Als u aan de natuur denkt, waar denkt u dan aan? Bos? Bergen? Pluizige beestjes? Waar u waarschijnlijk niet aan denkt is techniek, maar hoe gek het ook klinkt: de natuur zit er vol mee. In bijna 4 miljard jaar zijn fantastische biologische oplossingen ontstaan die we kunnen gebruiken als inspiratie voor onze eigen menselijke toepassingen. Dit is precies wat bionica doet. Zo is een hogesnelheidstrein in Japan uitgerust met een efficiënte 'ijsvogelneus' en leveren botten inspiratie voor materiaalbesparing. De out-of-the-box-toepassingen kunnen technisch zijn, maar bieden ook oplossingen voor maatschappelijke uitdagingen en sociale innovatie. De natuur gebruikt efficiëntie en duurzaamheid als basis voor het voortbestaan van het leven op aarde en daar kan de mens, door goed af te kijken, nog veel van leren.

This book provides reflection on the increasingly blurry boundaries that characterize the human-animal relationship. In the Anthropocene humans and animals have come closer together and this asks for rethinking old divisions. Firstly, new scientific insights and technological advances lead to a blurring of the boundaries between animals and humans. Secondly, our increasing influence on nature leads to a rethinking of the old distinction between individual animal ethics and collectivist environmental ethics. Thirdly, ongoing urbanization and destruction of animal habitats leads to a blurring between the categories of wild and domesticated animals. Finally, globalization and global climate change have led to the fragmentation of natural habitats, blurring the old distinction between in situ and ex situ conservation. In this book, researchers at the cutting edge of their fields systematically examine the broad field of human-animal relations, dealing with wild, liminal, and domestic animals, with conservation, and zoos, and with technologies such as biomimicry. This book is timely in that it explores the new directions in which our thinking about the human-animal relationship are developing. While the target audience primarily consists of animal studies scholars, coming from a wide range of disciplines including philosophy, sociology, psychology, ethology, literature, and film studies, many of the topics that are discussed have relevance beyond a purely theoretical one; as such the book also aims to inspire for example biologists, conservationists, and zoo keepers to reflect on their relationship with animals.

A science writer and recreational runner explores the science behind popularly held beliefs about shoes, injuries, nutrition, "runner's high," and more. Conventional wisdom about running is passed down like folklore (and sometimes contradicts itself): the right kind of shoe prevents injury--or running barefoot, like our prehistoric ancestors, is best; eat a high-fat diet--and also carbo load before a race; running cures depression--but it might be addictive; running can save your life--although it can also destroy your knee cartilage. Often it's hard to know what to believe. In Running Smart, Mariska van Sprundel, a science journalist and recreational runner who has had her fair share of injuries, sets out to explore the science behind such claims. In her quest, van Sprundel reviews the latest developments in sports science, consults with a variety of experts, and visits a sports lab to have her running technique analyzed. She learns, among other things, that according to evolutionary biology, humans are perfectly adapted to running long distances (even if our hunter-gatherer forebears suffered plenty of injuries); that running sets off a shockwave that spreads from foot to head, which may or may not be absorbed by cushioned shoes; and that a good sports bra controls the ping pong-like movements of a female runner's breasts. She explains how the body burns fuel, the best foods to eat before and after running, and what might cause "runner's high." More than fifty million Americans are runners (and a slight majority of them are women). This engaging and enlightening book will help both novice and seasoned runners run their smartest.

In the past 30 years, technology has caused waves of disruptive developments, each crashing onto society and business alike. With the tide building and the pace accelerating, the next wave promises to come in big. These new challenges have a societal and environmental impact, are systemic and increasingly complex. Our old ways of doing business don’t suffice anymore. Furthermore, the future is too fast and too complex to go at it alone. In the future, competition will happen on the level of ecosystems, not just on the level of companies, products or services. This book gives companies the tools to build mutually beneficial, equal and sincere partnerships. We call them metasystems. And we believe them to be the most suitable armor for the next decade. Metasystems are built on trust and purpose. The biggest challenge is how to leverage the soft side, the human factor again. “It’s a pivotal time, both exciting and frightening. By joining forces, we believe businesses can accelerate, innovate and create a desirable future horizon.” - Dado Van Peteghem “The war of all against all has ended. It’s time to reinstate the essence of business: collaborating to fuel progress and a prosperous future.” - Nils van Dam ABOUT THE AUTHORS Dado Van Peterghem - Dado is a founding partner at the transformation advisory firm Scopernia, and co-founder of startups Social Seeder and Speakersbase, giving more than 100 speeches a year on topics as digital transformation, innovation and ecosystem thinking.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The acclaimed author of Founding Gardeners reveals the forgotten life of Alexander von Humboldt, the visionary German naturalist whose ideas changed the way we see the natural world—and in the process created modern environmentalism. "Vivid and exciting.... Wulf’s pulsating account brings this dazzling figure back into a dazzling, much-deserved focus.” —The Boston Globe Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was the most famous scientist of his age, a visionary German naturalist and polymath whose discoveries forever changed the way we understand the natural world. Among his most revolutionary ideas was a radical conception of nature as a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. In North America, Humboldt’s name still graces towns, counties, parks, bays, lakes, mountains, and a river. And yet the man has been all but forgotten. In this illuminating biography, Andrea Wulf brings Humboldt’s extraordinary life back into focus: his prediction of human-induced climate change; his daring expeditions to the highest peaks of South America and to the anthrax-infected steppes of Siberia; his relationships with iconic figures, including Simón Bolívar and Thomas Jefferson; and the lasting influence of his writings on Darwin, Wordsworth, Goethe, Muir, Thoreau, and many others. Brilliantly researched and stunningly written, The Invention of Nature reveals the myriad ways in which Humboldt’s ideas form the foundation of modern environmentalism—and reminds us why they are as prescient and vital as ever.

Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was een moedige ontdekkingsreiziger en de bekendste wetenschapper van zijn tijd. Hij had een grote honger naar avontuur en ontdekkingen, hij beklom de hoogste vulkaan ter wereld, reisde door Siberië, waar de bevolking aan miltvuur leed, en deed onderzoek in de meest afgelegen gebieden. Met zijn ideeën was hij zijn tijd ver vooruit. Andrea Wulf beschrijft zijn gedurfde expedities en geeft op toegankelijke wijze inzicht in zijn baanbrekende onderzoek naar de vorming van het landschap op verschillende continenten. Humboldt wist toen al dat menselijk ingrijpen effect heeft op het klimaat. Zijn gedachten werden aangescherpt door zijn vriendschappelijke relaties met Goethe en Jefferson, en vormden een inspiratiebron voor grootheden uit diverse disciplines, onder wie Darwin, Bolívar, Wordsworth en Thoreau.

In de hedendaagse duurzaamheidsdiscussie gaat het veel over Sustainable Development Goals, ‘People, Planet, Prosperity’ en klimaat en CO2-reductie, maar weinig over hoe je duurzaamheid zelf duurzaam maakt, dat wil zeggen blijvend verankerd in het gedrag van mensen. Uitgangspunt van deze bundel, die zich vooral richt op ecologische ethiek en morele motivatie, is dat de individuele mens de komende jaren een omslag gaat maken ‘from satisfactions to value’, van het nalopen van eigenbelang naar de inzet voor zaken van gedeelde waarde. Deze ethische omslag, die begint met de vraag ‘waar ben ik nu helemaal mee bezig?’, kan op diverse manieren plaatsvinden: van binnenuit (inzicht en overtuiging), van buitenaf (incentive en ontmoeting), of van bovenaf (ingeving en openbaring). Maar hoe voltrekt zich deze omslag nu werkelijk? Kun je organiseren dat hij zich voltrekt? Kunnen mensen bewogen worden tot een morele omkeer naar belangen van waarde? In deze bundel komen zaken aan de orde als de relatie tussen waarden en gedrag, de kracht van motivatie en emoties, het belang van bewustzijn en verantwoordelijkheid, de waarde van beleving en lichamelijkheid, de plaats van mysterie en contemplatie, en het voorbeeld van verhalen en de natuur. Daarbij gaat het uiteindelijk om de vraag hoe mensen bevrediging vinden in echte betrokkenheid en vruchtbaar ethisch handelen.
