Moon Beth: Oak

From Seed to Ancient Tree

The definitive story of cannabis, from its evolution and biological quirks to its role in human history &nbsp; In this entertaining natural history, Rob DeSalle provides a glimpse into the biological world through the lens of the marijuana plant. A close relative of hops with a surprising place in the botanical tree of life, cannabis has a unique life cycle, has evolved pathways for over four hundred compounds, and makes one thousand or so different chemicals that are stored in its tissues—some of which are the basis of its famed psychoactive properties. &nbsp; With his scientist’s perspective on this well-known and controversial plant, DeSalle considers taxonomy, systematics, evolution, human physiology and neurobiology, and cultural issues. He discusses the plant’s complicated reproductive strategies; considers ancient arthropod-cannabis associations from South Asia; and offers a nuanced cultural history that extends from the first evidence of smoking cannabis more than two thousand years ago to the current debates over legalization. Engaging and extensively researched, with illustrations by Patricia Wynne, this is a vital resource for cannabis enthusiasts and anyone curious about the science behind this infamous “weed.”

A Conservation Approach to Managing Backyards

Natural Habitats and Wildlife Gardening

For centuries, English country gentlemen had collected exotic pictures for their saloons and rare books for their libraries. By the end of the seventeenth century, they had begun to collect trees. Within the space of a few years, hundreds of new specimen trees enriched the British landscape, and demand was high for the most splendid imports: maples and tulip trees from the American colonies, cypresses and cedars from Europe and Lebanon, and oriental plane from Greece and Turkey, with its romantic associations with Plato's Academy. How did these extraordinary trees make their way to the gardens of Britain and Ireland? Who were the scholars and daredevils who combed the new and old worlds in search of green treasure? What crimes did they commit, and what price did they pay to bring the world's charismatic megaflora to the gardens of home? In this exuberant history, Thomas Pakenham reveals the marvellous tales of adventure, discovery, rivalry, and passion that created the modern British landscape.

Seaweeds - or marine algae - are one of the most diverse and dazzling organism groups on the planet. They have existed for over 1.6 billion years and survived every extinction event on the planet. Capable of thriving in some of the most extreme environments on earth, marine algae are found within in sea ice of the Arctic Ocean, as well as extreme acid, alkali and salt environments, and have been recorded at ocean depths of over 200m. Professor Juliet Brodie, internationally renowned expert on marine algae, reveals their beauty and complexity - showing how they are vital not only to our global ecosystems but to the future of the planet. Professor Brodie explains the evolutionary significance, symbiotic relationships and strange sex lives of these curious organisms, and profiles 45 different species from around the world - each chosen to reflect a unique or fascinating aspect of these extraordinary organisms.

Before you step into the jungle, there are a few things you need to know... Join scientist Dr Rosa Vasquez Espinoza as she uncovers one of the most unexplored regions on the planet. Growing up amid the landscape of Peru and the rainforest of the Amazon, Rosa's childhood was marked by the teachings of her grandmother. There, she was introduced to the world of traditional medicine and the rich biodiversity of the 'natural pharmacy' right outside her window. After training as a scientist, Rosa returned to the Amazon rainforest to explore its rich landscapes, and the waters teeming with life. As a leading biologist in her field, Rosa continues to explore the region through a unique blend of scientific inquiry and ancient insight from indigenous communities. In this debut, Rosa uncovers hidden insights of the Amazon through fascinating stories from her expeditions in the jungle. Each chapter opens with a natural remedy from her pharmacopeia - situating the reader in a specific region of the Amazon. Through her personal and engaging narrative, Rosa recounts stories from her and her team's journeys, and the many lessons they have learnt along the way. From the boiling river to the stingless bee, Rosa also shares fascinating discoveries of the unknown wonders of the Amazon - some of which will stretch beyond the realm of science to uncover the spirits of the rainforest. In this book, Rosa celebrates the richness of Amazonian culture, the wonders of biodiversity, and the enduring spiritual connections between humanity and the natural world.

Before you step into the jungle, there are a few things you need to know... Join scientist Dr Rosa Vasquez Espinoza as she uncovers one of the most unexplored regions on the planet. Dr Rosa is no stranger to the Amazon. Growing up with the rainforest as her back garden, she learnt the lessons of the rainforest from her grandmother, a native healer in natural medicine. She went on to pursue a classical education in science, gaining a PhD in the US, but has always been pulled back to the heart of the Amazon. As a leading biologist in her field, Rosa continues to explore the region through a unique blend of scientific inquiry and ancient insight. In this debut, you'll learn about Dr Rosa's journeys in the Amazon: her treacherous encounters with a boiling river, her conservation work with stingless bees, her experience of taking ayahuasca as a natural psychedelic - and all the amazing biodiversity of the rainforest. At the heart of Rosa's expedition is her passion to combine science with the indigenous knowledge of the Amazon. She shares her experience of learning from the indigenous communities that she visits, and shows what they have to teach us - stretching beyond the realm scientific knowledge. Here Rosa learns the most important lessons in how to reconnect to the natural world - and, in turn, will teach us to do the same. In this book, Rosa celebrates the richness of Amazonian culture, the wonders of biodiversity, and the enduring spiritual connections between humanity and the natural world.
