Fotosachbilderbuch über die Körperfunktionen. (ab 6).

Focusing on the significance of the prairie biome, Richard Manning explores the historical and cultural connections between grasslands and humanity. He weaves the story of elk reclaiming ancestral plains with a critique of America's expansion and land management practices. Manning highlights efforts by botanists and biologists to restore native grasses, tracks the return of buffalo to the wild, and visits Ted Turner's ranch. This exploration reveals the importance of grasslands in understanding our natural heritage and offers insights into sustainable living in harmony with the land.

The scientific evidence behind why maintaining a lifestyle more like that of our ancestors will restore our health and well-being. In GO WILD, Harvard Medical School Professor John Ratey, MD, and journalist Richard Manning reveal that although civilization has rapidly evolved, our bodies have not kept pace. This mismatch affects every area of our lives, from our general physical health to our emotional wellbeing. Investigating the power of living according to our genes in the areas of diet, exercise, sleep, nature, mindfulness and more, GO WILD examines how tapping into our core DNA combats modern disease and psychological afflictions, from Autism and Depression to Diabetes and Heart Disease. By focusing on the ways of the past, it is possible to secure a healthier and happier future, and GO WILD will show you how.

Exploring the evolution of humanity, Manning presents a revisionist perspective that highlights the significance of our increased brain size and the subsequent need for nourishment. For 290,000 years, humans thrived as hunter-gatherers, a period he argues was our peak in intelligence and vitality. However, the allure of a stable food supply led to the agricultural revolution, marking a pivotal shift in human history that has shaped our civilization over the last 10,000 years.
