Winner of the 2022 Marsh Book of the Year Award A long-awaited
volume in the New Naturalist series examining the trees of Britain.
Trees are immensely valuable. They give shape to our lives with
wood, the material that makes our homes, our books, our belongings;
they nourish us with the air we breathe and the fruits we eat; and
they sustain us, with their shade and the comfort of their
presence. They are also fascinating - they are the biggest and
oldest living organisms on the planet and are essential components
of many of the landscapes of Britain. Trees have been vital in
determining the ecology of our planet as well as the development of
human cultures and communities, yet how much do we really
understand about them? How do trees live? How do they fit into
their environments? Why are they so important to ecosystems on
earth, and to us? And what does the future hold for trees? Can they
solve the problems of climate change by absorbing enough carbon
dioxide, and would we run out of oxygen if all the world's trees
disappeared? Do trees really talk to each other? There is much to
learn about these silent giants. Ecologist Peter Thomas explores
all these questions and many more, delving into the often hidden
life of trees, using examples from around the world, from common
trees to the unusual and bizarre. This comprehensive introduction
to all aspects of tree biology and ecology presents the latest
scientific and botanical discoveries and explores the wonders and
mysteries of trees.
Taking a functional rather than an ecosystem or a utilitarian
approach, Thomas and Packham provide a concise account of the
structure of woodlands and forests. Using examples from around the
world - from polar treelines to savannahs to tropical rain forests
- the authors explain the structure of the soil and the hidden
world of the roots; how the main groups of organisms which live
within them interact both positively and negatively. There is
particular emphasis on woodland and forest processes, especially
those involving the flow and cycling of nutrients, as well as the
dynamics of wooded areas, considering how and why they have changed
through geological time and continue to do so. This clear,
non-technical, 2007 text will be of interest to undergraduates,
foresters, ecologists and land managers.
The world's greatest business consultant takes the business book
down to a whole new level
Not to take anything away from E.F. Hutton, but when Stephen
Michael Peter Thomas(r) talks, people really listen. (Or at least
they turn their heads in his general direction). And what they hear
astounds them. The ideas are so simple. The wisdom so pure. And the
concepts as familiar as they are obvious. Stephen Michael Peter
Thomas is one of the rare thinkers who can make timeless
half-truths sound refreshingly new. (Or maybe it's just that he
charges so much that clients have deluded themselves to believe
that he is really onto something )
Packed with knowledge, insight, and sometimes even a kernel of
wisdom, The Book That's Sweeping America gives readers what Fortune
100 companies have paid millions for. Stephen Michael Peter
Thomas's every word mints a new batch of buzz phrases destined to
be bandied about everywhere. "Layered Niche Reengineering (LNR)"
"Shaker Benchmarking" "Open-Book Reading" We'd call it Stephen
Michael Peter Thomas-ese if his name wasn't so impressively
lengthy.
In The Book That's Sweeping America , Stephen Michael Peter Thomas
taps into his visionary gift to provide a road map of all the
latest concepts steering business around the world. Leadership.
Competition. Strategy. Wardrobe. Stephen Michael Peter Thomas
tackles each topic one by one. And The Book That's Sweeping America
comes with a bona fide guarantee--not a single idea is new or
different enough to challenge or make you feel uncomfortable.
Competing in business is tough enough these days without having to
worry about tackling new material.
* Fascinating case stories and interviews from the world's most
successful organizations (like all business books there will most
likely be cases from Xerox)
* Eye-catching photos, charts, and graphics that make even the most
obvious ideas easy to grasp
* Learning summaries, Q&As, and exercises to implement in the
odd chance that something new or original strikes you
STEPHEN MICHAEL PETER THOMAS (The Sphere of Influence, USA)
describes himself as "the most talked about and influential
business consultant the world has ever seen." The confidante of
CEOs and the darling of the academic set, he is never referred to
as "Steve."

John Muir wrote many wonderful books about his travels, but one
story-about his long walk from San Francisco to Yosemite-is one
book he did not author himself. In April 1868, a very young John
Muir stepped off a boat in San Francisco and inquired about the
quickest way out of town. "But where do you want to go?" was the
response, to which Muir replied, "Anywhere that is wild." Using
Muir's personal correspondence and published articles, Peter and
Donna Thomas have reconstructed the real story of Muir's literal
ramblings over California hills and through dales, with lofty
Sierra Nevada peaks, Englishmen, and bears mixed in for good
measure. The trip is illustrated by charming cut-paper
illustrations that take their inspiration from Muir's love of
nature. John Muir's story-telling is so compelling that even 150
years later, seeing the world through his eyes makes us want to
head out into the wild.
