Caduto. La seconda vita degli alberi is an illustrated book dedicated to the wonders of the forest and
to biodiversity. What happens when a tree falls in the forest? It certainly doesn’t go to waste: on the
contrary, this dead wood becomes a source of life and a remarkable process of regeneration.
Discover with us the answers to these many questions:
What exactly is a fungus? What is the diference between a snail and a slug?
Why do blackbirds that live in the forest have longer beaks than those that live in the city?
Which animal has such an insatiable appetite that it eats as much food as it weighs every day?

What do the Arctic fox and the stonefish have in common? And the ostrich and the elephant seal?
Science has always classified animals using a rigid and complex system. But what would happen if
we used a diferent criterion, one that is immediately understandable, bringing together species
that are very distant from one another but share a significant characteristic? The result would be
imaginative yet well-reasoned categories, ironic yet accurate, revealing extraordinary creatures;
animals that are beautiful! A book with 19 categories of animals, all diferent from one another, but
sharing an important trait that makes them much more alike than they seem: those with hair, those
that fly but are not birds, those that live longer than humans, those with spines, those that sleep a
lot… An informative picture book that combines curious and unusual facts about the animal world
with breathtaking illustrations.

Life begins when something goes CRACK. Everything, at some point, breaks. From stars that
explode in the darkness of space, to the Earth, which is constantly transforming: from fungi that
quietly work underground to the fragments of the world that we call food. The story of the
universe, and that of each one of us, is the story of a series of cracks: because without destruction,
nothing new can be created.
