Beschreibung

In "John Muir's Incredible Travel Memoirs," readers embark on an evocative journey through the natural landscapes of America as revealed by one of its most revered naturalists. This compilation features Muir's eloquent and vivid prose, characterized by rich descriptions and acute observations that encapsulate the splendor of the wilderness. Spanning his extensive travels, from the Sierra Nevada to the rugged terrains of Alaska, the book situates Muir's reflections within the context of late 19th-century American environmentalism, revealing both the beauty of nature and its fragility amid industrial expansion. John Muir (1838-1914), known as the "Father of the National Parks," has been a pivotal figure in American environmentalism. His experiences, both as an immigrant and a naturalist, deeply influenced his writing and his advocacy for wilderness preservation. Muir's life was marked by a strong interplay between scientific curiosity and spiritual reverence for nature, which he portrays masterfully in these memoirs, capturing the essence of his lifelong commitment to exploring and protecting the natural world. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in nature writing, environmental advocacy, or the history of America'Äôs wilderness. Muir's insights are as relevant today as they were over a century ago, encouraging readers to reconnect with the outdoors and consider their role in its stewardship.

    A fascinating exploration of the natural history of scent and human perceptions of fragrance from the viewpoint of plant and pollinator 
     
     
     
    Plants have long harnessed the chemical characteristics of aromatic compounds to shape the world around them. Frankincense resin from the genus Boswellia seals injured tissues and protects trees from invading pathogens. Jasmine produces a molecule called linalool that attracts pollinating moths with its flowery scent. Tobacco uses a similarly sweet-smelling compound called benzyl acetone to attract pollinators. Only recently in the evolutionary history of plants, however, have humans learned to co-opt their fragrances to seduce, heal, protect, and alter moods themselves. 
     
     
      
    In this wide-ranging and accessible new book, biologist-turned-perfumer Elise Vernon Pearlstine turns our human-centered perception of fragrance on its head and investigates plants' evolutionary reasons for creating aromatic molecules. Delving into themes of spirituality, wealth, power, addiction, royalty, fantasy, and more, Pearlstine uncovers the natural history of aromatic substances and their intersection with human culture and civilization.
