Wonderful Book of Death: Why do we die? Did you know that some jellyfish can return to their youth and thus renew their life cycle? And that there are dogs that can sense the smell of death? Or that there are species that reproduce only once in their lifetime and then die? Various facts about death from traditions and beliefs to epidemics and diseases.

Wonderful Book of Life: Under what conditions does life arise? Do you know that a sea turtle buries its eggs on the very beach where it was born? That a starfish can grow a new organism from a severed limb? Or that the seeds of many plants are carried by the wind? Birth can be bright and tumultuous. Or quiet and unnoticed. There are no rules here — only endless diversity, which is managed with incredible skill and patience by nature.

Birth initiates the cycle of life: it is the opposite of death and one of the most exciting phenomena in nature. Upon coming into the world, each new and unique creation performs a feat. This feat — is life.
