Synopsis

Trees and Soil explores the vital link between trees and the soil, highlighting their interdependence for ecological balance. It emphasizes how tree roots play a crucial role in soil stabilization, preventing erosion, and boosting land fertility, all essential for environmental stewardship and sustainable land management. The book uniquely integrates mechanical, hydrological, and biochemical perspectives, revealing complex feedback loops within terrestrial ecosystems.

 
Did you know that tree root networks can significantly increase soil shear strength, reducing landslides? Or that trees help regulate water infiltration, mitigating floods and droughts? 

 
The book begins by introducing soil science and root biology, then progresses through sections analyzing the mechanical role of roots in soil stabilization, the hydrological functions of trees, and the biochemical interactions contributing to nutrient cycling. It demonstrates how the tree-soil relationship creates a self-reinforcing system, applicable in reforestation, sustainable agriculture, and urban planning.

 
Case studies show the impact of deforestation on slope stability, while watershed studies illustrate the role of trees in flood control, making complex earth science concepts accessible.

 
This book is valuable to those in earth sciences geography and environmental science, providing a holistic understanding of the tree-soil dynamic, moving beyond the traditional view of trees as mere soil stabilizers. By examining data from field studies, soil analyses, and experimental manipulations, Trees and Soil shows how understanding this connection is essential for promoting ecological preservation and sustainable practices.

    The inspirational story of the compassionate and wise animals of the Gentle Barn and how they became a therapeutic salve for countless guests—and mentors for all of us in how to live and die 
     
    In Cow Hug Therapy, Ellie Laks recounts the extraordinary journey that started with her first teacher, Buddha—not the religious figure, but a rescued miniature Hereford cow. One evening Buddha wrapped her neck around an exhausted and upset Ellie and transferred a singular form of healing and comfort with an incredible impact. Understanding that this was something to be shared with others, Ellie developed Cow Hug Therapy, a groundbreaking approach to emotional healing that has proved effective for trauma, illness, disabilities, addiction, grief, and stress. 
     
    This colorful and compelling narrative introduces the healing mavens of the barnyard, each with a unique story of being rescued from trauma and treated with love and respect. In their new role at Ellie’s Gentle Barn sanctuaries, these animals have transformed lives and ignited breakthroughs and newfound purpose for visitors including a young mother who lost her baby, a suicidal teenager, a wounded serviceman, an open-heart-surgery patient, and many more. A testament to empathy and the mission to heal animals, people, and the planet, Cow Hug Therapy serves as a beacon of hope for all seeking healing and connection. 
     
    “This book shows not only the power of Cow Hug Therapy with these wonderful creatures, but also their beautiful, individual personalities.”—Christina Applegate
