Beschreibung

In "An Essay on the Preservation of Shipwrecked Mariners," A. Fothergill presents a compelling discourse on the humanitarian and moral imperative to support individuals stranded by maritime disasters. The text is crafted in an eloquent, yet accessible prose style, typical of the early 18th century, weaving together empirical observation and philosophical inquiry. The essay situates itself within a growing discourse on maritime safety and social responsibility, reflecting the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and humanitarian values, while engaging with contemporary debates about the ethical treatment of seafarers in distress. A. Fothergill, a figure often overshadowed in maritime literature, draws from his own experiences and keen observations of the sea's treachery and its toll on human lives. His background, possibly as a mariner or an individual closely linked to maritime communities, informs his passionate advocacy for the recognition of shipwrecked mariners' rights. His work not only mirrors the prevalent enlightenment thought but also serves as a precursor to later discourse on maritime law and social justice for seafarers. This essay is highly recommended for those interested in maritime history, ethical philosophy, and the evolution of social justice paradigms. Fothergill's urgent call for action resonates with modern readers, making it not only a historical artifact but a crucial text in understanding the enduring significance of compassion and aid for the vulnerable.

    Have you ever wondered why the leaves of the Swiss cheese plant have holes? How aloe vera came to be harnessed as a medicinal powerhouse? Or why – despite your best efforts – you can’t keep your Venus flytrap alive? 
    You are not alone: houseplant expert Jane Perrone has asked herself those very questions, and in Legends of the Leaf she digs deep beneath the surface to reveal the answers. By exploring how they grow in the wild, and the ways they are understood and used by the people who live among them, we can learn almost everything we need to know about our cherished houseplants. 
    Along the way, she unearths their hidden histories and the journeys they’ve taken to become prized possessions in our homes: from the Kentia palms which stood either side of Queen Victoria’s coffin as she lay in state; to the dark history of the leopard lily, once exploited for its toxic properties; to English ivy, which provided fishermen with a source of bait. 
    Each houseplant history in this beautifully illustrated collection is accompanied by a detailed care guide and hard-won practical advice, but it is only by understanding their roots that we can truly unlock the secrets to helping plants thrive.
