Download or read book If These Trees Could Only Talk written by Theodore L. Kazimiroff and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever wished for a “read”, intense and compelling, with life and death adventures? Add characters with real emotions and personalities that “ring true.” Here is an amazing journey of mind and spirit, bound to get your blood racing. You will vicariously experience fear, pain, even death, at the hands of real villains. Here is the “Catharsis” Aristotle defined as the necessary goal of “drama.” What makes this story so different? It is real! The Earth-shattering cataclysms, blizzards of Ice age proportions, invasions, piracy, theft of homeland, wars and much more have all happened. Through a prequel, the author of the highly acclaimed book The Last Algonquin takes us on a virtual safari to the dawn of time, and forward to the near present. The world of the Algonquin natives springs alive: Kazimiroff leads us through a New York City park where ancient as well as more modern history is still evident. Experience the Indians’ rise and fall, the colonial era and modern times through a series of interrelated first-person stories, events and anecdotes. The author was raised and taught Indian lore, history, woodsmanship and survival skills in Pelham Bay Park, The Bronx, which is actually the largest by far of all New York’s public parks. The book includes maps and a self-guided multi-disciplinary walking tour which is separate from the official “Kazimiroff Nature Trail.” Go! Stand in the foot-print of a malicious devil. Listen for the “spirit voices” on the wind, and study the many natural sciences available in the protected sanctuaries of this park treasure. Whatever you do, enjoy your park as the unique heritage it certainly is.

Book Synopsis I Can't Talk About the Trees Without the Blood by : Tiana Clark
Download or read book I Can't Talk About the Trees Without the Blood written by Tiana Clark and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For poet Tiana Clark, trees will never be just trees. They will also and always be a row of gallows from which Black bodies once swung. This is an image that she cannot escape, but one that she has learned to lean into as she delves into personal and public histories, explicating memories and muses around race, elegy, family, and faith by making and breaking forms as well as probing mythology, literary history, her own ancestry, and, yes, even Rihanna. I Can’t Talk About the Trees without the Blood, because Tiana cannot engage with the physical and psychic landscape of the South without seeing the braided trauma of the broken past—she will always see blood on the leaves.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2018 JOHN BURROUGHS MEDAL FOR OUTSTANDING NATURAL HISTORY WRITING “Both a love song to trees, an exploration of their biology, and a wonderfully philosophical analysis of their role they play in human history and in modern culture.” —Science Friday The author of Sounds Wild and Broken and the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Forest Unseen visits with nature’s most magnificent networkers — trees David Haskell has won acclaim for eloquent writing and deep engagement with the natural world. Now, he brings his powers of observation to the biological networks that surround all species, including humans. Haskell repeatedly visits a dozen trees, exploring connections with people, microbes, fungi, and other plants and animals. He takes us to trees in cities (from Manhattan to Jerusalem), forests (Amazonian, North American, and boreal) and areas on the front lines of environmental change (eroding coastlines, burned mountainsides, and war zones.) In each place he shows how human history, ecology, and well-being are intimately intertwined with the lives of trees. Scientific, lyrical, and contemplative, Haskell reveals the biological connections that underpin all life. In a world beset by barriers, he reminds us that life’s substance and beauty emerge from relationship and interdependence.

With years and years of wisdom and experience, what unspoken and little-known bits of information would trees share? The tree in this story realizes it is about to be removed from the spot where it has stood since it was a mere seedling. Its removal is necessary in order for "progress" to take place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All trees have a story. Holly Worton has spent the last few years talking to trees – the yews, the oaks, the beeches and the sycamores. You’re probably wondering: How is it that trees can talk? Is this for real? Trees are living, breathing organisms which humans are able to connect and talk to on a deeper level through silent, telepathic communication. Trees have a much broader perspective on life compared to humans. Trees can live hundreds and even thousands of years. This means Trees have thousands of years of wisdom that we’re able to tap into. Talking to the trees can bring us back to our true selves and can reflect back to us the things we need to see in ourselves. It can also be a space for deep healing. Living in the technology age, however, we spend our lives connected to computers, mobile phones, and video games. Consequently, we've become increasingly disconnected from ourselves and from Nature. This book is meant to gently encourage you to get back to Nature and turn to the magic and the wisdom of the trees. By reconnecting to Nature, you can improve your relationship with yourself, which will help you make better, more aligned choices in your life. This book is for you if: · You love Nature and the outdoors. · You feel like there’s something more to life, but you don’t know what that is. · You’re feeling disconnected from yourself, like your life has somehow gotten off Track. · You feel like you don’t really know who you are anymore…or maybe you’ve never truly known yourself at all. · Life is going just fine, but you have the notion things could be much better. Throughout this book, you’ll follow the author, Holly Worton on a journey of connecting on a deeper level with the wisdom of the trees. You’ll hear their stories, and you’ll be given a series of experiments to carry out, should you choose to do so. These will help you to connect with yourself through connecting with Nature, and they’ll open you up to the deep wisdom and healing that the trees can offer. The trees will help you to get out of your head and into your body, so you can feel more deeply and truly experience all the JOY that life has to offer.

Book Synopsis Finding the Mother Tree by : Suzanne Simard
Download or read book Finding the Mother Tree written by Suzanne Simard and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the world's leading forest ecologist who forever changed how people view trees and their connections to one another and to other living things in the forest—a moving, deeply personal journey of discovery Suzanne Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; her TED talks have been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide. In this, her first book, now available in paperback, Simard brings us into her world, the intimate world of the trees, in which she brilliantly illuminates the fascinating and vital truths--that trees are not simply the source of timber or pulp, but are a complicated, interdependent circle of life; that forests are social, cooperative creatures connected through underground networks by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities with communal lives not that different from our own. Simard writes--in inspiring, illuminating, and accessible ways—how trees, living side by side for hundreds of years, have evolved, how they learn and adapt their behaviors, recognize neighbors, compete and cooperate with one another with sophistication, characteristics ascribed to human intelligence, traits that are the essence of civil societies--and at the center of it all, the Mother Trees: the mysterious, powerful forces that connect and sustain the others that surround them. And Simard writes of her own life, born and raised into a logging world in the rainforests of British Columbia, of her days as a child spent cataloging the trees from the forest and how she came to love and respect them. And as she writes of her scientific quest, she writes of her own journey, making us understand how deeply human scientific inquiry exists beyond data and technology, that it is about understanding who we are and our place in the world.
Book Synopsis We Live in a Jungle by : Phil Heubach
Download or read book We Live in a Jungle written by Phil Heubach and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a land called the Jungle Kingdom. It was once a paradise where the strong and the weak could live together without fear. Then suddenly, and without warning, a few of the strongest Creatures became predators. With each passing year, their numbers increased, now dominating the land. Today, they are known as the Meat Eaters. A young and precocious Rabbit, named "Rapid" Roberta, is determined to save the kingdom from the increasing numbers of the Meat Eaters. To do so, Roberta will need to overcome her own inner "demons" and the forces of Nature. With her courageous effort to save the kingdom from the Meat Eaters, Roberta must find Cyrus the Great Horned Owl, who is considered the wisest and most compassionate Creature who has ever lived. To find Cyrus, Roberta must journey through the Dark Forest, which is under the shroud of a deadly curse. Also challenging Roberta's hopes of regaining their lost paradise, is the vicious, outlawed Tiger and the enraged Cheetah, the fastest Creature in the kingdom, who has threatened to have Roberta's fury hide. Then, too, there are the giant-sized Gorillas, the majestic King Lion and his Golden Horde, and Queen Cobra, known as the Mean Queen. With a zealous desire to fulfill her quest, Roberta will meet Tiny, a shy and cautious Turtle, who would rather stay in his shell than enter the Dark Forest. When they discover that there is some one "above" and "beyond" their Cyrus the Great, they are devastated. This story seems to have a dark side. However, it is subdued by the love, compassion, and humor found on almost every page. Throughout the story, there are twists and turns, and a mystery that will keep the readers guessing: (With the qualities of love, compassion, and awareness, ) who is The Elder that is above all living Creatures? And the primary question is: What actions are taken by The Elder in an effort to overcome the threat of the Meat Eaters?
Book Synopsis The Music Box Kingdom by : AQEEL AHMED
Download or read book The Music Box Kingdom written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Music Box Kingdom A monarchy stuck in a music box, with its own power battles and royal intrigue. In Summary An old music box that seems to have been lost over time is found by a little girl named Lily in a dusty corner of an attic. It turns out to be more than it seems. Once Lily winds up the music box's delicate mechanism, she is swept away to the center of the machine, where tunes and harmonies rule a bright and magical world. The so-called "Music Box Kingdom" is in danger. This group's future is in danger because the music that makes it appealing is going away. The realm is a beautiful magical place where Lily has to solve puzzles and find secrets. As she enters the world of song, she sees how bad things are there and how important it is for her to bring it back to life. Lily's unplanned trip turns into a very important task. A magical glowing flute leads her on a quest to find the Lost Melody, which is the key to keeping the kingdom's music alive. Along the way, she meets many people who live in the country. There are funny sprites by the Rhythmic River and whispering trees in the Whispering Woods. They all teach her to be wise and kind. These relationships make her more determined, and they also show the way to unity. Lily's adventure, in which she faces the Guardian of Silence and persuades the Symphony of Shadows to share their lost songs, shows how powerful harmony can be and how music can last forever. With the Lost melody in her hand, she brings back the kingdom's tune, creating a bond between herself and the magical place that will last forever. The Music Box Kingdom comes back to life with color and tune after almost dying of lack of activity. A song about bravery, friendship, and the lasting power of music is its only comfort. Chapter 1: What was found in the attic. Lily's house had an attic tucked away in a quiet corner. It was full of old memories and mysteries just ready to be solved. There were a lot of boxes in the attic. Lily chose to check out this empty place one day because she was interested and wanted to go on an adventure. As she climbed the creaky stairs, dust danced in the light beams that cut through the darkness. This created a strange atmosphere that spelled magic and mystery. In all the mess and spiderwebs, Lily saw a very strange thing: a music box. This wasn't any old box; it seemed to be filled with magical energy. It looked very old and had elaborate carvings that told stories of faraway places and times long ago. The music box was interesting; it looked like it had been waiting for Lily to find it. Lily reached out and gently wound the music box. She was so excited that her hands were tingling with anticipation. The first sounds flew into the air, and something amazing began to happen. It wasn't just music; the song was a key to another world. The box's sounds spun around Lily, making a tune that made her feel like she was in a warm hug as the attic around her became fuzzy. Before Lily knew it, the dull attic was gone, leaving behind a world she had never seen before. This was not a normal country; the whole world was singing. As the trees swayed, their leaves rustled in time, making a soft drumming sound. The music made the blossoms bloom at the same time, and their colors were bright and alive. There were notes in the air that made the sky look like it was dawn or dusk. Lily thought the music box took her deep into its heart, where harmony and song were the most important things. The sound of music filled Lily's heart with unimaginable happiness, and her eyes were wide with awe. The music box's hypnotic powers are shown by how smoothly it takes you from the sad attic to this beautiful paradise. It looked like the scene was alive and full of energy because music and color were everywhere she looked. This realization was the start of Lily's biggest journey. She had found a way to get to a world where music was life itself, not just a music box. It was a strange feeling, like you were in a dream world where each note was a paintbrush stroke on this bright globe. Lily knew at that moment that she was about to go on a journey like no other. This adventure would help her find the mysteries inside the old music box and show her the true power of music. Chapter 2: The Salutation of the Queen Lily felt more and more amazed as she explored the music box's bright world. It had beautiful scenery, and the people who lived there were different from anyone she had met before. Nobody else lived in the Music Box Kingdom like them, and happiness and music came to them like air. They danced and sang about Lily. Their voices were like a friendly chorus, and their moves were like a welcome ballet. When Lily was greeted with such warmth, she felt like she had joined a family she had no idea existed. One person stood out from the crowd; they were brighter and more majestic than the others. King Harmony was the ruler of the Music Box Kingdom. Just being around, him was as relaxing as a nice tune. As he got closer to Lily, his smile seemed to light up the whole world. King Harmony was more than just a king; he was the music that made this magical land go. His eyes sparkled with the beauty of a thousand songs, and his robes moved with the ease of a symphony. King Harmony greeted Lily kindly and told her how happy he was to have her here. After that, he told her the secret that had kept their kingdom alive: music wasn't just art or pleasure, it was the main force behind everything. The air was filled with harmonies and melodies that made everything in the land grow. The trees, the wind, and the water all loved them. When Lily understood that music could be more than just nice sounds, she had an epiphany. In this case, music was the very essence of being. But the king told them a scary truth, and his mood got worse. The music that kept the kingdom alive had started to lose its power. The music was not only getting less beautiful, but it was also a threat to the Music Box Kingdom's very survival. The kingdom would lose its color, joy, and life very quickly without music. It was sad to think that such a lively atmosphere could become dull and quiet. Lily was deeply affected by what King Harmony said. She became more determined as she looked around at the happy faces of her new friends, the dancing leaves, and the singing rivers. The kingdom had welcomed her with open arms, but it now faced an existential danger. Lily knew she couldn't just stand there and enjoy the beauty and music at that moment. She had to do something. She was greeted with open arms by the people of the Music Box Kingdom. Now it was her turn to thank them by helping them when they needed it.
