I watched the mirror for a last view, for now, of the frozen mountains of Glen Coe. As the road bent, and the outline of Buachaille Etive Mor slid into sight, I did what I always did and always would. I felt for that flutter of awe and that indefinable, unmistakable quickening of the pulse. In the late eighteenth century, mountains shifted from being universally reviled to becoming the most inspiring things on Earth. Simply put, the monsters became muses - and an entire artistic movement was born.

Otters hold an almost unique place in the animal kingdom of the British Isles, being one of the very few creatures that give birth once every two years. They are the most secretive yet also the most popular mammals - they are found in every county but are so rarely seen that they have been raised to mythical status. When Simon Cooper bought an abandoned water mill that straddles a small chalkstream in Southern England, little did he know that he would come to share the mill with a family of wild otters.

La vita di Simone Moro è un potentissimo sogno verticale. È una vertigine scatenata da una passione assoluta, divorante. Quella passione che è la forza propulsiva indispensabile per realizzare grandi imprese, per andare oltre. Dopo diversi audiolibri dedicati a singoli momenti ed esperienze - dalla tragedia dell'Annapurna alla storica conquista del Nanga Parbat in inverno, alle attività con l'elicottero -, Simone Moro, avendo appena superato il crinale dei 50 anni, sente ora l'esigenza di ripercorrere il proprio cammino di alpinista.

Meteorologists Simon King and Clare Nasir reveal the captivating ways the weather works, from exploring incredible weather phenomenon (how are rainbows formed?) and expertly breaking down our knowledge of the elements (could we harness the power of lightning?) to explaining the significance of weather in history (has the weather ever started a war?) and importantly discussing the future of weather (could climate modification save the planet?). In What Does Rain Smell Like? Simon and Clare uncover the thrilling science behind a subject that affects us all.

Simone Moro ripercorre vent'anni di spedizioni in Himalaya senza nascondere nulla, né le grandi soddisfazioni né le difficoltà e le rinunce. Il suo è un lungo viaggio di avvicinamento, dalle Alpi bergamasche fino in cima al sogno di raggiungere la vetta più alta della Terra. L'Everest per Simone non è solo una vetta da raggiungere, è la ragione per cui vale la pena di crescere, di camminare dal campo base alla cima, attraverso crepacci, successi, bufere improvvise, momenti di sconforto, incontri con amici veri e persone di cui è meglio non fidarsi.

Mehr Wildnis wagen - für ein vollkommen neues Verhältnis zur Natur. "Rewilding" ist die Antwort auf die Klimakrise. Es bedeutet: Kontrolle abgeben und die Natur sich selbst überlassen. In der Folge entstehen intakte Ökosysteme, die nicht nur Tieren und Pflanzen neue Lebensräume bieten, sondern auch für saubere Luft, sauberes Wasser und fruchtbare Böden sorgen. Die Kohlendioxid binden und vor Hochwasser und anderen Klimaextremen schützen. Simone Böcker verbreitet die positive Botschaft: Das Artensterben ist nicht nur aufzuhalten, es kann umgekehrt werden.

Simone Moro racconta l’eroica spedizione sull'Annapurna del 1997 che purtroppo ebbe un epilogo tragico: i due suoi compagni di cordata persero la vita travolti da una valanga di dimensioni enormi, il ghiaccio e le rocce che li investirono non lasciarono loro scampo. Diversa fu la sorte di Simone: sopravvisse miracolosamente a un volo di 800 metri e in modo quasi soprannaturale rimase praticamente illeso. Cometa sull’Annapurna è la cronaca di quei lontani giorni vissuti al limite della sopravvivenza, e della sua amicizia con Anatoli Boukreev, il grande alpinista russo morto sull’Annapurna.

A 44 anni e con 44 spedizioni alle spalle, Simone Moro - nel mezzo della sua straordinaria carriera alpinistica - ha sentito l'esigenza di raccontarsi e soprattutto di mettere a fuoco il senso di quello che lui definisce il suo sogno "quasi impossibile": la scelta di affrontare le massime vette del pianeta nella stagione più ostile, l'inverno.

Per la prima volta nella storia della letteratura di montagna, questo libro è stato scritto quasi interamente durante l'ascensione fino a oltre ottomila metri del Nanga Parbat, che Simone ha intrapreso alla fine del dicembre 2011.
