A Guide to the Relationship of...

Roy Snelling

Do you love wandering around you garden looking at your trees, bushes, plants and wonder what use they might have? Of course, the turnips, runner beans et cetera on your vegetable patch you know that they are good for you. But what about marigolds, dandelions, marsh mallow, acorns, pine needles? Yes, they are all edible one way or another. And going for a ramble in the Countryside? There are many wild plants, shrubs and trees that have some part that is edible. But be careful and know exactly what it is you are picking. There are two umbiliferae that you need to be aware of. Cow parsley is edible but the plant is very similar in appearance to Hemlock, which if ingested can kill you. Also, do you know which plants contain ingredients that can be made into health boosters or medicine? A surprising number, but not all of these are edible. Many plants are toxic to humans, although some contain ingredients which can be made into medicines. This book surveys over 600 plant species which were compiled into a comprehensive data-base, from which tables were constructed in the book for easy reference. Common names are given against their Botanical names. Flowers were grouped by their petal numbers. The use of each plant was recorded: is it edible, does it have health benefits, is it toxic? A very useful compendium of plant species for all plant lovers. The book is illustrated with numerous colour images of various flowers and plants.

Marginlands - Indian Landscapes...

Arati Kumar-Rao

AN ENVIRONMENTALIST’S JOURNEY THROUGH INDIA’S PRECIOUS YET VULNERABLE LANDSCAPES.In the boundless Thar, deemed a ‘wasteland’ by the authorities, miners bulldoze sand dunes guarding life-sustaining water. The Gangetic dolphin, once a thriving apex predator, struggles for survival as its riverine habitat is fragmented by dams and roiled by incessant shipping. Deep in the mangrove forests of the Sunderban, tigers prey on desperate crab-catchers. Encroachments on the Mumbai coastline unleash cataclysmic floods. Along the eroding beaches of Kerala, fishers live in fear of the sea swallowing them whole. As the spectre of climate change compounds these natural and human-induced disasters, India’s most endangered landscapes are pushed to the precipice of destruction.Arati Kumar-Rao journeys to these marginlands, listening intently to their inhabitants, paying close attention to each fissure, fold and ripple, as she documents the misguided decisions, wilfully ignored warnings and disregarded evidence that have brought us almost to a point of no return. But the land is still rich in ancient wisdom, and its cracks hold lessons that may yet aid us in undoing centuries of slow violence – so long as one is willing to attune their senses.Combining enthralling nature writing and journalism with immersive art and photography, Marginlands is an urgent, vital work by a passionate chronicler of our environment.

Looking Up - A Birder's Guide to...

Courtney Ellis, Kay Warren

"Look at the birds"
Through the painful days of the pandemic stuck in her home, Courtney Ellis found herself looking down in despair. Soon after, her beloved grandfather died unexpectedly.
It was around this same time that Ellis took up watching birds. "Took up" might not be exactly right—as she puts it, "the switch flipped," and she's been borderline obsessed with birds ever since.
Looking Up is a meditation on birding as a practice of hope. Weaving together stories from her own life, including the death of her grandfather, with reflections on birds of many kinds, Ellis invites us to open our eyes to the goodness of God both in the natural world and in our own lives. By "looking up" to the birds, Ellis found the beauty and wonder of these creatures calling her out of her darkness into the light and hope of God's promises.
Complete with bird songs at the beginning of each track, this audiobook enhances your experience as you look up and listen to the birds.
