Sinopsis

Fog Drinks Plants explores the remarkable adaptations of coastal plants that allow them to thrive by capturing moisture directly from fog. This vital, yet often overlooked, water source plays a critical role in these ecosystems. Understanding the biological mechanisms behind fog interception reveals how specialized leaf structures, like tiny hairs and waxy coatings, enable plants to condense and absorb water from the air, offering a unique insight into plant physiology and water availability in arid landscapes.

 
The book examines the ecological significance of fog, demonstrating its influence on plant distribution, abundance, and overall resilience in water-limited coastal environments. It highlights how these fog-dependent ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to climate change and habitat destruction.

 
Progressing from an introduction to atmospheric water harvesting, the book delves into morphological adaptations, ecological implications, and concludes with a discussion on conservation strategies, offering a comprehensive view of fog's importance. This book stands out by integrating physiological, ecological, and climatological perspectives, presenting a holistic understanding of fog interception.

 
By combining field observations with laboratory analyses, Fog Drinks Plants emphasizes the need to protect these unique ecosystems, making it valuable for both researchers and anyone interested in botany, environmental science, and the intricate relationship between nature and plant adaptations.

Running After Paradise - Hope...

Colleen M. Scanlan Lyons

Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is a paradise to many. In Southern Bahia, surfers, billionaires, travelers, and hippies mingle with environmentalists, family farmers, quilombolas (descendants of formerly enslaved people), and nativos, or “locals.” Each of these groups has connections to the unique environment, culture, and character of this region as their home, their source of a livelihood, or perhaps their vacation escape. And while these connections sometimes converge, at other times they clash.
The pressures on this tropical forest are palpable, and people’s responses to these pressures are also varied. What was once the state’s economic mainstay, cacao production, is only now beginning to make a comeback after a disease decimated the crops of large and small farmers alike. Tourism, another economic hope, is susceptible to economic crises and pandemics. And the threat of a massive state-led infrastructure project involving mining, a railroad, and an international port has loomed over the region for well over a decade.
Southern Bahia is at a crossroads: develop a sustainable, forest-based economy or risk losing the identity and soul of this place forevermore. Through the lives of environmentalists, farmers, quilombolas, and nativos—people who are in and of this place—this book brings the people alive who are grappling with this dilemma.
Anthropologist Colleen M. Scanlan Lyons brings the eye of a storyteller to present this complex struggle, weaving in her own challenges of balancing family and fieldwork alongside the stories of the people who live in this dynamic region. Intertwined tales, friendships, and hope emerge as people both struggle to sustain their lives in a biodiversity hotspot and strive to create their paradise.
For those interested, this book is also available in e-book and physical print formats, which contain the table of contents, maps, acknowledgements, pictures of the people and stories featured, footnotes, references, and an index.

Journeying across the continents, Matt Collins and Roo Lewis tie together both the historical context and modern-day applications of some of the world's most fascinating and iconic trees.
Forest is a celebration of the diverse ways in which trees and forests are as magnificent, economically relevant and profoundly enchanting today as they ever have been.
Journeying across the continents, writer Matt Collins and photographer Roo Lewis tie together both the historical context and modern-day applications of some of the world's most fascinating and iconic trees. They explore the heritage of woodlands from around the world and meet those whose lives are inexplicably bound to them.
The book is divided into 10 main chapters, each of which explores a tree from a particular genus – Pine, Juniper, Oak, Hornbeam, Cherry, Beech, Birch, Chestnut, Douglas-fir and Poplar. Each chapter provides the reader with a short introduction to the tree, followed by a journalistic account of its relevance to modern day-life (from gin making on Isle of Islay to a truffle farm in Spain), and concludes with an account of the tree in its native forest (from hornbeams in the Ironwoods of Ontario to firs on Vancouver Island).
Captured on medium-format film, Roo’s stunning, rich colour images are the perfect companion to Matt’s engaging storytelling and botanical knowledge. Forest crafts a captivating interpretation of the story of the forest through the trees.
Matt Collins Forest is a non-fiction exploration of conservation, botany, and the protection of our ecosystems. Pre-order this up-coming book to learn about the latest themes and subjects in earth sciences and geography.
