Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. From the shark-rich waters surrounding Coco Island, Costa Rica, to the iceberg-studded sea off Franz Josef Land, Russia, this incredible photographic collection showcases the thriving marine ecosystems that Sala is working to protect. Offering a rare glimpse into the world's underwater Edens, more than 200 images take you to the frontier of the Pristine Seas expeditions, where Sala's teams explore the breathtaking wildlife and habitats from the depths to the surface--thriving ecosystems with healthy corals and a kaleidoscopic variety of colorful fish and stunning creatures that have been protected from human interference. With this dazzling array of photographs that capture the beauty of the water and the incredible wildlife within it, this book shows us the brilliance of the sea in its natural state. Since 2005, Sala has been working to find, survey, and protect the last healthy, undisturbed places in the ocean from the Arctic to the South Pacific.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. In this inspiring manifesto, an internationally renowned ecologist makes a clear case for why protecting nature is our best health insurance, and why it makes economic sense. Enric Sala wants to change the world--and in this compelling book, he shows us how. Once we appreciate how nature works, he asserts, we will understand why conservation is economically wise and essential to our survival. Here Sala, director of National Geographic's Pristine Seas project (which has succeeded in protecting more than 5 million sq km of ocean), tells the story of his scientific awakening and his transition from academia to activism--as he puts it, he was tired of writing the obituary of the ocean. His revelations are surprising, sometimes counterintuitive: More sharks signal a healthier ocean; crop diversity, not intensive monoculture farming, is the key to feeding the planet. Using fascinating examples from his expeditions and those of other scientists, Sala shows the economic wisdom of making room for nature, even as the population becomes more urbanized. In a sober epilogue, he shows how saving nature can save us all, by reversing conditions that led to the coronavirus pandemic and preventing other global catastrophes. With a foreword from Prince Charles and an introduction from E. O. Wilson, this powerful book will change the way you think about our world--and our future.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Enric Sala, ecologista y biólogo marino de fama mundial, nos muestra en este libro inspirador las múltiples razones por las que preservar la biodiversidad de la Tierra es fundamental tanto desde la lógica como desde las emociones y la economía. A partir de los momentos claves de su toma de conciencia científica, el autor nos enseña por qué nuestra supervivencia depende de todas las especies. De los microbios a los mamíferos, de las algas a los tiburones, todo lo que vive tiene una labor crucial en el tejido interdependiente de la biosfera, y esta obra explora cómo funciona exactamente ese engranaje, cuáles son las consecuencias de las actividades humanas que están destruyendo el mundo natural y qué soluciones prácticas debemos asumir. Muchos sistemas de creencias tienen entre sus principios el respeto a la naturaleza. En este libro, tan racional como sentido, Enric Sala añade también argumentos económicos a ese imperativo moral y logra cambiar nuestra manera de ver el mundo? y el futuro. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
