An Atlantic BestsellerNew Brunswick is home to more than five
billion trees, many native to the Acadian forest and some exotics
introduced by settlers. For this new edition of The Great Trees of
New Brunswick (the first edition was published in 1987), forester
David Palmer and conservationist Tracy Glynn have prepared a book
that doubles as an informative guide to the province's native and
introduced species and a compendium of "champion" trees, drawn from
nominations from all corners of the province.Divided into sections
on hardwoods, softwoods, and exotics and lavishly illustrated with
full-colour photographs, The Great Trees of New Brunswick features
chapters on all thirty-two native species and nine introduced
species. Each chapter includes information on the tree's defining
features, habitat and uses, as well as photographs and a detailed
description of champion trees. Rounding out the book is an
introductory essay on the Acadian forest -- its history, survival,
and future.Whether you're an avid hiker, outdoors person, or simply
someone who wants to know more about the trees of the Acadian
forest, you'll find The Great Trees of New Brunswick to be an
essential reference to New Brunswick's forests and its panoply of
trees.Co-published with the Conservation Council of New Brunswick
Most conifer guides available for the Pacific Northwest focus on
native species observed in the wild. Native and Ornamental Conifers
in the Pacific Northwest presents an integrated perspective for
understanding and identifying conifers in any landscape where
native and ornamental species grow alongside each other. It is
suitable for landscape designers, horticulturalists, arborists,
gardeners, environmental scientists, and botanists. Based on her
experiences teaching workshops on conifer identification and
cultivation, Elizabeth Price has developed Jargon-free photographic
charts, which allow for side-by-side comparison of conifer features
and guide the reader to species identification. The charts are
detailed enough for specialists yet accessible to amateurs. The
book includes extensive material on the characteristics, botany,
and natural history of conifer plant families, genera, and species,
all illustrated with original photographs. Research across many
disciplines is blended with direct observation and personal
experience, creating a book that goes beyond identification and is
both rigorous and engaging.
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
Miracles at the Little Log Cabin, previously published by Helen J

Trees have inspired a very special magical alphabet and divinatory
system, Ogham. This beautiful and mysterious writing system is very
much a part of the world of the Celts. Its association with the God
Ogma points to its importance to the Celtic priesthood known as the
Druids and their nature wisdom, their ancient and magical
relationship with trees and with sacred groves. Woods have this
ability to rejuvenate and heal, to smooth away stress and anxiety,
and as you linger under the trees a dreamlike quality develops, and
you find your mind drifting in ways associated with the practice of
meditation, the brainwave patterns change, and the rhythms of your
body seem to slow and strengthen. Come with us for a walk in the
woods, explore the primeval forests of the mind, meet the beautiful
and magical trees of the world, and find out how they might
communicate their wisdom to us.
