Silent Spring
Vor ein paar Tagen bin ich von einer Reise nach Bosnien-Herzegowina und Kroatien zurückgekommen. Ich verbinde viele Erinnerungen an diese Länder. Mein Vater ist Banatdeutscher, und in meiner Kindheit waren wir jeden Sommer da. Mein Vater liebte den Balkan, konnte dort serbo-kroatisch (sagt man heute nicht mehr) sprechen.
In 10 Tagen habe ich dort eine einzige Eidechse gesehen. Früher huschten sie bei Schritt und Tritt über die Steine, überall raschelte es. Wenn man sich hinsetzen wollte, musste man immer sehr aufpassen, weil es von Ameisen wimmelte. Unter den Pinien und Zypressen schrillten die Zikaden manchmal ohrenbetäubend.
Am letzten Tag der Reise saß ich für einen Nachmittag im Schatten der Pinien auf der Insel Lokrum, vor Dubrovnik. Keine Eidechse, keine Ameisen, keine Zikade. Nur ein einsamer Käfer und die Schreie der Inselpfauen.
Die Stille war bedrückend. Geräusche sind so eng mit Orten und Erinnerungen verbunden ... diesmal war es fast wie in einem Stummfilm..
Meine kurze Recherche hat den Einbruch der Tierpopulationen an der Adria leider bestätigt.

Ann and John in the library – an illustration from Busy Bee and the Silent Spring

Busy Bee is a story about some clever bees who discover a farmer using illegal pesticides but how can they stop him?

In this illustration John, the local reporter, goes to the library where he meets the librarian Ann to find out more about the strange goings on. This story is written for the 8-12 year old reader but a number of adults have also enjoyed reading it.

Some teachers thought that there is enough in the story to form the basis for a whole curriculum of outdoor and nature learning and all wrapped up in a story, children will love. The thing they liked best is the multitude of topics covered, all which are such important starting points for vital conversations with young people. The book has also been well received with the Scottish Beekeepers Association putting a copy of it along with the first book, Busy Bee and the Endangered Meadow, in their Edinburgh library.

The story is available as an ebook or in printed form globally on different Amazon websites and here are a couple of links https://www.amazon.co.uk/Busy-Silent-Spring-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/B088JFN1ZV/ and https://www.amazon.com/Busy-Silent-Spring-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/B088JFN1ZV/.

There are also T-shirts and long sleeve T-shirts available for children of the wonderful cover artwork by Alice Wright with or without the book title, https://scientistandphilosopher.com/collection/kids/.

In the library – an illustration from Busy Bee and the Silent Spring

In this illustration from Busy Bee and the Silent Spring, named after Rachel Carson’s ground breaking book, the bees have broken into the village library. They didn’t actually break in because a small window was left open and they went to look up the meaning of the words that they had seen on the containers they found in the dark barn. A complicated story perhaps? The story is written for the 8-12 year old reader but a number of adults have also enjoyed reading it.

We are fortunate out in the wilds of the Welsh Marches that we still hear the cuckoo, but i wonder how many people still hear this most iconic sound of spring.
I guess there are many youngsters who have never heard the cuckoo. To me this is sad beyond words.
