More than a hundred salt lakes dot Earth's surface, most of them hidden away in remote desert valleys. But today nearly all of them are at risk of drying up. Their death is a harbinger of rising sea levels, life-threatening dust storms, and environmental collapse. Writer and geographer Caroline Tracey didn't know this when she began crossing paths with salt lakes during her early twenties. From the Great Salt Lake to the Aral Sea, across the American West and around the world, the unusual beauty of these shimmering, uncanny bodies of water captured her imagination.

You’ll learn how plants breathe, fight, move without moving, and outsmart their predators.

You’ll see why every bite of food, breath of air, and step you take still depends on a green machine quietly running in the background. This is how the world works.

Harald Lesch und Axel Kleidon sind sauer: Ein ums andere Mal versuchen Verantwortliche in Politik und Wirtschaft so zu tun, als könne man die Gesetze der Natur einfach ignorieren. Deshalb sprechen die beiden Physiker hier Klartext: Die Natur verhandelt nicht, sie ist nicht Partei, sie lässt sich nicht vereinnahmen. Sie folgt auf der ganzen Erde denselben allgemeingültigen Gesetzen – und die müssen unsere Leitplanken sein beim Umgang mit dem Klimawandel. Sie erläutern daher hier noch einmal kurz und knapp, was effiziente Energienutzung bedeutet, warum Energie entwertet wird.
