  About Relationships and Climate ChangeThe challenge of climate change is one of the defining issues the world is facing at the start of the 2020s. It has mobilised a whole new generation of social activists, some of whom are going to extreme lengths to confront the public and especially political leaders with the threat that climate change makes to their future and the planet as a whole.Arguments about the causes of climate change are usually underpinned by the assumption that more human beings living on the planet are inevitably bad for the environment and climate. However, a careful biblical reflection on these issues yields a more nuanced and hopeful view, and this report seeks to stimulate fresh conversations about how best to respond to Climate Change now and in the future.

  Geology - The Earth's Secrets...

  The Earth’s formation is a story of cosmic collisions, immense heat, and gradual cooling that set the stage for the planet we know today. Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system emerged from a vast cloud of dust and gas. This cloud, known as the solar nebula, began to collapse under gravity, forming the Sun at its center. Around this young star, particles of dust and rock started clumping together, eventually leading to the creation of planets, including Earth. 
  In its early years, Earth was a molten sphere, continuously bombarded by asteroids and comets. These impacts contributed to the planet’s mass and introduced essential elements like water. As gravitational forces compressed Earth’s interior, temperatures soared, causing heavy materials such as iron and nickel to sink toward the core while lighter elements like silicon and oxygen remained near the surface. This process, known as planetary differentiation, led to the formation of Earth’s three primary layers: the core, mantle, and crust. 
  The early atmosphere of Earth was vastly different from what it is today. Initially, it consisted of hydrogen and helium, but solar winds stripped these gases away. Volcanic activity and ongoing collisions released vast amounts of carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and ammonia, forming a thick and toxic atmosphere. Over time, as volcanic eruptions continued, water vapor condensed to form clouds, eventually leading to heavy rainfall that lasted for thousands of years. These rains filled low-lying areas, giving rise to the first oceans.

  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.

  For millennia, trees have offered renewal and inspiration. They have provided for humanity on every level, from spiritual sanctuary to the raw material for our homes, books, and food. In this beautiful and revealing book, National Geographic combines legendary photography with cutting-edge science to illuminate exactly how trees influence the life of planet Earth—from our personal lives to the weather cycle. Beautifully illustrated essays tell the stories of the world's most remarkable trees, from Tane Mahura in New Zealand, the ancient Maori "lord of the forest," to Pando, a single aspen spreading over 100 acres: Earth's largest living thing. You'll also discover how an astronaut carried tree seeds to the moon and back; the reason "microdosing" on tree gas is a sure way to boost your immune system; and why playing in the dirt boosts serotonin, happiness hormone. For nature and science enthusiasts, as well as photography lovers, Into the Forest is a beautiful and edifying gift to give or cherish.
