Constant Wonder
How to See Like a Naturalist (Without Leaving Home)
Thor Hanson reminds us that wonder isn’t reserved for far-off rainforests or remote islands—it can thrive right outside our door. From looking up to spot bald eagles to crawling on your hands and knees to find new insects, Hanson shares how attentiveness and curiosity can open up astonishing worlds. Join us as we explore how slowing down and observing carefully can awaken the same thrill of discovery felt by the greatest naturalists.

ACTO IX - Agricultura: O Desafio de Alimentar 11 Bilhões
Resumo: O mundo caminha para abrigar 11 bilhões de pessoas até o fim do século. Mas como alimentar essa população sem esgotar os recursos do planeta?

A jornada atravessa mercados superlotados, fazendas verticais, desertos convertidos em celeiros e lições ancestrais que a história insiste em repetir. Uma narrativa imersiva sobre escolhas, tecnologia, desperdício, e a urgência de reinventar o sistema alimentar global. Criação e Produção: Episódio escrito, narrado, gravado...

The Triumph of Seeds (Thor Hanson) Book Summary and Discussion
Thor Hanson's "The Triumph of Seeds" explores the multifaceted story of seeds, highlighting their crucial role in both the natural and human worlds. The book posits that seeds are remarkably successful, dominating landscapes and ecosystems from rainforests to tundra. Hanson defines seeds functionally, including any "seed-like part" that encompasses the baby plant.Seeds employ diverse strategies for survival. Dispersal is critical, with adaptations for travel via animals (endozoochory, like bats with almendro seeds), wind (Javan cucumber seeds inspiring the Stealth Bomber), and water (coconuts). Defense against predation is equally important, leading to physical defenses like...

Loving Bees
Bees stir each one of our senses — the zen-like hum, the sweet honey, the waxy smell of wildflowers mixed with hard work, the vibrant orange and black bodies attached to window-paned wings. If they land on us, and we are calm, say beekeepers, it will be a gentle touch; they will sting only to save their lives. Bees are endangered, but all over the world, people are stepping up to save them — in backyards, science labs, and the abandoned lots of urban Detroit. We explore the art to building a relationship with bees, and the science of how...

Martin Bandyke Under Covers for January 2019: Martin interviews Thor Hanson, author of Buzz: The Nature and Necessity of Bees.
From the publisher: Bees are like oxygen: ubiquitous, essential, and, for the most part, unseen. While we might overlook them, they lie at the heart of relationships that bind the human and natural worlds. In Buzz, Thor Hanson (the award-winning author of The Triumph of Seeds and Feathers) takes us on a journey that begins 125 million years ago, when a wasp first dared to feed pollen to its young. From honeybees and bumbles to lesser-known diggers, miners, leafcutters, and masons, bees have long been central to our harvests, our mythologies, and our very existence. They've given us sweetness and light...

People need bees. Since the first wasp got a taste for pollen 125 million years ago, bees and flowers have co-evolved in a way that brings almonds and apricots to our tables. But honeybees, as well as the less well known but equally critical miner, leafcutter, sweat and mason bees are in trouble, getting slammed by climate change, habitat loss and pesticide use. To figure out how to protect them, biologist Thor Hanson studies them.
