Synopsis

Giant Sequoia Longevity explores the secrets behind the remarkable lifespan of giant sequoias, the world's largest trees. It focuses on how these trees have thrived for millennia, offering insights into their survival strategies and the environmental conditions they've endured. By studying tree rings, scientists can uncover past climate patterns and fire regimes, revealing how sequoias have adapted to environmental change. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding these ancient trees, not only for their natural history but also for informing conservation efforts in our rapidly changing world.

 
The book uniquely presents giant sequoias' life history through their tree ring records, revealing long-term ecological stories. It investigates their anatomical and physiological traits, such as their thick bark and decay-resistant wood, which contribute to their resilience.

 
The book progresses by introducing the foundational principles of dendrochronology and then analyzing tree ring records to disentangle the influences of climate variability and fire frequency on tree growth. This approach integrates earth sciences, geography, and nature, providing a holistic perspective on sequoia longevity and the challenges of conserving these iconic species.

In Simple Times, Amy Sedaris sets the record straight and delivers a book that will forever change the world of crafting.

You will cook your own edible crafts, from a Crafty Candle Salad to Sugar Skulls, with many more recipes and craft ideas that will inspire you to create your very own hastily constructed obscure d'arts.Praise for Simple Times  "Amy Sedaris is a kookier, kitschier version of Martha Stewart...Simple Times is an ideal gift for the crafter who has crafted everything." - Associated Press"A wildly cheeky guide." -- InStyle  "For anyone who's ever collected hats crocheted together...or simply for fans of Amy Sedaris and her idiosyncratic sense of humor." -- New York Times Book Review

    From strange behaviour to interesting prey-vs.-predator relationships to fantastical creatures, the animal world is full of fascinating facts about our furry, feathered and scaly friends:
    		 
    The wood frog burrows into the leaf litter in winter; its heart, brain and eyeballs freeze, and they defrost again in the spring.
    		 
    In 2006, a hunter shot and killed a hybrid of a grizzly and a polar bear, dubbed a grolar or pizzly bear, the first to be found in the wild.
    		 
    The bombardier beetle protects itself by expelling a boiling hot chemical spray from its rear end.
    		 
    A woodpecker’s tongue is so long that it rolls up in the bird’s skull like a tape measure in its case.
    		 
    Rabbits produce two kinds of stool: one that the animal eats, which is rich in vitamins and nutrients, and another that is waste matter.
    		 
    Some clever crows drop nuts onto roadways so that passing vehicles drive over them and break the shells open.
    		 
    The horned lizard defends itself by squirting blood from its eyes.
    		 
    Canada was home to 2.5-metre-long giant sea scorpions 400 million years ago.
