  The Sixth Extinction

  Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions of life on earth. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. Elizabeth Kolbert combines brilliant field reporting, the history of ideas and the work of geologists, botanists and marine biologists to tell the gripping stories of a dozen species - including the Panamanian golden frog and the Sumatran rhino - some already gone, others at the point of vanishing. The sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy and Elizabeth Kolbert's book urgently compels us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.

  Biodiversity: Bolinda Beginner Guides , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min

  Biologist John Spicer shows how closely our future is linked with that of biodiversity while navigating listeners through some key problems facing our planet, including mass extinctions, population explosions, habitat destruction, and pollution. Along the way, he provides valuable insight into the impact humans have had upon the earth and its inhabitants, whether efforts such as ecotourism really help, and how scientists and economists calculate the "value" of biodiversity.

  Earth Moved: On the Remarkable Achievements of Earthworms , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 362min

  They destroy plant diseases. They break down toxins. They plough the earth. They transform forests. They’ve survived two mass extinctions, including the one that wiped out the dinosaur. Not bad for a creature that’s deaf, blind, and spineless. Who knew that earthworms were one of our planet’s most important caretakers? Or that Charles Darwin devoted his last years to studying their remarkable achievements? Inspired by Darwin, Amy Stewart takes us on a subterranean adventure. Witty, offbeat, charming, and ever curious, she unearths the complex web of life beneath our feet and investigates the role earthworms play in cutting-edge science—from toxic cleanups to the study of regeneration. ungekürzt.

  God Answers Science: From Origin to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 451min

  This book demystifies the so-called God-Science debate. Driver takes on the big questions of our origin and existence while turning the assertion of the Bible’s incompatibility with science on its head, including an unprecedented scientific account of Genesis. Science is God’s witness as creator and affirms the Bible is the divine word of God. Direct answers to major scientific phenomena such as the Higgs field, general relativity, dark matter, dark energy, accelerating universe, flat universe, plate tectonics, mass extinctions, etc., contribute to the extraordinary evidence. This evidence affirms God as the first cause, fine-tuner, and designer of the universe. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Moon.
