Palm trees of the Amazon and their uses - Exploring the diverse uses of Amazonian palm trees

Alfred Russel Wallace

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Palm Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses," Alfred Russel Wallace presents a meticulous exploration of the diverse species of palm trees found in the Amazon rainforest, illuminating their myriad ecological and utilitarian roles. Wallace's literary style combines vivid, observational prose with scientific rigor, reflecting the Victorian era's passion for natural history. Through detailed descriptions and classifications, he situates the palms within the broader context of Amazonian biodiversity, while also addressing the intersections of indigenous knowledge and Western scientific inquiry, early aspirations of sustainable resource use, and the challenges posed by encroaching colonization. Alfred Russel Wallace, a contemporary of Charles Darwin and a pioneering naturalist in his own right, is celebrated for his contributions to the theory of evolution and biogeography. His lifelong fascination with the natural world, spurred by his extensive travels in the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago, enabled him to develop a keen understanding of plant life and its importance to both ecosystems and human societies. This book reflects his holistic worldview and underscores his commitment to documenting and preserving the natural treasures of the tropics. Recommended for botanists, ecologists, and enthusiasts of natural history, "Palm Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses" serves as both an informative guide and a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human activity. Wallace'Äôs work invites readers to appreciate the palms'Äô beauty and their vital role in indigenous cultures, offering insights that remain relevant to contemporary discussions on conservation and sustainable practices.

Green

Suzannah Evans

'My mother was an oak treemy dad a garage mechanicMy father was a field of wheatmy mother the Prime MinisterMy mother was an innkeeperand my father a lonely cactus…'
Suzannah Evans' new pamphlet introduces us to Green, half human, half angry nature spirit. Green serves as a stunt double for our own rage and complicity in nature's destruction. He shows us nature's delights so we may mourn their loss more deeply.
'In this delicious mini-biography of the mythic figure, Suzannah Evans has conjured up a Green Man – now modishly monikered 'Green' – who is witness, listener, accountant, cheerleader, of all and every aspect of nature. An inveterate listicle maker, he can't help but nag us until our attention is drawn back inexorably to the wonder of the world; it's nightmares too. Whether he is supervising extinctions, lavender farming, or picking up plastic litter on the beach, Green is unabashedly a fun, wry and playful personality to spend some time with.' Rishi Dastidar
'Green is a contemporary secular canticle, where matter and living beings are in mischievous, polyphonic dialogue. Channelled through this beyond-human figure, it presents a decentred ecology where "Green isn't rooting for anyone" – but where we must find a way to befriend 'him', without turning him into a 'man'. Earth is lively and re-enchanted, in Green's contemporary and accessible animism. We are invited to accept the majesty of llama memes alongside the 'death drop' of species extinction. Fuck you, Green says to the wasps, stinging him all over, I still love you. A gentle, passionate, good-natured plea, for even the stickiest, ickiest, grossest creatures to be named in Green's – and humanity's – affections.' Caleb Parkin
