. Impara a gioire delle esperienze entusiasmanti e rilassanti che la natura ci offre ogni giorno, e fai della natura la tua più cara insegnante: sarà in grado di fornirti utili indicazioni per la cura del giardino, dalle varietà da piantare fino alla protezione invernale, passando per l'innaffiatura. Peter Wohlleben, convinto ambientalista e guardia forestale, in questo libro ci illustra i risvolti scientifici dei fenomeni quotidiani e di famose regole contadine, fa piazza pulita di alcune leggende e mette in guardia da interventi che determinano importanti conseguenze nel mondo animale e vegetale. Un manuale ricco di divertentissimi aneddoti e preziose informazioni, ma soprattutto un appassionato appello a rispettare e vivere pienamente la natura che ci circonda. "Il motivo principale che mi ha spinto a scrivere questo libro è stato quello di aumentare il piacere e il relax che si provano in giardino. È così bello prendere coscienza di cose a cui finora non avevamo prestato alcuna attenzione, è così emozionante intuire i cambiamenti nelle condizioni meteorologiche e nel regno vegetale e animale prima ancora che avvengano! Quando andiamo in giro con tutti i sensi attivati, la natura ci è più che mai vicina, e l'antico legame fra noi e il nostro ambiente può essere riallacciato" (Peter Wohlleben).

Wohlleben Peter
La rete invisibile della natura
ril. Il mondo che ci circonda è come un grande orologio: tutti gli ingranaggi sono perfettamente collegati tra loro, e ogni componente è decisiva per il tutto. Eppure è impossibile non rimanere stupefatti scoprendo le inaspettate sorprese che la natura riserva: sembra incredibile, ma esistono alberi capaci di modificare la rotazione terrestre, lupi in grado di deviare il corso dei fiumi e persino lombrichi fondamentali per la sopravvivenza dei cinghiali. Ma in che modo animali e piante, foreste e mari, montagne e cambiamenti climatici riescono a influenzarsi a vicenda? Osservatore scrupoloso e narratore appassionato, Peter Wohlleben ci mostra le connessioni alla base del sistema complesso di cui siamo parte; e grazie a decenni di esperienze come guardia forestale passate al vaglio delle più recenti scoperte scientifiche, ci rende consapevoli dei rischi che l'intervento sconsiderato dell'uomo ha sul fragile equilibrio del nostro prezioso pianeta.

Wohlleben Peter
La saggezza degli alberi
ill., ril. Sono gli esseri viventi più forti e resistenti del nostro pianeta, quelli più longevi, eppure della vita degli alberi sappiamo molto poco. A tratti però intuiamo che dietro quella loro corteccia ruvida si possono celare segreti a prima vista inaccessibili. Peter Wohlleben ci svela nel suo libro i misteri più affascinanti di questi giganti: scopriamo che sono dotati di forme di comunicazione e sensibilità sorprendenti; che sono solitamente esseri prudenti, ai quali ogni forma di fretta è estranea; che gli esemplari di una stessa specie tendono ad allearsi, a difendersi l'uno l'altro o a sostenere i malati (ma questo non accade nel caso degli alberi piantati dall'uomo); scopriamo che le betulle sono delle egoiste guerriere solitarie, ma anche che questo carattere impulsivo ha il suo prezzo, limitando la loro speranza di vita a 120 anni, che per gli alberi è molto bassa; oppure che il faggio tende a crescere a tal punto da aprirsi un varco tra le chiome di altre specie per poi oscurarle con il suo fogliame finché i concorrenti oppressi non muoiono. "La saggezza degli alberi" è il racconto di un mondo che credevamo di conoscere ma che invece è ancora tutto da decifrare, un libro ricco di sorprese su essere viventi che ci somigliano molto più di quanto non crediamo.
