Résumé:
In the mild, humid climate of the Amazon forest, the sloth spends its entire life wrapped round the same tree, impassive and untouched by the light and sounds around it. It sleeps on regardless of the sudden arrival of the deforestation machinery: caterpillars, trucks, excavators and mechanical shears that rumble through the forest, scaring off all the other animals.The book tells the story of the sloth and its proverbial slowness, which is now placing it in danger from man’s short-sighted and tragic encroachment. Fourteen pop-up pages examine the gradual erosion of the Amazon forest. As we leaf through the pages, animals and trees appear before our eyes and in our hands, as if we were in a natural environment that is constantly changing. This book was printed with environmentally friendly soy ink on paper from responsible forests. Every year 13 million hectares of forest disappear. 90% of the deforestation is illegal and is threatening the survival of numerous species, including the Brazilian three-toed sloth. However, there is still time to prevent this destruction.

Résumé:
Part botany, part history, part cultural anthropology—''Trees: A Rooted History'' goes beyond the basics to tell readers everything they might want to know about this particular branch of the plant kingdom. ''Trees'' explores the important roles trees play in our ecosystem, takes an up-close-and-personal look at the parts of trees (from roots to leaves), and unpacks the cultural impact of trees from classification systems (like family trees) to art forms (like bonsai trees). Looking forward, ''Trees'' also addresses the deforestation crisis.

Résumé:
A View from the Porch is an illuminating collection of 22 essays about the points where design touches life and the big and small things that make us appreciate, or become disconnected from, our homes and neighbourhoods. Architect, planner, and educator, Avi Friedman delves into issues such as the North American obsession with monster homes, the impact of scale on the feeling of comfort in our communities, environmental concerns such as deforestation, innovative recycling methods in building materials, the booming do-it-yourself industry, the decline of craftsmanship, and the role of good design in bringing families together.

Using the innovative concept of “slow violence” to describe these threats, Rob Nixon focuses on the inattention we have paid to the attritional lethality of many environmental crises, in contrast with the(...)

Résumé:
The violence wrought by climate change, toxic drift, deforestation, oil spills, and the environmental aftermath of war takes place gradually and often invisibly. Using the innovative concept of “slow violence” to describe these threats, Rob Nixon focuses on the inattention we have paid to the attritional lethality of many environmental crises, in contrast with the sensational, spectacle-driven messaging that impels public activism today. Slow violence, because it is so readily ignored by a hard-charging capitalism, exacerbates the vulnerability of ecosystems and of people who are poor, disempowered, and often involuntarily displaced, while fueling social conflicts that arise from desperation as life-sustaining conditions erode.

Résumé:
Smartphones, laptops, tablets, and e-readers all at one time held the promise of a more environmentally healthy world not dependent on paper and deforestation. The result of our ubiquitous digital lives is, as we see in The Anthrobscene, actually quite the opposite: not ecological health but an environmental wasteland, where media never die. Jussi Parikka critiques corporate and human desires as a geophysical force, analyzing the material side of the earth as essential for the existence of media and introducing the notion of an alternative deep time in which media live on in the layer of toxic waste we will leave behind as our geological legacy.
