World-renowned canopy biologist Nalini Nadkarni has climbed trees
on four continents with scientists, students, artists, clergymen,
musicians, activists, loggers, legislators, and Inuits, gathering
diverse perspectives. In "Between Earth and Sky, "a rich tapestry
of personal stories, information, art, and photography, she becomes
our captivating guide to the leafy wilderness above our heads.
Through her luminous narrative, we embark on a multifaceted
exploration of trees that illuminates the profound connections we
have with them, the dazzling array of goods and services they
provide, and the powerful lessons they hold for us. Nadkarni
describes trees' intricate root systems, their highly evolved and
still not completely understood canopies, their role in commerce
and medicine, their existence in city centers and in extreme
habitats of mountaintops and deserts, and their important place in
folklore and the arts. She explains tree fundamentals and considers
the symbolic role they have assumed in culture and religion. In a
book that reawakens our sense of wonder at the fascinating world of
trees, we ultimately find entry to the entire natural world and
rediscover our own place in it.
Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Jessica Redland and Kate Forster.
Do you believe in Christmas miracles? Holly is looking for a
change. There has to be more to life than the long hours she works
as an editor in New York City, despite what everyone says. What she
doesn't expect when she leaves the city behind is to meet Mitch, a
recluse who's hiding more than she realises. Mitch spends his days
hidden away in a little log cabin in Inglenook Falls, where he owns
a Christmas tree farm. He speaks to people only when necessary, so
when Holly falls into his life, he's not sure how to react. All he
knows is that something needs to change if he wants to get his life
back on track. Along with friends Cleo and Darcy, Holly is
determined to bring joy back to Mitch's life, but will he
appreciate their interference? And when a business proposition
throws everything up in the air, will it do more harm than good?
Curl up this festive season in a snow-covered log cabin surrounded
by Christmas trees and find out whether miracles and second chances
really do happen. *Please note this is a re-release of Christmas
