Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook of locally based agricultural practices brings together the best of science and farmer experimentation, vividly illustrating the enormous diversity of shifting cultivation systems as well as the power of human ingenuity. Environmentalists have tended to disparage shifting cultivation (sometimes called 'swidden cultivation' or 'slash-and-burn agriculture') as unsustainable due to its supposed role in deforestation and land degradation. However, a growing body of evidence indicates that such indigenous practices, as they have evolved over time, can be highly adaptive to land and ecology. In contrast, 'scientific' agricultural solutions imposed from outside can be far more damaging to the environment. Moreover, these external solutions often fail to recognize the extent to which an agricultural system supports a way of life along with a society's food needs. They do not recognize the degree to which the sustainability of a culture is intimately associated with the sustainability and continuity of its agricultural system. Unprecedented in ambition and scope, Voices from the Forest focuses on successful agricultural strategies of upland farmers. More than 100 scholars from 19 countries--including agricultural economists, ecologists, and anthropologists--collaborated in the analysis of different fallow management typologies, working in conjunction with hundreds of indigenous farmers of different cultures and a broad range of climates, crops, and soil conditions. By sharing this knowledge--and combining it with new scientific and technical advances--the authors hope to make indigenous practices and experience more widely accessible and better understood, not only by researchers and development practitioners, but by other communities of farmers around the world.

Book excerpt: .".. book which explores the journey of celebrating the link between people and nature, the book reveals how plants, animals and landscapes are profoundly reflected in Xhosa language, stories, poetry, religious rituals, healing practices and everyday customs that define Xhosa culture. Over the years cultural and spiritual meaning of nature in South Africa has been poorly recorded and often misunderstood. The current trade of medicinal plants is often destructive and unsustainable with an estimated 27 million South Africans making use of indigenous medicines. This is a serious detriment as natural resources have been a reliant for underprivileged people who gain food, fuel, medicines, and building materials from wild plants. Therefore the addition of information on edible and medicinal plants is of extreme importance ... Voices from the Forest gives a fresh positive approach to biodiversity conservation in SA by showing that people\2019s values for natural resources can be considered positively as a way forward to continued sustainable use. The book explores the role that nature plays in the cultural and spiritual landscapes of the Xhosa people in the Eastern Cape of South Africa and serves as a pointer to sustainable practices in the future. The underlying aim is ultimately sustaining cultural heritage and conserving biodiversity because in our modernising world cultural diversity is threatened by the loss of natural diversity and finding ways of protecting the region's biodiversity and cultural diversity is of vital importance"--Publisher's website.

Book excerpt: In Preventing Aches and Pains from Computer Work, a guide for the layperson, Dr. Imrhan discusses the causes and consequences of computer work-related stresses and strains, and describes a variety of solutions to these problems. Dr. Imrhan answers questions about everything, from carpal tunnel syndrome to headaches, backaches, and eyestrain. While these topics are technical, this book is written in simple language, in a style that makes you feel as if you are reading a novel. Anyone who sits in front of a computer for hours must read this book. It can save you much suffering from work-related stress, many visits to the doctor, and many pain killers. This book is also a must for those who want to apply the science of ergonomics for improving productivity from computer work. The book deals mainly with three maladies: hand-wrist pains; lower back pains; and vision strain. Dr. Imrhan explains how these problems may be caused by the nature of your work, your furniture, your computer equipment, or lighting. He explains how what seems like small trivial discomfort can lead to chronic aches and pains; and you are taught how to evaluate your computer workstation: What should be the right height for your desk, or computer monitor, or seat? How bright should be the overhead lighting? Are footrests necessary? What obligation does your employer have in helping you prevent aches and pains from work? These questions are answered in great detail, and in a style that even the layperson can understand. This book was first published in 1996 with the title Help! My Computer is Killing Me. A few minor revisions have been made, mostly in the chapter on 'The Keyboard.' That earlier version received tremendous media coverage nationally and internationally. CNN carried a 5-minute interview with Dr. Imrhan, and several other TV stations transmitted more extensive interviews. Dr. Imrhan was also the guest on many local and syndicated radio programs, explaining the value of this book to people who sit in front of computers. The book was also cited in numerous newspapers and magazines.

Book excerpt: This "stunning journey through a country that is home to exhilarating natural wonders, and a scarring colonial past . . . makes breathtakingly clear the connection between nature and humanity, and offers a singular portrait of the complexities inherent to our ideas of identity, family, and love" (Refinery29). A chance discovery of letters written by her immigrant grandfather leads Jessica J. Lee to her ancestral homeland, Taiwan. There, she seeks his story while growing closer to the land he knew. Lee hikes mountains home to Formosan flamecrests, birds found nowhere else on earth, and swims in a lake of drowned cedars. She bikes flatlands where spoonbills alight by fish farms, and learns about a tree whose fruit can float in the ocean for years, awaiting landfall. Throughout, Lee unearths surprising parallels between the natural and human stories that have shaped her family and their beloved island. Joyously attentive to the natural world, Lee also turns a critical gaze upon colonialist explorers who mapped the land and named plants, relying on and often effacing the labor and knowledge of local communities. Two Trees Make a Forest is a genre–shattering book encompassing history, travel, nature, and memoir, an extraordinary narrative showing how geographical forces are interlaced with our family stories.

Book excerpt: The trees of Southcrop have made a striking discovery-one that could change the world for all their kind. But they are trapped in a forest fragment and face destruction from human sprawl. They cannot spread their new-found gift across the land. Then Auja, a young oak, finds little Fur amongst her branches. Fur is a legendary creature not seen for a thousand years, a single intelligent being emerged from a colony of caterpillars. Fur is small and meek and slow, but can travel through the forest and talk with trees. Auja persuades the reluctant Fur to help. Fur embarks on a desperate quest to find the source of all tree power-the mysterious Riverside Farm. Here he must gather the trees' great treasure and carry it across Oak River to the forests of Deep Sky. Fur's long trek is fraught with peril as he races to reach Riverside Farm before it is destroyed. Ghoulish enemies hunt him while machines wreak their deadly havoc. Yet Fur's journey is one of enlightenment as he learns about the ecology of his world, the threat of the human species, and finally, the secret of his existence.

Book excerpt: "The Valley Of Shadows is a fearful place. It Lies trapped between the Mountains of Human Ignorance and the High Planes of Indifference and treats those who venture into it with a disregard second only to the Halls of Death. Few angels, upon their own initiative, venture to pass even near to the valley. It is well known that the dangers and disasters experienced there far out-weigh any benevolence which might be gained while in it's grasp.......Yet it was upon the rim of this very place that Narison, ten-millionth of the Angelic Host traveled as he sought out the Master." Thus begins chronicle two of five spiritual quests detailing the activities of one angelic creature whose being radiates sincerity and a simplistic devotion to his station and charge. In an age of dramatic scientific advancement and an erosion of fundamental spiritual beliefs, the author challenges his readers to re-discover the great truths that can only be laid hold of by faith. Written in allegorical form, "Angel: Chronicles Of Narison" allows us to walk beside the unseen and experience life, human and spiritual, through the eyes of a creature whose sole propose and existence centers around service.
