Download or read book Witness Tree written by Lynda Mapes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate look at one majestic hundred-year-old oak tree through four seasons--and the reality of global climate change it reveals. In the life of this one grand oak, we can see for ourselves the results of one hundred years of rapid environmental change. It's leafing out earlier, and dropping its leaves later as the climate warms. Even the inner workings of individual leaves have changed to accommodate more CO2 in our atmosphere. Climate science can seem dense, remote, and abstract. But through the lens of this one tree, it becomes immediate and intimate. In Witness Tree, environmental reporter Lynda V. Mapes takes us through her year living with one red oak at the Harvard Forest. We learn about carbon cycles and leaf physiology, but also experience the seasons as people have for centuries, watching for each new bud, and listening for each new bird and frog call in spring. We savor the cadence of falling autumn leaves, and glory of snow and starry winter nights. Lynda takes us along as she climbs high into the oak's swaying boughs, and scientists core deep into the oak's heartwood, dig into its roots and probe the teeming life of the soil. She brings us eye-level with garter snakes and newts, and alongside the squirrels and jays devouring the oak's acorns. Season by season she reveals the secrets of trees, how they work, and sustain a vast community of lives, including our own. The oak is a living timeline and witness to climate change. While stark in its implications, Witness Tree is a beautiful and lyrical read, rich in detail, sweeps of weather, history, people, and animals. It is a story rooted in hope, beauty, wonder, and the possibility of renewal in people's connection to nature.

Book excerpt: (As seen on CBS News Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood) Trees resonate deeply in the souls of millions of people. A lonely bur oak in the middle of a southwest Wisconsin cornfield spoke to photographer Mark Hirsch. That Tree spoke of hidden beauty and hope. It spoke of patience and dedication. It even gave him personal healing he wasn't aware he needed. Thus every day for the next year Hirsch would quietly attempt to coax the stories from That Tree. Hirsch, after purchasing his first iPhone, scoffed at the idea that a professional photographer would find the camera inside his new phone interesting in any way. A good friend goaded him into trying it and one day in the middle of a January snow storm Hirsch took his first picture of That Tree. He'd driven past That Tree every day for 19 years and never took a picture. That would change. Now a passionate Facebook following of 33,000+ people look for Hirsch's daily picture of That Tree and countless media outlets have featured Hirsch's story including NPR, NBC News, Le Monde, The Guardian, Sierra Club, Chicago Tribune, Denver Post, San Francisco Chronicle, and many more. That Tree is hardcover, 192 pages, measuring 10x10 inches and is published by Press Syndication Group. 2013.

Book Synopsis Beneath The Old Oak Tree by : Drac Von Stoller
Download or read book Beneath The Old Oak Tree written by Drac Von Stoller and published by Drac Von Stoller. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beneath the Old Oak Tree, the wind howled like a banshee, whipping through the gnarled branches of the ancient oak. Its roots, twisted and gnarled, seemed to grip the earth with a death-like tenacity. Beneath its canopy, a shallow grave marked the resting place of Melvin Pierce, a man once obsessed with gold. Melvin had been a prospector during the gold rush, a man blessed with an uncanny ability to find the precious metal. Instead of cashing in, he'd buried his fortune beneath the oak, his obsession growing with each nugget he unearthed. He'd never shared his secret, fearing that others might covet his wealth. As the years passed, so too did his health. His hearing faded, and his eyesight grew dim. Finally, he decided to dig his own grave beside his buried treasure. On a dark, stormy night, Melvin had made a pact with the Devil. In exchange for eternal protection of his gold, he had agreed to a terrible curse. Anyone who stumbled upon the oak tree would face dire consequences. Decades later, a young man named Thomas stumbled upon the oak tree. He was lost, his car having broken down in the remote wilderness. The storm raged around him, and the ancient tree offered a momentary respite from the elements. As he leaned against its trunk, he felt a strange chill, as if a cold draft were blowing from the grave beneath his feet. Ignoring the feeling, Thomas sat down and pulled out his phone to call for help. But as he reached for it, a strange, guttural sound echoed through the night. It was a sound he couldn't quite place, a mix of laughter and something else, something sinister. A sudden gust of wind rattled the branches above him, sending a shower of leaves cascading down. One of them landed on Thomas's phone, short-circuiting it. He tried to shake it off, but it was no use. His phone was dead. Panic began to set in. He was alone, in the middle of nowhere, with a raging storm and no way to call for help. As he stood up to leave, he felt a strange sensation in his chest. It was as if something was pulling at his heart. He tried to ignore it, but the feeling grew stronger. Then, he heard it again: the chilling laughter, followed by a low growl. A shadowy figure emerged from the darkness beneath the oak tree. It was tall and gaunt, with glowing red eyes. As it approached, Thomas could see that its skin was pale and sickly, and its hands were long and claw-like. "You have disturbed my master's peace," the creature hissed, its voice like a cold wind.
Book Synopsis Ancient Oaks in the English Landscape by : Aljos Farjon
Download or read book Ancient Oaks in the English Landscape written by Aljos Farjon and published by Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: England has more ancient native oak trees than the rest of Europe combined. How did that come about? The reasons are all historical, and nothing to do with climate or soil factors. This story goes back to the Norman conquest of England in 1066. They created Royal Forests, chases and deer parks, where only the nobility could hunt or keep deer and it was forbidden to cut the trees. This was, if you like, an early form of nature conservation, but for the sake of privileged hunting. Preservation of these oaks further continued through a combination of private ownership of thousands of parks, conservatism of the landowners, overseas timber availability and the absence of ruining wars on the English landscape; the majority of which had been confined to the continent. Modernisation of forestry in England only took hold after 1920, and by that stage too late to destroy all of the old and worthless hollow trees. In contrast, modern forestry was introduced on the continent at least 200 years earlier, with devastating results for ancient trees. We owe the ancient oaks to all these circumstances which created a unique 'population' of ancient oaks, highly important for biodiversity and an asset unique to England. In this book Aljos Farjon combines history with science and tells the story of how ancient oaks have shaped the English landscape over the past 1000 years. The two native species of oak, pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) and sessile oak (Q. petraea) are among the longest living trees in England. And using data made available by 'citizen science' (data gathered by volunteers across the country) Aljos explains this remarkable situation by giving detailed evidence, enhanced with beautiful images of these stunning oaks as well as graphs and maps.

Book excerpt: Ken Kennison is not his real name. His drug-addicted parents sell him to an unscrupulous lawyer while he is still an infant. But cruel fate intervenes, and Kenny spends the next seventeen years of his life being shuffled from one foster home to the next. With every new home and family, Kenny seeks the care and love that every child needs-and that most take for granted. But instead, he receives only variations of physical and mental abuse. Teen-aged Kenny finds a journal, and as he travels in search of his past, he records his observations, mostly in poetic prose. Despite his troubled childhood, Kenny remains a good person, and at the end of his life, he is granted a special gift. Years later, Will Healy, a successful young author, learns of Kenny's gift and how it has dramatically changed his life. But the best is yet to come
