Kovács Tücsi Mihály: Magyar koponyák, akik megváltoztatták a világot
This is a volume about well-known and lesser-known people. About Hungarians who have done a lot in their area, so that we can be justly proud of them, but who we sometimes know undeservedly little about.
This is not an encyclopedia, for that it would be too small, since many Hungarians created lasting things. Rather, it's just a call for attention. A small slice of the history of science, about those who did a lot for science, development, and progress, who really changed a small or large part of the human world with their actions.
We give the reader an admittedly subjective collection, as we have selected the people presented in the book in a quite unusual way. For this new point of view, you only had to look up, because there are many Hungarians whose names were written in the sky. It is a great honor to have a crater or an asteroid named after someone in the Solar System. We selected from among them. A statue may be destroyed, may fall, or may even be toppled, but as long as our culture lives, looking at the planets their names will survive.
Peter Wohlleben: The Power of Trees: How Ancient Forests Can Save Us if We Let Them
In his beloved book The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben revealed astonishing discoveries about the social networks of trees and how they communicate. Now, in The Power of Trees, he turns to their future, with a searing critique of forestry management, tree planting, and the exploitation of old growth forests. As human-caused climate change devastates the planet, forests play a critical role in keeping it habitable. While politicians and business leaders would have us believe that cutting down forests can be offset by mass tree planting, Wohlleben offers a many tree planting schemes lead to ecological disaster. Not only are these trees more susceptible to disease, flooding, fires, and landslides, we need to understand that forests are more than simply a collection of trees. Instead, they are ecosystems that consist of thousands of species, from animals to fungi and bacteria. The way to save trees, and ourselves? Step aside and let forests—which are naturally better equipped to face environmental challenges—to heal themselves. With the warmth and wonder familiar to readers from his previous books, Wohlleben also shares emerging scientific research about how forests shape climates both locally and across continents; that trees adapt to changing environmental conditions through passing knowledge down to their offspring; and how old growth may in fact have the most survival strategies for climate change. At the heart of The Power of Trees lies Wohlleben's passionate that our survival is dependent on trusting ancient forests, and allowing them to thrive.
