  From the magnificence of a towering redwood to the simple elegance of a tiny dandelion, seed-bearing plants abound on planet Earth. The sheer diversity of plants thriving today is largely thanks to the evolution of the seed, as this made plants resilient to environmental changes by enabling them to await optimum conditions for growth before springing to life. In a time of declining biodiversity, studying seeds is now helping scientists preserve this plant diversity for future generations. With Seeds, Carolyn Fry offers a celebration of these vital but unassuming packages of life. She begins with a sweeping tour through human history, designed to help us understand why we should appreciate and respect these floral parcels. Wheat, corn, and rice, she reminds us, supply the foundations of meals eaten by people around the world. Countless medicines, oils, clothing materials, and building supplies are available only because of the versatility and variety of seed-bearing plants. Fry then provides a comprehensive history of the evolution of seeds, explaining the myriad ways that they have adapted, survived, and thrived across the globe. Delving deeper into the science of seeds, she reveals the fascinating processes of dormancy, reproduction, germination, and dispersal, and showcases the estimable work conservationists are doing today to gather and bank seeds in order to prevent species from going extinct. Enriched by a stunning array of full-color images, Seeds offers a comprehensive exploration of some of the most enduring and essential players in the natural world.

  Smart Trader: The Psychology and...

  Trading is often painted as a world of numbers, algorithms, and quick decisions. But behind the charts and tickers lies something much deeper—the mind of the trader. I have written The Smart Trader to explore this often overlooked aspect of trading, where psychology, discipline, and emotion meet strategy, risk, and execution. 
  Over the years, I’ve met countless traders who knew all the right strategies, had all the technical tools at their disposal, and yet, struggled to make consistent profits. Why? Because trading is not just about understanding the markets. It’s about understanding yourself. Success in trading is rooted in mastering your emotions, managing your impulses, and remaining disciplined through uncertainty. 
  This book is divided into two parts, each designed to guide you through this complex world. The first half focuses on the psychological principles that every trader must embrace—discipline, patience, risk management, and mindfulness. These traits are not only necessary for survival in the market but also for long-term success. 
  The second half transitions into the technical side of trading, where I explore the strategies that work in real-time intraday markets. But I won’t just be presenting these in a dry, technical manner. You’ll learn through the journeys of Bill, Elon, Steve, and Jeff—traders who each have their strengths and flaws, just like all of us. Their experiences are meant to be relatable, and through them, you’ll see how psychology and strategy blend together in the fast-paced world of derivatives and crypto trading. 
  Thank you for picking up The Smart Trader. Let’s begin the adventure.
