In How Flowers Made Our World, biologist David Haskell redefines our understanding of flowers, casting them as powerful revolutionaries at the heart of Earth's story. Far from being mere ornaments, flowers have shaped the very fabric of life on our planet. When they first evolved, they triggered a cascade of biodiversity, transforming oceans, creating new habitats, and even altering the climate. Their beauty turned adversaries into allies, and their adaptability turned environmental upheavals into opportunities for renewal. Haskell shows how flowers have built and sustained ecosystems from rainforests to prairies, and how they have been pivotal in the evolution of species like butterflies, bees, and birds. Flowers also played a crucial role in human history, grasses calling to our ancestors to leave the trees and laying the foundation for agriculture and modern civilization. Through vivid storytelling and profound insights, Haskell reveals flowers as portals into deep time and essential players in our ecological future. How Flowers Made Our World invites readers to see these delicate blooms in a new light-as the dynamic and influential forces they truly are.

The Ultimate Guide for Birding Adventures

Bird-Watching Bucket List

A thoughtful exploration of how the Sahara Desert can be returned to its former glory as a green paradise while actively combating climate change. A green Sahara is something the world has not seen since 10,000 BC when the Sahara was a wet, lush region. Grasslands, woodlands, tropical forests, and wetlands, the natural plant bounty of the ancient Sahara, provided residents with enormous flocks of birds, fish in abundance, indigenous grains and herds of wild game. By 3,000 BC though the climate changed, the rains stopped, and the ancient green Sahara dried into today's desert. It had been the victim of a phenomenon that reminds us today of global climate warming, a tragedy that we have unwittingly brought upon ourselves. But what if we could reverse the desertification of the Sahara, and bring back the green paradise of days passed? In The Green Sahara: Reclaiming Paradise in the Face of Climate Change, John Gaudet explores the process by which climate change in ancient times converted a green paradise into an arid desert land, highlighting parallels to what is happening in our time. But he also illuminates how an intense effort to create green energy is being made by several Saharan countries to build and operate enormous solar and wind farms. As a result, a wave of green energy generated in the Sahara, the largest desert on earth, is about to swamp the world, and could lead to a regreening of the Sahara Desert. If a new green Sahara happens, how will the world benefit? Covering just 20% of the Sahara Desert with wind turbines and solar panels would generate almost five times more energy than is currently needed worldwide. Gaudet highlights further benefits of regreening the Sahara by deploying climate technology to the desert such as sequestering large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere and eliminating negative health and ecosystem effects felt worldwide from desert dust. Gaudet's manifesto demonstrates how, in this fascinating case, climate change induced by man actually has the power to save the world and restore a beautiful piece of ancient history.

Experience the wild beauty of birds around the Bay.Having explored San Francisco neighborhoods in three celebrated books, Dick Evans turns here to the avian species that call the Bay Area home. With his photographer's eye, he finds art and drama in the lives of birds, from the smallest sparrows to long-legged Great Blue Herons. He captures the pockets of wilderness in our cities that make the area a birder's paradise: from a marsh full of endangered birds wading in the reeds near the Oakland Airport to the isolated refuge of the Farallon Islands, home to a quarter-million seabirds and a handful of visiting scientists; from Crissy Field, flocked with egrets, to the pasturelands birds share with cattle. His vibrant images are interspersed with text by Hannah Hindley that weaves us more deeply into relationship with our avian neighbors, introducing readers to the natural history of the region, to themes of interdependence and ecology, and to the evolving challenges for birds in a densely settled urban environment. At the heart of these images and stories is love for the living descendants of dinosaurs as they soar and parade, and awe at their ephemerality and endurance. Evans's photos highlight the wonder of a world on the wing and the rich biodiversity of Bay Area birds.
