Book excerpt: Inspired by Klimt’s famous mural The Tree of Life, this dreamily illustrated children’s book tells the story of a magical tree whose fruit saves lives. Painted during the artist’s "golden period," Gustav Klimt’s The Tree of Life has been interpreted in myriad ways. This children’s book deftly incorporates the mysteries and depth of Klimt’s masterpiece into a story for young readers. A young man is given a seed that grows into a beautiful fruit-bearing tree. After tasting the fruit, he can see into the future, including events that will put the lives of others in danger. A king and his lovely princess daughter test the boy’s predictions, and love ensues. As children turn the pages of this exquisite book, they will be drawn into the intricately detailed and boldly colored illustrations, which echo Klimt’s own artistry. The book includes a gorgeous reproduction of The Tree of Life, along with information about Klimt and his work. Designed to encourage children to discover new details each time they open the pages, this is a charming book that will be read over and over again.

Book excerpt: What if the stories of trees and people are more closely linked than we ever imagined? Winner of the World Wildlife Fund's 2020 Jan Wolkers PrizeOne of Science News's "Favorite Books of 2020" A New York Times "New and Noteworthy" BookA 2020 Woodland Book of the YearGold Winner of the 2020 Foreword INDIES Award in Ecology & EnvironmentBronze Winner of the 2021 Independent Publisher Book Award in Environment/Ecology People across the world know that to tell how old a tree is, you count its rings. Few people, however, know that research into tree rings has also made amazing contributions to our understanding of Earth's climate history and its influences on human civilization over the past 2,000 years. In her captivating book Tree Story, Valerie Trouet reveals how the seemingly simple and relatively familiar concept of counting tree rings has inspired far-reaching scientific breakthroughs that illuminate the complex interactions between nature and people. Trouet, a leading tree-ring scientist, takes us out into the field, from remote African villages to radioactive Russian forests, offering readers an insider's look at tree-ring research, a discipline known as dendrochronology. Tracing her own professional journey while exploring dendrochronology's history and applications, Trouet describes the basics of how tell-tale tree cores are collected and dated with ring-by-ring precision, explaining the unexpected and momentous insights we've gained from the resulting samples. Blending popular science, travelogue, and cultural history, Tree Story highlights exciting findings of tree-ring research, including the fate of lost pirate treasure, successful strategies for surviving California wildfire, the secret to Genghis Khan's victories, the connection between Egyptian pharaohs and volcanoes, and even the role of olives in the fall of Rome. These fascinating tales are deftly woven together to show us how dendrochronology sheds light on global climate dynamics and uncovers the clear links between humans and our leafy neighbors. Trouet delights us with her dedication to the tangible appeal of studying trees, a discipline that has taken her to austere and beautiful landscapes around the globe and has enabled scientists to solve long-pondered mysteries of Earth and its human inhabitants.

Download or read book A Flowering Tree and Other Oral Tales from India written by A. K. Ramanujan and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of oral tales from the south Indian region of Kannada represents the culmination of a lifetime of research by A. K. Ramanujan, one of the most revered scholars and writers of his time. The result of over three decades' labor, this long-awaited collection makes available for the first time a wealth of folktales from a region that has not yet been adequately represented in world literature. Ramanujan's skill as a translator, his graceful writing style, and his profound love and understanding of the subject enrich the tales that he collected, translated, and interpreted. With a written literature recorded from about 800 A.D., Kannada is rich in mythology, devotional and secular poetry, and more recently novels and plays. Ramanujan, born in Mysore in 1929, had an intimate knowledge of the language. In the 1950s, when working as a college lecturer, he began collecting these tales from everyone he could--servants, aunts, schoolteachers, children, carpenters, tailors. In 1970 he began translating and interpreting the tales, a project that absorbed him for the next three decades. When Ramanujan died in 1993, the translations were complete and he had written notes for about half of the tales. With its unsentimental sympathies, its laughter, and its delightfully vivid sense of detail, the collection stands as a significant and moving monument to Ramanujan's memory as a scholar and writer.

Innovative and timeless, Tap the Magic Tree asks you to help one lonely tree change with the seasons. Now that’s interactive—and magical! It begins with a bare brown tree. But tap that tree, turn the page, and one bright green leaf has sprouted! Tap again—one, two, three, four—and four more leaves have grown on the next page. Pat, clap, wiggle, jiggle, and see blossoms bloom, apples grow, and the leaves swirl away with the autumn breeze. The collage-and-watercolor art evokes the bright simplicity of Lois Ehlert and Eric Carle and the interactive concept will delight fans of Pat the Bunny. Combining a playful spirit and a sense of wonder about nature, Christie Matheson has created a new modern classic that is a winner in every season—and every story time!

Book excerpt: The Old Willow Tree and Other Stories by Carl Ewald is a charming collection of tales that weave together elements of nature, folklore, and moral lessons. Ewald's storytelling transports readers into a world where trees, animals, and natural elements come to life, each with their own personalities and stories to tell. This anthology, rich in imaginative narratives and profound wisdom, is perfect for readers of all ages who appreciate the magic and lessons found in nature. The titular story, "The Old Willow Tree," centers around a venerable willow tree that has stood for generations, witnessing the passage of time and the changes in its surroundings. The tree, personified with wisdom and a gentle spirit, becomes a silent observer of human life, offering shelter and solace to those who seek it. Ewald's lyrical prose captures the essence of the willow tree, imbuing it with a sense of timelessness and quiet strength. Through the tree's interactions with various characters, readers are reminded of the importance of resilience, patience, and the silent but profound impact of nature on human life. Another notable story in the collection is "The Little Fir Tree." This tale follows the journey of a young fir tree that dreams of growing tall and strong, longing to see the world beyond the forest. As the seasons change, the fir tree learns valuable lessons about growth, ambition, and the passage of time. Ewald's vivid descriptions bring the forest to life, and his sensitive portrayal of the fir tree's dreams and challenges resonate with readers, offering insights into the virtues of patience and contentment. "The Brave Little Oak" is a story that highlights courage and determination. In this tale, a small oak sapling faces the harsh realities of nature, including storms and competing vegetation. Despite its small size, the oak exhibits remarkable bravery and perseverance. Ewald's narrative underscores the message that true strength comes from within and that even the smallest of creatures can achieve greatness through resilience and tenacity. In "The Talking Brook," Ewald introduces readers to a lively brook that gossips and shares stories with the forest animals. The brook's bubbling personality and ceaseless chatter provide a playful backdrop to the story, while also imparting lessons about the value of communication and the beauty of nature's interconnectedness. Through the brook's tales, readers are reminded of the importance of listening, empathy, and the joy of sharing stories. "The Wise Old Owl" is a story that delves into themes of wisdom and knowledge. The owl, a symbol of wisdom in many cultures, becomes a mentor to the younger animals in the forest, sharing its knowledge and guiding them through various challenges. Ewald's portrayal of the owl is both dignified and approachable, making it a beloved character in the collection. The story emphasizes the importance of seeking knowledge, respecting elders, and the responsibility that comes with wisdom. "The Old Willow Tree and Other Stories" is a testament to Carl Ewald's ability to blend imagination with moral lessons, creating timeless tales that resonate with readers of all ages. His deep appreciation for nature and his insightful observations about life are evident in each story, making this collection a treasured addition to any library. Through these stories, Ewald not only entertains but also educates, encouraging readers to reflect on their own lives and the natural world around them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the nineteenth century folklorists, and the general public in their wake, have assumed the orality of fairy tales. Only lately have more and more specialists been arguing in favour of at least an interdependence between oral and printed distribution of stories. This book takes an extreme position in that debate: as far as Tales of magic is concerned, the initial transmission proceded exclusively through prints. From a historical perspective, this is the only viable approach; the opposite assumption of a vast unrecorded and thus inaccessible reservoir of oral stories, presents a horror vacui. Only in the course of the nineteenth century, when folklorists started collecting in the field and asked their informants for fairy tales, was this particular genre incorporated into a then feeble oral tradition. Even then story tellers regularly reverted to printed texts. Every recorded fairy tale can be shown to be dependent on previous publications, or to be a new composition, constructed on the basis of fragments of stories already in existence. Tales of magic, tales in print traces the textual history of a number of fairy tale clusters, linking the findings of literary historians on the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries to the material collected by nineteenth- and twentieth-century field workers. While it places fairy tales as a genre firmly in a European context, it also follows particular stories in their dispersion over the rest of the world.
