Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
A pioneering scientist writes of the fascinating ecological and pharmaceutical properties of trees, and how mother trees nourish younger trees and help them defend themselves – the inspiration for the documentary Call of the Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom of Trees Renowned scientist Diana Beresford-Kroeger presents an unforgettable and highly original work of natural history with The Global Forest. She explores the fascinating and largely untapped ecological and pharmaceutical properties of trees: leaves that can comb the air of particulate pollution, fatty acids in the nuts of hickory and walnut trees that promote brain development, the compound in the water ash that helps prevent cancer, aerosols in pine trees that calm nerves. In precise, imaginative, and poetic prose, she describes the complexity and beauty of forests, as well as the environmental dangers they face. The author's indisputable passion for her subject matter will inspire readers to look at trees, and at their own connection to the natural world, with newfound awe.

This book takes the reader on that journey to show them what's possible. And many are lost within the forest. This book will help them to re-find the path to their real home.We all know that our very reason for being is to accomplish this journey - from who we think we are, which we frequently allow to be heavily defined by past experience - to who we really are. Thus, each of us must pass through our individually, custom-tailored invisible forests, shedding our hard protective shells of delusion along the way, to return to and reunite with the source of existence.Christina Barnes has beautifully re-drawn and re-written the map for us, making it much easier to identify with and follow.

Forest Urbanisms
Author: Bruno De Meulder
Publisher: Leuven University Press
ISBN: 946270421X
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
A radical redefinition of how humanity occupies the earth — through forests, agriculture, and settlement — and rearticulates environmental stewardship by intertwining ecologies and urbanisms, this publication brings together essays by scholars in forestry, urbanism and other disciplines, designers, practitioners and policy makers. It explores the multifaceted notion of forest urbanisms, including a conceptual framing essay; contributions from the sciences such as bioscience engineering, architecture, urbanism and public policy; contemporary forest urbanism projects and explorative essays that make tangible an agenda for the 21st century. With descriptions of both built and non-built projects from around the globe, the essays show how such projects substantiate a radical shift in humankind’s occupation of the world, where ecologies and urbanisms converge and agriculture, forests, and settlements are integrated. Forest Urbanisms extends growing research on a new nature–culture relationship, the necessity for trees in cities, and a rebalancing of ecology and urbanism.

Grimenna
Author: N. K. Blazevic
Publisher: EDGE-Lite
ISBN: 1770531696
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
When Courage finds Hope… The Panderbank River divides a land in two. On the north lies the vast expanse of the wild and malevolent forest of Grimenna and to the south lies the realm of man. No one dares cross the river; only the wicked, the unclean, and the criminal are thrown back into what is known as the Wilderlands. Paiva Ibbie lives in the northernmost village as a sheepherder’s daughter. Raised in the old ways of worshiping the great forest, she is familiar with the dark creatures that stalk through the trees but she never imagined she would become the target of an ancient and powerful evil. When she is rescued by a strange Wilderman with a hidden past, she finds herself enmeshed in an age-old battle between the forgotten spirits who struggle for purchase in the world of men. A dark evil has set to roost in the lord’s keep, corrupting the land to feed off its growing despair, and it is only Paiva’s steadfast hope that can clear the veil of darkness from the hero’s mind so that he may take up the cause and fight for the sake of all that is good. Grimenna is a fantasy adventure that harkens back to fairy tales of old. In the best traditions of The Last Unicorn and Gail Carson Levine’s Ella Enchanted, Grimenna tells the story of a young woman brave enough to believe that she can make a difference even in the darkest of times.

Fred Forest's Utopia
Author: Michael F. Leruth
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262341220
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
“France's most famous unknown artist,” the innovative media provocateur Fred Forest, precursor of Eduardo Kac, Jodi, the Yes Men, RT Mark, and the Guerilla Girls. The innovative French media artist and prankster-provocateur Fred Forest first gained notoriety in 1972 when he inserted a small blank space in Le Monde, called it 150 cm2 of Newspaper (150 cm2 de papier journal), and invited readers to fill in the space with their own work and mail their efforts to him. In 1977, he satirized speculation in both the art and real estate markets by offering the first parcel of officially registered “artistic square meters” of undeveloped rural land for sale at an art auction. Although praised by leading media theorists—Vilém Flusser lauded Forest as “the artist who pokes holes in media”—Forest's work has been largely ignored by the canon-making authorities. Forest calls himself “France's most famous unknown artist.” In this book, Michael Leruth offers the first book-length consideration of this iconoclastic artist, examining Forest's work from the 1960s to the present. Leruth shows that Forest chooses alternative platforms (newspapers, mock commercial ventures, video-based interactive social interventions, media hacks and hybrids, and, more recently, the Internet) that are outside the exclusive precincts of the art world. A fierce critic of the French contemporary art establishment, Forest famously sued the Centre Pompidou in 1994 over its opaque acquisition practices. After making foundational contributions to Sociological Art in the 1970s and the Aesthetics of Communication in the 1980s, the pioneering Forest saw the Internet as another way for artists to bypass the art establishment in the 1990s. Arguing that there is a strong utopian quality in Forest's work, Leruth sees this utopianism not as naive or conventional but as a reverse utopianism: rather than envisioning an impossible ideal, Forest reenvisions and probes the quasi-utopia of our media-augented everyday reality. The interface is the symbolic threshold to be crossed with an open mind.
