A celebration of the world's most charismatic flower

Over 4 Billion Years in the Making

Earth

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.

'An excellent, beautifully written book' Patrick Galbraith, Sunday Times 'A rich and hugely enjoyable celebration of the local, the vernacular and traditional ... a beautifully written craftsman's memoir' Daily MailThatched roofs are like living organisms: each one a web of repair, replacement and alteration, shaped, dressed and re-moulded by every pair of hands that works on it. Thatching is one of the world's oldest crafts - an ancient trade that roots us in nature, as Tom Allen discovered when he quit an office job to become an apprentice in Devon. Now a master of the trade, in On the Roof he goes in search of its history and future, meeting fellow thatchers, from the son of a lobster fisherman who thatches with a dune grass in the Hebrides, to a Syrian refugee who found peace among the seagrass roofs of Denmark, to one of the first women to master Japan's 5,000-year-old thatching tradition. Eye-opening, beautifully told and revealing a tradition hand-shaped over centuries, On the Roof is a story of how we live with the land and how we have chosen to treat it.

4,101 Ways Nature Makes Us Smile

Our estate was built on land claimed from fields - we were at the foot of those rolling Kilpatrick hills, but over the roof of the school you could see more green fields and woods. I felt grateful to be on the edge of all that countryside - there was a magnetic pull towards what I thought that wild was, or could be. 'One day, I'm going to walk to those hills and woods,' I'd think to myself. Soon, it would become a sanctuary. Gordon Buchanan is probably the best known natural history cameraman the BBC has ever produced. From wild 'snow wolf' packs in Ellesmere and polar bears in Svalbard to leopards in Mumbai and equine therapy in Mongolia, he has filmed in the world's most far-reaching places for over 30 years. His dedication to his craft means he often spends weeks inside a cramped camera hide, tolerating extreme sleep deprivation and poor living conditions, all in search of that one extraordinary shot. But dangerous animals were not the only thing he was hiding from. In the Hide is Gordon's emotionally honest and raw account of a brutal childhood in Glasgow and Mull, and the escape and solace he found - and continues to find - in the natural world around him. An intimate and inspiring account of resilience in the face of hardship, In the Hide marks the arrival of a bold new voice in nature writing.

Our estate, Bellsmyre, was built on land claimed from fields – we were at the foot of those rolling Kilpatrick hills, but over the roof of the school you could see more green fields and woods. There was a physical barrier formed by the rest of the estate and the school, but I felt grateful to be on the edge of all that countryside. Even at a very young age, there was a magnetic pull towards what I thought that wild was, or could be. ‘One day, I’m going to walk to those hills and woods,’ I’d think to myself. Soon, it would become a sanctuary. Gordon Buchanan is probably the best known natural history cameraman the BBC has ever produced.

A Guide to the State's Best Sites

Rockhounding Washington

How should we raise our children in, and for, a world that is burning? Rachel Richardson's third collection, Smother, interrogates this impossible question. The poet, raising young daughters and grieving the death of a mother friend, documents a string of record-breaking fires across the California landscape and the rage, sorrow, and detachment that follow amidst the pervasive smoke. Environmental and physical predation-on the earth and on the female body-weave through the book in layers.
But these are not poems of giving up. The poems in Smother gather accomplices in grief and mothering, seek out guides and girlfriends, remember the dead, keep watch at the firebreaks, and plant new trees on the burn scars. From lyric forms to moments of prose and documentary collage, these poems sing their song of resistance made from the music that is available to us now.
"Within that vast
triangle, land that appears
to be hanging only by a flimsy hinge
to the continent, the burn scars
having leveled the grasses, having pushed
the elk elsewhere up the ragged edge
for reeds, the hearts of some downed trees
still smolder. This is what I go for. To walk inside it,
to know what remains of the kingdom."
-from "The Map Is Not The Territory"
