NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The New Yorker’s Best Books of 2024 TIME’s 10 Best Nonfiction Books of 2024 New York Magazine’s 10 Best Books of the Year Washington Post’s 50 Notable Works of Nonfiction of 2024 Smithsonian’s 10 Best Science Books of the Year A Best Book of the Year: Boston Globe, Scientific American, New York Public Library, Christian Science Monitor, Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly An Amazon Best Nonfiction Book of the Year Longlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Nonfiction Prize Finalist for the Chautauqua Prize Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize Winner of the National Outdoor Book Award for Natural History “A masterpiece of science writing.” —Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass “Mesmerizing; world-expanding, and achingly beautiful.” —Ed Yong, author of An Immense World “Rich; vital, and full of surprises. Read it!” — Elizabeth Kolbert, author of Under a White Sky and The Sixth Extinction Award-winning Atlantic staff writer Zoë Schlanger delivers a groundbreaking work of natural history and popular science that probes the hidden world of the plant kingdom, “destabilizing not just how we see the green things of the world but also our place in the hierarchy of beings, and maybe the notion of that hierarchy itself.” (The New Yorker) It takes tremendous biological creativity to be a plant. To survive and thrive while rooted in a single spot, plants have adapted ingenious methods of survival. In recent years, scientists have learned about their ability to communicate, recognize their kin and behave socially, hear sounds, morph their bodies to blend into their surroundings, store useful memories that inform their life cycle, and trick animals into behaving to their benefit—a fascinating display of plant behavior and sensory abilities, to name just a few remarkable talents. The Light Eaters is a deep immersion into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency, consciousness, and intelligence. In this captivating exploration of plant intelligence, we see that plants, rather than imitate human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel system. What is intelligent life if not a vine that grows leaves to blend into the shrub on which it climbs, a flower that shapes its bloom to fit exactly the beak of its pollinator, a pea seedling that can hear water flowing and make its way toward it? Zoë Schlanger takes us across the globe, digging into her own memories and into the soil with the scientists who have spent their waking days studying these amazing entities up close. What can we learn about life on Earth from the living things that thrive, adapt, consume, and accommodate simultaneously? More important, what do we owe these life forms once we come to understand their rich and varied abilities? Examining the latest epiphanies in botanical research, Schlanger spotlights the intellectual struggles among the researchers conceiving a wholly new view of their subject, offering a glimpse of a field in turmoil as plant scientists debate the tenets of ongoing discoveries and how insights into plant communication influence our understanding of what a plant is. We need plants to survive. But what do they need us for—if at all? An eye-opening and informative look at the ecosystem we live in, this book challenges us to rethink the role of plants—and our own place—in the natural world, tackling the enthralling question of plant consciousness along the way.

Nahrungsergänzungsmittel sind kein Ersatz für eine ausgewogene und abwechslungsreiche Ernährung und eine gesunde Lebensweise.Set enthält2x VITAMIN A+E HEVERT VITAL 60 StNahrungsergänzungsmittel sind kein Ersatz für eine abwechslungsreiche und ausgewogene Ernährung und eine gesunde Lebensweise.VITAMIN A+E HEVERT VITALVitamin A (Retinol) ist aufgrund seiner Bedeutung für die Funktion der Augen auch als Augenvitamin bekannt. Vor allem Menschen, die viel vor dem Bildschirm arbeiten oder ihre Augen besonders beanspruchen, sollten ihren Vitamin A-Bedarf ausreichend decken. Ohne ausreichend Vitamin A im Körper wird nicht genügend Augenfarbstoff gebildet und Betroffene riskieren, nachtblind zu werden. Neben Nachtblindheit deuten auch Symptome wie trockene Augen, Antriebslosigkeit, Infektanfälligkeit, trockene Haut, Haarausfall oder längsgerillte Nägel auf eine Unterversorgung oder einen Vitamin A-Mangel hin. Neben seiner Funktion als Augenvitamin spielt Vitamin A eine Rolle bei der Regulierung zahlreicher Stoffwechselprozesse. Unser Körper kann das lebenswichtige Vitamin nicht selbst herstellen. Es muss deshalb über die Nahrung aufgenommen werden. Vitamin A ist in Obst und Gemüse zu finden, die Beta- Carotin enthalten. Am bekanntesten ist sicherlich die Karotte, die allgemein mit guter Sehkraft in Verbindung gebracht wird. Beta- Carotin kann vom Körper in Vitamin A umgewandelt werden. Weitere Lebensmittel, die Vitamin A enthalten, sind Fisch, Leber, rotes Fleisch, Milchprodukte, Eigelb und Butter. Vitamin E (Tocopherol) gehört zu den wichtigsten Antioxidantien. Aufgrund von chronischem Stress, Alkoholkonsum, intensivem Sport oder auch Umwelteinflüssen wie Abgasen entstehen im Körper täglich sogenannte freie Radikale". Diese setzen unseren Körperzellen oxidativem Stress aus. Bei freien Radikalen“ handelt es sich um aggressive Sauerstoffverbindungen, die Krankheiten und vorzeitige Alterungsprozesse auslösen können. Durch Antioxidantien wie Vitamin E können diese freien Radikale“ neutralisiert werden. Bei einem Vitamin E-Mangel kann es zu Müdigkeit, Muskelschwäche, Zittern und sogar Netzhauterkrankungen kommen. Eine Unterversorgung mit Vitamin E kann zum Beispiel bei einer streng fettarmen Diät, Leistungssport oder Stress auftreten. Auch eine Glutenunverträglichkeit oder Darmerkrankung kann zu Problemen bei der Aufnahme von Vitamin E führen. Da unser Körper Vitamin E genau wie Vitamin A nicht selbst herstellen kann, muss auch dieses essentielle Vitamin über Lebensmittel aufgenommen werden. Pflanzliche Öle wie Weizenkeimöl, Rapsöl oder Sonnenblumenöl oder Nüsse wie Erdnüsse, Haselnüsse und Mandeln enthalten besonders viel Vitamin E.Zutaten:Vitamin E, Füllstoff mikrokristalline Cellulose, Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, Vitamin A, Pflanzenöl (Kokosnuss, Rapssaat).Nährwerte: Durchschnittliche Nährwerte: pro 1 Kapsel NRV* Vitamin A 800 µg RE (2666 IE) 100 Vitamin E 67 mg a-TE (100 IE) 558 *Referenzmenge nach Lebensmittelinformationsverordnung Verzehrempfehlung: Erwachsene und Jugendliche ab 15 Jahren schlucken 1 Kapsel täglich mit ausreichend Flüssigkeit zu einer Mahlzeit.Hinweis:Die angegebene empfohlene Tagesmenge darf nicht überschritten werden.

PRAISE FOR THE MOUNTAIN BY PAUL YOON "Believe me: This is a genuine work of art, a shadowland of survivors that is tough and elegant and true. And beautiful." —The Boston Globe “ The Mountain is quiet, restrained and howling beneath the surface...a fantastic collection." —The LA Times "In tales that leap across the globe, from upstate New york to Russia, characters grapple with the legacy of violence in their lives." —New York Times Book Review "Reading The Mountain is like admiring a glowing sunset before realizing that what you're really watching is a wildfire heading your way....his sentences read like Hemingway stripped of his machismo... The Mountain is remarkable...as close as the short story can get to poetry without losing its grip on plot..." —The Star Tribune “Yoon proves himself a literary alchemist, transforming tragedy into beauty with deft reminders of our universal connections… Joining such luminaries as Jhumpa Lahiri, Junot Díaz, and Alice Munro, Yoon has undoubtedly earned membership in the exclusive coterie of today's finest writers of the short form.” —Library Journal (starred review) "Despite his literary austerity, Yoon's dazzling use of wordplay, pacing, and the quiet authenticity of his characters to instill emotion in his audience makes him one of the most evocative writers working today. Six little mysteries that quietly capture the breadth of the human experience." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "These stories span multiple continents and time periods to arrive at human truths about how greatly our lives are affected and influenced by our shared histories....Yoon expertly interrogates the meaning of nationhood and the universality of the migrant experience. Most often the stories are structured as montages of inner experience; moments of connection are the sparks that ignite these otherwise meditative, reflective narratives. The result is a spectacular display of intelligence and feeling. " —Publisher's Weekly (starred review) "Both careful and confident, The Mountain shows that a classic approach to a classic form can still feel vital and relevant when in the hands of a perfectionist like Paul Yoon." —GQ “Elegant; luminous…A heartbreaking yet beautiful rumination on tragedy, loneliness, grief, and displacement." —Buzzfeed "Radiant...Yoon uses precise, measured prose to create atmospheric narratives that lack neat resolutions. The Mountain’s overall mood is one of wistfulness—a feeling that stays with the reader after the final page has been turned." —Bookpage "The six stories in Paul Yoon's ( Snow Hunters) second collection, The Mountain, are almost shocking in their simplicity. Possessing a fable-like sensibility, each one is a quietly elegant examination of how survivors of various sorts carry on in the face of profound loss. Yoon's strikingly uninflected prose heightens both the tension and the resonance of these tales…It's impossible to separate the content of these stories from the daringly unembellished quality of Yoon's writing, where omission often feels as meaningful as the words on the page…Yoon's unadorned prose is of a piece with the fragility of these delicate stories. Individually and collectively they comprise an exquisite and memorable work of art.” —Shelf Awareness “ The Mountain is atmospherically so compelling, and describes so movingly the loneliness and courage of these characters. Paul Yoon mines the interstices of our experience—it’s full of pregnant spaces—we are haunted by all that isn’t said. This is the voice with which we speak to ourselves when no one is listening. The book is profound, in the way that W.G. Sebald’s work is—like him, Yoon’s voice is quiet and sincere and urgent—and that’s what makes the collection so powerful, and what ties the collection together. The characters are disconnected, yet we feel deeply connected to them. It’s mysterious and elusive and distinctive, a brilliant collection of stories, and a unified work of art.” —Daniyal Mueenuddin, author o
