Die Wiese

With extensive colorful illustrations. Tickling grasses, bright flowers, buzzing insects: This is what a summer meadow feels like. Jan Haft takes us on a journey of discovery into a true natural paradise, where hundreds of colorful plants and bizarre animals live, many of whose natural histories have yet to be properly researched. Nowhere else do more species of insects exist, and nowhere else is there such a display of colors. At the same time, no native habitat is as threatened: About a third of our country was once covered with blooming meadows. Today, only a pitiful two percent remains. The book, illustrated with numerous photos, ignites enthusiasm for this diverse and vibrant habitat and serves as a call to save the last flower meadows. It is produced according to the highest ecological standards (Cradle to Cradle) and is not shrink-wrapped in plastic.
