What is nature? A mine to plunder for resources, a wilderness for vacation, a harmonious system that man should leave alone or the bird table outside the kitchen window?
In Det levande, Ann-Helen Meyer von Bremen and Gunnar Rundgren challenge our view of nature. They start from their own place on earth, the small upland farm Sunnansjö where they grow vegetables, look after their cows and plant trees. From there, the story takes us to the mammoth steppe in Siberia, Pablo Escobar's hippos in Colombia, the world's largest tree in California and exclusive salmon fishing in Vänern. With deep knowledge and wonder, they depict the conflicts and complicated cooperation that takes place in nature, where humans are one of many threads in the fabric of life. Therefore, it is not only necessary but also possible to recreate a sustainable relationship between us and all other living things.
"Starting in the author couple's small farm in Uppland, nature's conflicts and collaborations are depicted, often hidden from or provoked and misinterpreted by man. The fascination for knowledge and detail is bubbling" Expressen, Sven Olov Karlsson
"Anyone interested in man's relationship to nature, which everyone should be, will get something out of this book." Dagens Aren, Anna Froster
