Sinopse

"Mangrove Mysteries" explores the remarkable world of mangrove forests, detailing how these saltwater trees thrive in harsh coastal ecosystems. These unique trees have developed fascinating adaptations, such as salt exclusion mechanisms in their roots and specialized root structures that allow them to breathe in oxygen-poor soils. The book uncovers how mangrove forests play critical ecological roles, serving as nurseries for marine life and providing vital coastal protection against erosion.

 
The book progresses systematically, first introducing mangrove characteristics and then delving into their physiological adaptations and ecological importance, including carbon sequestration. It highlights the threats these ecosystems face, such as deforestation and climate change, and explores conservation strategies.

 
By combining physiological, ecological, and conservation perspectives, the book offers a holistic understanding of mangrove ecosystems. This exploration bridges scientific understanding with real-world implications, making it valuable for students, conservationists, and anyone interested in nature and biology. The book’s integrative approach makes it a unique contribution to understanding and protecting these vital habitats which are essential for both biodiversity and human well-being.

The Rural Diaries - Love...

Anônimo

The beloved actress and star of One Tree Hill, White Collar, and Lethal Weapon, Hilarie Burton, tells the inspiring story of leaving Hollywood for a radically different kind of life in upstate New York with her husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan—a celebration of community, family, and the value of hard work in small town America.
While Hilarie Burton’s hectic lifestyle as an actress in New York and Los Angeles gave her a comfortable life, it did not fulfill her spiritually or emotionally. After the birth of their first son, she and her husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the star of The Walking Dead, decided to make a major change: they bought a working farm in Rhinebeck, New York, and began a new chapter in their lives.
The Rural Diaries chronicles her inspiring story of farm life: chopping wood, making dandelion wine, building chicken coops. Burton looks back at her transition from urban to country living—discovering how to manage a farm while raising her son and making friends with her new neighbors. She mixes charming stories of learning to raise alpacas and buying and revitalizing the town’s beloved candy store, Samuel’s Sweet Shoppe with good friend Paul Rudd and his wife Julie, with raw observations on the ups and downs of marriage and her struggles with infertility. Burton also includes delicious recipes that can be made with fresh ingredients at home.
Burton’s charisma, wide eyed attitude, and fortitude—both internal and physical—propels this moving story of transformation and self-discovery. The Rural Diaries honors the values and lifestyle of small-town America and offers inspiration for anyone longing to embark on their own unconventional journey.

The Life Cycle - 8000 Miles in...

Kate Rawles

One woman's journey through South America - and the devastating story of our planet's disappearing biodiversity 
 
Pedalling hard for thirteen months, eco adventurer Kate Rawles cycled the length of the Andes on an eccentric bicycle she built herself. The Life Cycle charts her mission to find out why biodiversity is so important, what's happening to it, and what can be done to protect it. 
 
From the Pacific Ocean to rainforests and salt flats, Kate learns that armadillos can cross rivers by holding their breath, that Colombia has more species of birds than North America and Europe combined, and that in threatening species and ecosystems, we're tearing down our own life support system. En route, she witnesses the devastation of goldmining and oil drilling but finds hope in the incredible people working to regenerate habitats and communities. As she reaches the 'end of the world', she realises that to tackle biodiversity loss we all have a role to play. 
'A gripping read for anyone who cares about what we're doing to the planet and how we can change it' DAVID SHUKMAN, FORMER BBC NEWS SCIENCE EDITOR 
 
'Searing observations focused on our need to protect biodiversity - A tour de force' SIR TIM SMIT OBE, CO-FOUNDER OF THE EDEN PROJECT
