Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Tree explores the forms, uses, and alliances of this living object's entanglement with humanity, from antiquity to the present. Trees tower over us and yet fade into background. Their lifespan outstrips ours, and yet their wisdom remains inscrutable, treasured up in the heartwood. They serve us in many ways-as keel, lodgepole, and execution site-and yet to become human, we had to come down from their limbs. In this book Matthew Battles follows the tree's branches across art, poetry, and landscape, marking the edges of imagination with wildness and shadow. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

The American South is famous for its astonishingly rich biodiversity. In this book, Georgann Eubanks takes a wondrous trek from Alabama to North Carolina to search out native plants that are endangered and wavering on the edge of erasure. Even as she reveals the intricate beauty and biology of the South's plant life, she also shows how local development and global climate change are threatening many species, some of which have been graduated to the federal list of endangered species. Why should we care, Eubanks asks, about North Carolina's Yadkin River goldenrod, found only in one place on earth? Or the Alabama canebrake pitcher plant, a carnivorous marvel being decimated by criminal poaching and a booming black market? These plants, she argues, are important not only to the natural environment but also to southern identity, and she finds her inspiration in talking with the heroes-the botanists, advocates, and conservationists young and old-on a quest to save these green gifts of the South for future generations. These passionate plant lovers caution all of us not to take for granted the sensitive ecosystems that contribute to the region's long-standing appeal, beauty, and character.

In einer Zeitspanne von 15 Jahren hat sich die Spanplattenindustrie zum groessten Zweig der Holzindustrie entwickelt. In allen Erdteilen ent- stehen neue Spanplattenwerke. Die Kurve der Produktion zeigt noch keine Anzeichen fur eine Abflachung. Im Gebiet der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wurde im Jahr 1961 die Grenze von 1 Million Kubikmeter uberschritten, wobei die Tagesproduktion der grossen Werke um oder uber 400 Kubikmeter liegt. Die weitgehend automatisierten Maschinen- anlagen erfordern eine sorgfaltige Betriebsuberwachung, die an das Kontrollpersonal hohe Anspruche stellt. Da die Schwierigkeiten der Spanplattenherstellung haufig unter- schatzt werden, besteht die Gefahr, dass gut kontrollierte Qualitats- erzeugnisse durch minderwertige Platten in Misskredit kommen. Um ihr zu begegnen, wurde schon im Jahr 1956 mit dem Aufbau einer deut- schen Guteschutzorganisation begonnen. Die Grundlagen einer solchen Organisation sind Prufverfahren und Gutebedingungen, die in verhalt- nismassig kurzer Zeit in die Form von DIN-Normen gebracht werden mussten. Diese Vorarbeiten sind im wesentlichen im Forschungsinstitut fur Holzwerkstoffe und Holzleime in Karlsruhe ausgefuhrt worden. Wegen der gebotenen Eile haben die Forschungsergebnisse aber keinen Niederschlag in der Fachliteratur gefunden. Der Kreis der in der deut- schen Gutegemeinschaft Spanplatten zusammengeschlossenen Hersteller- werke nimmt rasch zu, so dass es erforderlich ist, die ganze Industrie mit diesen Arbeiten vertraut zu machen. Der Wunsch, die Vorarbeiten des Karlsruher Instituts mit einer Anleitung zum Aufbau der Betriebsuber- wachung abzuschliessen und diese in Buchform herauszugeben, ging vom Verband der deutschen Sperrholz-und Spanplattenindustrie aus (VDSS).
