The Songs Of Trees
The author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Forest Unseen visits with nature's most magnificent networkers -- trees
"Both a love song to trees, an exploration of their biology, and a wonderfully philosophical analysis of their role they play in human history and in modern culture." - Science Friday
WINNER OF THE 2018 JOHN BURROUGHS MEDAL FOR OUTSTANDING NATURAL HISTORY WRITING David Haskell has won acclaim for eloquent writing and deep engagement with the natural world. Now, he brings his powers of observation to the biological networks that surround all species, including humans. Haskell repeatedly visits a dozen trees, exploring connections with people, microbes, fungi, and other plants and animals. He takes us to trees in cities (from Manhattan to Jerusalem), forests (Amazonian, North American, and boreal) and areas on the front lines of environmental change (eroding coastlines, burned mountainsides, and war zones.) In each place he shows how human history, ecology, and well-being are intimately intertwined with the lives of trees. Scientific, lyrical, and contemplative, Haskell reveals the biological connections that underpin all life. In a world beset by barriers, he reminds us that life's substance and beauty emerge from relationship and interdependence.

A növények szerelmi élete
Zöld szerelem
A növények szerelmi élete legalább olyan izgalmas, mint az állatoké vagy az emberé. Ez ma már magától értetődő tény, de a 17. század végéig nem volt ez így. Mind az egyház, mind a tudósok ellenálltak még a kérdés felvetésének is.
A könyv rendkívül izgalmas kultúrtörténeti kalandozás a növények titokzatos szerelmi életében, megismerteti velünk, miért volt a növények szűziessége az ókortól kezdve megkérdőjelezhetetlen, és hogyan fedezte fel a tudomány, hogy igenis létezik szexualitás a növényvilágban.
Permakulturní farma
Permakulturu – metody udržitelného designu a spolupráce s přírodou – lze aplikovat nejen na zahrádky, ale stejně dobře i na rozsáhlé farmy a na celé oblasti krajiny. Oproti biozemědělství se pracuje mnohem víc s vytrvalými porosty, hlavně se dřevinami, do koloběhů na pozemku se zapojují zvířata, ponechávají se nebo se i vytvářejí partie blízké divočině, pečuje se o zadržování vody. Pokud je taková farma dobře založená, po čase není k její údržbě třeba mnoho práce. Ale dokáže se z ní farmář uživit? A jak na to?
Příručka přináší podrobné seznámení s metodami permakulturního farmaření a řadu inspirativních příkladů farem z České republiky i ze světa.

The Gardener and the Carpenter
Selected as a Book of the Year by the Financial Times
'The Gardener and the Carpenter should be required reading for anyone who is, or is thinking of becoming a parent' Financial Times
Caring deeply about our children is part of what makes us human. Yet the thing we call 'parenting' is a surprisingly new invention. In the past thirty years, the concept of parenting and the huge industry surrounding it have transformed childcare into obsessive, controlling, and goal-orientated labour intended to create a particular kind of child, and therefore a particular kind of adult.
Drawing on the study of human evolution and her own cutting-edge scientific research into how children learn, Gopnik shows that although caring for children is profoundly important, it is not a matter of shaping them to turn out a particular way. Children are designed to be messy and unpredictable, playful and imaginative, and to be very different both from their parents and from each other. The variability and flexibility of childhood lets them innovate, create, and survive in an unpredictable world. 'Parenting' won't make children learn - but caring parents let children learn by creating a secure, loving environment.
In The Gardener and the Carpenter, the pioneering developmental psychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik argues that the familiar twenty-first-century picture of parenting is profoundly wrong - it's not just based on bad science, it's bad for children and their parents too.

Botanical Sketchbooks
While highly finished drawings and paintings frequently feature in histories of botanical art, the preparatory sketches, first impressions and creative thoughts on paper behind them are rarely seen and have often remained hidden and locked away. Botanical Sketchbooks brings these personal and vividly spontaneous records gloriously back into the light. In a series of biographical portraits organized thematically into four sections, the book illuminates a range of intriguing characters, from many different countries and cultures, including Germany, France, Italy, America, Australia, Japan and China. Sketchbooks proper are joined by notebooks, journals, albums, loose pieces of paper, works on vellum, manuscripts, letters, herbarium sheets and marginalia - even one drawing on the back of an envelope. Turning the pages of this book will be an invitation to relive extraordinary experiences, imagine lost worlds, and be immersed in the endeavours, observations and motivations of the makers of such beautiful and enchanting art.
