Se relayant dans le cockpit monoplace de leur avion solaire, ils ont accompli un tour du monde sans une seule goutte de carburant. A travers 13 ans de collaboration, d'espoirs et de doutes, de succès et de revers, ils n'ont jamais cessé de croire en la force de leur rêve. Ce livre est leur histoire, une ode à l'esprit de pionnier et d'exploration. …

The 1930s still conjure painful images: the great want of the Depression, and overseas, the exuberant crowds motivated by self-appointed national saviors dressing up old hatreds as new ideas. But there was another story that embodied mankind in that decade. In the same year that both Adolf Hitler and Franklin D. Roosevelt came to power, the city of Chicago staged what was, up to that time, the most forward-looking international exhibition in history. The 1933 World's Fair looked to the future, unabashedly, as one full of glowing promise.

In March 2015, Solar Impulse II launched the greatest aviation undertaking of our time: to be the first solar-powered airplane to fly around the world. It was a feat 12 years in the making, and was anything but a sure bet. NOVA follows intrepid pilots Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg - two men bent on pushing the boundaries of human flight and proving renewable energy's potential. Along with a team of brilliant engineers, the two designed and built Solar Impulse from scratch - though top airplane manufacturers told them would be too big, too light, and impossible to control.

Il mare è un mistero. Ne abbiamo tracciato i confini, scandagliato le profondità, ma rimane l’ultima frontiera, che forse non attraverseremo mai. Narratore con Linneo nell’animo, instancabile indagatore del mondo naturale, Patrik Svensson ha raccolto in questo libro multiforme – romanzo d’avventura, memoir, indagine scientifica – storie di personaggi celebri e individui dimenticati che si sono consacrati al mito del mare, dai naviganti polinesiani che attraversarono in canoa l’Oceano Pacifico a Piccard e Walsh, che per primi osservarono il paesaggio alieno della fossa delle Marianne. La storia del mare è una storia di curiosità umana – come quella di Robert Dick, il fornaio-naturalista che nel 1863 trovò su una spiaggia scozzese un fossile vecchio di 385 milioni di anni e rivoluzionò la teoria evolutiva – e di bellezza, come ci insegna Rachel Carson, che al mare dedicò pagine memorabili e che grazie al mare conobbe l’amore di una vita..
