Macht euch die Erde untertan«: Vor rund 3000 Jahren legte der Autor der Genesis seinem Schöpfer diesen Satz in den Mund. Damit war die Idee geboren, dass der Mensch eine Sonderstellung auf der Erde einnimmt und deren Ressourcen rücksichtslos ausbeuten darf. Sie war so stark, dass sie sich über den ganzen Planeten verbreitete. Wer sich ihr widersetzte, bekam es mit Kolonisatoren und Geschäftemachern zu tun, die sich auf angeblich höhere Werte beriefen.

Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures.

A thin, invisible layer of air surrounds the Earth, sustaining all known life on the planet and creating the unique climates and weather patterns that make each part of the world different. In Firmament, atmospheric scientist and science communicator Simon Clark offers a rare and accessible tour...

World-renowned volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer has worked at the crater's edge in the wildest places on Earth. He's faced down AK47s, learned from tribal elders, and watched red hot rocks shoot into the sky. More people have been into space than have set eyes on the fiery depths of Mount Erebus in Antarctica, where he has measured the Earth's powerful forces. In Mountains of Fire, he paints volcanoes as otherworldly, magical places where our history is laid bare, and shows us just how entangled volcanic activity is with our climate, economy, politics, culture and beliefs.

Although we usually think of technology as something unique to modern times, our ancestors began to create the first technologies millions of years ago in the form of prehistoric tools and weapons. Over time, eight key technologies gradually freed us from the limitations of our animal origins.

In Origins, Frank H. T. Rhodes explores the origin and evolution of living things, the changing environments in which they have developed, and the challenges we now face on an increasingly crowded and polluted planet. Rhodes argues that the future well-being of our burgeoning population depends in no small part on our understanding of life's past, its long and slow development, and its intricate interdependencies.

Sky at Night presenter Dr Tim Gregory takes us on a journey through the very earliest days of our Solar System to the spectacular meteorite falls that produced 'fiery rain' in 1792, to the pre-solar grains (literally stardust) that were blown in from other solar systems and are the oldest solid objects ever discovered on earth. Meteorites reveal a story much bigger than ourselves or our planet. As Tim says, 'It is an epic beyond compare.'

Ever since we first started discovering dinosaurs in the early 1800s, our obsession for uncovering everything about these creatures has been insatiable. Each generation has made huge strides in trying to better our understanding of these animals, and in the past 20 years, we have made more discoveries than in the previous 200. There have been extraordinary advances in palaeontological methods, and ever more dinosaur fossils promise a landslide of new data and huge leaps forward in our understanding of these incredible animals. 

Humankind has explored every continent on earth, climbed its tallest mountains, and gone into space. But the largest areas of our planet remain a mystery: the deep oceans. At over 36,000 feet deep, these areas closest to earth’s core have remained nearly impossible to reach - until now. Technological innovations, engineering breakthroughs and the derring-do of a unique team of engineers and scientists, led by explorer Victor Vescovo, brought together an audacious global quest to dive to the deepest points of all five oceans for the first time in history. 

Bloomsbury presents The Brilliant Abyss written and read by Helen Scales. The deep sea is the last, vast wilderness on the planet. This is the story of our relationship with it – how we imagine, explore and exploit it. For centuries, myth-makers and storytellers have concocted imaginary...

Weathering the storm is a svswx.com podcast with me, your host, Sara. WTS is committed to sharing research, data analysis, updates, discussions and information about severe weather events in the United States.

In diesem Podcast geht es um Paläontologie, genauer gesagt das Mesozoikum, sprich den Zeitraum in dem die großen nicht – Vogel Dinosaurier ihr Unwesen trieben. Es geht aber nicht nur um diesen Zeitraum, sondern auch um Grundlagen der Geologie, Paläontologie, um Pop-kulturelles, geschichtliches und mehr.
