Samira Omar Asem

Summary

A village situated in Qornayel, within Mount Lebanon, was founded in 2003, integrating seamlessly with the exceptional natural environment of the region. The area's distinctive geological formations, rugged valley cliffs, verdant vegetation, and varied plant species have influenced the author, who has been conducting ecological and botanical research in the locality since 2009.

This publication acts as a comprehensive reference to the flora of Al Salam Village in Qornayel, offering novel insights into local species supported by photographic documentation obtained during field surveys led by the author. Additionally, it covers topics such as geology, cultural heritage, forest ecosystems, rock types, wildlife, and plant nomenclature. The study catalogued 160 species with 334 photos, representing approximately 6.1% of Lebanon's total flora. The findings highlight the importance of ongoing conservation initiatives and ecological monitoring to safeguard Qornayel's biodiversity.

Hubris - The Rise Fall and...

Thomas Trappe, Johannes Krause

Humans are the most intelligent beings this planet has ever produced. But how is it that we find ourselves faced with an existential crisis that threatens to overwhelm us? 
 
 
 
Leading archaeogeneticist Johannes Krause and journalist Thomas Trappe investigate what DNA can tell us about how we got where we are and what our future might be. They show how the first humans were defeated again and again and suffered fatal setbacks, and how Homo sapiens succeeded in conquering continents, overcoming natural borders, and bringing other species under its control. But the genetic blueprint that enabled us to get to the place where we are today had one flaw: it didn't factor in planetary boundaries. Now that we are approaching those boundaries for the first time after millions of years of evolution, an urgent question arises: can we learn to live within the planetary limits, or are we doomed by our DNA to continue to expand, consume, and absorb the resources around us to the point of exhaustion, consigning ourselves and other species to extinction? 
 
 
 
While the looming climate crisis does not augur well for humanity's capacity to adapt to the new situation in which it finds itself, we are not at the mercy of our DNA—or at least we don't have to be. But can we harness the lessons of the past to survive the present?
