In this gorgeous coffee-table book, an offshoot of the Discovery Channel/ BBC series of the same name, zoologist and BBC producer Fothergill takes readers on a kaleidoscopic tour of the flora, fauna and natural history of the Earth’s poles, forests, plains, deserts, mountains and oceans. The series of jaw-dropping photographs starts with a view of Earth from the moon (and pointing out the obvious but shocking fact that no one has been able to see it live since the 1972 Apollo 17 mission).

Join Dr. Reese Halter, an award winning conservation biologist and television host, as he delves into the causes of wild weather and global warming.

When’s the last time you met someone that liked their junk mail? That’s right, never. It clogs your mailbox, takes a ton of time to sort, shred, or recycle and wastes counter space.
More than 100,000,000 trees are chopped down and 28 billion gallons of water are wasted EVERY YEAR producing junk mail. Unbelievably, Canadians receive some 13 billion pieces of admail annually. Most of this goes straight to the trash or recycling bin.

On March 30th, Science, one of the world’s most respected scientific journals, published a paper about how the overfishing of big sharks in our oceans has led to an increase in ray and skate populations which, in turn, is having cascading effects down the ocean food chain.
It’s a fascinating piece of work – one of those big-picture studies that helps connect the dots and shed light on the complex interconnections between various species in an ecosystem. But what makes this particular piece of science so important to me personally is the lead author – Ransom Myers of Dalhousie University in Halifax.
