Sinossi

In the meticulously curated anthology 'Toadstools, Mushrooms, Fungi, Edible and Poisonous; One Thousand American Fungi,' editors Charles McIlvaine and Robert K. Macadam explore the vast and bewitching world of North American fungi. The collection masterfully intertwines scientific inquiry with lyrical exposition, capturing the essence of mycological diversity. Spanning from the inviting to the perilous, these works navigate the intricate relationships between humanity and this less visible kingdom of life. Among its pages, readers encounter vivid depictions of nature's paradox: life-sustaining fungi juxtaposed with their deadly counterparts, illustrating a broader reflection on nature'Äôs dualities. McIlvaine and Macadam, through their own research and curation, join a historical lineage of botanists and naturalists who broke ground in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, enriching our understanding of fungal biodiversity. The anthology pays homage to the burgeoning scientific curiosity of an era that sought to catalog and comprehend the natural world. It acknowledges the cultural significance of fungi, not merely as specimens but as integral facets of the American landscape, interwoven with indigenous knowledge and burgeoning academic discourse. For both casual readers and dedicated scholars of nature, this anthology offers a rare invitation to expand one'Äôs knowledge of fungi and to appreciate the confluence of science and art in understanding it. The collection serves as an invaluable educational tool, offering a panoramic glimpse into the variety and complexity of fungal life, and sparks a dialogue on the intricate dance between curiosity, discovery, and respect for the natural world. Such a compilation enriches the reader's appreciation for the ecological intricacies that McIlvaine and Macadam so adeptly present.

Dani Robertson

Best New Books on Space 2024 – Forbes
‘Rarely is a non-fiction book about science this engaging’ – Forbes
Why darkness is so important – to plants, to animals, and to ourselves – and why we must protect it all costs.
Darkness is the first thing we know in our human existence. Safe and warm inside the bubble of the womb, we are comfortable in that embracing dark. But as soon as we are bought into the light, we learn to fear the dark. Why?
This book is a celebration of all things that go bump in the night and the joy that can be found when the sun goes down. As a society we have closed our curtains to the darkness, now Dani Robertson urges you to cast those curtains wide, step out of your front door and let the darkness pull you in.
Some 99 per cent of Western Europeans live under light polluted skies, but what is this doing to our health? Our wellbeing? Our connection to the cycles of nature?
Our wildlife, too, has been cast into the harsh glare of our light addiction, with devastating impacts.
In this book Dani shares with you the excitement and adventure she has found when everyone else is tucked up in bed. She explores constellations and cultures, enjoys environmental escapades, all whilst learning why we are addicted to light and why it is ruining our lives. She’ll show you why the darkness is so important and why we must protect it all costs. You’ll become a crusader of Darkness and an expert on what we can do to stop the onward march of light pollution (clue: it’s as easy as the flick of a switch).
Her life depends on darkness, and yours does too.
Dani Robertson's All Through The Night is a non-fiction exploration of the importance of darkness in our ecosystems. It's a journey through the wilderness of the night sky, touching on topics of astronomy, ecology, and conservation. This bestseller is a call to action for the protection of our habitats from light pollution.
