Winter Season

Amara Darwin

Sinopsis

"Winter Season" offers a fascinating exploration of how life adapts and persists during the coldest months, presenting a comprehensive examination of winter survival mechanisms across plants, animals, and humans. The book masterfully weaves together research from ecology, biology, and environmental science to reveal the sophisticated adaptations that have evolved over millions of years, from the chemical processes behind plant dormancy to the varied hibernation strategies of mammals.

 
Through three main themes - biological adaptation, ecological interconnection, and environmental impact - the text progresses from fundamental concepts to complex interactions. Readers discover intriguing phenomena such as how deciduous trees prepare for winter by breaking down chlorophyll and storing nutrients, and how bears maintain awareness during torpor while conserving energy. The book particularly shines in its detailed exploration of supercooling in plants and thermogenesis in mammals, supported by long-term studies and data from various climate zones.

 
What sets this work apart is its methodical approach to connecting biology, chemistry, and physics in winter survival mechanisms, while remaining accessible to educated general readers. The inclusion of practical applications for wildlife conservation and agricultural planning makes it especially valuable for students, environmental scientists, and nature enthusiasts. Moreover, the book addresses crucial contemporary issues, examining how climate change affects traditional winter patterns and what this means for species adaptation in temperate and polar regions.

Take to the Trees - A Story of...

Marguerite Holloway

Journalist Marguerite Holloway arrives at the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop as a climbing novice, but with a passion for trees and a deep concern about their future. Run by twin sister tree doctors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll, the workshop helps people develop impressive technical skills and ascend into the canopy. As Holloway tackles unfamiliar equipment and dizzying heights, she learns about the science of trees and tells the stories of charismatic species, including hemlock, aspen, Atlantic white cedar, oak, and beech. She spotlights experts who are chronicling the great dying that is underway in forests around the world as trees face simultaneous and accelerating threats from drought, heat, floods, disease, and other disruptions. 
 
 
 
As she climbs, Holloway also comes to understand the profound significance of trees in her relationship with her late mother and brother. The book's rousing final chapter offers something new: a grander environmental and arboreal optimism, in which the story of trees and their resilience meshes with that of people working to steward the forests of the future, and of community found among fellow tree climbers. A lyrical work of memoir and reportage, Take to the Trees sounds the alarm about rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.

Hope for Caregivers - A 42-Day...

Henri Nouwen

Henri Nouwen's timeless wisdom reminds us once again of the transformation that love brings, both when we allow ourselves to give love with abandon and when we allow ourselves to receive love. Caregiving too often is reduced to a list of tasks—doing the things that another individual cannot do independently. In six weeks of daily devotions inspired by the words of Henri Nouwen and intertwined with Scripture and prayer, Hope for Caregivers summons us away from our lists for a few moments each day and draws us to a fresh framework for the experience of giving care.
