Diary of a young Naturalist – Dara McAnnulty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

This book is the authentic journal of 15-year-old Dara McAnnulty \u2013 an explorer by birth.
We recommend reading the book with Google at hand, so that you can immediately imagine a hen harrier, a calocera viscosa or a mermaid’s purse. From the diary you will also learn something about the autistic perception of the world, and how, despite this difference, one can find his place in active conservation. A literature gem not only for young adults.
Martina’s voice : “I felt his excitement at the discovery of butterflies on a flowering buddleia and his anxiety about moving to a new place, lyrical descriptions of Irish scenery and harsh memories of school bullying”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bird of cottage – Eva Meijer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n

Dutch writer Eva Meijer has fictionalized the biography of British amateur ornithologist Len Howard. After years spent in bustling London, the talented violinist preferred a country house, which she (literally) opened wide to garden birds. She valued careful, systematic observation of their behavioural patterns and individual differences above almost everything else. The Bird Cottage<\/strong> is a book about a deep respect for the inconspicuous living creatures around us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Overstory – Richard Powers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n

Few works can rival The Overstory<\/strong> it in its richness and complexity. Against the backdrop of real historical events, the individual stories converge like roots into a mighty trunk, where some connect and others run parallel to each other, only to branch out in a different composition and send their seeds out into the world. All the characters, at some stage in their lives, are concerned with the well-being of the trees, so that in the end they may perhaps save humanity, which is greedily cutting them down. It is not an easy reading, but it is definitely unforgettable.
Martina’s voice : Author Richard Powers often uses the term primary forests, which I, as a European, did not understand at first; we have been accustomed to the cycle of logging and planting here since time immemorial. On the North American continent, however, the original timber, thanks to late white settlement, still stood (and were rapidly felling) in the mid-20th century, which triggered a powerful, often elemental wave of activism<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How bad are bananas? –<\/strong> Mike Berners-Lee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n

The book How bad are bananas? <\/strong>with the subtitle Carbon footprint of everything is proof that even environmental non-fiction can be funny. If you are interested in whether it is a tomato grown in a local greenhouse or an orange imported from overseas that leaves a smaller carbon footprint, you have come to the right place. Perfect comparisons of showering and bathing in a bathtub, cow’s milk and its plant-based substitutes, emissions from the production of cotton jeans and the use of synthetic materials \u2013 often not everything is as it seems at first glance. Mike Berners-Lee has dedicated many years to gathering evidence (he also provides references for many of them) and has gradually become a recognized expert in this field. Maybe it will help you change some of your habits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wilding – Isabella Tree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

What will nature do with a piece of land that man leaves fallow ?
In addition to honestly portraying her story of farming, including mistakes, errors and failures, the book is also a critical look at history, the legal system and not always beneficial conservation measures in England. Isabella tell us the story of Knepp Wildland<\/a> rewilding<\/a> project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author draws a fascinating picture of cause and effect. The drainage of the English marshes was followed by a boom in intensive agriculture in an attempt to ensure food self-sufficiency for the island country. The belief that the land is aesthetic when it\u00b4s neatly cultivated and where you can see who is the boss here soon penetrated into the DNA of the British. The owners of Knepp, after abandoning farming, had to face this note in particular. Birds, insects, and flowers reappeared as scrub developed and the land changed into wood pasture. Broader conservation issues are discussed in the context of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
