Download or read book Bouquet written by Richard Cady and published by . This book was released on 2021-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting in the summer of 2018 - and the two subsequent blooming seasons - the author, using the camera in his cell phone, took natural but artfully composed wildflower photos on his daily dog walks. It was his purpose to capture the awe and delight he'd experienced over the years since his first exposure to the wildflowers of the Southwest. For the most part, he has used the common names of the flowers in each entry, adding anecdotal information gleaned from his research and his own observations. Although it is as accurate a report on the history, folklore, medicinal uses, and/or botanical makeup of each plant as he can provide, it is not intended to be a scientific survey or an addition to the professional botanical literature. This book is meant for people who - like himself - are transplants to the Southwest, and for those visitors who pour into New Mexico - this branded "Land of Enchantment." Locals who are just beginning to explore the myriad of wildflowers and plants in Northern New Mexico and the surrounds of Santa Fe may also enjoy and learn from the book. Strewn among the various entries, the author has also included poetry, quotations, and some additional photos that he hopes will give the reader a sense of the time and place of his wildflower-gathering.

Download or read book Feral written by George Monbiot and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-09-26 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an investigative journalist, Monbiot found a mission in his ecological boredom, that of learning what it might take to impose a greater state of harmony between himself and nature. He was not one to romanticize undisturbed, primal landscapes, but rather in his attempts to satisfy his cravings for a richer, more authentic life, he came stumbled into the world of restoration and rewilding. When these concepts were first introduced in 2011, very recently, they focused on releasing captive animals into the wild. Soon the definition expanded to describe the reintroduction of animal and plant species to habitats from which they had been excised. Some people began using it to mean the rehabilitation not just of particular species, but of entire ecosystems: a restoration of wilderness. Rewilding recognizes that nature consists not just of a collection of species but also of their ever-shifting relationships with each other and with the physical environment. Ecologists have shown how the dynamics within communities are affected by even the seemingly minor changes in species assemblages. Predators and large herbivores have transformed entire landscapes, from the nature of the soil to the flow of rivers, the chemistry of the oceans, and the composition of the atmosphere. The complexity of earth systems is seemingly boundless."
