The woods

Douglas Malloch

Sinopse

In Douglas Malloch's evocative collection "The Woods," readers are invited into a serene yet profound exploration of nature and its intricate relationship with human existence. Through Malloch's trademark lyrical style, characterized by a rich tapestry of imagery and rhythmic cadences, the book melds personal reflection with the broader existential themes of solitude and communion with the natural world. His keen observations anchor the prose in the context of early 20th-century American literature, where nature writing emerged as a reflection of burgeoning environmental consciousness and an antidote to industrialization's encroachments. Douglas Malloch, often celebrated as one of the notable voices in American poetry, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a lumberman and avid outdoorsman, which profoundly shaped his appreciation of the woods. His deep-rooted connections to nature not only fostered a profound understanding of its rhythms but also instilled in him a responsibility to advocate for its preservation. With a background that intertwines literature and forestry, Malloch's works reflect his dual commitment to the craft of writing and the stewardship of the natural environment. "The Woods" stands as a timeless recommendation for anyone seeking solace and reflection in the embrace of nature's simplicity. Readers will find themselves captivated by Malloch's ability to articulate the complex interplay between humanity and the wild, leading them to contemplate their own relationships with the environment. This collection remains a pertinent reminder of the beauty and fragility of the natural world, inspiring both reverence and introspection.

The Black Death - Plague and...

Harris Ropes

The story of the Black Death begins long before it reached the shores of Europe. At the heart of the devastation was a bacterium called Yersinia pestis, the microorganism responsible for one of the deadliest pandemics in human history. This pathogen is believed to have originated in the arid plains of Central Asia, where it lived in a natural reservoir within rodent populations, particularly marmots. These animals, though mostly isolated in remote areas, became the starting point for a chain of transmission that would eventually span continents.
Early outbreaks of plague-like illnesses were recorded in China and other parts of Asia as early as the 13th century, suggesting that the bacterium was already circulating in the region. However, it was the growing network of trade routes, especially the Silk Road, that allowed the disease to move rapidly from one community to another. Merchants, caravans, and travelers unknowingly carried infected fleas and rats from one trading hub to the next, creating a direct path for the disease to follow.
One of the most significant early episodes linked to the Black Death's arrival in Europe occurred during the Mongol siege of the Crimean city of Caffa (modern-day Feodosiya) in 1346. According to some historical accounts, the Mongols, after suffering an outbreak in their own ranks, used the infected corpses of their dead as biological weapons by catapulting them over the city walls. While the historical accuracy of this account is debated, it symbolizes the critical role Caffa played as a point of transmission. From this port city, fleeing Genoese merchants are believed to have carried the disease back to Italy by ship, bringing the plague directly into European trading centers.

Green Greenwich reveals the many green spaces in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in south east London. Candy Blackham has spent three years exploring the woods, flowery meadows, parks and nature reserves with her camera. She shares with us her enjoyment of the many sites which are found around almost every corner, and all within forty minutes of central London. Each site has a brief historical description and photographs which tempt us to go walking every day of the year as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves, and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of autumn. As you walk in the parks discover herons, foxes, many varieties of butterflies and other insects, and of course the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the Thames, enjoy views from hilltops, explore the canals of Thamesmead, and take time to enjoy the calm of the natural surroundings. Candy Blackham has given us another unique book which invites us to go walking beyond our usual haunts and reminds us how fortunate we are to have these green spaces and how much they depend on our protection and vigilance so that they are not lost in London's growth.
